Make yourself visible

At dawn and at night, the risk of accidents is three times higher than during the day. At nocturnal rain, snow or backlight, it rises to ten times. The Dug police recall suitable measures for good visibility of pedestrians and cyclists. Such as wear safety vest with reflective fabric. This makes them easier to recognize for the car drivers. Please note the following tips:

Wear light or reflective clothing or reflective tapes as pedestrians or on the bike.

Before leaving, check the lights on your car or bike.

Fog lights may only be switched on if the visibility is significantly reduced due to fog, snow or heavy rain.
