A dangerous maneuver involving a black Audi with Swiss license plates is causing widespread debate in Kosovo and Switzerland, after video of the incident was widely shared on social media.
The incident occurred in Gjilan, where the driver, instead of waiting in traffic, dangerously swerved to the right, crossing the sidewalk and moving between the trees on the side of the road.
After that, he re-entered the road with a sharp left turn, overtaking the column of vehicles that were waiting.
“Time gain: a few seconds”, writes the Swiss newspaper Blick, who has paid attention to this incident.
Kosovo Police has reacted to this case.
On Friday, she announced that the driver had been identified, fined, and the Swiss state had been notified of his actions.
According to reports ViewThe vehicle is registered to a man in the canton of Thurgau. The person in question has not been available for comment at this time.
In the comments under the video published online, users express outrage.
“This is an insult to the Swiss,” wrote one commenter. Others suspect that a young man, perhaps a relative of the owner, may have been behind the wheel, and are calling for Swiss authorities to take action against the driver.
Blick describes that the Audi was driving suspiciously even earlier: “it constantly accelerated and then braked hard. And suddenly swerved to the right. Maybe it didn’t have the patience to wait,” the newspaper quotes.
The case raises concerns again about the behavior of some migrant drivers on Kosovo’s roads and the need to respect traffic rules, regardless of where they are located.
