In the Lipetsk region over the weekend detained 16 drunk drivers

Over the weekend in the Lipetsk region, auto inspectors identified 16 drivers who got behind the wheel in a state of intoxication or refused a medical examination. This was reported in the regional traffic police.

Violators were found during preventive raids. The department recalled that alcohol reduces the reaction rate and prevents the correct assessment of the road situation.

The head of the regional traffic police Andrey Panasovich urged drivers not to risk their lives and the safety of others for the sake of a trip after drinking alcohol.

Residents of the region who noticed a drunk driver behind the wheel are asked to report it to the police by phone 02 or 112. This information can help prevent an accident.
