People still do not wear reflective vest for the visibility at night, or they are not positioned properly and are not visible in all directions. The obligation to wear reflexive elements outside of the village has been in force since February. The police have already switched from penalties to fines. The offense for this offense is up to 2000 crowns.
Unmarked and poorly visible pedestrians make up a significant proportion of people killed on roads in October. The tenth month of the year, according to the statistics so far, has been the worst month for the last six years. On October, he demanded 56 dead people on the roads. Of this, the police record 13 killed pedestrians, the visibility in these accidents played a very important role, said the traffic police director Tomas. The current number killed on domestic roads is three fatalities higher than the total number in the same period last year.
The most risky period for pedestrians is, according to Larch, just before us, the most pedestrian accident statistically accounted for November. Reasons are several. The most important role, however, is the changing weather. Drivers, for example, do not realize that the road grip changes significantly during the day may be local frosts in the morning, or there may be a poorly visible traffic sign that may be partly covered with snow or mud.
Pedestrians can avoid any accidents, among other things, by seeing them in time. According to the head of the Bezique Department, Martin Reflective, reflective elements are suitable to wear especially on the lower half of the body. The lights of the car light up, the pedestrian’s feet first. This extends the time the driver has to respond to when he or she sees a shining reflective tape or other object.
Together with the advent of autumn, Larch had ceased to tolerate the police when pedestrians out of the village were not visibly visually impaired. The fine for this offense is up to 2000 crowns. For example, people mistakenly think that reflective elements must only be in the dark. But it is not accurate, because the signs must be visible in the dark even at dawn or after sunset.
In the mist, it is also appropriate to have a light source, such as an electric flashlight, the Farrar said. It is not mandatory, it’s just a safety recommendation just like wearing hi vis clothing that is noticeably better visible than dark colors.
