Over 120 fines for cyclists without safety vest

Road Police officers wear reflective vest organized for two days control actions focused on checking bicycle and moped drivers. The action took place between April 5-6, between 15:00 and 21:00, and resulted in the application of 121 fines for bicycle irregularities. The 121 fines have a value of over 22,000 lei.

Such actions are a priority of the road police officers, as many accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles, bicycles and mopeds are happening in our county. Regarding the cyclists without reflective clothing, in recent years the traffic mistakes committed by them were the third cause of serious accidents in County.

Also, in the context of the "Crime Prevention Week" campaign, the police officers of the Crime Prevention and Analysis Division have carried out preventive actions, especially in the area. Preventive materials were distributed to young people identified on public roads by bicycles.

Police officers offered over 150 safety vests to cyclists, but also other preventive materials. "There were talks with cyclists to raise awareness of the dangers they face in disregarding road legislation," said Commissioner, the coordinator of the Department of Crime Analysis and Prevention within the county police.
