Drivers should pay attention to the technical condition of the car, especially the braking system, the serviceability of the wheels and their compliance with the season. Start moving slowly at a low speed before you hit the road. Drive at a speed that ensures safety near the school, on the bridge, intersections and turns of streets. While driving, it is necessary to keep the distance between vehicles further than usual. Also, limit travel on a long road by car as much as possible.
