Studio Hradec Karloff: Safety of pedestrians and drivers on the roads
Last week at Starry Jessica in Pardubice it was similar to a crash in which the pedestrian died in dark clothing and without reflective elements. A tragic accident in which an “invisible” pedestrian died, was even on the D11 motorway where the car crashed the driver of another car that stopped and crossed the highway to help in an accident. But he did not take his reflective vest.
The police or department of the BESIP of the Ministry of Transport warns about the danger of invisibility for pedestrians. According to BESIP, the use of reflective material gives the driver the chance to avoid pedestrians at night in a safe and safe manner. While in dark clothes he probably does not notice it before the accident and in white clothing does not have enough time to react anyway, the reflective tape or vest should be seen at 200 meters, which already give a sufficient time reserve.
Hradec Karloff Regional Coordinator of BESIP Lade Konia stated that in good visibility and on dry roads the driver needs to stop at a speed of 50km / h at less than 30 meters. “It’s changing at different speeds,” she said. So if the car is driving at ninety, the distance the driver needs to see that something is in danger and brakes increases to 70 meters.
