I stopped him and asked for local insurance.
He immediately began to talk like you and boldly. I didn't have it, I read the law before entering Abkhazia, it doesn't say compulsory insurance, and they would probably have told me at the customs checkpoint.
But no, he tells me the opposite, and says I'll take my license now, switching to speeding.why are you violating, you're driving 75 at the 40 sign. You've already violated it 2 times, now I'm going to take your license away, and he shows a rustle of fingers, hinting at money.
He pretended not to notice and started asking where?Please show me that I drove according to the rules and couldn't break them.
To which he says, you're arrogant! violated, I must say, punish me!Don't argue with me!
I tell him, I'm not arguing with you, I'm just asking for a photo or video of my violation.
Realizing that I couldn't be separated, he handed over the documents and said something in his own language, I think he wished me a good trip.
If you want to plunge into the atmosphere of the nineties, then you will at least go to this poor "country" and at most visit this main attraction, everything is waiting for you here, from threats to extortion of money out of the blue for no reason, as well as you will be shown amazing tricks with a device for measuring alcohol intoxication - which is a miracle at the end of 3 days after drinking a bottle of beer, it will show you some crazy values, in general, I strongly advise you not to go to this homeless place, the attitude is as disgusting as possible to tourists, and to all the "staff" of this post, I wish you all to die as soon as possible, as well as your mothers, wives, children and all relatives)
They are being bred for money, we were driving a car rented in Sochi, only us were stopped from the whole stream, at first they wanted to get hold of the insurance, but it was done in advance, the employee took the license and STS in his hands and told my husband to get out of the car and follow him. They took him to the back to some kind of room, another employee was waiting for him there and started talking about the fact that we had violated the speed limit somewhere, we were driving 63 km/h at the allowed 30, and the camera recorded us in some tinted car on the side of the road
They couldn't provide any evidence to their accusations, they showed some kind of left-hand photo and said "there was a camera there," and they couldn't find this record at all, because "there are 10 such cars on the way, where are they even looking for this record now?"
They threatened to take their license or car and go on vacation., and pick up everything on the way back, well, or pay a fine of 6K
As a result, they "took pity" and agreed on 3k, gave back the documents and said "if you keep going at this rate, you won't get far"
In general, my impressions of the country and my mood were ruined for the rest of my vacation, and all the time we were just thinking about how we were going to get back.
We definitely won't consider this destination as a trip anymore.👎🏻
In short, you will be bred for money, even if you have not violated anything anywhere.
They stopped you, they say, they say you were driving 60 where you could have driven 30, for this disqualification and a fine for which you need to pay in Sukhumi. When asked to show a video recording of the violation, he begins to say that you were filmed from a black car and they will definitely find you. And he starts - don't you need a license? They're demanding money blindly. I gave away 3000, I decided not to spoil my vacation.
I thought this was an isolated incident, but no. They stop at absolutely all posts and a divorce begins - then you have a child without a child safety seat, although you don't need it in Abkhazia for a child of 7 years old. This time it was saved by the fact that I myself am a former police officer.
I just stopped at Lake Ritsa, and among other cars with Abkhaz license plates, I immediately jumped out of the bushes and screamed that parking was illegal here. Either I revoke your rights, or pay me 3,000 at once.
Bottom line: the country is beautiful, but the attitude of traffic police towards tourists has absolutely ruined the rest. I have never seen such an attitude towards tourists by car in any country. Even in Georgia, there was no such attitude.
I will not go by myself anymore and I will recommend everyone not to go to Abkhazia.
We were vacationing in Abkhazia in Gudauta, decided to use a rental car, rented a 777 car rental, a Honda fit gray number 345 with Abkhazian plates. The first day we drove without incident towards Sukhum. On the second day, we decided to go to Lake Ritsa. Driving past this post, an employee named Timur stops us, takes our license and leads us to a booth. This is where it all starts, you allegedly increased the speed, to which I ask you to show me where? Oh, will you be like that? He says, yes, you are also drunk, picks up the phone and breathes into it himself, it shows 0004 ppm. I'm going to call my doctor or we're going to donate blood to a local hospital. Come on, he says 30 thousand rubles, and go on or we will go to donate blood, which in my hospital will show that you drank and then you will look for the right all over Abkhazia. As a result, there was nothing to do but give 25 thousand rubles. He gave us five back, probably for gas. Then he called the next post in front of me and said allegedly don't touch our rented car.
In general, the day was ruined upon arrival at the hotel, they immediately handed over the car, there were 4 days left in the hotel until the end of the rest, they did not call a taxi and left for Sochi. To sum up, do not rent a car, you have heard that they do setups and you will be ripped off at almost every post on your car with Russian license plates.
Conclusion: it's better to relax in Russia or if you want to see Abkhazia, take a tour from morning to evening, it's quite enough to see the sights of Abkhazia.
Typical ransomware.For the lack of Abkhaz insurance, they will ask for 2000 rubles (although the fine is 500).They have no right to withdraw Russian rights.Before you go to their DPS post, read the reviews in Yandex about the relevance of the laws at the time of the violation.I would not recommend breathing into a tube for alcohol.Insist on a visit to a special institution.
I drove past this post 4 times, I was stopped 2 times by a rental car! The first time they bred for oncoming traffic. First, the leading questions, from where, where, what are the glasses? And then he called to the post, takes out his phone and shows a photo of the same blue Honda fit car, which goes through the solid in the middle! I remember perfectly well how I was driving and where, that I didn't even overtake anyone on the road! I'm saying it's not my car, I didn't drive like that! Show me the photo again, with the license plate number. And he hid the phone and didn't show it! He said that only you Muscovites need to be punished! We'll punish you next time! He did not say what to punish for, he gave the documents!
The next day we were driving, we were stopped again by another inspector. I immediately ask, "What happened? Why do you keep stopping me? Do you like the color of the car? "They let me go right away. And there was the same blue Honda fit car on duty!! Someone from the staff!! So think about who was driving through solid oncoming traffic in the photo?!!
In the 22nd year at the same post they were fined for running out of rights, although GDP extended for 3 years to everyone!! The inspector was the same and said that GDP was not an order for them here!
If you want to get back to the 90s of the 20th century, then you are welcome to visit this post in your car. We went to Abkhazia for 1 day, and the local traffic police immediately stopped us and charged us 10,000 rubles. In general, all cars with Russian license plates are very desirable there)
They always slow down for the same reason.
I don't care about the local numbers or not)))
They check mainly for alcohol
They work for the sake of you understand !
Trying to cheat, be careful driving through this post
Werewolves in uniform. Extortionists. You will be accused of gross traffic violations, but you will not be able to provide evidence. Then they will move on to threats. You will have a unique opportunity to plunge into the era of the 90s. I do not recommend you to visit.
There was an unpleasant story with this post. I came to Abkhazia from Sochi for the third day. Before that, I was somehow bypassed by traffic police posts for two days (they really like to check the local CTP, which is expensive here). On this day, I was not so lucky - two outfits had already stopped me before this post (I am law-abiding - I had a CTP from the very beginning) and without foreshadowing trouble, I stopped at a motorcycle at this post at the gesture of an employee. I handed it over to the CTP inspector, replied amiably that I was going from Sochi to see the waterfalls in the Kodori Gorge and was leaving Sochi tomorrow for home. And then he asked me for a driver's license and STS. He put them in his pocket and began to tell me that we motorcyclists ride exclusively on solid ground, and I am generally a scoundrel and flew through the school at a speed of at least 100 or even 200 km / h, this was recorded by the camera online (Abkhazian technologies, blasphemy) and he will show me a recording in his closet.
I rested my horn and said - I did not violate, you write the protocol, we will meet in court. And he told me - and in such cases, our driver's license and STS are taken away before the trial. This bad man almost openly extorted a bribe. I was very surprised at the impudence of this inspector and suggested that he take me to the nearest phone so that I could consult with the Russian ambassador or someone at the consulate about the legality of the seizure of my documents. Fortunately, there were witnesses and other inspectors nearby and he generously "forgave" me (although he almost ultimatum asked me to say "thank you". I'm not sorry, I said, I don't need a conflict) and let go.
P.S.: if local officials read me, this phenomenon is not OK, such goats scare away tourists. And yes, I did not break the rules on my tourist motorcycle: firstly, it is unrealistic, there are huge speed bumps near the schools of Abkhazia, on which you can lose the wheels and leave the suspension at a speed of 30 km / h, and secondly, I was driving on Yandex.I followed the speed limit on maps and on all cameras, I don't need problems with the law in another country.
October 2024 They slowed down for two days in a row, and the violations are the same, allegedly exceeding over 30 km.h, but I know that I did not exceed it, and, as it turned out, there were no cameras in these areas, they threatened to deprive me of my rights in both cases, the first time they let me go, realizing where I was, the second time I had to go on their terms! Moreover, other posts have never made any claims, since I did not violate traffic rules.
Guys, respect the visiting citizens of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, it is thanks to them that you earn. If you put a greasy spot, gradually, they will simply stop driving to you, there are a lot of places where you can have a decent and cheaper rest.
As for the local drivers, most of them are savages, they don't know the rules at all!
We had a rest in September of this year, in Abkhazia we passed this traffic police post many times, each time we were stopped to check our documents, and each time they said that we had violated something, then we increased the speed 3 kilometers before the post, but could not provide data, another time they said that we went on the opposite side I crossed a solid strip, and they have a video fixation, but they can't deliver it, in general, they are engaged in deception. There was no such thing until 20024.
Traffic cops stopped me all the time. Once they even cheated for money under the pretext of taking away their rights. Although there were no violations. I'm just tired of hanging out there. In other cases, the issue was resolved without money.
07/29/24 a young major stopped me, allegedly I drove through a solid oncoming lane and also exceeded the speed limit. Another one runs up with the words - yes, yes, this is the insolent one. - I drove around the asphalt paver put by the cops 500 meters from the traffic police in my lane. Apparently, they informed the traffic police on the phone. The documents were taken away. I'm on a rented car with rooms in Abkhazia. The divorce has begun - we take the documents, send them to Sukhum, then catch them there. The fine for my violations is from 3 to 6000. I drew up a protocol, seeing that I don't really want to pay, without specifying the details. He behaved impudently..I gave him 2,300 in the end. Let such money go to him for the treatment of an incurable. Impressions of Abkhazia were spoiled.
I traveled to Abkhazia twice, twice they tried to take money off me at this post. I confess that I was too lazy to read the traffic regulations of Abkhazia. The locals use it very cleverly. They hang noodles on their ears, intimidate them with hardships.
It all starts simply with checking the insurance, then you need to show the trunk and now you have already crossed a solid line.
I share my conclusions.
1. Always ask to show a video recording!!!
2. You can pay fines on the spot through the payment terminal.
3. With any "deprivation" of the right, you can restore it, declare the loss when passing the border and then simply restore it.
4. For driving without a license in Abkhazia, a fine of 5 minimum wage is about 300 rubles. It's easier to say that they don't exist so that you just lose interest.
Trust in traffic police officers in Abkhazia has been lost.
04/29/2024 was stopped on the road between Boxwood Grove and Litfond by a mobile traffic police unit. They stopped me to check my documents. After making sure that the documents were in order, and I myself was from Russia, they asked me to blow into a tube. I blew, the device showed a value of 0.141 mg/l. The inspector said that this was an excess, since the permissible conversion was 0.016 mg/l. When I started to find out if the device had a verification, what its accuracy was and why, instead of a verification certificate, they showed me some kind of copy, they began to scare me that they would take me to Sukhum for an examination. I say, okay, take it, I haven't drunk alcohol for more than 5 days, I'm sure I'm 100% sober, ready for any HONEST checks. In general, they let me go in the end, spoiling the mood completely. Then I decided to check what blood alcohol level is acceptable. It turned out that the threshold value legally established in Abkhazia is 0.16 mg/l. That is, 10 times higher than this inspector told me. And my value (0.14) fits into the norm of a sober driver. This is the negative hospitality of the Abkhazian traffic cops to the Russians.
They take bribes. They invent non-existent violations. They take advantage of the fact that Russians go home through this post. They say the fine is 3000, here's a receipt for you, go pay, you will arrive with a paid receipt, we will return the license. Naturally, it is easier to give a paw than to go back and go to the bank and pay the same cost.
It is indicative that they write a protocol, then they offer to solve it for money, if you are sure that you have not violated, stand your ground, no one will take away your rights.
Fellow tourists from Russia! If, after all, you decide to rent a car in Abkhazia and admire the nature of this country, then, first of all, do not adopt the driving style of the local "Schumachers". And secondly, do not take the word of the local Gaians about your alleged violations, which can be presented, for example, at this post.
They constantly stop, and only with Russian license plates, the locals completely violate the rules of driving, the law is not written for them in Abkhazia.
They are being bred for money under the pretext of alcohol intoxication, which does not exist. Everything will come back to you in life! Both the good and the bad)
It was at this post that they did not slow down, I drove there and back several times. But closer to the PSC, they slowed down on the first day. But adequate young Gaians. They asked for the docks as usual, it turned out that our Russian insurance is invalid on the territory of Abkhazia and it is necessary to insure with them. Fortunately, across the street, right in front of the traffic police post, there is a stall where temporary CTP is issued. The minimum period is 15 days, the cost is 1,000rubles. Before making out, I asked how much the fine is if not done - from 1,500 to 3,000. I did. I didn't take a picture of the policy myself, but if someone needs it, I'll do it without any problems. By the way, when crossing the border, at the exit from customs, there is a warning banner about the need to insure foreign cars.
They are being substituted. Specially. So that you make mistakes. And they take pictures on the phone . They don't take pictures of the locals. They violate everywhere and everywhere. And tourists are bred for money. So pay attention.
This is a traffic police post in Russia for a long time, there are no such, if you go from Sukhum towards Gagra, there is a rise in front of this post and a lane for overtaking appears, I go overtaking, there are two more turns and opa, a traffic police post and a speed bump, I brake sharply so as not to fly into a speed bump and all this on in the eyes of a traffic police officer, of course he stops, asks a lot of questions, did not drink, what are you chasing and so on, a lot of suspicion and so on, in general, it's not pleasant, therefore, do not go overtaking before this post.
Interesting lieutenant.... You say your license is overdue for several months... I say that in Ross. The laws were extended for 3 years, he says, I think this does not apply to us. I say, so we were let through at your border and several races have already been stopped and such a question has not arisen... He says I don't know what)))
On April 23, I was arrested at the post by a police officer, the officer demanded to take a urine test, I was given 20 minutes, for physiological reasons it was not possible to take it during this period of time, then the police captain put me against a tree and said he would open fire to kill if I took a step aside. I think this is an abuse of official authority.
I heard a lot about the "work" of the local traffic police, as a result, I drove clearly according to the signs and never overtook anyone before this post! As a result, THREE oncoming exits and FOUR speeding were announced… Do not try to go to Abkhazia! Let them enjoy their independence!
You only need to go there by tank…
The traffic cops there are not very kind to visitors who try to breed out of the blue without having with them no photo no video evidence just in words that they exceeded the speed limit we will take away the rights fine
Local traffic police officers tried to raise money for money. It turns out that I was driving 62 km/h in a place with a 30 km/h limit. The question "where did I exceed?" was answered: "30 km ago." The trouble was that we drove away from the last place, which was about 15 km from the post. They also tried to accuse me of crossing a solid line. I admit that I did it. But only in the place where it is not visible because it was almost completely erased. They promised to show me photo and video recordings for all violations. But for some reason they didn't show it. They promised to pick up the driver's license and even opened the protocol for filling out. I insisted that if I was guilty, I was ready to answer according to the law. We were surprised that I did not want to decide on the place and soon they let me go home with all the documents in my hands.
The guys are very positive and as peaceful as possible. And most importantly, do not exceed the speed limit +20 does not apply to restrictions in Abkhazia. If you turn off the negative, then there will be no difficulties in the dialogue) have a good trip🙌🏾
Local traffic police officers don't care how the locals drive, they look at how you drive, they immediately tore off your belt everywhere, didn't write a fine, says the boxes in your pocket..
They are simply beautiful! I don't know why they're there at all. Maybe if there had been tighter controls, there would have been a traffic jam. And so they stand... and let them stand.
They extort bribes. Do not rush to make hasty decisions - take pictures of these "employees" on camera, Google the Traffic regulations of the Republic of Armenia, demand an official ID. And they will beg you to leave already
There are no pluses, only minuses. It seems that in addition to how to breed Russians for money, they do not do anything. In my case, they did not succeed. In this connection, they were very upset, because there was a mirror recorder in my car. Remember. The registrar can save you, even if it will be once in a lifetime.
At this post, following an excursion to Mount Athos, I was asked to get out of the minibus alone to check the documents that I did not have. They took my word for it and we went on. What it was, no one understood...
A traffic police checkpoint on the Sukhumi highway between Bzyb and Gudauta in Abkhazia. High-speed video and visual monitoring is conducted at the post. The cameras operate at a cutoff of +30km/h. Both directions to/from Gudauta are monitored. Be careful. The post is stationary. Vehicle inspection is possible. The inspectors are always polite and friendly, hospitable, like most Abkhazians. But, this does not negate the disregard for the rules of the road.
On the highway from Sukhumi, we paid twice for insurance, the guard clearly explained to us where and how to make insurance. We wished you a happy journey. Everything is fine, please make insurance as soon as you enter the Abkhazian territory. Have a nice trip.
We rented a car. As a result, they stopped and began to scare that their rules were prescribed (according to the traffic police book, a traffic policeman knocked), that violation of the law on speeding threatens with deprivation of rights and a fine of 6000 that you pick them up at a bank branch located in Sukhum. As a result, they gave 2000 to the hand. I didn 't agree to anything less .
Coruntia thrives only in this way. And we also saw a picture, we stopped one car, the traffic cop was talking to the driver. He did not agree that he had violated the law. So there were 5 traffic cops running to help a friend. And they began to arrest the driver.
The result, of course, we fucked up ourselves, but it was night and we were tired and didn't want to figure it out. Don't repeat other people's mistakes. Good luck to everyone!
I don't understand how you can evaluate a traffic police post. Well, they stand, they work, what else is needed to understand the work of traffic police? We drove past to the boarding house and back. They didn't stop me

Everything they write here is true. We drove to New Athos in a rented car. They stopped me. Stories began about the fact that allegedly I was driving at a speed of 63 km / h near some school, and the limit was 30. To the question where is the video recording, the answer is right now they will send it. He allegedly begins to draw up a protocol, says I'm withdrawing my rights, I'll pay a fine of 3000 in any bank. I say that I will not sign anything without fixing it. In principle, when we were taken away from the rental car, we were warned that video recording should be required for all claims. And if anything, call them, they will talk. That's why we weren't afraid. The result is that this employee throws the rights on the table with the words- okay, rest, I forgive you for the first time🤣😭🤣they shouted from this farewell to tears 😂the main thing is to remain calm, try to follow the signs and demand a photo or video recording
I rented a car. The Gaians tried to cheat on a bribe. Allegedly speeding and license revocation. I sent it from the forest, saying that I would send the driver's license at the place of residence. The interest immediately disappeared. The documents were returned, wishing a good trip.
There is nothing to divide in Abkhazia. The police are "hunting" tourists. I was stopped three times and they just drove up to see "how I was doing." No one asked for money directly, but it seems that they really want to find a reason for a bribe. Yes, do not buy car insurance, you will be bred when entering Abkhazia.
They tried to get us divorced for money, allegedly for crossing a solid line. And it's nothing that local drivers don't even suspect about it. In front of us, a local subcompact was driving very slowly (40 km /h), at a permitted speed of 90 km / h, driving brazenly in the middle of the lane, and a very wide lane was climbing, two large cars fit. We politely asked to move forward and drove through, we were stopped at the post office, but no one expected a woman driving... They asked the passenger to get out and asked the question: "did the driver violate the markings?" Well, in general, we asked to show the camera fixation - this is missing and after 15 minutes they reluctantly gave us the documents and said: "no need to drive over our heads." And then we realized: the driver of the subcompact is a fake... Be careful, it is not recommended to drive like local drivers!
Traffic police officers offered to draw up a protocol for a non-existent violation : (, cars with Moscow license plates. I asked them to provide photo and video fixation materials, after that they gave me the documents and wished me a safe journey.
It's good to pass, everything is culturally friendly. And they welcome you on the other side. You pass quickly, it's not far to go, the passage is adequately equipped.
Abkhazian DPS, even those "fruits". They are bred for alcohol intoxication (the smell, the blood lasts for a day, etc., etc.) there is no device, they rely on chance. Don't get fooled, raise the tone a little on them and make it clear that you're not lol. They let me go right away.
