If I could turn back time...

The Road Safety Agency (AVP) and police launched a national preventive campaign titled 'Safe Without Alcohol' between November 2 and 11, coinciding with the Martinmas period. The initiative emphasizes strict checks on drivers' psychophysical condition and raises awareness about the irreversible consequences of driving under the influence. Central to this year's messaging is the personal testimony of a 42-year-old man who caused a fatal accident while intoxicated, resulting in one pedestrian death and another severe injury. He is currently serving a prison sentence and urges others to make responsible choices by avoiding alcohol before driving. Statistics indicate that while drunk drivers account for less than 10% of all traffic accidents, they are involved in nearly 28% of fatal crashes. In 2025, 25 people died in alcohol-related incidents, marking a 47% increase compared to 2024.
