Many people notice that weekends and holidays bring higher ride demand, while personal plans—vacations, work travel, and spontaneous trips—make car use even more central. The New Year often changes routines too: some choose to drive taxis, others plan long road trips to scenic spots, and many simply unwind at home on the couch.

Behind the Wheel in Viber is inviting people to sign up.

Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes

Without tires, public safety cannot be maintained, and timely medical access can be hindered for those in need.

Behind the Wheel, in collaboration with the Popular Front, has launched a fundraiser to supply tires for vehicles used by the People’s Police and the operational services of the LPR and DPR. This effort supports ambulances, units from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and vehicles delivering humanitarian aid to residents, as well as military logistics equipment. Contributions can be made on the collection page.
