Not really comparable, but related still: > In 2005 Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili fired "the entire traffic police force" of the Georgian National Police due to corruption, numbering around 30,000 police officers. A new force was built around new recruits. The United States State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law-Enforcement Affairs has provided assistance to the training efforts. Haven't heard any reports of traffic mayhem in those months. Afaik after that traffic police went from post-Soviet bandits and bureaucrats to polite workforce and their DMV started handling routine procedures in ten minutes instead of ‘file your request, go home and wait for a response’.
