Taking dark clothing in November with no reflective material and going out on the roadside, on the road, can be a gambling with life. Has the new duty of wearing reflective elements helped reduce the number of pedestrian and car crashes, which usually ends tragically?
“The duty to wear reflective elements on clothing is valid from mid February this year. People seem to be observing and observing the law, “said Martin from the Malta Transport Inspectorate of the Police of the Czech Republic.
He pointed out that, while last year, forty-five accidents were caused by under-lighting for pedestrians, this year’s police have recorded forty cases of vehicle drivers not being able to avoid traffic on time. He reminded everyone of the recent accident that did not go unheeded.
“In the evening, the car driver overlooked a pedestrian who was on the D10 motorway in the section of the reconstructed Bride Bridge and did not wear reflective vests. He was also under the influence of alcohol, “said Martin. According to him, the most risky season is coming in the autumn, the place, and then the crossing behind the roundabout. Pedestrians should pay attention to where and how they are going.
“It is important for the driver to make eye contact, so he registers that you are going to pass,” advised police spokesperson Lucie Novak, saying that reflective tapes should be worn on the part of the body you are facing towards the center of the road.
