For a third year, a road worker's day is marked in the municipality of Rezekne
On October 30, Rēzekne municipality council gathered in the municipality of Rezekne, and the administrative driver of the administration to jointly celebrate their professional festivals – the day of road transport employees. It turns out that the day-to-day tradition of drivers in Latvia was started in the thirties of the last century, when every October last Sunday road transport workers came together to celebrate their professional performance.
In Rēzekne municipality, the tradition of hauling the drivers started three years ago and was suggested by road transport employees during their song and dance festivals, saying that if the singers and dancers have their own festival, they also deserve their own. Holidays are intentionally organised on Friday Friday of pupils, when drivers do not have to bring students, so that the route of the commensurate kilometres is shorter and takes a little more time to mark the festival of their trade.
On holidays, thank you for the work for the drivers, the Chairman OF the Rēzekne District Council, Monvīds Švarcs. “The driver's work is not easy because the driver, like the musician, is only when something“ doesn't sound ”– when the bus breaks or does not come in time – only then remember the driver. It is a pleasure that there are drivers in our county who don't notice, but not because they are not, but because you, drivers, ride in time, ride a bus that is in good technical order. Thank you for driving not only from point A to point B, but also to point C and sometimes even to point Z, that is, until all passengers have been delivered home. '
This year, the drivers also had questions to check the driver's knowledge and learn more about the history of the road transport world. The questions were not from light, for example, in which the first bus was built (in 1801, it was built by Richard Trevitick) or when the first driving licence was issued (14 August 1893 in France). It was better for drivers to deal with questions about the construction of road vehicles, for example, every driver could tell what the numbers on the bus or car tyres were denoting.
The President OF the Council, AT THE Monvīds Švarcs driver's day event, remembered one of the events of that year, when THE residents of Rikavas and Viļānu were anxious, as the route was changed and a Viļānu bus would be travelled on their roads in the future Rikavas. There were more than 30 parish people in the meeting, and eventually it turned out that people did not care what bus and time they were driving, the main thing to be led by the faithful parish driver Arsenius, so THAT Monvīds Švarcs said to all the drivers, “let each of them have such passengers who are waiting for you and appreciate your work.”
