Re-launch of safe driving training in Anchupan cartodrome

The Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD), in cooperation with the Rēzekne municipality and the Latvian vehicle insurers' office (LTAB), offers free safe winter travel advice to every driver in Rezekne. Place of activity: Anchupan cartodrome.
The participants will be informed of the basic principles of safe driving, the understanding of the length of the braking path, the factors affecting it in winter conditions, the removal of obstacles and how to avoid collision when the braking path is insufficient. An explanation will also be given to the interested parties about the condition of the car tyres and their choice according to the day-to-day driving style.

Conditions: Any driver with a vehicle fitted with a winter tyre with a valid technical inspection and compulsory civil insurance may participate in the activity. It is preferable to arrive at convenient, ride-in shoes and warm clothes.
Important! In the event that a driver does not apply for a pre-recorded lesson, the request to provide information to the above phone so that it can be operationally offered to other travellers.
In order to increase safety on the road, as from 1 November 2016, the theoretical and practical training programmes of future drivers have introduced a stricter framework for driving training in adverse conditions such as slippery. However, safe driving advice will also be useful for drivers with seniority, as they have often failed to achieve safe driving skills in winter conditions.
In the two years of safe driving training, Anchupan Kartodroma had already taken part in around 100 drivers. MR Keiš also emphasized the successful cooperation that has developed with the municipality of Rēzekne in the Road Safety Directorate, and the secondary school students of Rezekne are also participating in these training, who, with the financial support of the municipality, acquire category B driving skills in the school.
