The Senate passed
the amendment without changes, which among other things allows municipalities
to restrict the operation of SEGWAY. The standard also directs pedestrians to
wear reflective material outside the village and allows police to
detain small technical certificate in poor technical condition of the vehicle.
He decided on
Wednesday by the Senate despite efforts by some senators who wanted, among
other things, remove the officers the right to measure the speed or allow
cyclists to ride after drinking less alcohol. The amendment, which also saves
motorists obligation to clean up vehicles from the ice and snow from where they
obstructed from view, now gets to the signature of the president.
Norma has also permitted
to remove a half year driving license for those who crossed the railway
crossing at the time of signal arrival. The fine for such an offense is not
increased yet, as advocated by the Greens, the Social Democrats by Senator
Peter Galas but in the future considering the increase from five thousand to
five times.
The largest part
of the three-hour debate took the Senators debate on the abolition of the right
of officers to measure the rate that pushed the chairman of the ODS senators
and Teplice Mayor. "The proposal for the deletion of the possibility to
measure the speed of vehicles of municipal police, the Ministry of Transport
pursuant to the Ministry of the Interior adopted a negative opinion," said
Transport Minister Dan in reflective uniforms. He reasoned,
inter alia, that the change was not discussed with the concerned authorities
and was not evaluated its impact on traffic safety and investment communities
to radar.
Keera argued that
many communities want only improve incomes, and therefore leave the rate
measured outside built-up areas. He also pointed to the administration and the
increase in unpaid fines for traffic offenses, which according to him, over the
past five years has climbed from 29 million to 43 million.
CSSD chairman
senators admitted that the city police would not have to measure your speed,
but compensates for insufficient capacity of the police officers in order to
ensure greater safety in the communities. This also argued Sen. "I speak
against itself, because I patroness of the city police. Very often it
subsidizes for speeding," she said.
Senate deputy
chairman Zeneca (CSSD) proposed to enable cyclists either by the Austrian model
0.8 per mile of alcohol in the blood, if they went after a third-class road or
bike paths, or alternatively 0.5 percent. It would also limit the maximum
amount of fines for alcohol for cyclists at 500 crowns. He argued that the
police often collect fines on the wine trails.
The obligation
reflective elements for pedestrians, a vest or just armbands, Transport
Minister said that for her violations will face a fine of up to two thousand.
Flak also said that the ministry has an agreement with the police that more
people handing out reflective tape. He also announced that his office is trying to
deal with the Czech Association of Insurance Companies to provide towing
vehicles unusable.
