Poland:
motorcyclists and
police officers
together
Police traffic officers from Wodzislaw (Slaskie region)
took part in a road safety initiative recently. The initiative
was directed at car drivers, encouraging them to
“Look in the mirrors – motorcyclists are everywhere”.
Officers stopped vehicles, and motorcyclists appealed
to drivers about paying more attention on the roads.
Motorcyclists offered some gifts for drivers who supported
the action.
Motorcycle numbers are growing every year in Poland,
but safety remains a concern. Riders complain that other
vehicle drivers do not look too often in mirrors, which can
of course spell danger for the two-wheel drivers. The main
aim of this action was raising awareness, leading to better
understanding, better mutual respect and to better safety
on the roads.
