Rolling on the (Russian) Roads: GIBDD's Crackdown via Raids in May 2025
brace yourself, drivers! here's a lowdown on the GIBDD's upcoming crackdown on the roads across Russia. grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and brace yourself, cause the cops are coming for you!
the GIBDD,., (State Traffic Safety Inspectorate) will be on a mission, hungrily scouring the highways and byways of Russia for traffic violators, and they ain't holding back.
on their hitlist? drunk drivers. prepare yourself for the coppers to roll up on may 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 30th, and 31st.
but that ain't all. the GIBDD's clampdown won't be limited to the crackdown on drunk driving, oh no, cause they're gonna take aim at seat belt usage and child seats too. so buckle up, buttercup, cause may 5th to 12th and may 19th to 23rd are gonna be seat belt season!
if you thought that was it, you're mistaken, cause the GIBDD ain't done yet. they're also gonna take a look at "zebra crossings," starting on may 5th and running through may 11th.
the inspection squad isn't just gonna be watching for car violators, though. they're also gonna be sweeping for problems with tinting from may 5th to 12th, as well as on the 15th, 16th, 29th, and 30th.
and if that ain't enough for you, the GIBDD's gonna be keeping an eye on drivers who decide to cruise on the wrong side of the road on may 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th, and 27th.
for you taxi drivers out there, the GIBDD's gonna be conducting two waves of checks, from may 22nd to 24th and from may 26th to 31st. and if you're a bus driver, brace yourself for increased scrutiny from may 19th to 23rd.
motorcyclists and e-scooter drivers, take note: you'll be under the microscope on may 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th, and 31st.
commercial vehicles, here's a heads-up: the GIBDD's gonna be keeping a close eye on you until may 15th.
and finally, let's not forget about those pesky vehicles with non-standard lighting equipment, cause the GIBDD is still on the hunt for those, and they'll be conducting raids at night to detect vehicles that don't meet the standards. so don't be caught with your lights off!
so there you have it, folks! buckle up, keep your eyes on the (Russian) road, and try to stay off the wrong side, cause the GIBDD's coming to town, and they ain't messing around!

In addition to the crackdown on drunk driving and seat belts, GIBDD will also be scrutinizing 'zebra crossings' from May 5th to 11th, as part of their expanded policy-and-legislation initiative.
Motorcyclists and e-scooter drivers should be aware of increased monitoring at specific crossings throughout May, particularly on the 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th, and 31st.
Commercial vehicles and those with non-standard lighting equipment will not be exempt from the scrutiny, with raids scheduled until May 15th and at night to ensure compliance with standards.
The ongoing initiative encompasses a broader aspect of politics and general news, emphasizing road safety and the GIBDD's commitment to maintain order and discipline on Russia's roads.
