On Saturday, motorcyclists passing through Katowice and Sosnowiec received from the police specially prepared first-aid kit and a reflective sashes. None of the detained drivers had them before with him.
First aid kits handed out by officers were small, handy to attach to a belt. They are designed in such a way as not to hamper the two-wheeler drivers while driving. Within 2.5 hours duration of action in both cities were given nearly 50 pieces.
The motorcyclist is a specific participant in traffic. When an accident happens that – it is to put it colloquially – a motorbike goes to the left and the rider lands on the right. So, first aid kit should be with him. He is unable to delve into the trunk and pull it from the clipboard – says Mir slaw tvn24.pl Dubach, coordinator of the action from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Katowice.
First aid kit is not a compulsory element of equipment for the driver of the motorcycle. The rules say only about a protective helmet with reflective stripes.
100 percent of the motorcyclists were surprised by this action. No one had a first aid kit. Some said they did not have at her place, but when we showed them how it is assumed stated that from now on they will certainly carry it with you – reports officer.
Reflective sashes better than jackets.
Everyone arrested was also reflective sash. In previous years, police handed out vests, but the riders did not like it because … obscured club emblems and logos on leather jackets. Sashes while greatly increase the driver’s visibility on the road, while not blocking anything on clothes.
When you arrive to your destination and can also be easily removed, tuck into a pocket and continue to present the aesthetic value of their reflective jackets or vests – concludes the coordinator of the action.
Motorcycle season is in full, because the police for the coming months look more like the stock, the largest – at the end of summer.
