“A car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation,” says the well-known wisdom from the authors of the Golden Calf, I. Ilf and E. Petrov. The writers looked into the water, and what 30 years ago was a sign of wealth and exclusivity, now really has become a necessity.
We are, of course, talking about personal vehicles. According to statistics, in 2013 the number of cars in the Russian Federation amounted to more than 50 million units. And this means that about the same amount, or even more, a person has the right to be called the proud word "motorist". Of course, most of this transport is concentrated in large cities, but this in no way affects the prevalence of such a holiday as Car Day. Moreover, residents of megacities are not always aware of it.When is Motorist Day officially celebrated in Russia?

And together with Russia, Ukraine and Belarus also celebrated it. True, this day unites not only road workers, car lovers, and those who are engaged in car maintenance, but also road workers. But in the Russian Federation everything is strict on this score. And other categories have their own, separate holidays.From the foregoing, we already learned when Motorist Day. The holiday of workers of the road department is celebrated in our country a week earlier, that is, on the third Sunday of October. This date has a narrower specialization. But Motorist Day is a universal holiday.
Who should be congratulated on this date in the first place?
If you have relatives and friends among people who have made their way home their second home, those who spend their working days driving, then first of all the last Sunday of October is their date. If you yourself can’t imagine your life without your beloved “iron horse”, then this holiday is yours too, as well as all other car owners.
And drivers of public transport, of course, should be congratulated on this day too. There is another category of people who celebrate their professional holiday, when Motorist’s Day takes over - these are mechanics and locksmiths, those people without whom your iron friend will not work like new.Little conclusion
