For 8 months, every tenth accident in the Arctic occurred due to the fault of a drunk driver

For eight months, every tenth accident occurred due to a drunk driver in the Murmansk region. According to the Ministry of information policy of the region, from January to August there were 300 accidents, where 27 people died.

Another cause of accidents is exit to the oncoming lane, as well as non-compliance with traffic rules. At a meeting of the Commission on road safety, the Governor of the Murmansk region Andrey Chibis told how during his trip around the region he saw a driver who turned around through the oncoming lane on a tinted car. After his arrest, he had no documents or rights.
