87% are the completely correct drivers on the road! |
|
From 17th to 21th of June, 2013 “Open Youth” and the "Traffic Police" department, Chief Directorate "National Police" of Ministry of Interior, together with the regional "Traffic Police" departments of the Police directorates in Varna, Shumen, Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo and Pleven, held the second edition fo the joint campaign under the motto "Drive responsibly and courteously".
A total of 79 policemen worked together with the “Open Youth” volunteers
for the implementation of the initiative. 783 vehicles were checked and
103 violations of the traffic regulations or 13% were recorded.
The
campaign consisted of a series of specialized police operations under
the “broader control” method in combination with positive intervention
of "Open Youth" representatives towards encouraging responsible driving
and reduction of road aggression at the beginning of the active summer
season. Despite the registered violations, most of the drivers were
precise and accepted with a smile the campaign positive message,
together with an antistress-ball and the 10 commandments for tolerant
driving, which they received from the young people. The last appealed
the drivers to be more responsible, smiling and tolerant on the road so
that they can reach safely their final destination.
The campaign
"Drive responsibly and courteously" is part of the international project
AVENUE, supported by DG "Mobility and Transport" of the European
Commission and of the overall program "Drive responsibly" of "Open
Youth".
