People still wear for reduced visibility to wear reflective elements, or is not positioned correctly, and not so visible from all directions. At today’s meeting with journalists he said the head of department Martin pastor. It’s the obligation to go outside with reflective material are valid from February. It was unmarked and difficult to see pedestrians make up a significant portion of people killed on the roads in October. The tenth month of the year, based on current statistics, appears to be the worst month for the past six years.
The Monday October requested a road killed 56 people. This police recorded 13 pedestrians killed, more visibility in these accidents played a very important role, said the director of traffic police Tomas. The current number of people killed on local roads is three fatalities higher than the total number in the same period last year.
The riskiest period for pedestrians is, according to Lerch ahead of us, statistically the most pedestrian accidents accounted for November. There are several reasons. However, the most important role played by changeable weather. Drivers for example realize that the adhesion of the road during the day changes significantly, in the morning can be the local frost or may not be visible from the road signs, which may for example be partially covered with snow or mud.
Pedestrians may prevent possible accidents, inter alia, that the driver in time to see. Reflective tapes are according Vicar suitable to wear in particular at the lower half of the body. Car lights shining pitch, first leg illuminate pedestrians. This extends the time that the driver has to react from the moment they see a glowing reflective tape or other object.
Along with the advent of autumn Lerch stopped by police tolerate when pedestrians outside the village of reduced visibility are clearly marked. For example, people mistakenly think that the reflective fabric must be only in the dark. But it is not accurate, because visibly marking must be in the dark, such as at dawn or after sunset. The fog is advisable to have with you yet light source such as an electric torch, pastor added. It’s not mandatory, it’s just like the safety recommendations wear light clothing that is much more visible than dark colors.
