Fines and warnings. Police check the wearing of reflective elements

Dozens of police officers in the Hradec Králové region are heading to the roads these days before dawn. They warn and, as a last resort, penalize pedestrians and drivers who do not comply with the essential rule for road traffic. That is, it must be sufficiently visible.

In the Hradec Králové region, police control all autumn. They focus on pedestrians and cyclists to have reflective vest elements. These can save lives, with reflective elements people can be seen at 200 meters. According to BESIP, this is the distance to which the driver can safely react.

You only see 55 meters in white clothing, 37 in yellow, and 18 in blue. You are almost invisible in black.

It was the dark clothes that the pedestrians had paid for on Sunday evening behind Jaromer when her driver was knocked down. The woman suffered very serious injuries.
