Police officers and paramedics are usually the first ones to respond to emergency situations. Every second counts for these heroes, so their rides are often very fast, sometimes on the edge of the rider's and motorcycle's capability. Crossing intersections through red lights and maneuvering their way through traffic exposes them to very dangerous situations. The Slovenian Traffic Safety Agency is recognizing the importance of safety for police and paramedic forces on motorcycles. The motorcycle ride shouldn’t be subjected to compromises and there is no room for error, so every detail counts.

Jure Leben, State Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure emphasized: “Being focused on all details around them while on an urgent ride takes a lot of energy, anticipation and can be very stressful for a rider. Thanks to technology evolution and cooperation between the automotive industry and legal bodies, those noble men and women will be safer when performing their daily duties and saving lives.”

Miha Kovač, CEO of the company that invented the Smart Turn System, has pointed out the importance of proper turn signal use in traffic: “Some may not recognise the importance of proper indications and the dangers of turn signal misuse, but statistics show that turn signal misuse contributes to a similar percentage of accidents in traffic as distracted driving. In cars, we are still using a 77-year-old technology to operate turn signals and it still isn’t perfected enough so we could fully rely on the technology and the situation on motorcycles is even worse, since the indication and cancellation of turn signals on motorcycles are only manually operated on more than 90% of the motorcycles we are sharing the roads with.”

About Smart Turn System:

A young Slovenian start up company, Movalyse d.o.o., has gathered a team of experts and motorcycle enthusiasts that devote their lives to make the roads safer for riders. They've developed a special device and a very complex algorithm that allows them to fully understand motorcycle movement – and their first application of their technology is the Smart Turn System, a system for automatic cancellation of turn signals on motorcycles, that is the first credible, reliable and accurate solution without any competition in this segment. The inventors also claim they will have a lot more to offer in the future that will increase the riders safety and comfort. STS is excited to announce the new STS Referral Program.
