17.02.2017

Head of Department, Police Colonel Vagif Asadov said that frosty, snow and unstable weather increases the chance of skidding and accidents on the roads: "Taking this aspect into account, the traffic police urge drivers to give preference to the use of public transport." 

Those who drive private cars should use seasonal tires and cars fully serviceable from a technical standpoint.

Choosing the speed you should take into account the weather conditions and the state of the roads, you should be particularly attentive on the ascending and descending roads, have to use the braking system as little as possible.

Setting car in motion, putting on or lessening speed, you must use the gearbox as well as the dipped-beam headlamps; regardless of weather conditions, state license plates must be clean and legible, the visibility of lighting unit should be ensured.

Taking into account the chance of skidding on the road, pedestrians should not walk on the roadway, they should go by the way intended for them, on the sidewalks, underground and above ground crosswalks, parents should keep an eye on young children.

Drivers and pedestrians regardless of the weather conditions should strictly comply with the requirements of the Law "On traffic". That way they provide their own security.
