When we then put the tape driver suddenly started giving signs of a change of direction and was able to even slow down. That’s because of us known much earlier, “says the pastor.

 

Reflective tape will give out and the police. “Novella we while allowing to fine pedestrians without reflective elements fine, but rather we are to make the police pedestrians sharply. In practice, it might look as though a police patrol that the road outside the village at night sees a man without a reflective tape, for him to stop, speaks to him and gives him a tape, “says the chief of traffic police Tomas.

The new humanitarian project American Angela Luna combines functional design and assist refugees. Girl invented a coat, from which over time can become a tent. Clothing is made of durable reflective materials and takes into account the needs of the wearer.

 

“I watched the video, which was at the article on refugees. The journalist described how, together with smugglers middle of the night stuck on a ship full of people. The motor broke down and they were trapped in the middle of the ocean. At that moment I thought that if those people had reflective vests, it would be much easier to find, “says fashion designer Angela Luna.

 

The refugee crisis has hit her so much that she decided to create clothing that could help people in need. “I had to do because a lot of searches try a lot of what can be and what not.

Reflective vest as a protest of Bus drivers

Jobson support the so-called challenge today express bus drivers across the country. Politicians Saying: We have enough competition at the low price; we do not like conditions in public transport. Terms of contracts is leading to low wages drivers.

Dozens of drivers in the Liberec region sat down today to call for their buses in a reflective vest. Politicians thus sati we have enough competition at the low price; we do not like conditions in public transport.

 

The orange and yellow vests rode today on the roads, most bus drivers from bus line. The local trade unionists in late September announced a strike alert and called for the fight against dumping prices in public transport and low wages drivers. If the problem does not begin within a month to act are ready to go on strike.

 

At the same time today, trade unionists brought to the Ministry of Transport Materials for the tender for bus services in the Hradec Kralove Region with a request to make the tenders were more taken into account other parameters, not just the lowest price. “In all those of fascicles nothing about the chauffeur,” said the chairman of basic trade union bus line George kitchenette. According to him, today’s protest orange safety vests supported the 4000 chauffeurs from across the country.

 

Unions protest in accordance with kitchenettes pushing for the creation of a working group in cooperation with the regions and the government to develop a uniform methodology by which would then list each regional competition for public bus transport. The tenders would be one of the key conditions of compliance with the minimum wage for drivers. The ministry submitted, inter alia, call to the tenders was taken into account several parameters other than low price.

 

This corresponds to 100 crowns per hour. Maybe bus drivers taken by The kitchens now 72 crowns per hour, while a monthly earn about 22 000 to 23 000 Crowns gross, but only at the cost of tens of hours of overtime.

 

According to the survey, ČTK wages for drivers in most transport companies in the Czech Republic under the average wage. The unions demand a revision of contracts, where the sole criterion of the lowest price and the urging dialogue at the level of the union, regional authorities and company management.

 

I can now choose the region by criteria other than price, Transport Ministry spokesman Tomas. An adjustment methodology tenders, the ministry will be representatives of trade unions to discuss further. But he also said that it is the Ministry of Transport, who sets specific tenders for the operation of its bus lines, but the region.

 

In addition to the Ministry of Transport unions intend to reach out and Regional Development Ministry, which is in charge of the tender, adding a kitchen. Eyesore drivers in yellow vest are particularly tender for public bus transport, which in September announced the Hradec Kralove region.

 

“But nowhere do not talk about how many people have driver minimum wage. There was the fact that we wages for some 120 crowns, which I think is outrageous. Ceiling someone that you can earn just enough, but not to think about that cannot go home for beggars cane, it seems to me from councilors from the Hradec Kralove region as very arrogant, “he added.

Walkers compulsory to wear reflective vests

You live in a village where public lighting is not working or frequently move on foot in places where there is reduced visibility? Then, prepare your wallet. Transport Ministry wants to pedestrians is instructed to wear reflective vests or at least clothing with reflective elements.

 

“Especially in reduced visibility significantly shortens the distance at which a driver is able to spot pedestrians moving without reflectors on the road, which leads to accidents, often fatal,” said the office of Minister Anthony in the explanatory memorandum to its proposal.

 

The Ministry proposes that pedestrians wear reflective elements on clothing, in a situation where they will go by road or other public road without lights and in poor visibility. “Reduced visibility concerns in particular dawn, dusk and night, during the day, especially fog and heavy rain,” he says.

 

Acquisition costs are not reflective elements according to the ministry too high. “Given that it does not provide a detailed specification properties (dimensions, material) nor the location of the reflective elements for clothes (only general requirement for visibility on the part of other road users), these costs will on the part of pedestrians relatively low (cost of purchase reflective tape on the sleeve of about thirty to forty crowns per pedestrian) and essentially disposable, “says the ministry. These costs may be further lower in view of the fact that in particular sportswear already in itself often has an integrated reflective element, logos, strips and the like.

 

Reflective vests and sleeves are useful while a man will have to carry in a backpack or bag almost always. At least it is clear from the statement of the Ministry: “The above acquisition costs reflective element will have potentially give each pedestrian as they can get into a situation where it will be obliged to use.” On the other hand, in areas with dense buildings, it is possible to calculate the existence of sidewalks and public lighting, which will be obliged to have a reflective element, so this option is definitely not an area, for example, the obligation to wear after dark in cities reflective elements, office supplies.

 

 

 

Police handed out to drivers reflective vests

Kutenai policemen joined the action police headquarters, which is aimed at increasing visibility for motorists. Going to the place where Tributaries and the town are as part of preventive controls traffic on the road between the villages.

A joint preventive action of the Police and the Czech Insurers’ Bureau not only aims to remind drivers that obligation, but also to draw attention to the safety of the entire crew vehicles and vehicles equipped with reflective safety vest passenger.

 

Reduced visibility when road users are clearly not recognize vehicles, people, animals or objects on the road from dusk to dawn, fog, snow or heavy rain is a moment when there are accidents often with tragic consequences for health and life.

 

Drivers and cyclists have a legal duty to shine. Pedestrians then its visibility can greatly increase the use of reflective or fluorescent clothing parts and accessories. While pedestrian dressed in dark clothing that is visible to the driver at only 18 meters road user reflective clothing is visible up to 200 meters. Room for maneuver to the driver in this case is considerably higher and the likelihood of a pedestrian impact is significantly reduced.
