Lately the Road Police has triggered a cascade of control actions at national level.
The main issue addressed is the verification of the possession of the medical kit by the drivers. At first glance, this issue seems banal, but things are not so far. If you are stopped by the traffic agents, besides the documents, you have to show, at their request and the fact that your car is equipped with a fire extinguisher, a medical kit and a reflective triangle. Nothing simpler, except that things are not so far-fetched, writes glsa.ro
If there are no problems at the two reflective triangles and waistcoats, the extinguisher and the medical kit are very likely to “drop” the test. Why? Very simple: because the medical kit and the fire extinguisher are very likely to be expired. Because, let’s be serious who’s looking at these details. Everybody buy the kit and put it in the trunk. “And I was stopped by the Police in safety vest and I was asked, besides the documents and checking the existence of the Periodic Technical Inspection (ITP), to show the first aid kit. I quietly pulled it out and showed it to the traffic agents. But when they were checked my feet were soaked. The perishable articles, to say so, had past deadlines. So I chose 5 penalty points and a fine of 300 lei, “says F.G., a 54-year-old amateur driver from Arad.
In Argues and Valera, a real “tsunami” of fines has just begun in the last week, precisely related to this theme. For now there are no signs that in Arad these controls have been steadily multiplying. However, we remember that the issue in question is a permanent national issue for Traffic Police in reflective vest. So it is better to make sure in the past that you are legalized. That is, if the first-aid kit and the car extinguisher are in the period of validity. No less important is that the entire first aid equipment is approved by RAR. The price of such a complete set is around the sum of 100 lei. And fine three times more. That’s why we think it’s more helpful to open your eyes. Do not open the bag more than you would like.
