Phosphorescent vests for motorcyclists

The suggestion that all drivers of motorcycles, mopeds, three-wheeled and four-wheeled motorcycles wear fluorescent vests, in order to be noticed by other drivers, is submitted by the Traffic Police.

In a reply letter, to a question from the MP of the Environmentalists Giorgos Perdikis, the Traffic Police, through the competent minister, recommends that for the prevention of accidents with victims of motorcyclists all wear special vests of yellow-green color. Especially for certain categories, the Traffic Police recommends that this arrangement be mandatory. In particular, for learner drivers, delivery drivers and their passengers, the traffic police's opinion is that they must wear special fluorescent vests.

And this, according to the Traffic Police, so that they are visible on the roads and other drivers pay more attention to them. However, it is not excluded that we will see this proposal passed into law, if a member of parliament submits a law proposal or if the Ministry of Justice prepares a bill.

In the meantime, traffic complaints about parking vehicles in disabled spaces soared. While in January 35 drivers were reported for illegally occupying disabled parking spaces, in July the reports reached 435.
