What counts as road hooliganism

According to the law, road hooliganism is defined as the deliberate creation of obstacles to the movement of other vehicles. Unjustified drifting — sliding a car while maintaining its angle and (or) speed of movement — also falls under such actions.

Abrupt lane changes and demonstrative actions

Road hooliganism also covers an unjustified abrupt change of lane by a driver three or more times in a row. In addition, liability is established for demonstratively performing actions that threaten the safe movement of road users.
