Due to the increase in traffic flow on intercity roads on Saturdays and Sundays, the Main State Traffic Police Department recommends drivers to pay special attention to safety measures before their journey. It is important to check the technical condition of the vehicle before setting off. The proper functioning of the braking system, steering control, tire condition, and lighting devices plays a key role in ensuring a safe journey.
Modern.az reports that the Main State Traffic Police Department has issued information on this matter.
“During movement, choosing the speed limit appropriate to road conditions, maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, and performing overtaking maneuvers only in permitted areas helps prevent road traffic accidents. For long distances, it is necessary to take a short break when feeling tired.
Avoiding distracting factors throughout the journey, especially the use of mobile phones, and using a seat belt is the primary duty of every driver,” the statement says.
