People who go out in the dark or fog, that is to say, in low visibility, as pedestrians on the road between two villages, will face a fine of up to two and a half thousand crowns if they do not have reflective tapes on their clothes. It plans an amendment to the Act on Road Traffic, which was approved by the government.
“I’m not a great supporter of repressive intervention. We should explain to pedestrians that this is for their safety, but our legislators have persuaded me that there is a need to sanction. “Transport Minister Dan Wok said the YO movement.
Sanctions in the law, which will now be judged by MPs, are proposed from 1,500 to 2,500 crowns. “I hope it will be as little as possible that people will also understand that they need to be seen when they go by night through an unlit road between two villages where the driver has no chance of seeing them. It is very dangerous. “the Transport Minister explained.
His office originally wanted it to be valid even within the municipalities, but the government’s legislative council was exempt from the proposed amendment.
Do you agree with the obligation to have reflective vests while walking on the road in the dark or fog?
The law will also be a new duty to clean the vehicle from ice. “The situation when the truck gets out and the water freezes during the pause will start and a huge piece of ice falls on the car after it is very dangerous. Or when someone is in the mountains for a week, he does not want to get his car up and he thinks it’s going down when he goes, which puts the other road users at risk. These are the things that deserve a solution. “he said,” What will the law do? ”
The draft also gives the traffic police the power to detain the driver of the vehicle registration certificate due to the poor technical state of the car.
