The State Traffic Inspectorate drew parents' attention to the need to ensure maximum safety of children during spring break, a period when schoolchildren who are resting from classes spend a lot of free time on the street, and as a result, they are more likely to get into car accidents. Lack of control over the behavior and leisure of children, especially in the evening, often leads to injuries or even death of young road users.

Parents were urged to strictly monitor and prevent, rather than encourage, attempts by children and adolescents without experience, confident driving skills and solid knowledge of traffic regulations to use means of individual mobility, and even more so to drive on public roads.

"When driving in a populated area or near pedestrian crossings, drivers need to be extremely careful and reduce their speed as much as possible in order to react to a possible sudden change in the road situation. With the onset of the spring period, motorists and drivers of urban public transport should be especially careful when passing intersections, since the behavior of child pedestrians, as well as underage drivers using bicycles, scooters and personal mobility equipment, is often unpredictable due to age and characteristics of child or adolescent psychology," the head of the Department of road Safety propaganda told Izvestia. traffic and prevention of children's road traffic injuries of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Police Colonel Sergey Hrantskevich.
