Almost a third of Latvia's residents do not wear pedestrian reflectors on the street at all, or use them only in particular situations. This is the finding of a survey conducted in October by the insurance company Balta.

Reflectors are reflective items that pedestrians wear so that other road users can see them more easily. The survey results suggest that a considerable share of the population has not made using them a regular habit.

The source does not provide further details on the survey's methodology, the number of respondents or exact figures, so the only conclusion reported here is the main one: nearly a third of those surveyed either do not use reflectors or use them only occasionally.
