Paternal law: the court commuted the punishment for the culprit of the fatal accident

The relationship with the victim was recognized as a mitigating circumstance.

So, in Crimea, on 8 km of the Yevpatoria —Mirny regional highway, a 40-year-old crossover driver, while overtaking in a prohibited place, collided with a passing cargo Gazelle, after which the passenger car left the road and overturned. As a result of the accident, two passengers of the crossover were killed, including an eight-year-old girl who was in the back passenger seat wearing a seat belt. Two more female passengers of this car (born in 2010 and 2023) were injured and, after receiving medical care, were sent for outpatient treatment. At the time of the incident, the eldest of them was in the front passenger seat, and the youngest was in a child restraint in the back. Both used seat belts.

In the city of Leninsk-Kuznetsk, Kemerovo region, a 56-year-old crossover driver at an unregulated intersection, when turning left, did not provide an advantage in traffic and collided with a motorcycle moving in the opposite direction, driven by a 13-year-old schoolboy without a motorcycle helmet. The teenager died, and his 16-year-old passenger was hospitalized with injuries. Like the deceased young motorcyclist, the second teenager also did not use a motorcycle helmet when driving a vehicle.

Riding into the unknown: the court replaced the driver who left the scene of the accident with a fine.

The Russian Armed Forces explained the nuances of behavior after the accident

On the eve of the long holiday weekend, the State Traffic Inspectorate called on parents to strictly monitor and stop attempts by children and teenagers to get behind the wheel on their own, as well as to exclude for them the possibility of accessing the keys of cars, mopeds and motorcycles. Lack of control over children's behavior and leisure activities, especially in the evening and at night, often leads to injuries or deaths of young road users.
The department drew the attention of parents to the administrative responsibility for providing the opportunity to drive motor vehicles for children who do not have a driver's license of the appropriate category.

The State Traffic Inspectorate also recommended that motorists be more careful on the roads of towns and cities in the summer, when school-age children spend a lot of time outdoors. Special care should be taken when driving through courtyards, crossing intersections, and approaching pedestrian crossings. Driver's discipline is especially necessary if there are child passengers in the cabin, who should be transported in compliance with all applicable safety requirements.

"During trips of any length with young passengers, avoid risky driving, dangerous maneuvers, and choose a reasonable speed limit depending on the time of day, the condition of the roadway, and weather conditions. Always remember that the preservation of the life and health of underage passengers depends entirely on adult road users," Police Colonel Anton Belan, deputy head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of Child traffic Injuries at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, told Izvestia.
