Police officers handed out fines but also well-visible bags

Police officers checked more than one hundred vehicles and 28 drivers committed a misdemeanor. On Friday, police spokeswoman Marketa John summarized the findings of the traffic safety event that took place in Melnik on Wednesday afternoon. Police officers went into action concentrating above all on seat belts, holding a mobile phone behind the wheel – as well as using the blinkers when leaving the roundabout.

The use of belts by the driver or co-driver has been omitted in six cases. Even seven times police officers fined for a poor technical condition. And three times the speed was detected, John recalled frequent (and repetitive) offenses. “One driver drove under the influence of alcohol,” she added. “He breathed in a single promise,” she said, that the value found remained below the threshold separating the offense from the offense.

However, police officers gave not only sanctions but also reflexive items. Already in the morning, they focused on the visibility of pedestrians. For children, they had reflective tapes, drivers got reflective vests and seniors bags with reflective fabrics. “The most reflective materials were distributed in the village, where the bus stop is illuminated. Walkers in dark clothes are almost invisible here, “added John.
