During the summer period, the conflict between drivers and cyclists intensifies: each is convinced of their own rightness, and often the result is a road traffic accident.
The video shows an accident that occurred recently in Novopolotsk.
A "Lada" driver, exiting from an adjacent territory, failed to yield to an 11-year-old cyclist who was crossing the roadway on a bicycle path and hit him. The child sustained bodily injuries and was hospitalised. An investigation into the road traffic accident is underway.
The State Automobile Inspectorate reminds drivers that when exiting residential and pedestrian zones, and adjacent territories, they must yield to vehicles moving on the road, as well as pedestrians, cyclists, and riders whose path of movement they are crossing. Dear owners of two-wheeled vehicles! The State Automobile Inspectorate asks you to be extremely attentive and cautious. Always assess the road situation and take all necessary actions to ensure your safety.
