The Presidium of the Armed Forces of the USSR in 1980 issued another decree. According to him, on October 1, a new holiday was established for the Russians. From this day, professional (and not only) motorists were able to officially celebrate their achievements and successes.
When celebrate the day of road workers
First of all, it is a celebration of specialists, managers and workers whose professional activities are directly related to machines. These are not only those who are driving, but also those who help them in everything. Often, transport, freight and passenger companies arrange corporate holidays on this day. However, ordinary citizens who have a “four-wheeled friend” are not averse to celebrating this day.
For many years now, the Day of Road Transport Workers has been celebrated annually in October. The last Sunday of this fall month is officially recognized as a holiday.
Who is this motorist
This profession is not so many years. The first car appeared only a little over a century ago. Meanwhile, the profession of a motorist is very common today. Every day, a huge number of people all over the world make a lot of efforts to make motorized wheel mechanisms work for the benefit of all mankind. It was they who earned the right to celebrate the Day of Road Transport Workers once a year.
How can we imagine today's reality without cars? Of course not. It is these “iron horses” that transport goods, goods and products. Thanks to them, we can easily and quickly travel long distances. No industry can do without cars.
Those who celebrate Motor Day in Russia are well aware that road transport has played a significant role in our history. During WWII, it was thanks to the machines that it was possible to quickly deliver ammunition to the point, transport the wounded to the hospital, and not only.
How it all started
In 1896, the Russian car was first introduced. Meanwhile, the serial car was released only in 1909. From this moment began the history of domestic automobile transport.
The pioneer in the automotive industry is the Russo-Baltic Plant, which produces Russo-Balt cars. This transport was considered very reliable, and this quality allowed him to repeatedly win the rally and long-distance runs.
The legendary “Victory” car known to everyone is the pride of the Soviet automobile industry. For the first time, the Russians saw her in 1946.
However, for a long time there was no such holiday as the Day of Road Transport Workers. Motorist Day, as we wrote above, was officially established only in 1980. After that, in 1996, the President of the Russian Federation issued a decree according to which this holiday was renamed. Now it was called - Day of workers of automobile transport and road facilities. However, the date of the celebration was not changed. Thus, state authorities wanted to combine two complementary industries. But the idea failed, and in 2000 it was decided that motorists would celebrate their professional holiday as before - on the last Sunday of October, and road workers a little earlier - on the third.
Where to celebrate
This holiday continues to be celebrated by Belarusians and Ukrainians. However, in the aforementioned states it is still united with the Day of the Road Worker. Only Motorist Day in Russia is celebrated separately. In other former Union republics, this holiday was either postponed to other dates, or canceled altogether.
Since transport companies most often arrange corporate parties on this day for all employees and their wives, we want to offer you a contest and an interesting scene for the holiday.
Competition "Woman in the Garage"
Host: Many women are unhappy that their husbands often disappear in the garage. But after all, lovely ladies can get carried away with cars, and then celebrate the Day of Road Transport Workers with us. And to prove this to you, I want to invite our ladies to participate in the competition.
For this, two women's teams are formed. They are provided with boxes in which medium-sized car parts lie. It can be mirrors, thermostats, bearings, etc. Each team should quickly identify the part, name it and say why it is needed.
You can also arrange a quiz with road signs.
Scene "Legally Blonde"
Host: Our ladies, of course, can figure out men's business. But when we try to figure out their female gadgets, then everything becomes much more complicated. Imagine the situation - the inspector of the traffic police and the lovely violator of the traffic rules.
A solid traffic cop with a tummy and a bright blonde in high heels appears on the scene.
Policeman (G): Violate, then citizen? What happened? Why fly at a speed of 170?
Blonde (B): Well, understand, my beloved sandals ...
G: Did I really ask you about sandals? Your rights, please!
B (rummaging in a huge handbag): Something I can’t find! Help me please.
G (turns over everything in the bag for a long time and clutches his head): How many have you got here?
B: Varnish No. 46, 24, 57, 14, lipstick No. 317, 208, 65, 71 (etc. - the list goes on).
G: Yeah! What is there only!
B: How is that what is not? Varnish No. 43, 27, 54, 12 and lipstick No. 312, 210, 63 (again we continue the list).
G: Hmm ... what is this?
B: Well, for the face it is a tonic.
G: Really? And with alcohol it pulls! But do not you use? Breathe! (girl is breathing)
G (another jar appears from the bag): So! And this is hair spray, right?
B: How resourceful you are! And also a good remedy against rapists.
G (takes the nunchucks out of his bag): What the hell ?!
B: Well, also from rapists ... magic wands.
G: And where is the resolution?
B: I don’t have that. Bori has it. But these sticks were not useful to him, so he decided to give them to me.
G (taking out condoms): Girl! Well, it should be in the first-aid kit!
B: But this is also from rapists!
G (looks into the bag with surprised eyes): And this is what ?!
B (giggles): It's for the rapists to get scared.
G: You are a dangerous lady, as I see it. Well, what is this (eyelash tweezers appear from a huge bag).
B: Oh, this is such a cool thing. The brand itself. She can curl eyelashes. By the way, I can do it for you too! (tries to take the accessory, but the policeman doesn’t give it away and takes out the Moment glue packed in a plastic bag from the bag)
G: And what is this? Do you use it all the same ?!
B: Yes, what do you say that. I glued the heel on my favorite sandals. By the way, that’s exactly why my foot stuck to the gas pedal!
At this moment, the girl's phone starts ringing, and she answers.
B: Borenka. Well, don’t swear, my little bear. Your guys just detained me here (the inspector of the traffic police changes his face, his knees tremble finely). To the telephone? Well, of course, now I’ll hand over the tube.
G (into the phone): I wish you good health! Yes sir! Yes! Sure!
B (picks up the phone and pats the traffic cop on the shoulder): Relax. Everything is already free! (with difficulty lifting her leg off the floor) Exactly! Well, how did I not think before! It is necessary to glue the second heel to the pedal to brake too on time!
