Mandatory wearing of reflective elements?

Reflective clothing, belts, and bags were distributed yesterday by police officers in several places in Brno.

Reflective clothing, belts, and bags were distributed yesterday by police officers in several places in Brno. Pedestrians and cyclists have been instructed to change the law to protect pedestrians on the road. Police will continue in preventive actions throughout the region.

The police will focus on prevention rather than penalizing pedestrians in the first weeks of the amendment to the Road Traffic Act. “We are planning dozens of events in the region where we want to inform pedestrians about a new duty and give them items in a reflective design,” said police spokesman Pavel Svab.

The first reflective tapes, bags, and vests were distributed by police in Brno on Thursday. They stopped and informed about thirty people. “Few of them knew about the change of the law,” Swab noted. At the same time, he recommended wearing well-visible clothing accessories not only outside the towns but also in them.

Also in schools

The police action was also appreciated by Dagmar Šebelová, who received a reflective tape. “When a man in black goes on gray asphalt, he is hardly visible in the evening,” she said.

Not only police officers but also schools distribute information about the amendment in South Moravia. For example, in elementary school in Židlochovice in Brno, teachers are explaining new duties to pupils these days. “Many parents have not registered the change of the law at all,” said the director Jana Králová. She added that they had acquired visible elements for school events that would lend to pupils.

that changes the amendment to the pedestrian law

Pedestrians must wear reflective elements outside the village when walking on the shoulder or roadside in poor visibility

If they fail to comply with the law, they face a fine of up to two thousand crowns on the spot or a fine of fifteen hundred to two and a half thousand crowns in administrative proceedings

A pedestrian does not need to wear a reflective vest, it is enough to use accessories such as straps on the arm or reflective strips on clothes

The amendment to the Road Traffic Act came into effect on Saturday

The amendment requires pedestrians to use reflective elements when walking on the shoulder or the edge of a road outside the village. According to Besip, the visibility of the reflective material at night is two hundred meters, while a man wearing a blue suit is seen at approximately one-tenth of the distance. At a speed of ninety kilometers per hour, the braking distance of the car is about forty meters. “We welcome the fact that wearing reflective elements has become an obligation,” said Besip regional coordinator Pavel Cizek.

However, he said the amendment to the law is untouched. When a car collides with a pedestrian without reflective elements, it is the driver who is to blame for not adapting the speed to the road conditions. The insufficiently visible person at risk of a collision risks only a fine. “In practice, this means that I can never drive on the 90s on the county roads at night because I have to count on someone unlit on them,” Cizek said.

Tighter neighbors

An even stricter law has been in force in Slovakia since 2014. Pedestrians must wear reflective elements on the road regardless of whether they are in or outside the village. “In the beginning, people complained, but now they have no problem with it,” said Cizek.

Efforts to make pedestrians safer have so far been felt by some merchants. “Reflective elements are sold about twice as much as before,” said Yveta Eiselt, a shop assistant from the Brno workwear shop.

On the contrary, Miroslav Šalanda from the haberdashery of Znojmo did not know any change. “The sale has not gone up so far. More interest will always start in the autumn when the days are shorter,” said Šalanda.

Last year, police in the South Moravian Region recorded four hundred and thirteen pedestrian-car crashes. “Two hundred and twenty-eight of these happened in Brno,” Swab said.

Over forty percent of pedestrian-car collisions took place at pedestrian crossings. Collisions of cars with pedestrians are increasing every year.

Recommendations for cyclists and motorcyclists

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.

Keep your safety with safety vest when meet Vehicle failure

First and foremost, we must take care of our safety. First, when the vehicle is immobilized, we should turn on emergency lights. The next step should be to put on a reflective vest – every driver, even if he does not have a legal obligation in Poland, should have it in his car.

 

Ideally, if the car had a vest for all passengers, remember to keep the vests in your cabin rather than in the hard-to-reach luggage compartment. The cost of buying a vest is small and its impact on immense security. After dusk no glare, we are only visible to the oncoming driver when it is 20 meters ahead – reflections increase this distance to 130 meters. This is a huge difference that gives the driver time to respond appropriately. In addition, note that reflective vests in most European countries are already mandatory vehicle equipment.

 

In the event of a car failure, do not sit in the vehicle

Wearing safety vests, the driver and passengers should safely leave the vehicle. Being in a vehicle exposes us to additional risks. Many people are killed in vehicle immobilization. The speed, bad marking of a broken vehicle, difficult road conditions cause drivers to crash into a broken car.

“Let’s pay special attention to children when leaving the vehicle. Let’s make sure they get off the right side and without hitching on the side of the road behind security barriers or in a zone where there is no risk of getting into another vehicle, “advises ŠKODA Auto School instructor Jackal.

The vehicle in addition to emergency lights should be marked with a warning triangle. Every car must have a car. His absence is not only a sign of negligence for his safety, but also the risk of receiving a mandate in the amount of 50 to 200 zł.

 

How to set up a warning triangle?

By marking a vehicle with a triangle we should have in mind the code of the road code. If we are on a freeway or expressway, the triangle should be set 100 meters from the vehicle. The triangle should be on the roadway or roadside. Outside the built-up area of ​​the triangle, we set 30-50 meters from the vehicle and in the built-up area – just behind the vehicle or on the vehicle at a height of no more than one meter.

 

Our life and health have no price. Reflecting your car with reflective clothing, learning how to deal with a crash is a small effort if you put our safety on the table.
