Orel car inspectors reminded children-cyclists rules of driving in autumn

In Orel, traffic police officers conducted preventive conversations with young cyclists. With the onset of autumn, when daylight is rapidly shrinking and roads become wet and slippery, the safety of children on the streets requires special attention.

The police spoke with the guys on the streets of the city and explained to them the key traffic rules. According to the press service of the State Traffic Inspectorate, the main emphasis was made on the fact that when crossing the road on a pedestrian crossing, the cyclist must hurry and drive nearby. In this case, drivers have time to notice the person and react. Children were also reminded that you should ride in parks, squares and on special sites, without leaving the roadway, and before the start you must check the brakes and steering wheel.

Separately, auto inspectors told about the effectiveness of protective helmets and reflectors, which help to become more noticeable in cloudy weather and at dusk. At the end of the meetings, the police handed the young Oryol residents reflective key fobs and memorable booklets with road safety rules.
