Over the past period of 2021, 13 road traffic accidents involving minors occurred in the Vitebsk region. In May last year, 8 traffic accidents involving children were registered.
During the campaign days, vehicles must travel with dipped headlights on during daylight hours (clause 166.9 of the Traffic Regulations). Special attention will be paid to drivers observing the speed limit, rules for passing pedestrian crossings, and safe child transportation.
The State Automobile Inspectorate urges drivers to be extremely careful when driving near children's institutions, passing unregulated pedestrian crossings, transport stops, and in courtyards.
In accordance with Part 3 of Article 18.13 of the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Offences, violation of the aforementioned clause of the Traffic Regulations entails administrative liability in the form of a warning or a fine of up to 3 base units.
Dear parents! Do not forget to remind your children of the simple rules of safe behaviour on streets and roads. Ensure that compliance with the Traffic Regulations becomes a habit and a norm of behaviour on the street. And do not violate the Traffic Regulations yourselves, for the sake of your children's safety. Remember that children under 12 years of age must be in a child restraint system suitable for their weight and build. The only exception is when the child's height exceeds 150 cm. A restraint system and a seat belt (which all passengers must use) will save lives by more than 80% in the event of a traffic accident.
Protect children and remember that they are always looking at you. They are not afraid, they do not know danger. They simply imitate. Be a worthy example for your child.
