Police: Drivers in Minsk ignore No Car Day

Drivers in the Belarusian capital of Minsk have ignored No Car Day, Zhanna Traino, a spokeswoman for Minsk Traffic Police Department said in statement.
The situation on roads in the city on September 22 (No Car Day) was as much the same as on ordinary days, she said.
