Do not charge, think, anticipate threats

The current aura forces the change of driving technique - unfortunately, many drivers forget about it. Police officers appeal for prudence and common sense. Incorrect speed to the conditions on the road may be the cause of the tragedy. Especially when it rains, which significantly reduces visibility and lengthens the braking distance.

The autumn weather makes the conditions on the road very changeable, more treacherous and dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians. That's why traffic cops appeal to everyone, both drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, to be especially cautious and careful.

Over the weekend, there were eleven road collisions in the Sanok.

The most common reason for the incidents was maladjustment of speed to conditions on the road or failure to exercise due caution. In two cases, there was a collision with forest animals.

POLICE RECALLS:

In connection with rainfall, roadways can be slippery, and in such situations, the wheels easily lose their grip. Remember that in many different places the road surface combined with rainfall, extends the braking distance of the vehicle, in extreme cases, the driver may slip and not control the car. Overtaking in such conditions, passing, cornering can be very dangerous. Drivers should remember to navigate the road with lights on and observe the speed limits, and when weather conditions are worse, to slow down according to the principle that slower means safer. We appeal not to charge, think or anticipate threats.

You should pay special attention to the depressions of the terrain, on hills, near forests and water reservoirs - the road can be particularly slippery there. Exercise extreme caution near pedestrian crossings. Also, be careful when commuting to them. If the pedestrian enters the passage, the driver may not slow down.

We send a special appeal to the pedestrians so that they do not go directly in front of the oncoming vehicle. Even at a pedestrian crossing, make sure that the driver can stop the vehicle. Of course, the pedestrian takes precedence over the passage, but here the principle of limited trust is most applicable.

Every pedestrian and cyclist should also remember about their safety and take care to be visible. A reflective vest, keychain, headband which made by reflective tape or even a flashlight will make it easier to see the oncoming driver when moving on a poorly lit road. We would like to remind you that from August 31, 2014, all pedestrians who move around the dusk along the way outside the built-up area must have a reflection visible to the drivers. The lack of a reflective material is threatened by a fine. Although traffic regulations do not impose an obligation to use vests and reflective elements in the built-up area, they, to a large extent, improve visibility. They give drivers valuable time to take the right response - often saving lives and health.

Remember - the speed allowed during intense rainfall does not always mean speed SAFE!

It is also important to remember about proper and compliant use of fog lights and daytime running lights (Article 51 of the Law on Road Traffic).

An additional difficulty during this period (not only for drivers) is often worse well-being. The bad mood can affect the speed of reaction and concentration, which is also worth remembering when moving on the road.

Today, RATB controllers wear blue reflective vests

The controllers of the Bucharest Transport Company will be easier to identify.

Starting today, they all wear blue reflective vests and have the RATB logo printed.

On the back of the vest, it is written in large letters CONTROL.

The measure was taken by RATB to encourage those who travel with the means of transport to validate their travel cards.

The director hopes to increase his proceeds - said at FM, the RATB spokesman.

With a reflective cap, pedestrians are safer

Pedestrians should be easy to see for other road users. This is ensured by reflective clothing in the dark. The best effect is achieved by the right headgear.

If motorists ignore pedestrians, usually because of their clothes, experts recommend using reflective materials.

Not only cyclists but also pedestrians are safer in the dark season when they wear clothes with as many and large reflective surfaces.

Especially recommended for those who are on foot, be a reflective cap, advises the German Society for Orthopedics and Traumatology DGOU). Take care of the highest part of the body for good visibility from all sides. But even with textiles and safety vests pedestrians can increase their visibility. Accessories such as reflective belts or stickers for everyday wear also make the dark season safer for pedestrians.

The "yellow vests"

Those known as "yellow vests" burst onto the scene planning to cut French roads this Saturday. 78% of the French are in favor of a protest that the right supports.

They are the last political sensation in France. They have neither a party behind, apparently, nor a union hierarchy or any other acronym. Not even a very elaborate name.

They are known as the "yellow vests" and have imposed themselves in all conversations of the Gallic country to the slips of Macron with the collaborator Petain or even to the gestures of the Trump's visit on the occasion of the 100 years of the First World War. This Saturday, November 17, the "yellow vests" who wear reflective vests with reflective tape will cut, or so they pretend, the roads of France.

The action is part of the protests that are scheduled for that day throughout the country and have as their object of anger the tax increase to the government fuel Macron. The cabinet has tried to justify it, in the words of the president, because "it is preferable to tax gasoline than work", although the Economy Minister Bruno Le Maier himself admitted that "we are all motorists".

The problem for the government is that, drivers or not, it has thrown against people. According to a survey commissioned by Le Figaro, 76% considered the rise in fuel negative and 78% in favor of the protests on November 17.

Given that with regard to this matter, the society is clear, the debate that has settled in France has to do on the one hand with the how, the way in which the yellow vests have broken into the scene without being apparently sponsored by any leader Social. We do not talk about anything like a reissue of the French 15M, but of a Facebook group. With just over 17,000 followers, the reference page, and where everything that can happen on Saturday is cooked is here.
