According to her, there was also an employee of the city, who informed the police that they were not kicking natural gas and the day of the accident came to the technical services of the city of the city’s truck driver requesting whether he could repair the cracked oil hose.

According to the police, she was supposed to predict
The traffic police officer also came to the place, explaining to his mother that as a road user, she was supposed to predict the situation and adapt the road and road surface driving.
It was therefore decided not to officially announce this, but it was taken aback that the driver who poured the oil on the road and left was not responsible. « I expected to be at least a fine for leaving a path polluted without marking and not bothering it to put it in order, » she said.
When asked whether the driver of the road manager, ie the city, identified and did not answer how he addressed the situation.
Since the mother’s mother did not officially report the event, the police did not even deal with her.
« There was no traffic accident or a damage event documented on the spot, as there was no injury to property damage, » informed Trenčín regional police spokeswoman Petra Klenková.
Was also wrong with a car driver who polluted the road
Traffic analyst Jozef Drahovský confirmed that even if the problem was caused by the driver of the car that polluted the road, all drivers, including cyclists, are obliged to comply with the rules of road traffic and their driving, especially the speed, to adapt the condition and nature of the road.
« If this is not the case, in the case of a person who already has an identity card, his legal representative is responsible for any injury, » he explained.
However, he also recalled the violation of the rules by the truck driver. « Anyone who pollutes the road is obliged to remove this pollution immediately. If he cannot do so, he must mark the place and inform the road manager. If he hasn’t done it, he may face a fine, » Drahovský explained.
He added that if the road administrator received a notice of pollution of the road in one day, the next day he was to remove it. If he did not do so, he is also guilty.
The expert pointed out that children should not drive alone on the road and when they are accompanied by parents, they should predict the traffic situation.
« Children under ten years of age, accompanied, are allowed to ride the sidewalks unless they endanger pedestrians, » he recommended.
As in similar cases to proceed properly, it depends on the type of event. If there is no injury, it is possible to talk about a damage event that is not necessary to call the police. However, if there is an injury or death, this is a traffic accident and the participants are obliged to contact the police.
« In such cases, I recommend taking pictures of details and overall view of the situation with traffic signs, calling the police and an ambulance and an ambulance, » explained the traffic analyst.
