Six out of ten deaths of pedestrians are dying on the roads at night and eight in poor visibility. The sad statistics led logically to supplement the Law on Road Traffic mandatory reflective elements. Police officers or pedestrian controlled but as shown exploration rights, while fines instead of fatty distributed reflective tape.
Penalty for lack of security elements may, according to a spokesman for city police officers in Hradec Kralove Eve reach up to 2000 crowns. But the penalties do not fall so far, confirms her colleague from police Hanna. “Rather violators explain how important it is to be seen, and on that occasion they also reflective tape giving away,” said Legal.
“It is now essential especially prevention and education, police in the Piles region pedestrians also transmit reflective elements,” confirmed a police spokeswoman Jana. For example, seniors Monday morning at one of the busy intersections in the city center received shopping bags in reflective colors. “During the events giving away pedestrians reflective tape, which is quite interested,” said spokesman Petra.
In the past six months, we handed out maybe eight hundred reflective tapes on sleeve. His colleague from the district added that people even go on a police station and reflective tape on request. “Unfortunately, we do not have much that we can give out to everyone on request free of charge. We do it just for preventive action. ”
Contrast tape instead of a fine not comes without pedestrians and reflective material elements. “Strider evening check and inform them that they should have reflective elements. They are also taken from BESIP and we give them, “he told Provo City police.
Even Brno officers widely distributed in preventive actions called a reflective tape on the sleeve. “People go to them and to our staff, in the past six months we’ve handed out maybe eight hundred,” said city police spokesman Patel.
Police officers explain to people that the reflective elements are also good to wear in, not only in the dimly lit streets, but everywhere, especially in poor visibility.
Unique plus
Qualified assessment of the impact of the new law is still early, but questioned the police officers and it unanimously welcomed. And again, it’s not just sanctions.
“Personally, I believe that it is very good that the issue of the visibility of pedestrians speaking, it has a preventive effect. I notice that people and daytime wear reflective tape on bags, so awareness is pretty, “said Stray.
The Jiminy by local police number of pedestrians with reflective elements on clothing definitely increased. “It is not enough, for example, Walker had in his hand a flashlight. Therefore, the most reflective tape or vest, “added Legal.
