Remember that not only your life and health depend on your driving skills, driving experience, well—being, and law-abiding driving behavior, but also the lives and health of other road users," said 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.
