This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of administrative legislation in Kazakhstan and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, with a focus on administrative liability, particularly for driving under the influence of alcohol. The study aims to highlight the similarities and differences in the administrative rules of the CIS countries and how these rules have evolved since their common history under Soviet law. The authors use a range of scientific research methods, including comparative analysis, synthesis and deduction, to examine the legal framework for administrative offences in these countries. The research focuses on the differences in the legal treatment of driving under the influence in different CIS countries, comparing sanctions such as fines, administrative detention, and suspension of driving privileges. Kazakhstan’s Administrative Code is singled out for its extensive description of aggravating circumstances and stricter penalties. The paper identifies areas for improvement in Kazakhstan’s administrative legislation, drawing in particular on the practices of Belarus and Armenia in dealing with drunk-driving. The authors argue that modernising Kazakhstan’s administrative law and moving away from Soviet-era provisions is essential to better regulate social relations and maintain road safety. The analysis concludes by advocating a shift towards the incorporation of European administrative law principles to improve the efficiency and fairness of administrative liability frameworks in Kazakhstan and the wider CIS region.
