Deteriorating road conditions require more caution and increased concentration from drivers. Police officers call for caution on road at night, wearing a reflective clothing to keep visible will be good for your safe.
Slippery surfaces, fogs, rainfall, or local snowfall means that drivers should take their feet off the gas. In these conditions, the visibility drops and the braking distance is significantly longer. That is why it is so important to adjust the speed to the prevailing conditions and check the technical condition of your car. Changing tires, checking the condition of the wipers, lights and braking system should be mandatory activities that we will perform before winter. It is very important to take care of the appropriate field of view. Remember to clean the glass and mirrors of our car from ice and other dirt.
A special appeal is made by the police officers to pedestrians not to go directly in front of an oncoming vehicle. Even at the pedestrian crossing, you must first make sure that the driver will manage to slow down. Every pedestrian should also remember about his safety and take care to be visible. A reflective vest, key chain, headband, or even a flashlight will make it easier to see the oncoming driver when moving on a poorly lit road.
The police remind you of the obligation to use reflective elements by pedestrians traveling on roads outside the built-up area – the use of reflective material improves visibility and thus safety.
