The Moscow State Traffic Inspectorate has announced a major enforcement period aimed at curbing drunk driving. The operation is scheduled to begin on December 29 at 20:00 and will continue through January 8 at 20:00 the following year, as reported within official channels.
During this time, capital traffic police will intensify patrols and enforcement efforts to identify and deter instances of driving under the influence. The goal is clear: reduce alcohol-related incidents on city streets and protect all road users from preventable harm.
Authorities remind all motorists and pedestrians to stay vigilant and to alert the police if they observe drivers who appear intoxicated or vehicles showing obvious signs of impairment. Prompt reporting can help prevent tragedies and save lives on busy urban roads.
Officials again warn drivers about the severe consequences of drunk driving. They emphasize that operating a vehicle while under the influence remains a serious risk to everyone on the road and can lead to fatal, irreversible outcomes. The message is firm: do not get behind the wheel if there is any doubt about one’s ability to drive safely.
Recent messaging also highlights the ongoing requirement for valid automobile insurance. Penalties and enforcement measures are in place to ensure drivers comply with compulsory insurance rules, with enforcement cameras playing a role in monitoring compliance and safety on the streets of the capital.
