On Friday and next weekend, November 21-23, the State Traffic Inspectorate will conduct massive and continuous checks of drivers, special attention will be paid to preventing drunk driving. The upcoming raids were announced by the regional departments of the department.
Traffic police will carry out preventive measures on roads in the Ivanovo, Kirov, Tver, Ulyanovsk, Samara, Penza regions, the Komi Republic and other regions of the country.
"We kindly ask citizens who see that the car is being driven by a driver in an inadequate condition to report this to the police. This call can save someone's life. Employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate will definitely take all necessary measures to respond to such reports," Police Colonel Anton Belan, deputy head of the propaganda department of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Russian Interior Ministry, told Izvestia.
He stressed that driving while intoxicated is extremely dangerous and unacceptable in itself. In conditions of icy conditions and insufficient visibility, driving drunk does not leave even the slightest chance of a successful trip and endangers the lives of surrounding road users, Belan noted.
The State Traffic Inspectorate reminds that driving under the influence of alcohol, as well as refusing a medical examination, entails the deprivation of a driver's license for a period of one and a half to two years and a heavy fine. In addition, in some cases, the driver faces criminal liability for these acts.
