Over the past day, 332 road accidents have occurred on Russian roads, in which 23 people were killed and 406 injured. 15 of the dead were passengers and drivers. This was reported to Izvestia on August 27 by the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

The State Traffic Inspectorate called on citizens who have not been trained in driving schools and have not received a driver's license in accordance with the established procedure, or who have been deprived of their license, to refrain from trying to get behind the wheel and drive onto public roads. By reckless actions, they put not only personal, but also other people's lives and health in real danger.

Parents were reminded of the need to curb 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, prohibiting the management of cars and motor vehicles without the appropriate rights and skills. The lack of control over children's behavior and leisure during the summer school holidays, especially in the evening, often leads to injuries or deaths of young road users.

The parents' attention was drawn to the administrative responsibility in the amount of 30 thousand rubles for providing the opportunity to drive motor vehicles for children who do not have a driver's license of the appropriate category. Parents should also remember that the operation of motorcycles of the "sports equipment" category on public roads — outside specialized trails for classes and competitions in motorsport — is strictly prohibited, the department noted.

"Be sure to use retroreflective elements on the clothes of young pedestrians and cyclists to improve their visibility to vehicle drivers in the evening. Conduct an explanatory conversation with children about the rules of safe travel on personal mobility equipment, bicycles and scooters, paying special attention to the inadmissibility of minors under the age of 14 traveling on public roads," said Police Colonel Anton Belan, Deputy head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of child traffic injuries of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
