- Only for 10 days, due to the fault of drunk drivers and persons without the right to drive, 12 road accidents occurred in the republic, in which nine people died and 15 were injured. Thus, a flagrant fact of gross violation of traffic rules was recorded in Borisov. A drunk woman with two ppm of alcohol, on her way to work, committed a road accident involving three cars. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case.

Traffic police officers are aimed at timely suppression of the facts of drunken and lawless driving, including with the participation of minors. Special events “Filter” and “Web” are planned. Round-the-clock monitoring will be carried out using the Republican public security monitoring system. In addition, the traffic police will increase the number of mobile sensors for monitoring traffic violations.
