To ensure road safety on Christmas and until January 8, as part of the "Drunk and unlicensed drivers have no place on the road!" preventive campaign, the State Automobile Inspectorate is paying increased attention to the timely suppression of drunk driving and driving without a license. Other traffic violations by drivers and pedestrians, including in areas where festive events are held, are also not overlooked.
Control over compliance with the rules for the safe transportation of young passengers has been strengthened. Along with the holidays, the winter holidays for schoolchildren are ending. It is very important for parents to remind young pedestrians about the rules of safe behavior on the road. Drivers should increase their vigilance when passing pedestrian crossings and in courtyards.The road situation continues to be complicated by snow and blizzards, with icy conditions and snowdrifts on the roads. Observe increased safety measures: choose the safest speed, distance, and interval, do not make dangerous maneuvers, and be sure to fasten your seat belts.
Pedestrians in bad weather should be especially careful: do not cover your field of vision with a hood, stay away from the roadway, look around when crossing the road, do not make sudden movements, be predictable, and make sure that vehicles have managed to stop. In the dark, mark yourself with reflective elements.
