Walking bus: Children in hi vis vest walk to school

Germaine Muller borrowed yesterday, a mode of transport rather unusual for 6 children to go to school: the walking bus. Understand a walking bus. Since the beginning of the winter holidays, equipped with its fluorescent yellow safety vest, Sebastian made “the driver”. He volunteers accompanied the children on a route determined in advance. Two points of appointment are fixed, one Church Street, the other in front of the old Town Hall. The service set up by the two wheels Action Committee at several institutions, at the initiative of the town, aims to promote the smooth movement.

The same car for 500 meters is a project immediately appealed to Sebastian. “I’ve never taken the car to take my son to school Mateo says the father, green at heart. I will not overload the traffic with my car, and do not use gasoline. It’s a lifestyle. “” Not only children who came to school alone can now be under the supervision of an adult, but it also allows those who come by car to walk, do some activity. Reflective tape is a security guard for children on road.” adds Evelyn Günter, municipal councilor for youth. However, the sauce is still struggling to take. “Yesterday, I went with two children. People are not informed enough, “laments Sebastian.”Many parents have also become accustomed to taking their car to 500m,” adds Fabien Masson.

Of the 175 parents who responded to the questionnaire on travel patterns distributed ten living less than 500m from the school explaining take their car. To address the deficit popularity of walking buses, the Cadr soon organize a tour of the classes to inform students. Meanwhile, the project is emulated. The association of students of the school parents has already announced its intention to create a line that would join kindergarten to primary school. Also large sum of reflective vests are being distributed to ensure their safety.

Children protected by safety vests on way to school

Some days after the return to school of Reze, near Nantes, Julian and his friends are waiting for the bus. At first glance, nothing distinguishes the students who are preparing to ride scooters or bikes. But on 5 November, perhaps will be otherwise. All high school students using the county school transportation network will indeed wear a fluorescent yellow safety vest up and down the bus. This measure of the General Council of Loire-Atlantique is the only moment in France. Objective: improve the visibility of teenagers near the car with reflective tape, an area considered “particularly at risk.”

The reflective vest should be presented to the driver. Otherwise, sanctions “ranging from a warning to temporarily” taken. Nearly 30,000 safety vests will be distributed in the coming weeks, at the expense of the general council (60 000). The gift does not cause the enthusiasm of teenagers. “This is nonsense. It is large enough to pay attention to the cars, “Julian critical.”It’s a good idea for security, but would also impose on those who return home on foot or bike,” suggests another student. “A yellow jacket with reflective tape, it is shame, sneers a third. It will front the driver and we will remove it immediately after. “As for parents, they welcomed the initiative, but doubt its implementation.”No one can verify if they wear the vest in the street. In the car, it is not used much, “said Thierry.”The children are in danger, especially in rural areas when it is dark, insists Christiana, general secretary of the CIPF. Wearing the safety vest, it is also a matter of education. When we made it mandatory helmet on tours, there were already many skeptics. “

Road safety: Reflective tape on school bags

The Road Safety wants to make mandatory the fluorescent bands and reflective tape on children’s school bags.

Eighty-six children less than 12 years were killed on the roads of France in 2015 and 4295 were injured. Facing this poor record, the Road safety calls for a general mobilization through a new campaign “Zero children killed on the roads of France.”

Among the measures unveiled by the association to stop this mortality is the requirement to include fluorescent strips and reflective heat transfer tape on all school satchels. When night falls early, the children would be well visible at 150 meters instead of 30 meters. “With any law, safety devices would be widespread, fairly large and mostly well placed in front, behind and to the side,” said the Parisian Anne, President of the Association Road Safety.

“A third of young people killed on the journey from home to school”

This measure was inspired by the German model where 20% of the area of school backpacks is covered with reflective tape, and the schoolchildren are required to wear safety vest on way to school. The device seems to work: there are proportionately fewer children killed on German roads in France.

Philippe, the accident specialist children in accident Laboratory of Biomechanics and analysis of human behavior (Lab), “all we can do to reduce child mortality is worth taking.”Especially that “a third of young pedestrians injured or killed on the road is on the home-school journey.”

Secure management of all pedestrian crossings

The Road safety also requires a whole lot of other measures including a VAT rate of 5.5% for car seats against 20% today and generalization of pedestrian collision avoidance systems on all new vehicles.

It also wants a speed limit to 30 km/h around schools, gyms, parks and public gardens and secure management of all pedestrian crossings with zebra and a stop line one meter before passing. Also the government would give each schoolchild a reflective vest for free in order to enhance the safety awareness.

Mir slaw Szymanski of the CPP in Raciborz, autumn action of giving reflective elements, it’s tradition, the police stress that many accidents could be avoided if the participants of the event were able to take care of your safety and apply the principle of limited trust. Pedestrians, is vulnerable traffic participants. Any collision is more dangerous for them than for drivers, which protects the design of the car.

Therefore, remember that reflective element allow us to be more visible on the road, especially now, when dusk falls early – adds M. Szymanski.

Taxi companies must compensate affected in traffic accidents

The statement was made the Supreme Court to convict a company in Cucuta for damages suffered by a woman who was hit by a taxi driver in reflective vest.

On 13 March 2001 a woman on a motorcycle in the urban area of Cucuta (Norte de Santander) was hit by a taxi driver who did not respect traffic rules. In action he suffered serious injuries on his body by which had to be surgically operated. (See Fault Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court)

Because violence hit the woman had a brain trauma, injuries prevent you from doing sport, recreational activities, and even have a married life. The victim reported the driver, identified as Jose Trinidad Torres Galvez, as well as a lawsuit against Cucuta Conveyor Cooperative S.A. and Liberty Saguaros S.A.

On February 24, 2011 in court ruling civil court room Cucuta denied claims in the application, when submitting an appeal the Superior Court of the Judicial District of Cucuta who endorsed the demand for material, moral and physiological damages arising from injuries caused by indexing interests.

The taxi company disagreed and filed an extraordinary appeal to the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court. With a presentation by Judge Luis Armando Villanova Tools he reminded that taxi companies are obliged to compensate those affected by traffic accidents.

In the legal debate the arguments the taxi driver who felt that the blame was unique to the victim since he had no driving license, compulsory insurance, helmet, safety vest and driving at high speed on a path of high flow they were rejected vehicle, meanwhile the Transportation Cooperative Cucuta Ltda. Resisted requests by “lack of responsibility”, having no material or legal guardian of the taxi involved, because it did not explode and only entered the owner relationship agreement for use of its name.

Remember the Supreme Court that the contract signed between the company and the driver was responsible for the former as “watcher generating activity injury” by which is subject to reproach the fact that want to evade this legal relationship face to the court action seeking reparation for the damage caused.

For the Civil Chamber there is enough to consider that there is a direct relationship after signing the affiliation contract law. “It is a duty of care, exercise power of command, leadership and effective control of the vehicle, assuming duties of diligence”.

“The affiliation agreement through which the owner of the vehicle with reflective tape is authorized to perform the public service in the respective mode, therefore, makes the company subject of rights and duties and the burden imposed on them respond for damages are caused to third parties that are caused to third parties in the exercise of the dangerous activity that involved the mobilization of motor vehicles to satisfy the aforementioned service.”

My daily in the House are fighting to preserve freedom

This year’s second amendment, last year we approved four amendments to this Act and three the year before, so that within three years the nine amendments to this Act and the Minister in his opening speech said that officials are already hard at work on another amendment. An example of how we roll those laws and how to absorb or cannot keep ourselves when Mr. Deputy Kwela in safety vest says that for offenses is one year limitation period and we have already approved the change for two years. And how then has to confess that citizen if we do not know what we approved and that the change is one hundred per cent, from one to two years.

It’s maybe look like it, but we do every day in the Chamber of Deputies are fighting to preserve freedom. Yesterday it was the smoking ban. Here today we have two amendments, which seek greater freedom, but thus also for greater accountability. Firstly, the proposal of Mr. Deputy Junes, who proposes in accordance with a number of European countries – I read in the second reading the list of more than twenty European countries, where it tolerates low alcohol borders with cyclists in reflective clothing. Yes, this increases freedom, but it also increases the responsibility of cyclists. We as a club we support this proposal because it goes in the right direction.

The second proposal, which in turn increases the freedom and responsibility at the same time, the proposal to increase speeds on selected sections of highways. What did not support, it is the proposal of Mr. Kwela deputy. Let us put it directly: this proposal increases the risk of corruption. A mistake happens to everyone. Let us remember the fate of the previous amendment. Mr. Minister, presumably after consultation with the police, here asserted a right of veto for the Police of the Czech Republic in evaluating road construction. Government rejected most of our amendment, we launched it in order for us to focus the Senate had this bad design section gave away; the minister changed his mind and, in principle, easily passed the Senate version of the previous amendment. Today, if we approve the proposal of Mr. Deputy tow, the same course. Even if it accidentally went through, and I believe that not according to the appearance, because they acted colleagues from many clubs, and now, leaving aside any club solidarity, but when we look at the content and the proposal to increase the risk of corruption, to increase the powers of citizens taking that freedom.

I hope that the Minister will have a negative opinion that this time the police who so love – logically wants more and more powers have a veto here, here, have the right to hold driving licenses etc., but we see it in the polls. These are the things I think really that limit or restrict the freedom of each of us. It is not a technical matter. We should all consider … (The noise in the hall, Mr. Deputy waiting.) Thank you. … How often you want the rules changed. How often do we submit amendments and approve them. Because – and I do not want to talk about those who commit an offense or evade solutions offense proceedings. But if we change it three or four times a year, so we really can justly require everybody to know? To watch, if you happen Deputies and the Senate again they did not get a good idea and in March, June, September and December, four times changed the rules? I think it’s not a good way and we should, if possible, to limit the number of amendments to this Act. Over the last three years, nine novels! It’s just not normal. Eight and ninth is going, Mr. Chairman Social Committee is of course right.

So I firmly believe when we vote on the amendments that will support the camp who defend freedom and reject the camp, which disproportionately increases police powers, and not me, not to forget those reflective vests for deer. Reflective piping, reflective vests, to me, not did the word. Bad idea, bad deal. Indeed, if it declares, so I want to see the enforcement of this obligation. Not that there will be written somewhere – and not the police that will actually solve cases that threaten someone, whether that road users are a threat to himself or anyone else. Or put on some poplins journey, which very often says allocate, and there are to choose from. And he will say – but sir, yours reflective element is not as great as it should be. And the man will say: Well, it seems to me that it shines. He says: No, it does not shine. And we will be more work, because it is such an easy job, check reflective vest, it is much more difficult than being physically present, misaim camera physically in those places where really there’s any traffic problems or traffic accident. Because most: attendance is the physical presence of police officers on the road, or technical design, narrow lanes in the city, giving the islands there. What those drivers voluntarily leads to the fact that I take off my foot off the gas. And not those cameras chop ten thousand shots per day, and then created the incredible queues at the infringement proceedings. Thank you.
