The State Traffic Inspectorate reminded drivers and pedestrians how to drive safely on the roads this fall. Shorter daylight hours, rain, snow and first frost make autumn one of the most difficult times for drivers. The State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia noted that wet asphalt, fallen leaves and low temperatures require updating the usual driving style. "In autumn, drivers, especially beginners, often do not take into account the deterioration of tire grip and continue to drive in the usual summer mode. On a wet road, the braking distance increases, and the driver may not have time to stop in front of a braking car or a pedestrian," said the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The department recommends choosing a safe speed while taking into account the weather conditions, preventing sudden movements, minimizing lane changes and overtaking and increasing the distance to the vehicle in front. It is important to check the condition of the tires, tread depth, operation of headlights, wipers and heated windows. You should be especially vigilant near pedestrian crossings, intersections and public transport stations. Also, it is important for pedestrians to adapt to autumn conditions. The State Traffic Inspectorate calls for the use of reflective elements at night: with them a pedestrian is visible to the driver from a distance of 150-200 meters, without them. from 25-50 meters. You must cross the road in the designated places and at the traffic lights that allow it, after making sure it is safe. Stay up-to-date on events everywhere: OK VK max.
