Today, on the 2nd of October, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern starts thematic traffic controls with a focus on "Lighting equipment" and "Control of goods and Regular services". The actions are part of the monthly campaign. The controls take place throughout October.
With the beginning of the dark season is the review of functioning lighting in the focus of the controls - free after the motto "See and be seen".
For example, anyone who drives light as a car or truck driver will also be better recognized by pedestrians and cyclists. Also, it helps switched on the light to better estimate the overtaking distance.
Cyclists must be at any time of day with dipped beam drive whoever violates and gets caught will pay ten euros. Also, riders should look for reflectors and wear safety vests.
An accident causes that is due to inadequate or missing lighting is due, as well as accident numbers due to not there is no light turned on. Motor vehicle drivers who despite poor visibility without light are traveling, pay 20 Euro penalty.
Even pedestrians and cyclists increase with the increasing darkness in the fall the risk of an accident on the road. The right clothing can prevent it is recommended rather to wear lighter clothes. Even more effective are reflective of one's materials as well as additional reflective tapes and "blinkies". While motorists in the twilight pedestrians with dark clothes only off about 25 meters, they can pedestrians with bright clothes off a distance of around 40 meters, with reflective clothing even from 150 meters recognize - true to the motto "visibility brings security".
The controls of the line and freight traffic - the second the focus of the campaign this month - are predominantly through the specialized highway traffic police stations carried out.
