In connection with the start of the new academic year, from August 25 to September 05, 2023, the State Automobile Inspectorate of the Public Security Militia of the Glubokoye District Department of Internal Affairs will conduct a special set of measures "Attention Children!" on the territory of the city of Glubokoye and the Glubokoye district, aimed at preventing child road traffic injuries, instilling safe road behavior skills in young road users, and drawing the attention of drivers, parents, and educators to the problem of child injuries. On August 25, 2023, a Unified Road Safety Day will be held on the territory of the Republic of Belarus under the slogan "Attention Parents – Holidays Are Over!". The purpose of this event is to prevent child road traffic injuries before the start of the academic year.

The main goal of these events is the prevention and prophylaxis of child road traffic injuries. The preventive campaign is designed to draw public attention to the problem of ensuring children's safety on the road and to increase the level of responsibility of parents and drivers.

During the campaign, vehicles must travel with their low beam headlights on during daylight hours (clause 166.9 of the Traffic Regulations). Special attention will be paid to drivers' compliance with speed limits, rules for passing pedestrian crossings, and safe transportation of children.

The State Automobile Inspectorate urges drivers to be extremely attentive when driving near educational institutions, passing unregulated pedestrian crossings, transport stops, and in courtyards.

In accordance with part 3 of Article 18.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus, violation of the aforementioned clause of the Traffic Regulations entails administrative responsibility in the form of a warning or a fine of up to 3 basic units.

Dear parents! Do not forget to remind your children of the simple rules of safe behavior on streets and roads. Ensure that they comply with the Traffic Regulations.

movements have become a habit and a norm of behavior on the street. And do not violate traffic rules yourself, for the safety of your children. Remember that children under 12 years of age must be in a child restraint system appropriate for their weight and build. The only exception is when the child's height exceeds 150 cm. A restraint system and a seat belt (which all passengers must be fastened with) will save lives by more than 80% in the event of an accident.

Take care of your children and remember that they are always watching you. They are not afraid, they do not know danger. They simply imitate. Be a worthy example for your child.
