In order to prevent road accidents in winter conditions and promote the use of winter tires, a Single Road Safety Day called “Change your style to winter!” will be held on November 28, 2024 in the Uzda district.

The State Traffic Inspectorate of the Uzda district warns drivers in advance that with the onset of unfavorable weather conditions, they need to drive more carefully and install winter tires on their wheels without waiting for December 1.

The State Traffic Inspectorate reminds!

According to paragraph 207-1 of the Traffic Regulations, according to which, when participating in road traffic from December 1 to March 1, cars with a technically permissible total mass of up to 3.5 tons inclusive, passenger cars and passenger and cargo vehicles with a technically permissible total mass of over 3.5 tons, as well as buses with a technically permissible total mass of up to 5 tons must be equipped with winter tires. Winter tires are installed on all wheels of the vehicle. When buying, pay attention to the tire markings. Tires must be marked with a sign in the form of a mountain peak with three peaks and a snowflake inside it, or the signs “M + S”, “M & S”, “MS”, “MS” or “AІІ seasons”. In this case, the residual tread depth must be at least 4 mm. For violation of these requirements, administrative liability is provided in the form of a fine of up to 1 basic unit. Repeated violation during the year entails liability from 2 to 5 basic units.

The State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Uzda District strongly recommends that, without waiting for December, you equip your vehicles with winter tires. Of course, it would be wrong to completely rely on the fact that only winter tires will prevent an accident; an important condition for driver safety will also be the correct choice of speed, taking into account road and weather conditions, a safe distance, pre-thought-out actions and utmost attention while driving!
