Tonight the Duty Officer of the Chosen Headquarters received information about a man who goes outside built-up areas without obligatory reflective elements. The officials urgently went to the indicated road between Recd and Sick, where they barely noticed the man walking.
We still encounter situations when pedestrian after dark outside the built-up area does not wear reflective clothing. During dozens of meetings with children and adults, uniform from the Chosen Aviator indicates the necessity of wearing reflective elements outside built-up areas, as well as the advantages of wearing them also in built-up areas, which significantly improves the visibility of the pedestrian, and thus its safety. It was similar today. The police officers held a conversation with a man and handed him a reflective vest.
We would like to remind you that from August 31, 2014, all pedestrians who move around the dusk along the way outside the built-up area must have a reflection visible to the drivers. The lack of reflective tapes is threatened by a fine.
Therefore, we appeal to wearing clothing with reflective fabric after dark. Even one small reflective element can increase the distance from which the driver will notice the pedestrian several times.
Let’s take care of the passive safety of our own and loved ones wearing reflective elements.
Reflectors really save lives !!!
