In summer, speeding happens easily in traffic and driving style errors increase as well. Even if the police are not visible in summer traffic, it does not mean that there would be no traffic control. In addition to automated speed control and visible traffic control, the police control traffic in summer in unmarked vehicles and motorcycles to spot drivers using radar detectors, driving too close to other vehicles and overtaking dangerously.
Summer inspires some drivers to drive at excessively high speeds. Speeding is a risk factor in itself, and attempts to drive faster than other vehicles in traffic also results in other driving style related traffic violations. Typical examples include driving too close to the vehicle in front, dangerous overtaking and cutting at curves across the lane for oncoming traffic.
The police monitor driving style mainly in cars and motorcycles that are unidentifiable as police vehicles. The police equipment in them is hidden so that they look exactly like any other car or motorcycle. However, the performance of the models in use is better than that of standard family vehicles or motorcycles. In these vehicles, patrols operate in plain clothes.
These special vehicles, designed for so-called demanding driving style monitoring, are driven by specially trained police officers. These police patrols focus mainly on detecting excessive speeding and serious offences with regard to driving style. The control targets particularly drivers who knowingly strive to avoid other types of traffic control by the police and systematically violate the rules. The special police patrols drive among other traffic and usually remain unidentifiable.
For example, in both outbound and return traffic during holidays and on weekends, it is advisable to keep up with other traffic and avoid unnecessary overtaking, because the benefit from overtaking is minimal and overtaking usually only endangers traffic safety. The distance to the vehicle driving in front must be long enough to allow time to react to any disruptions in traffic without the risk of rear-end collision.
When everyone abides by the rules, everyone gets to their destination safely and if someone violates the rules, the police will intervene.
Safe summer everyone!
