The traffic police of the Vitebsk region recommends drivers to take into account weather and road conditions

 

The weather in autumn is quite changeable and during this period of the year you can expect anything. Rain, fog and early twilight have a significant impact on road safety.

In such conditions, drivers should be more careful and attentive. It is necessary to choose a more restrained driving style and a safe driving speed, take into account the condition of the roadway and visibility, maintain a safe distance and lateral interval, and avoid unnecessary lane changes, advances and overtaking.

In addition, it’s worth remembering now about step braking on slippery roads.

Pedestrians should not risk their own safety. It is necessary to cross the road only in designated places, making sure that all cars have time to stop. It is necessary to ensure your visibility using reflective elements.
