Pedestrian behavior and compliance with the prohibition of drinking alcohol before driving with drivers. In the past few days, police officers in the Yakut Hora region have focused on these two important points of operation within traffic safety events.
“The actions were based on precautionary measures to ensure road safety and smoothness, in an effort to reduce persistent discipline and the number of road accidents on the roads under alcohol. Since the beginning of this year, Yakut Hora’s traffic police officers have saved ten cases of traffic accidents, when the culprit was affected by an addictive substance, ”said police spokeswoman Vendetta Markov.
The police checked a total of 189 vehicles and imposed 25 fines totaling CZK 6300. For example, it was not wearing a seat belt, not marking a pedestrian with reflective material, or an unsuitable technical condition of the vehicle. In one case, it was driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages.
For pedestrians, events focus mainly on locations where they are expected to move on roads outside the community. “Reflective vests with reflective tapes are important in low visibility. It is the pedestrian’s visibility that greatly influences whether the driver avoids pedestrians, ”the spokeswoman said.
