Miss Switzerland in reflective clothing for road safety

Switzerland Work prevention takes on glamorous accents in the canton.

To show that you can combine style and security by making yourself visible in traffic, Miss Switzerland 2016 Lauriane Sallin marched on Saturday in a design dress with reflective material patterns.

Visible at 140 meters

The flyer particularly calls for pedestrians and cyclists to wear reflective clothing rather than dark clothes. This makes it possible to be located at more than 140 meters instead of 25 meters. It should not be visible on one side, but at 360 degrees.

 

Seek eye contact with other users before maneuvering to avoid accidents. Cyclists should not forget to turn on the headlights according to the visibility conditions. And they must clearly indicate the changes of direction.

 

Advice is also given to motorcyclists and motorists, such as wearing a safety vest, paying attention to blind spots, and keeping headlights, windows and mirrors clean. And for all users: avoid being distracted by the mobile phone.

Prevention campaign with reflective vest for safety

New project with reflective fabric for car

Is there any ways that drivers can see people clearly even they are not wearing safety vest. What if there was a way to make the transparent cockpit? This is the project that has studied Japanese researchers.

 

That would greatly facilitate accidents! At present, the vision of the driver’s field is restricted by the vehicle doors, the back seat and all body parts. In the future, the driver could get an unobstructed 360-degree view.

 

An augmented reality device was developed by students of design department at Keio University. For a complete field of vision behind the vehicle, the students set a camera on the back of the car. Thereof is connected to a computer, which also has coupling a projector. The captured image is then projected against a mirror and then reflected on the back seat. The latter has indeed a Reflective fabric.

 

There are at present vehicles with a trunk on board camera projecting the image on a screen on the dashboard. This new experience, however, aims at providing a display full size of the car environment. The rear seats disappear so completely.

 

Certainly, unless the rear passengers are dressed in the same fabric, they will hide the reflective material part, but a single device can be set up on the side doors, front or rear, to ignore the blind spots.

in the winter, they stand out for their reflective material

“One of the milder winters we have experienced in France.” That’s a refrain that keeps coming up in recent weeks. In both heady and intoxicating for a cyclist in reflective vest, it’s happy to give up chocolate. Usually in keeping with the period, these dishes are already replaced by the energy bar, energy drink and asphalt. For us cyclists’ friends, partying resumes differently. In our famous new regions, temperatures do not climb all the same. The parallel is simple and Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy, the trend is heavy sprinter André. The wind, humidity reign, he does not do well out. “This is the North” as well said the late Michel. But the passion remains stronger when you think to hedge. Let them!

 

Aesthetically, because even the winter everyone wants to be beautiful on the bike, this accessory is simply elegant. No more black or plain white classic, bicolor Castelli goes with the combination of black and gray, all identified by the red zippers and borders. The discrete seams and inscriptions “Castelli” blend perfectly with a well finished product.

 

For if appearance is important, comfort and performance are more. These leggings are certainly bicolor, but are mostly bi-material. We said: right now, the roads are wet. Alone or in a pack, each spin is synonymous with splashes coming wet our ankles. To remedy this, Castelli cleverly thought of installing a gray waterproof reflective material to keep us dry. The result is the appointment because we have felt no moisture in the ankles during our tests.

 

Nevertheless, we must admit that this textile, stiffer than, not as nice as the black top leggings. Difficult when it is winter Flex waterproof with a soft inner fleece. Indeed, the waterproof fabric covers only the ankle. The entire joint is she wrapped the soft fabric, comfortable to the point of becoming a second skin. Thus, the bending is done without gene when pedaling cycle. Furthermore, this part waterproof fabric and the holding strips Giro3 the top of the pad ensures impeccable maintenance, even proof terrible Hell of the North pavers. At the time of coating the product, the zipper located on the outside of the ankle makes it easier and compensates the rigidity of the fabric. The performance gain of the pad thus alters its comfort. Similarly, the main function of protection from the cold is accomplished.

 

Another advantage is to signify security side. In this time, its gray, the rain comes sometimes weaken the visibility and brightness down quickly in the afternoon. It is therefore important for us cyclists, to better inform us of other road users. We all agree: a lighting kit disfigures our beautiful bikes. The manufacturer has embedded in the waterproof fabric of fine crystals making the reflective fabric.

 

In summary, leggings are effective, intelligent and beautiful. But who says high-end product, says very high price. Their price varies between 80 and 90 Euros depending traders and are available in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL). In this regard, we recommend carefully check the size guide. To conclude, we cannot assure that: the leggings are pledges of satisfactions.

Yellow vest, red triangle fined station

As of today, each motorist must have his vehicle in a car yellow reflective vest and warning triangle. It is the law that requires it. If the equipment fails the constabulary can administer a fine of € 135, reduced to € 90 if paid on or within three days.

Cyclists that circulate outside the city at night or in bad weather conditions should in turn take their vest under penalty of a fine receive € 35 (€ 22 if paid within two weeks). Oddly, bikers and scooters have no particular obligation, even if wearing the vest is recommended.

 

If the need to own this equipment is known to all, yet its use remains surrounded by shadows. “We need to be smart and logical proof, says Captain Thierry DAVAUT, commander of the squadron departmental road safety Haute-Garonne. The vest, leave it in the cabin, in order to put before exiting the vehicle. “Thomas of Road Safety, said:” We see many people who put it on the seat back. Best avoided: the cars are increasingly equipped with side airbags at the sides of the seat: the vests can interfere when they break. “As for the triangle, the best place is the trunk:” If possible, not under a ton of bags, “continues the policeman, an ironic strand.

 

Moreover, it is not necessary to multiply the jackets for each vehicle occupant. One is enough. According to the Road Safety, the first returns seem to attest that drivers are massively equipped. In general, products sold in supermarkets, service stations, garages are quite reliable. Mistrust but if you buy on a market, or on the street.

Police: “We will continue to inform many”

 

On Monday, the DAVAUT captain, head of the departmental squadron road safety Haute-Garonne conducting a prevention campaign (and a few safety vests distribution) in Saint-Gaudens, gentle way to remind motorists the maturity date. But he has planned today to pass the sanction after prevention? There are no plans for now to organize traffic controls on this point in particular … unless instructed otherwise by the Ministry, meanwhile, “the officer nuance.” Perhaps we will be more severe, because now we have the possibility of violators fined. But we will not fall on the backs of motorists, however. We will also continue our mission of information. I think people have not yet understood all about using the vest and triangles. ”

In search of the lost triangle

 

For taxes, telephone, electricity, there is debit. A major invention for all giddy this world… including me. Yes but now, for the yellow vest and warning triangle, I have not received automatic parcel. So yesterday it was necessary go in search of a triangle with the standards. A triangle only, because for the vest, no problem: it floats in my astronomical quantities Carrefour gondola. This brave Karl Lagerfeld who played top model for the country Road Safety, would he not had the expected impact?

 

Anyway, I’m here for triangles. I walk up the aisle; I inspect right and left nothing. Oh yes, a salesman. ” We do more since June. “” Gosh! “” We receive some occasionally. It is the supplier, which is not enough. “No problem, I go to the next green light.”Ooh, we got 200 today and they left in an hour! “Well. Call next to the job, they should have it. It’s not worth it, they do not have, “says my colleague who visited it between noon and two. He finally was able to get one through a friend who went to get a snack. My word, you have to have sacred networks for tracking down this thing. I decided as a last resort to stop at a Shell station. “We did have seven or eight, but they are all gone. See tomorrow. “Yes, that’s right, and at the same time I will see my fine of 90 € … The phone cut my grumbling in flight. Oh by the way, I’ve taken a triangle with reflective tape out of the office. “It’s still good to have an automatic brain at home.
