It is worth noting that today a meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission was held in the government chaired by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, where the issue of ensuring road safety was considered.
Minister of Internal Affairs Yerzhan Sadenov, naming the main causes of road accidents, emphasized that drivers' discipline is poor.
"Poor driving discipline, the state of road infrastructure, especially in winter, and the technical condition of vehicles are the main causes of road accidents. Drivers' personal discipline is poor; 90% of accidents occur due to their fault. Since the beginning of the year, more than 3 million people have violated traffic rules. In addition, 5,500 drivers were detained while intoxicated," the government press service reported.
