“Take off the hood and put away the phone”: in Pskov reminded the rules of survival on the roads

On the eve of the World Day of Remembrance of Traffic Victims, a large-scale preventive action was held on the streets of Pskov. Pedestrians and drivers came not only employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate, but also representatives of the 28th Military Automobile Inspectorate and the All-Russian Society of Motorists.

The police handed out thematic memos and reminded us of a simple truth: road safety depends on our daily decisions.

Driver's note:

Speed and distance are the base. Do not forget about the seat belt and, most importantly, do not stick in the smartphone. The biggest taboo is alcohol driving. Even a glass of wine can cost you your life and someone else’s fate.

Pedestrian note:

Even if you’re on a zebra, don’t lose your guard – make sure the car actually stops. Remove the hood and pull out the headphones: they make you deaf to the approaching danger. In the dark and cloudy weather, be sure to wear reflectors, and crossing the road in the wrong place is Russian roulette, in which you always lose.

Remember, the road does not forgive mistakes. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
