In Poland, mismatching speed to traffic conditions is the most common cause of fatal road accidents. Driving at speed increases the risk of death and serious injury.
Police warn drivers against recklessness and driving too fast
Failure to adjust the speed to traffic conditions is a factor that causes the loss of control over the vehicle, which may result in a serious collision with another vehicle or hitting a pedestrian.
When sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle, we should be aware that we are responsible not only for our safety but also for the life and health of other road users. Let’s avoid recklessness and risky behavior that lead to tragedy. We should also remember to observe the road and its surroundings, especially in the area of pedestrian crossings. According to the regulations, when approaching a pedestrian crossing, the driver is obliged to exercise particular caution and give way to pedestrians on the crossing.
We appeal for prudence and common sense on the roads, but also culture and kindness towards other road users. We remind young managers that it does not pay to sacrifice their lives and put others at risk to experience moments of emotions and impress their peers.
The current season is favorable for two-wheeler users
We remind motorcyclists, mopeds, and cyclists that, like pedestrians, they are unprotected road users and, in their case, disregarding traffic regulations can lead to serious consequences.
Cyclists should ensure that they are visible on the road, even in nice weather. A reflective vest and functional lights make drivers see the cyclist in advance, which allows them to safely overtake. In contrast, wearing a helmet is the most effective way to relieve head injuries resulting from both bicycle, moped, and motorbike accidents. Let’s also take care of the proper technical condition of your two-wheeler.
Enjoying the nice weather and free time, let’s use the road in a way that does not conflict with the law and does not endanger other road users. Regardless of your weekend plans, let’s keep safety in mind.
