The Russian government has changed the traffic rules. Now in the dark when leaving the car, drivers are required to wear a retro-reflective vest. It costs a penny but saves lives. Motorists need to be brighter to live longer.

Both in the city and on the highway it is equally dangerous to become invisible. In the dark and conditions of limited visibility, hundreds of people die. Helping the victims in a night accident, the actor of the series "Fizruk" died. Yegor Klinaev noticed the collided cars and stopped. The driver of a foreign car flying past crashed cars and not a caring car owner did not see.

Sultan Zhankaziyev, vice-rector of MADI, professor: "In our system of driver training, unfortunately, in connection with behavior in the event of an accident, there are no necessary points. In other countries, this moment is given a lot of attention. Everyone understands perfectly that people are dying not only as a result of an accident but also after an accident."

According to the traffic rules, drivers should wear vests, but passengers are also at risk when they get out of the car. In Europe, a set of 5 vests should be in every car.

Irina Pegova, actress: "This is really important because I am on the tracks and often see fatal outcomes."

The truckers suggested using a vest on the tracks as a "need help" signal.

Alexey Levchenko, the head of the truckers' community: "We need some kind of sign that will indicate that a person needs help. And the vest was taken for the idea, to hang it on the mirror on the left side. Perfectly visible passing cars."

After 3 months, when the norm comes into force, every driver must have a reflective vest, and not in the trunk, but inside the car, so as not to go out on a dark and dangerous road without a vest. It is necessary to wear it, but fine, if not put on, no. People themselves must take care of their safety. Vest for 200 rubles can be a salvation. The "Main Road" program encourages both drivers and pedestrians to wear retro-reflective elements.
