Police officers are ensuring safety, smooth traffic flow and compliance by drivers with the applicable regulations. The service will be carried out at static inspection points and dynamically on the busiest routes.
Officers are using marked and unmarked police cars equipped with video recorders, which enable them to identify dangerous drivers who pose a threat to other road users. Officers will also check the technical condition of vehicles and drivers’ sobriety, as alcohol and recklessness remain among the most serious hazards in traffic.
Because traffic jams may form on the main routes during departures and returns, as everyone wants to reach their destination as quickly as possible, police officers urge people to set out on their journey early enough. There is nothing worse than rushing on the road and trying to make up for lost minutes. Let us think about our loved ones whom we will be driving and whom we may put at risk through irresponsible driving.
What else can be done to ensure that the journey and return are not associated with any unpleasant incident? Let us check when the vehicle’s technical inspection is due, top up the operating fluids and make sure that the lights are adjusted correctly. This will be particularly important after dark and when heavy rain begins to fall. It is worth setting out well rested and, before starting the journey, checking that all passengers have fastened their seat belts.
Let us also remember to take common sense and caution with us; they will be useful regardless of whether we are spending our leisure time by the water, in the mountains or in other interesting corners of our country.
