. the road law

In my point of view, the new road law can be considered by interesting question for whole society. Slovakia belongs to many European countries, which took the new road law in recent period. New rules came into force on Slovakia’s roads on February 1 with the primary goal of reducing the country’s high rate of accidents. It is necessary to say, that the Slovak republic together with Romania were the only two EU countries, that did not change valid road law for many years. One of the most important results, why we have the new rule is that Slovakia committed to the European Union to reduce the number of people killed in road accidents. As for the most significant changes, taken by this law, e.g.: the speed limit in towns and villages has been lowered to 50 kilometres per hour, headlight use is required year-round, cyclists must now wear protective helmets when riding outside villages and children under 15 must wear a helmet at all times while cycling, even in towns and villages. When there is low visibility, both pedestrians and cyclists should wear reflective clothing so that drivers can spot them more easily. In my opinion, the development of road traffic requires apply these new rules in practice and also the tactfulness between all participans of society in our home country.
