"With the onset of warm weather, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds began to take to the road. Unfortunately, drivers of this category quite often violate the rules of the road. Some drive without the appropriate category for driving a motorcycle, exceed the speed limit, are influenced by other drivers and play motorcycle racing They don't use motorcycle gear and, worst of all, they drive drunk," said Anatoly Vasiliev, HEAD of the public security police department of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee.

The Regional State Traffic Inspectorate strengthens control also on weekends and weekends. A special event "Filter" to identify and suppress gross violations of traffic rules was held in Mozyr, Zhitkovichi, Petrikov regions and Gomel.

In just the last three days of last week in these areas, more than 130 traffic violations were stopped, including 9 drivers without the right to drive. 4 violations of motorcyclists were revealed.

Road guards also carried out intensive testing of the roads of the region on the morning of April 18. "After the weekend, there are unscrupulous drivers who know that they need to get behind the wheel in the morning, but still drink ALCOHOL . The results once again confirmed this. Only on Monday morning, more than 260 traffic violations were stopped in the entire region, of which 3 drivers were detained in a state of intoxication and 8 - not having the right to drive," the UGAI specified.

As Anatoly Vasiliev emphasized, a drunk driver is a potential criminal. "After all, he deliberately endangers not only his own life, but also the lives of those around him. We do not get tired of repeating the need for strict compliance with the requirements of traffic rules. Do not forget that driving is allowed only when sober and with a driver's license. To drive a motorcycle, moped or a scooter must be of the appropriate category, and motorcycle equipment is mandatory," he concluded.
