There were points for the number of pupils in a class who had made it to the Paulsboro independently without parental help and parental car. Further points were awarded for the wearing of warning reflective vests on the way to school. “These vests, or in any case bright, eye-catching clothes you should continue to wear in the morning,” the children were admonished.

The winter weather, and with it the difficult road conditions cause a decrease in safety for all road users. This obliges drivers to prudence, vigilance, to maintain a proper spacing and driving at the speed limit, while walking to the special care when crossing the road, including at a pedestrian without safety vest crossing and equipment with reflectors.

 

Today’s weather is not an ally of drivers. Rain freezing rain or snow; make the roadway is wet and slippery. Every driver should therefore be aware that it’s very easy in such circumstances to lose control of the vehicle and the braking distance is much longer than usual. Therefore, particularly in the areas of pedestrian crossings, the driver should slow to catch brake and avoid deductions. In such conditions, each driver should be alert for pedestrians, especially those outside the built-up going shoulder and on slippery surfaces can simply slip, causing danger to themselves and approaching the driver, as well as those who have no reflective material in dark clothing, they are almost invisible to the driver.

 

That’s why the police special appeal direct to the pedestrians, the most vulnerable on the road. They must realize that to avoid the deduction, you must cross the road at a considerable distance from the oncoming vehicle, because the length of the braking path is in such conditions significantly extended. Nor should it be running up the road, including the pedestrian crossing. Always look around carefully; making sure that the road does not appear in any vehicle, and normal cross the road does not end in serious injury or even death. For your own safety, and even the protection of your life, every pedestrian should be mandatory to equip the reflective element, to become more visible to other road users. Reflective vests, flashlights, umbrellas, reflectors on the hand, make a pedestrian will be visible to the driver not from a distance of 20-30 meters, but from a distance of up to 150 meters. This can ensure that the driver has time to slow down and there will be no deductions.

 

Adecco to call the police in such weather conditions all road kept prudence and caution, so that each of us can reach safely to her, if only a few minutes’ journey. For that to happen, each of us must observe established rules and traffic regulations.
