On Sunday, around 21:30, in the Vitebsk district, a 44-year-old Volkswagen driver hit a moose that suddenly ran onto the roadway. The driver's 12-year-old son, who was in the front seat, died at the scene from his injuries.
107 drunk drivers were apprehended. 236 instances of driving without a license were stopped. Over 1.1 thousand drivers were fined for speeding. More than 1.5 thousand pedestrians and cyclists were held accountable for various traffic rule violations, of which about 200 were intoxicated, and over 300 were not equipped with retroreflective elements in the dark.
With the reduction of daylight hours, the State Automobile Inspectorate recommends that drivers be extremely attentive behind the wheel. Choose a safe speed, taking into account weather conditions and visibility, especially when passing dangerous sections near forest areas.
It is important for pedestrians to take care of their safety, crossing the roadway exclusively at designated places, ensuring in advance that drivers have noticed and are yielding to you. In the dark, use retroreflective elements, and ensure that children and elderly relatives are also equipped with them.
‼️ Please note: the strictest measures of responsibility will be applied for gross violations of traffic rules.
