Speed kills people. The bad thing is that many people don't keep the speed limit, and others don't react. In the current changes to the Road Traffic Act, speed is also underestimated.

This was stated in the program "Denyat na zavod" on NOWA NEWS by the former Traffic Police Chief Eng. Alexi Kesyakov, who commented on the topic of the war on the roads.

"Reducing speed on highways alone will not solve the problems with the war on the roads. We need to look at things together. On highways, serious accidents mostly happen because of failure to maintain a safe distance. Every control has an effect, but it's not everything. Fines Aren't Enough to Improve. The law should pay very serious attention to training new drivers. For me, it is mandatory for a parent to accompany young drivers. Everyone should learn that when driving on the roads we must follow the rules. Mobile phones are a big disaster," Kesyakov was categorical.
