A dark area, a police car with lights on, and in the distance an invisible group of children. This was the experiment prepared by police officers from the Swanky road route.
The police are not stopping to encourage pedestrians to wear flares. Today (9 March), the police organized an experiment showing how people using reflective vests are visible and those who do not have such elements. The experiment was attended by children and youth after finished sports activities at Primary School No. 5.
- Today we organize activities under the name "Reflective experiment." We want to show the invited sports group, as it actually looks pedestrian with reflections and without - informed asp. Irene's Nudnik at the Swanky police.
During the experiment, in the dark region of Primary School No. 5, a police car with lights turned on was set, and two children were ahead of them in the distance, which despite the light from the car headlights was invisible. Their postures could be noticed when they approached a distance of about 30 meters.
Moments later, another two children entered the road with reflective tapes on their clothing. Although the reflective elements were small, they were visible from a distance - even from a distance of over 100 meters. Children who put on reflective vests were the most visible.
- We want to encourage pedestrians to use reflective elements also in built-up areas, because, as we can see here, there are also less-lit places - said asp.
In the end, the policemen gave out reflective elements to everyone who enjoyed great interest. This shows that the police experiment has had the desired effect and the people observing it has seen how important the reflective materials are for their safety.
