Donegal Gardaí have reminded pedestrians and cyclists that it’s time to ‘dig out the high-vis’ as the nights get longer.
After the clocks went back one hour yesterday, the evenings are now getting much darker and as winter approaches.
Please remember when out walking, cycling or running that although you can see the traffic, that the drivers may not always see you,” a garda spokesperson said.
“The time has come to dig out the hi-vis vests, armbands and jackets and ensure that when you are going out on or near a public road, that you are highly visible at all times! Please check that your bicycle lights are working before going for a cycle.”
Motorists are also urged to ensure that the lights on your car, motorcycle, tractor, van etc. are all in good working order. For those who have trailers, please ensure that lights and reflectors are all in place and that they are in good working condition. Be safe and be seen.
Gardaí have also asked members of the public not to forget to check in on elderly/vulnerable neighbours or friends to ensure that they are safe and well.
