Reflective vests facilitating the safety of the road went to a dozen or so Poleis schools. This is an action organized by Stokowski, operating under the name of one of the largest agricultural machinery manufacturers in the province.
We called our action quite eloquently. Her motto is “Be visible – be safe.” In this way, we wanted to emphasize and at the same time to make children and young people aware of the importance of road safety – says Paula, the owner of the Metal-Foch Store. A new school year began a few days ago. The autumn-winter period is inexorably approaching. Unfortunately, police statistics leave no shadow of a doubt. It is at this time that more accidents involving pedestrians occur.
Moving on an unlit road without any reflective material, we are virtually invisible to the drivers. The driver has a chance to see such a person only from a distance of about 20-30 meters. It is definitely not enough to avoid it or stop it. The reflective vest makes the roadside notice noticeably earlier – even from a distance of 150 meters. This gives drivers the opportunity to perform safe maneuvers.
Another example of using vests is school trips, even if they take place during the day. This way of naming children has a positive effect on the safety of the little ones, especially in winter when it is gray.
That is why we organized the September campaign in schools. We have handed over a pack of 25 vests to schools. In this way, we wanted to draw students’ attention to the fact that road safety is very important. We encourage you to wear this type of elements, including adults. This is all about our health and even life – adds Paula.
