Residents of Turkmenistan ordered to repaint cars and their parts white

Since November 24, Turkmenistan has banned not only black cars, but also white ones if they have black parts. Such cars will not be able to pass inspection at the country's traffic police. According to media reports, police began fining such cars in early November - before the ban was introduced. Writes about this Turkmen News.

According to unconfirmed reports, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov personally ordered the fight against black radiator grilles, bumper parts and other body elements. Responsibility for the implementation of this order was assigned to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Mammetkhan Chakyev.

The police do not accept any excuses from the drivers: even if the part cannot be repainted, the officers still do not mark a successful technical inspection.

For several years now, cars of black and other dark colors have been tacitly banned in Turkmenistan. Such a ban is not spelled out in any documents, this issue was not raised in the official media. The reasons for this decision are not mentioned.

Some put forward the version that the president simply loves white. Many buildings in Ashgabat are faced with white marble (in 2013 it was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the “whitest marble city”). And before Berdymukhamedov's trip to Balkanabat on November 25, buildings in the city were hastily painted white - despite the rain.

This precaution came to the minds of the country's authorities several years ago. In 2018, drivers were prohibited from driving cars of different colors - only white. And dark cars were forcibly sent to the impound lot. The cars were returned to the owners, but only on the condition that they agreed to repaint their car white. True, one more of the light colors was allowed, writes Gazeta.Ru.

Also, the President of Turkmenistan banned the import of black cars into the country back in 2015. And the authorities explained this to people by the fact that white brings good luck, so it is worth buying white cars.

The police demand to drive the cars of blue, red, green and other colors to the parking lot, without giving any explanation. The "culprits" are either prohibited from using the car or asked to repaint it.

Such requirements of the authorities went into the hands of car services, which doubled the prices for repainting: from $ 500 to $ 1000.

Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov is known for his passion for cars. In November 2017, the head of state did not deny himself the pleasure of personally inspecting sports BMWs purchased for the National Motor Sports Center owned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On one of them, of course white, he rolled along the track himself. Since the center opened in 2013, Berdymukhamedov has taken part in racing competitions on several occasions.

"Admiring the skill of the head of state in high-speed driving of sports cars, many boys dream of learning to drive a racing car just as skillfully," the country's state news agency said.

The authorities of Turkmenistan impose other requirements on motorists that are not prescribed in the laws. For example, since 2018, an unofficial ban on driving for women has been introduced in the country: they are not given new rights, and the old ones are not extended.
