Road safety will become voluntary

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed making technical inspection of private passenger cars not mandatory, but voluntary. It is proposed to make corresponding changes to the federal laws “On Technical Inspection” and “On Road Safety”.

The head of the State Traffic Inspectorate Mikhail Chernikov , said that responsible motorists are interested in the serviceability of their vehicle, and therefore must undergo inspection themselves. The ability to do this at a convenient time and in comfortable conditions will reduce the number of accidents due to malfunctions.

Chernikov admitted that today many drivers pay for a technical inspection service only in order to seamlessly issue a compulsory motor liability insurance policy, while the actual diagnosis of the car is not carried out. Therefore, there is not much point in this procedure. Previously, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already taken the initiative to separate the MTPL policy and the diagnostic card. The bill is being considered by the State Duma, and if it is adopted, obtaining a compulsory insurance policy will not depend on a technical inspection at all.

How to tell children about safety without scaring them. The psychologist explains

The modern world lives in a more dynamic mode, especially the Internet speeds up this mode, so dangers arise faster than before. Of course, overly frightening stories about dire consequences can traumatize a child, because children are highly impressionable.

Recently, in a large shopping center, I saw a boy of about three years old who was crying heart-rendingly throughout the entire store - it turned out that he was lost. When I already took him by the hand and was about to lead him to security to announce the loss over the loudspeaker, it turned out that the boy’s parents simply hid behind a column. Thus, they wanted to teach him a lesson so that he would be “less capricious.” In fact, this situation was a serious psychological trauma for the baby, which could subsequently have a negative impact on the development and psyche of the child.

Parents, remember a few rules:

Do not leave your child alone in an unknown environment.

Don’t threaten with the phrases “Now that aunt will take you away if you don’t behave well.” Aunts in such phrases can change to the police, an evil monster, a bandit, but the meaning remains the same - the child is experiencing deep psychological trauma.

Don’t pretend that you are leaving, much less actually leaving your child. “I’ll go home now, and you stay here. That’s it, I’m leaving!” - This is an extremely undesirable behavior strategy.

In safety stories , avoid being overly gory. The child’s imagination will do its job and create its own horror film; there is no need to provoke it.

First of all, follow the safety rules that you tell your child about. Do not cross the road at a red light, do not jump into a departing subway car with your child, and do not climb into sockets with your bare hands.

Talking about safety should take place in the form of normal conversation, for example, while you are walking down the street. “See, little red man? So you need to stand. And now it’s green, the cars have stopped, we can cross the road.” The leading activity of preschool children is role-playing play. It is through play that children learn about the world, try on different roles and play out different life events. This game is a great way to tell your child about safety and to play out these situations with him.

It is always worth remembering that the beginning of safety is attentiveness. Teach your child to look around, to notice strange and alarming people, not to enter into dialogues with them, not to enter a building with unfamiliar adults, and not to ride in the elevator with them. Such rules will not cause a child to feel dangerous or afraid, because there is nothing frightening in simple attentiveness. Play mindfulness games with your child outside - it's both entertaining and useful.

There is a huge amount of children's literature devoted to safety issues. You can read these books with your children; many of them are made in an interactive format: in them you need to solve problems or draw something.

There are even audiobooks that contain children's stories that talk about safety . We all remember “Don’t drink the water, you’ll become a baby goat,” but this commandment also teaches the child the basics of safety.

The main thing is to always remember that the child reads the emotional state of the parent. If you calmly explain to your child how he can and cannot behave, he will not be afraid and will not be injured. If you yourself are in psycho-emotional tension, you are alarmed, scared, then the child, of course, considers these experiences and projects them onto himself. Such situations should be avoided.
