Reflective elements are still underestimated

Since the beginning of August, the police have been trapped in five tragic accidents, and a pedestrian died after a car accident. They become less noticeable early in the morning or in the evening. Although pedestrians have had to wear reflective vests since last year, they are not even used to it.

Morning fog and early black. In this season, just to increase the visibility reduction time, similar accidents will increase. In recent days, there are only two in southern Moravia. On August 15th and August 9th. For the first time, a pedestrian who was seriously injured in the hospital died and was killed in the second.

This year, after a guard in August, a total of five pedestrians died in the Czech Republic, with 20 people throughout the year and 20 in 2015. “Pedestrians should be aware that when they go to work early in the morning, it is still dark and must wear reflective elements,” said high school spokeswoman Alice Messier.

The police quickly set off early and pedestrians warned them that they were in danger. “When I am very light, I will go, but not now, this is true,” said a policeman who immediately equipped with reflective tapes.

Wearing reflective elements, when it comes to pedestrian villages, is not only in the dark, but when dawn or vice versa, it is dark, there is no sidewalk or street lighting on the road, it is already mandatory for more than a year. “The reflective material has been beautiful to see two hundred meters, the driver was able to give it and respond at ninety speed” SCUBA’s Paul Ciskei explained.

Pedestrians must carry reflective elements such as sleeves or belts to reduce the visibility of the garment. This regulation applies to people moving on the roadside outside the non-illuminated area or area of the community. Part of the amendment to the Road Traffic Act should primarily increase the safety of pedestrians.

If the pedestrian is not in the dark, the fog or haze on the road is marked by a reflective element, and a fine of up to two thousand dollars may be imposed in the program. In administrative proceedings, penalties range from 1,500 to 2,500 kroner.
