During the May weekend police officers in safety vest will carry out more frequent inspections of the sobriety, technical condition of vehicles, the way passengers are transported. No tariff reductions for road pirates – police announces and appeals for safe car travel.

When planning a trip, do not let your family get to the exact arrival time of your destination, as we cannot predict all the road events such as traffic jams. Behind the wheel of alcohol “- observe the police.

 

Their appeals are also addressed to passengers. “Do not be passive in a brave, risky, imaginative drive. You have to react and strongly resist, demanding safe driving,” stressed the officers. They add that excessive speed, overtaking in places that are not allowed, or failures of priority are the most common causes of tragedy on the road.

 

Before traveling by car, let’s first check its technical condition, setting the lights and equipment. A fire extinguisher and a warning triangle with homologations should be in place in the vehicle, but it is also worth having a first aid kit and a reflective vest.

 

The policemen recall that on a longer journey better leave to rest – after a 7-8 hour sleep. By analyzing the time we want to overcome the planned distance, drivers should anticipate breaks that will overcome fatigue and rest from sitting position. “After two to three hours of driving, you must make a minimum of a 15-minute break in a safe place, such as a car park, a motel, a gas station,” they emphasize. They also advise to avoid driving east in the afternoon and west in the afternoon, because then the sun is dazzling.

When planning a trip for a long weekend, it is worth leaving your apartment under the eye of a neighbor, leaving a phone number at which he will be able to contact you at all times. When leaving the house, all windows and doors should be closed, because – as the cops remind us – about two thirds of the burglars enter the apartments by the window. Police officers also warn not to leave keys in the so- “good lockers” (under the wiper, behind the pot on the window, behind the door jamb) – thieves usually check these places.

 

A good way is to take a curtain or leave the shutter and leave the light in the room – it will make it appear that someone is in the house.

Police also point out that under Polish law, public places such as streets, squares and parks are forbidden to drink alcohol, unless there are places designated for its consumption, such as restaurant gardens. In addition, each council of the municipality has the possibility of banning the consumption of alcohol other places in their area.
