It is darker in the morning and fogs are more common. Early evening is getting darker. The roads are wet, slippery and soon fallen leaves will appear on them.
"Pedestrians should also be more careful. Dark clothing may be stylish, but certainly not safe," said Presidium spokeswoman Denisa Balogh.
Frequent rain, fog, later dawn, and early sunset can be a source of accidents.
"All road users should think about it and take extra care after the summer cool. Drivers should take their foot off the gas and, especially on a wet road, maintain greater spacing between vehicles. The braking distance is prolonged. Drivers should check the lighting, the fog lights help, but if there is no reason to use them, they should be turned off, dazzling."
Beware of people traveling
Trees growing along the road often attract collectors. Especially when traveling between villages, children run around, there are comfortable bicycles and various darts.
"Drivers should be cautious on such sections. Collectors use reflective clothing and think that when they collide with a car, they are the more vulnerable and the consequences can be fatal."
Last ride on a motorcycle
The last nice days are used by motorcyclists to ride the country. However, the fallen leaves and the wet road can forever end their carefree ride.
"Like pedestrians or cyclists, they are among the most vulnerable on the road. Although they are legally obliged to be illuminated and have reflective elements on them, few of the cyclists do this. They often drive on the wrong side of the road, side by side, and alcohol is also common."
According to the police, using reflective tapes is better than in the past. Contributed to this amendment to the law, which made pedestrians obliged to have reflective materials in reduced visibility.
"Many pedestrians still don't think about their safety and risk their lives. Especially older people prefer to wear dark colors. They don't realize that the driver often sees them when it's too late."
Since the beginning of the year, the police have registered 9434 traffic accidents resulting in the loss of 173 persons, including 97 drivers and passengers, 23 motorcyclists, 41 pedestrians and 12 cyclists.
