“I think these numbers reflect reality and have been decreasing lately. If at the beginning there was a situation where those numbers were really impressive, then to this day we think that they really are not great, people are aware, understand, listen to calls and follow the quarantine requirements, “said S. Gagas .
However, according to the head of the Vilnius County Police Chief’s Police Station, on the second day of Easter there is an increase in the flow of cars, which is expected to be even higher in the second half of the day.
“We are seeing an increase in car traffic compared to the previous days. The number of those cars will be even higher in the second half of the day,” he predicted.
Lying less and less?
The head of the Vilnius County Police Chief’s Police Station is convinced that such a number of inverted cars is not really large.
In Vilnius County, around 100 cars were delivered on Easter Sunday and a total of more than 5,300 cars were inspected, which is why S. Gagas described a number of travelers as relatively small.
At the same time, a police spokesperson noted that people are becoming increasingly open and are less likely to lie in an attempt to enter another municipality illegally.
“No, people no longer try to lie, if they do, it is a one-time event. But anyway, they realize they have committed an infraction, they turn around in good faith and go back to their original place, to the home, the side they came from, they are not allowed to continue their journey.
Those who maliciously try to argue, try to prove their truth, then the police evaluate their reasons in principle, verify, and if we find that a violation has been committed, the assessment is adequate, “warned S. Gagas.
Other irregularities were detected during inspections
Police officers checked the sobriety of the drivers over the holiday weekend along with the reason for the destination.
“Of course, several people were identified who were driving vehicles in a state of intense drunkenness, more than a mile. Others had a slight drunkenness. Several more drivers did not have a driving license, that is, they did not have the right to drive.
Other infractions – uninsured vehicles, without technical inspection and other infractions ”, the police representative named the infractions detected.
By guaranteeing restrictions on movement between municipalities, the police are intensifying controls on people traveling by car and public transport during the long Easter weekend.
To stop the spread of COVID-19, the government lifted the ban on circulation between the country’s municipalities from March 27 to April 6, with the exception of ring municipalities. It is allowed to travel to another municipality only for work reasons or for those who have properties there.
