County Police Inspectorate supports the movement in the open air and wishes the cyclists and motorcyclists pleasant, safe travel!
Bicycle Safety Recommendations:
Before changing the direction of travel, especially to the left or to the overrun, make sure that there is no vehicle approaching – front and rear!
Move as close as possible to the right edge of the road, and when you move in a group, only one column in the column!
Do not ride a bicycle under the influence of alcoholic beverages!
It is advisable to wear an approved helmet and a reflective vest!
To run on the public road, the bicycle must be properly equipped (effective braking device, an audible warning device, white or yellow light in front, red backlight and at least one reflective material of the same color)!
When changing direction, even if you have to cross priority, make sure the other road users understand your intention!
Safety recommendations for motorcyclists:
Keep eye contact – does not assume that others see you. Always try to have visual contact with the drivers that might be intersecting your trajectory.
Anticipate the intentions of your road mates – even when drivers, cyclists and pedestrians see you are approaching, they often mistakenly appreciate the distance or speed. Do not rely solely on their good reaction.
Increase attention to turns and intersections – the most common type of motorcycle crash is generated by drivers who do not ensure that left turns are turned or that the lane changes.
Be prepared for hazardous road conditions – wet road, liquid leakage, sand, gravel, tramway, pits and other road surface danger that can severely affect your adhesion by causing accidents.
Use an approved helmet – which meets current safety standards. Avoid buying a used helmet, you may have suffered an accident, and repair may hide structural flaws.
Wear safety clothing for motorcyclists – only this can provide good protection during an accident and protects you from the weather. Modular “layered” equipment is recommended so you can adapt it to the changing weather conditions.
Be visible – wear bright, reflective clothing. Add additional reflective material or wear a reflective vest. Always keep the headlamp lit and run to the position where drivers can easily see you in the rear view mirror (2/3 of the belt width). Avoid dead angles of other vehicles.
