The State Traffic Inspectorate will check the safety of transporting minor passengers in buses to educational institutions. After the end of school holidays, protecting young passengers is at the center of the State Traffic Inspectorate's attention. From November 9 to 13, a series of preventive measures will take place across the country aimed at the safe transportation of student buses to educational institutions. DPS inspectors will check the technical condition of the vehicles and the presence of seat belts. Driver qualification is also a priority, strict adherence to traffic regulations by them, and the health condition before going on the line. At the traffic police stations, it was emphasized that responsibility for the life and health of minors lies with the responsible persons of the organizations and the drivers. Road guards also reminded parents that children under 12 years of age and 150 cm tall must be transported in a certified restraint device (autobus seat, car seat, or booster), appropriate to their weight and build.
