️ According to the Traffic Safety Service, cases of individuals driving vehicles while having their licenses revoked will now be automatically detected through surveillance cameras installed on roads. This development marks a significant step in enforcing traffic regulations and combating violations, as authorities aim to enhance road safety through technological means.

️ Modern photo and video recording cameras on roads are equipped with driver facial recognition technology. This system identifies the person operating the vehicle and automatically flags instances where citizens with revoked licenses are driving. Such technologies are intended to ensure compliance with traffic rules, prevent offenses, and further strengthen road safety, though their implementation raises questions about privacy and the effectiveness of such measures in reducing accidents.

️ Under the law, individuals caught driving with a revoked license for the first time face a fine equivalent to 50 times the base calculation amount (20.6 million Uzbek soums). If the offense is repeated, the violator may be subject to penalties including up to 3 years of imprisonment. Experts urge drivers to strictly adhere to traffic rules and, in particular, avoid driving when their licenses are revoked, as this not only constitutes a violation but also poses a serious threat to road safety, highlighting ongoing challenges in driver compliance and enforcement.

️ It is noted that starting April 1, 2026, Uzbekistan will begin accruing penalty points for violations recorded by cameras. Exceeding the limit of 12 points could result in license suspension for up to 6 months. Points are assigned to the actual driver – more details are available on Kun.uz, indicating a broader shift towards automated traffic management systems that may face scrutiny over their impact on drivers and fairness.
