  Hot weather is forecast for the country today, with air temperatures ranging from +26°C to +32°C. Short-term rains are expected over most of the territory, with thunderstorms in some areas, and wind gusts of up to 15-20 m/s.

  In this regard, the State Automobile Inspectorate recommends that drivers spend less time behind the wheel and monitor their well-being. People who are weather-sensitive and suffer from cardiovascular diseases should refrain from travelling, and if this is not possible, take necessary medications with them. Drink plenty of water, use the air conditioner in your car if available, and at the first signs of malaise or drowsiness, stop off the road in the shade, wash your face with cool water, and rest. _

  Do not forget that during rain, the tyre-road friction coefficient significantly deteriorates, which can lead to an increase in braking distance and loss of control. In precipitation, it is necessary to reduce speed and maintain distance, turn on low beam headlights or parking lights. Do not drive onto unpaved shoulders. You should also ensure that everyone in the car is wearing a seatbelt, and children under 12 years of age are in special restraint systems.

  Park your vehicle in the shade and under no circumstances leave children, the elderly, or animals in a locked car, even for a short time!

  Police officers are oriented to provide assistance to citizens.
