Road Safety Boost: How Technology Helps Protect Young Drivers

As the world marks Youth Day on June 27, a growing concern is the safety of young drivers on the roads. According to experts, over 90% of accidents involving inexperienced drivers are caused by speeding and overestimating their abilities. However, modern photo and video recording systems are proving to be a reliable means of preventing and protecting young drivers.

These systems not only capture speeding violations but also other critical offenses, such as failure to wear a seatbelt, using a phone while driving, or failing to yield to pedestrians. By implementing such systems, young drivers are becoming more disciplined, says Alexander Dombrovsky, deputy general director of UrbanTech.

The Azimut complex, a multifunctional system, is forming a habit of following traffic rules among novice drivers. Statistics show that after the introduction of photo and video recording systems, the number of violations decreases sixfold, and the number of fatal accidents is reduced by half.

The presence of automatic control also increases the likelihood of detecting offenses. Experts emphasize that a combination of quality education, regular practice, and systematic control is necessary to reduce accident rates among young drivers. 16 million drivers having less than two years of experience, the number of accidents caused by them remains a concern.

4% decrease in accidents caused by inexperienced drivers in 2025.
