Pedestrians and obligatory use of reflective materials have been targeted by the Moravian-Hessian police in recent days. Many sinners have been stuck in their networks.
“Outside of villages and under reduced visibility, police have checked a total of 399 pedestrians. Twenty-one of them did not have mandatory reflective tapes, “said Daniel Pavlov from the Moravian-Hessian police.
Pedestrian checks also took place in municipalities. Here the police found 255 misdemeanors, mostly red and crossing the designated places. Most of the offenses were solved by the police on the spot by imposing a fine.
“The three cases where the offenders did not agree with the amount of the fine were notified to the relevant municipal authorities,” Pavlov added, saying that policemen did not only pay fines to pedestrians. “They also had reflective vests and recommendations to use them in the village to improve their safety in low visibility,” Pavlov explained.
During the event police officers also checked the drivers. The most common misdemeanor was the unsuitable technical condition of the vehicles (68), and thirty-eight people did not use seat belts. Eleven drivers stood behind the wheel after taking drugs, fourteen had alcohol. As four of them breathed over one pro-mile, they would be responsible for a criminal offense under the influence of the addictive substance.
Total police officers checked nearly 4500 vehicles and 800 pedestrians during the event. They found 664 offenses, 626 of which were settled on the spot by imposing fines in excess of 200 thousand crowns, reported to the relevant local authorities about thirty-eight cases.
