Katowice police launch sobriety checks and road safety campaigns

Police in Katowice have launched a series of road safety operations, including the “Trzeźwość” (Sobriety) campaign. This initiative involves intensified sobriety and drug testing at multiple locations throughout the city to prevent impaired driving and improve road safety.

In a related educational effort titled “Slow down before it is too late,” authorities organized practical safety lessons for drivers stopped during inspections. These exercises included simulated medical assistance for accident victims, CPR training, and obstacle courses designed to demonstrate the impact of alcohol on perception and motor coordination. The program also featured demonstrations of firefighting equipment and railway safety protocols to illustrate the complexities of emergency responses to road accidents.
