Winter ice beckons avid fishermen. They can’t wait to drill a hole and catch a fish. However, ice is not the only threat. Trying to warm up, amateur anglers sometimes get burned when using gas equipment, and sometimes they are poisoned to death by carbon monoxide in a tent, as happened recently on Lake Uelgi in the Kunashak region.

 

Rescuers remind fishermen of the rules for safe winter fishing. Going for a catch, you need to take with you a fully charged mobile phone and a flashlight, a reflective vest, 2-3 hand flares, a compass. It is better to go fishing not alone, but with a friend who has been to this reservoir more than once and knows the area well. But it is better not to take children with you on a fishing trip. It’s also best to stay close to the main group of fishermen on the ice. Before using gas heating equipment, it is important to ensure that it is working properly, and you also need to regularly ventilate the tent.

 

If the weather or health has worsened, it is important to immediately leave the pond or call for help by phone 112. If you happen to get lost, it is more correct to stay on the ice, not to climb into the reeds.

If we decide to use a bicycle on public roads, we must take care of the equipment of the two-wheeler. The regulations clearly define what we must have on the bike if we want to ride it on the streets.

 

An interesting fact is that the regulations do not require cyclists to wear a protective helmet while riding. The rider’s equipment is not in any way specified by law. However, the Code clearly defines the elements with which a bicycle must be equipped.

 

Every two-wheeler traveling on public roads should be equipped with:

 

at least one effective brake;

sound signal with non-piercing sound;

at the front – at least one white or selective yellow position lamp;

at the rear – at least one red reflex reflector not shaped like a triangle;

a reflective vest;

at least one red position lamp.

If we only ride a bike during the day, we do not need to install additional lighting. The regulations allow driving without parking lights if the cyclist is only moving during the day. In the absence of any of the mandatory equipment, the bicycle driver must take into account a fine from 20 to even 500 zlotys.

 

Safer in a helmet

Although cyclists do not need to wear protective helmets, it is better to equip yourself with one for your safety. Even during a minor bump at low speed, the cyclist is exposed to danger and serious injuries. The driver of the car is protected by the body and airbags, motorcyclists also use helmets and specialist protective clothing on the road. However, the cyclist is not protected by anything. Therefore, it is better to travel with a helmet for your good.

Today is World Bicycle Day. So let’s remember what mandatory equipment it should have.

Anyone using a bicycle on the road should know that a bicycle, just like a car or any other vehicle, must meet safety requirements. It should be operational and have obligatory equipment, which should be taken into account, preferably at the stage of buying the bicycle.

Under the Road Traffic Act: a vehicle participating in traffic is to be built, equipped, and maintained in such a way that its use does not endanger the safety of its occupants or other road users, does not violate the traffic order on the road, and does not expose anyone to harm.

The bicycle should be equipped with:

at the front – at least one white or selective yellow position light (maybe flashing);

at the rear – at least one red reflex reflector, not triangular and at least one red position lamp (maybe flashing);

at least one effective brake;

with a bell or other warning signal with a non-piercing sound.

 

The bike can be equipped with:

at the front – white reflective light;

on wheels – car yellow reflectors (at least one per wheel);

on pedals – yellow reflective lights;

Continuous ring-shaped reflective stripe on both sides of the tire, or continuous ring-shaped reflective elements on the side surfaces of the wheels.

A cyclist from dusk to dawn or in a tunnel is obliged to use lights that are mandatory equipment for a bicycle. Also, he must take particular care and turn on the lights with which the bicycle is equipped (front and rear) in conditions of reduced air transparency (fog, rain, etc.).

When riding during the day, with good visibility, the position lights of the bicycle may be dismantled, while the mandatory reflector must be installed permanently.

The cyclist, helmet and reflective vest are not compulsory, but it is worth wearing them while cycling. The helmet protects your head in case of a fall, while the reflective vest increases your visibility on the road.

Detailed information on mandatory equipment, incl. You can find the bike in the regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 27 October 2016 on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment.

The company Screen Network SA is once again involved in promoting road safety, together with the Police. From May 28 to June 2, 2020, it will broadcast a spot presenting mandatory bicycle equipment on several thousand LED screens located throughout the country, including in shopping centers, gas stations, at main communication routes.

Children from Kindergarten No. 4 and 15 in Sieradz received unique reflective Christmas trees. The kids, together with the policemen and an employee of the Sieradz WORD, decorated Christmas trees with them. Reflective elements appeared instead of baubles.

 

As every year, the policemen of the Sieradz headquarters remember about the youngest inhabitants of our region. The Santa Claus joint patrol of policemen and WORD employees visited preschoolers. However, Mikołaj did not move in a sleigh, but in a police car. Thanks to the support of the Sieradz branch of the Provincial Road Traffic Center, children received gifts in the form of reflective vests and key rings.

 

The head of the road traffic department, subinsp. Grzegorz Będkowski, police preventive young asp. Bożena Grobelna and Tomasz Olejnik from the Sieradz WORD. It was also a good opportunity to popularize the knowledge of road safety among the youngest. During the conversation with the children, the rules of safe road movement were recalled. The youngest ones were made aware of the importance of wearing reflective elements, especially in the autumn and winter season, when it gets dark earlier and visibility is much worse. This unusual action brought a lot of joy and brought smiles to children’s faces.

To ride or not to ride? In the autumn and winter season, many motorcyclists ask themselves this question. When the thermometer shows only a few degrees Celsius in the plus, it is necessary to equip yourself with appropriate clothing and other useful motorcycle accessories that increase the comfort and safety of driving in difficult conditions. Rain, wind, and snow are not the only factors that make life difficult for two-wheelers. They are accompanied by temperature fluctuations, high humidity and slippery surfaces. Also, it gets dark quickly in autumn, which means that motorcyclists have to be extremely careful on the road.

On cold days, we do not have to give up the pleasure of motorcycling. Warm, waterproof clothing, a helmet with an anti-fog pinlock, decent shoes with a non-slip sole – it’s worth thinking about them when planning a late autumn trip on two wheels.

Clothing with a membrane and insulation

In autumn, it is not difficult to get wet or chill – especially if we ride a motorcycle, exposing ourselves to capricious weather. An indispensable companion of every motorcyclist is a jacket with a waterproof membrane. A model additionally equipped with a warming lining that guarantees optimal thermal conditions will be useful.

When the temperature drops dramatically, we should take special care of our hands. Fossilized fingers while driving are a great discomfort and hurt our safety: the grip of the lever deteriorates. In the motorcycle store you can find long winter gloves with a sporty, urban or tourist character. Individual pairs, apart from solid protectors and reinforcements, have a warm, pleasant to the touch lining.

The market also offers useful accessories for cold days – heated grips, heating mats and blankets for the legs, thermal inserts or warm hand muffs.

Visibility on the road

On rainy, cloudy days, motorcyclists should be extremely vigilant. And there’s nothing worse than riding with a foggy helmet. It is worth getting a pinlock shell or an anti-fog foil or a special anti-fog liquid. An additional advantage of such a fluid is that when applied to the outer layer of the visor, it acts as an “invisible wiper” reducing water settling.

Reflective elements play a huge role in maintaining road safety. Motorcycle clothing produced today usually has fluo inserts, thanks to which we are visible. Many models also have modern reflectors that are invisible at first glance and illuminate in the light of the headlights. If necessary, we can purchase a reflective vest, special self-tightening bands or stickers made of fluorescent material.
