Previously, the accident occurred due to the discrepancy between the speed and specific traffic conditions, as well as the lack of driving skills of the deceased teenager. He was not issued a driver's license, and he rode a motorcycle without a helmet or protective gear.

The State Traffic Inspectorate once again 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.

"Remember that the lack of control over the behavior and leisure of children, especially in the evening, often leads to injuries or deaths of young road users. In addition, we draw the attention of parents to the administrative responsibility for allowing children who do not have a driver's license of the appropriate category to drive motor vehicles.", —
