CroatiaIn Slovenia, a traffic accident caused a temporary closure of a highway heading towards Maribor on Saturday morning. While the traffic was halted, some travelers took advantage of the situation by allowing children to stand on the highway and even pushing baby carriages along the road. These actions were captured in photos shared by a reader with 24ur.com, showing children standing between cars and one child sitting on the ground. Emergency services had recently passed through the area moments before these incidents occurred. According to the Road Traffic Act, exiting a vehicle during a traffic stop or accident is illegal unless in emergencies, with fines of 150 euros for violations. The rescue organization 'Rescue Belt' has previously warned against such reckless behavior, emphasizing that proper spacing of vehicles not involved in accidents allows emergency vehicles faster access to the scene, potentially increasing survival chances by up to 40 percent. Such irresponsible actions have been documented in past incidents and are considered shameful, dangerous, and strictly prohibited.
