A 62-year-old man driving a ZIL vehicle was stopped by officers of the State Automobile Inspectorate (GAI) due to suspicion of intoxication. A breathalyzer test confirmed a blood alcohol content of 2.2 промилле. According to the video released by the GAI, the driver offered 1600 Belarusian rubles to avoid legal consequences.
