Day of the State Automobile Inspectorate - holiday features

Day GAI today is a professional holiday for road service employees, who monitor the preservation of order on highways, as well as for observance of motorists' traffic rules. The role of traffic police in Russian settlements is difficult to overestimate, as the number of cars that travel to domestic highways increases every year, traffic on the roads becomes as intense as possible, and therefore the work of inspectors remains necessary. Thanks to representatives of this profession in recent years, the number of victims in road accidents on domestic roads has slightly decreased, and the number of "drunken accidents" is constantly decreasing. However, the accident rate, unfortunately, still remains quite high, so the traffic police almost always have enough work.

History : The Day of the traffic police is now celebrated on July 3, since this memorable date back in 1936 the first State Automobile Inspection was established in the USSR. The traffic police officers were subordinate to the police department of the NKVD of the USSR, and the work of the employees was still very simple in those years. So, in 1936, a small number of cars moved along the streets of Soviet cities, and pedestrians, owners of wagons and cabs by the rules had to give way to cars. Drivers of cars, in turn, were forced to pass forward buses and special-purpose vehicles.

Only in the sixties, after the accession of the USSR to the International Convention, new rules came into force, and the work of the traffic police officers was added. In 1998, the organization was renamed the State Road Safety Inspectorate , so the professional holiday of "traffic cops" is today often called "Day of the traffic police", however in 2002 the traffic police departments decided to return the old name.

The role of the State Automobile Inspection : At present, the Day of the State Automobile Inspection emphasizes the vital role that the employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate carry out. In addition to the imposition of fines and other penalties, the "traffic cops" carry out a number of important events concerning traffic safety issues for all its participants. Thanks to the leadership of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in the domestic media, the most important information is disseminated, allowing to form a positive image of law-abiding pedestrians and drivers. "GAI officers" also take part in various public actions, visit educational institutions and introduce students to traffic rules, as well as safe behavior on the road.

The authorities pay great attention to raising the level of professionalism of traffic police inspectors, developing joint exercises of "traffic cops" and various "rescue services", introducing innovative technical means for fixing information and violations. On the roads modern posts of traffic police are being built, so that "traffic cops" can work in the most comfortable conditions for themselves.

Celebration : The day of the traffic police most inspectors are forced to celebrate at the workplace, maintaining safety on the roads, going to various accidents and stopping the malicious violators, whose actions lead to emergencies on highways. In the morning, before you need to step onto the post, "traffic cops" listen to congratulations on the day of the traffic police from their immediate superiors, and then they are accepted for carrying out daily duties. Due to the peculiarities of the service, inspectors can not raise glasses with hot drinks, congratulating their colleagues and colleagues on a professional holiday, and also get together in the building of the State traffic police. Only after the end of duty inspectors are allowed to celebrate a holiday in a close circle somewhere in a restaurant or at home, together with family members and other close people.
