War between taxi drivers at the airport

Taxi drivers from the corporation that operates the airport declared war on the non-attached. They defended by reflective vests with the “recommendation” of the airport.

 

Taxi Corporation City plus Neptune Taxi for ten years leases from the airport two of three coves for taxis, including one adjacent to the terminal. The third, one hundred meters away from it is intended for taxi drivers of other corporations and so-called non-members. In addition, everything would be okay, if not for years of conflict between affiliated and non-attached taxi drivers.

 

The conflict between taxi drivers has been growing for years, but escalated when the number of taxi drivers outside the corporation began to grow rapidly. In addition, the number of customers is using City plus Neptune to decrease.

– During the day, approximately 100 to 140 of our taxis arrive to the terminal. When there were six, maybe seven, few years ago, there were no problems. Now there are more than 20 of them, and the methods they use to get customers are as much controversial as they are effective. We must sometimes stand for a few hours to enter the first place, and they enter the hall and accost people – says Wildman in yellow vest, one of the corporate taxi drivers.

 

“Methods” means a first soliciting customer at the terminal, which is theoretically forbidden at the airport. – In addition, there are insults, punishments, such as threatening to burn a car. Whenever this happens, our taxi drivers make reports. I have more and more of them. In the end, they will go to the police – says lesser, president of the CNP. That is why a week ago, “official” taxi drivers have put on a vest with information that they are a corporation recommended by the airport.

 

In addition, we have allowed them to enter the terminal area, where they are visible to passengers. The terminal has plates with information in Polish, English and German, that it is a trustworthy and recommended by us company. I think that we are on the right track to resolve this conflict – says Mare Karaka, head of the terminal. We were unable to contact any of the taxi drivers in reflective uniform outside the corporation, although we waited for them about an hour and a half.

Police in safety vest detain vehicle registration certificates

If a police officer in safety vest finds that the vehicle is showing serious technical defects in a roadside check, it can withhold a vehicle registration certificate. The driver must have it by law. Retention of this document may prevent traffic accidents caused by such a dangerous vehicle. The driver asks you to return the document to the local and relevant authority. It shall be issued to him without delay as soon as the driver demonstrates by the protocol of carrying out the technical inspection that the defects have been removed. When assessing the technical condition of a vehicle, the policeman must follow a precisely defined list of defects set out in the decree.

 

The current law does not regulate the movement of trucks in road traffic and they are subject to the same rules as pedestrians. This will no longer apply and users will have clear rules and restrictions. If someone uses a so-called personal conveyor, a device, he can only walk on the sidewalk with the speed of walking. “In both cases, must ensure that he does not endanger and restrain other road users,” says Dan in reflective vest.

 

By means of traffic signs, the municipality can restrict the operation of trucks where the conditions for their use are inadequate. This generally preserves the possibility of operating these trucks and, at the same time, gives local authorities the power to regulate their use locally. In case of approval of the law, the Ministry of Transport plans to introduce a new traffic sign prohibiting the movement of trucks.

 

The seaway cannot be moved completely from the sidewalk to the road. Unlike cyclists, seaway people typically borrow and find themselves in the streets without having much experience with driving. Such a means, which is wider than a wheel and has automatic control, would be dangerous on the road both for the users themselves and for the driver.

 

Obligation to clean the vehicle before driving

Drivers will have a specific duty to clean the windscreen and front side glasses from ice, snow and other dirt before driving. Likewise, they will have to remove from the vehicle and cargo pieces of ice and snow that can be released while driving. “This is a basic thing, but the drivers sometimes neglect. If a large piece of ice is dropped from a truck, for example, it is a very dangerous situation that can end up with a road accident, “said Transport Minister Dan.

 

Traffic psychological examination

The amendment also introduces stricter rules for traffic psychological examinations. The aim is that this obligation is not only a formality and not easy to circumvent. The content of the psychological examination will be clearly defined. If the driver gets a negative opinion, he cannot replace him for three months with a positive opinion from another psychologist. On the other hand, however, people will be able to ask for a psychological examination.

 

Bail in the offense

In the event that the driver does not lay down a bail, which the policeman determines because of the risk of circumventing the administrative procedure, the policeman will be able to re-hold the vehicle registration certificate. In addition to the possibility of shutting down the vehicle, the police officer in reflective uniform will have another tool that has a similar effect and can simplify the enforcement of road rules.

In May this year it was in the packed Old Forge on the topic of “Old hands – New Rules” and in December, the two players to the police again report lifesaving aids that are clearly visible from invisible participants in traffic can.

Because still is the rule “see and be seen” an essential basis for safe use on the road – and that, of course, especially now in the dark season.

 

In darkness, pedestrians are subject to multiple increased risks of accidents, because at night the human visual performance drops to about five percent of the daily value. With dark, low-contrast clothing pedestrians are perceived only from 25 meters. However, wearing the pedestrian reflectors or reflective clothing, he’s been seen at a distance of around 140 meters. What could be considered the means by which you can protect yourself well – all that is the content of the event, which starts on Thursday 3 December in the Old Forge in Wheeze in the waterway 7 at 15 o’clock and ends at 17th?
