“Create reflection” – a campaign Warsaw CRB

Last week, we summarize safety on the streets of Warsaw in 2013 and the way the authorities and representatives of the police mentioned that they will encourage the use of reflective accessories while riding a motorcycle.

 

On the CRB Warsaw we say that the campaign is part of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 – 2020 Officials want to focus on the drivers of motorcycles and scooters. At the same time they admit that they realize that the effects will not be seen immediately (if at all will be given the fact that the Polish motorcyclists love to carry in black). The campaign is also to be encouraging manager’s wheelers to discuss how you can improve their road safety.

 

Paul campaign ambassadors were Prussia and Sublime. As part of the advertising spots appear, and will be organized meetings to be moved about safety among motorcyclists. Generally speaking, the idea is that security is not only branded clothes and spiked helmet protectors, but also elements that allow to get noticed on the road.

 

Here the choice is sizable – you can buy clothes in bright colors or with reflective elements, and you can also equip themselves with a safety vest or reflective bands. Of course, in addition to driving in built-up areas should slow down a little. We know that driving under the provisions of pathological is still on our roads, so we will only say that adding restrictions to 10 or 20 km / h always gives the driver a better chance of noticing us than the addition of 50 km / h or more.

 

Are officials and police officers actually wanted to take a more diplomatic dialogue with bikers? The answer to this question probably will be announced with the arrival of summer.
