Another emphasis was fair decision-making when considering the circumstances of the accident.

Any risk must be justified. It is also important to be ready to use weapons if necessary. Take care - that's the main thing. And in the rest, I’m sure 150 percent, we will restore order!

- It is necessary not only to organize the activities of the traffic police outfits, but also to strengthen the work of RSMOB operators. Under control it is necessary to take pedestrian crossings, main intersections, exits from large settlements. React quickly! Use mixed patrols using civilian vehicles. Priorities remain the identification of drunk drivers and rightsless persons, other gross violations.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 15 people died on the roads of Belarus last week. In this regard, it is necessary to carefully analyze the causes and conditions that contribute to the commission of an accident, and develop measures to stabilize the situation.
