Traffic police out in force for last weekend of summer holidays

Traffic police are out in force around the Czech Republic as the last weekend of summer holidays, which tends to entail more accidents, comes to a close. 13 people lost their lives in automobile-related accidents in 2008. Police are therefore concentrating on sections of roads that have shown higher incidence of accidents over the last two years, and will be cracking down on speed and safety regulations. Schools in the Czech Republic open September 1.
