A reflective tour of the province


A reflective tour of the province is underway Mazowieckie. Today, the students of the General Education School in Mogielnica in the Grójec district received reflective vests.

This is the next edition of the "You are visible, you're safe" campaign, organized by the Provincial Road Traffic Center in Radom and the Marshal's Office of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship. Over 120 students of grades I-VII received reflective elements. They had the opportunity to practice their skills on a bicycle obstacle course. They also familiarized themselves with the principles of first aid and road safety.

"Today, the children got sets with four reflective elements. These are two wristbands that can be put on your arm, leg and two pendants, which you can attach to your backpack or keys," said Tomasz Jagodziński from the Marshal's Office.

"In addition to learning, safety and health are in the first place. This campaign should be promoted by all schools to make young people aware that this safety is the most important thing for their lives," said Jolanta Tomczyk, the director of ZSO.

"Every action that will save a human life is the most important one. If any visible and visible reflection allows the car not to enter only one person, then it is already a success," said the councilor of Mazovia regional council Leszek Przybytniak.

The Grójec police and fire brigade were also involved in the reflective action in Mogielnica.

"Reflective materials are very important, especially important among the youngest ones. There are no sidewalks in this area, which also significantly affects safety. In addition, now it is not yet clear enough when children go to school, so they will be able to use these reflections for their safety, "said Agnieszka Wójcik, a press officer of the Poviat Police Headquarters in Grójec.

WORD Director Dariusz Piątek is used to several reflective trips a week, but he also sees the effects. The campaign is bearing fruit. "It's getting better. First of all, it is caused not so much by fashion, but by the fact that producers and clothing and those reflections go with the times. It is no longer like one type of hangers, one color. Various elements are produced from hangers, bangles, vests with reflective tapes, through even toys, mascots, bags and it is more and more visible on the streets. This is also visible among people who actively play sports. We start to take care of our own safety," said Dariusz Piątek.

And tomorrow, the campaign "You are visible, you are safe" will visit Sienna.
