The traffic police will hold a Unified Road Safety Day in Vitebsk and the Vitebsk region
A unified traffic safety day will be held by the traffic police in Vitebsk and the Vitebsk region on January 25. The event is due to the fact that during winter driving, increased safety measures must be taken.
— Choose your speed according to the road conditions, increase the distance and side interval, avoid sudden maneuvers, — said **Alexander Kazyuchits, head of the agitation and propaganda department of the traffic police department of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the regional executive committee**. — Fasten your seat belts, transport children under 12 years of age in special restraint devices, and be especially careful when passing pedestrian crossings.
Traffic police strongly recommend that pedestrians cross the road only in designated areas, making sure that drivers have stopped, and at night, they should make themselves visible with retroreflective elements.
"Administrative liability is provided for traffic violations," — Alexander Konstantinovich reported. — Thus, for violating the rules of passing a pedestrian crossing, a motorist faces a fine from 1 to 5 basic units, for non-use of a child seat — up to 4 basic units.
The State Automobile Inspectorate reminds: administrative liability is provided for traffic violations by drivers and pedestrians. Violating the rules of passing a pedestrian crossing, a driver faces a fine of 1 to 5 basic units. For this violation of the rules, repeat offenses within a year are provided for.
For the non-use of a child restraint system in cases where it is mandatory, a fine of up to 4 basic units is provided. In case of a repeated violation within a year, a fine of 2 to 8 basic units is provided.
For violating the Traffic Regulations regarding the use of retroreflective elements, a pedestrian is subject to administrative liability in the form of a warning or a fine, which amounts to 1 to 3
of basic units. The same actions committed by a drunk pedestrian entail a fine of 3 to 5 basic units.
