Police in safety vest said the driver would not lose his penalties

In June 2018, regulations will become effective, thanks to which, after obtaining 24 penalty points, the police in reflective vest will not take their driving license right away.

 

In the case of committing a traffic offense, the police officer not only lists the ticket, but also imposes an appropriate number of penalty points. The driving license will lose drivers who exceed the 24-point limit, and its recovery is possible only after re-checking qualifications in all categories. If the driver has a driving license for less than a year, the point limit is 20.

 

Currently, people who have penalties on their account can take training at their own cost to reduce their number. This does not apply only to drivers within one year from the date of issuing a driving license for the first time. In this way, you can reduce the account by six points, and such training can take place no more than once every six months. The training organized by the Road Traffic Center is PLN 300.

 

From June 4, 2018, when changes are due to take effect, after exceeding 24 penalty points, the driver will not automatically lose his rights. He will be directed to a special training, but if he does not take part in it within one month of the delivery of the administrative decision, then he will say goodbye to the driving license.

 

The training is to last, a total of 28 hours, and the driver must reserve four days for it. The cost is PLN 500, and after its completion, the account with penalty points will be zeroed. Participants will be acquainted with the theory and will be subjected to psychological research. You need to know that you cannot pass more than 6 weeks from referral to the course to recover the document. After completing the course, you will not be able to take part in it for the next five years. If the driver again exceeds the 24-point limit, he will lose his license. He will have to go to the course and pass the exam.

 

After the changes, the police officer in safety clothing will be able to punish the driver with a maximum of 10 penalty points, regardless of the number of offenses committed.

 

Children master school path without the “parent taxis”

he Bickered participates in the nationwide campaign days. Until 29 September, children should be given more safety in road traffic, self-confidence should be encouraged and the daily traffic collapse in front of primary schools and kindergartens should be counteracted. The Bickered is also involved in this.

 

During the days of the event, all pupils are called upon to master the way to school without “parents’ taxis”. The same applies, of course, to all parents or accompanying persons.

 

Students meet at three stops

To this end, the Bickered has considered a very special concept: there will be reporting stations at three fixed “breakpoints” in the vicinity of the school. There, all students who are on foot can pick up a registration stamp every morning. The wearing of a safety vest gives even an extras stamp in the specially prepared bonus card. At the end of the campaign, the school class can collect the most stamps and each class has the chance to win one of the three coveted class winners’ cups.

 

Support by teachers and parents

“Thanks to the support of the entire teaching staff and many parents, we are able to carry out this great activity,” says Angelika, the school’s vice-president. “It is very important to us to counteract the daily traffic collapse before school by means of active prevention measures.

 

This is the ideal opportunity. Especially in terms of safety for children, so many cars are a high risk to the day-to-day schooling, “the Rector reports.”We hope that as many students as possible will be able to take part in the school path and have fun on foot after these days.”

 

With certificate and medal

After the end of the campaign days, each participant in reflective vest of the Bickered receives a certificate and a medal. These should remind you how much fun it is to be on the road. Whether alone or in the group: movement makes you mobile and brings momentum into the morning.
