Common mistakes about wearing reflective material.

Even after the mandatory use of reflective material for pedestrians for a year, many people still make mistakes in when and which reflective material to use. Now, some of the most common mistakes have been correctly selected.

Mistake 1: The reflective element only needs to be worn in the dark.

The law states that pedestrians must have reflective material outside the village to reduce visibility, for example, after dark, and in many other situations. For example, if it is dark, it will be very cloudy, with fog, heavy rain or heavy snow.

Mistake 2: Components with strong fluorescent colors will replace reflective material.

This is not the case. Strong bright colors such as yellow, white, red or green can be clearly seen from a long distance, but unless the reflective material can also reflect light in a prescribed way, these material cannot be used alone. Of course, you can have them, but you can supplement them with real reflective material.

Mistake 3: It is enough to use flashlights, headlights, bicycles or illuminated telephone lights instead of reflective material.

Again, this is a misunderstanding. A flashlight can help you see better in the dark. However, it cannot replace reflective material. Likewise, it is necessary to incorporate reflective material, which cannot actively emit light, but can reflect well in different types of lamps.

In conclusion

Pay attention to yourself and don’t underestimate the role of reflective material. As the first number shows, the reflective material of pedestrians are meaningful. If we can provide you with better numbers within a year to reduce the number of pedestrian accidents, we will be very happy.
