Category: high visibility vest

The yellow vest is soon obligatory for delivery men!

Like motorists, drivers of a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle will be required to wear a high visibility vest when traveling.

As of January 1, 2016, all drivers of a motor vehicle with two or three wheels (motorcycle, scooter …) or a motor quadricycle not bodied must have a high visibility vest commonly known as “yellow vest “. Professionals who use these means of locomotion in the course of their work (couriers, delivery men …) are no exception to the rule. Indeed, they must have this vest on them or in a storage of their vehicle (net, trunk …). In addition, they must wear it before leaving their vehicle in case of immobilization on the roadway or its surroundings following an emergency stop.

And be careful, the driver who does not respect these new obligations may be penalized. The non-possession of the reflective clothing will be liable to a fine of € 11 (up to € 38) while forgetting to wear the safety vest when getting off the vehicle following a stop emergency will be sanctioned by a fine of 135 € (up to 750 €).

However, by exception, the police court may decide to charge the employer the payment of fines. In fact, given the circumstances and working conditions of the driver (the pressure exerted by the employer to shorten delivery times, for example), the fine may be paid, in whole or in part, by the employer. even if he was summoned to the hearing. Be careful therefore to provide your motorcycle two-wheelers with a safety vest from next year!

The best Reflective school in Lesser Poland

Primary students can be proud of themselves. They not only know how to safely navigate after dark, to be visible on the road with the high visibility vest, but also to win the title of the best “Reflective School” in the entire province.

 

We are pleased with the victory in the competition and at the same time, we are proud that we have made a brick to improve the safety on the way to and from school – says Megara from the University. Students from September to December under the supervision of police officers learned the rules of safety on the road. They received reflective vests and bands to be even more visible after dark. They took part in the art competition and the safety tournament.

 

One of the most spectacular actions of the primary school was the march through the most frequented streets. The group was in a colorful procession, carrying banners with slogans encouraging wearing reflective clothing. All participants in the happening were dressed in reflective vests. The prize for the best school in the region was money for the purchase of teaching materials. In addition, children received material prizes, as well as certificates confirming the school’s activity in the area of caring for the safety of students on their way to school.

Are you threatened with bad reflective jacket

Up to 90 percent of reflective vests for motorists sold on our market do not meet European standards. These, for example, indicate how much reflective elements on the vests must reflect the light, and what dimensions such elements must at least have. Motorists can get a fine of up to 2,000 crowns, but more importantly, in case of road problems you will be much less visible in such a vest.

 

However, according to the Minister of Transport, Dana, it is not necessary to change the current vests, because the new standard only applies to newly manufactured products. Only drivers who do not find any label or certification on the jacket should change it.

 

If they have a certified vest in the car, they can be quiet. It is more about looking good at purchasing a new vest, which we can change for example as lost or damaged. Some technical inspection stations, however, do not give technical advice to drivers if the vest is not in accordance with the latest standards. At first glance, you do not know both jackets, but the analyzes made by one of the distributors show great differences. The uncertified one usually has a reflective surface area smaller than the standard, and most of the light reflects at least.

 

“The biggest impact this has on the final consumer, the motorist, is not so visible,” said one of the distributors Michal. Distributor estimates that vests that do not meet valid standards are up to 90 percent. Of course, they are also making money here. A vest that has not passed a compulsory certification in a test room is cheaper, up to 40%.

 

The problem is that when the product enters the market, the state is not supposed to intervene. The manufacturer himself sends a batch of vest for testing, and if he passes, he gets the certification with which he then sells the safety vest. According to ÚAMK’s assistant service, it is up to him to make the series honestly or if some vests are cheated. Control is only possible when the vests are on the market. However, now when shortcomings occur, the guilty may face up to a million fines.

 

Warning vests that do not give the warning to other drivers do not, according to the Ministry of Transport in the car, what to do. “If the product does not comply with the mandatory safety requirements and still claims that it may be obligatory, then it would be deceiving the customer,” Tomas Nevoid, spokesman for the Ministry of Transport, told TV Nova. For a deceptive advertisement, a fine of up to 5 million crowns may be imposed.

 

Moreover, if the vest does not have the right reflective elements, it is dangerous and the manufacturer has to download it. Knowing the safety eyewitness with the naked eye is complex; people are relying on labels as well as information that the vest is intended for mandatory equipment. Even if you have the right vest in the Czech Republic, you can still get a fine abroad. “There is one possible collision, and that is the green color used by German police for their vests,” IAM spokesperson explained.

 

In addition, another hitch is in the number of vest. In the Czech Republic, the law prescribes the vest one, in France, Italy, Hungary or, in Croatia, it is mandatory for all passengers. Fines for missing vests go up to thousands of crowns. Although in the Czech Republic the high visibility vest is only one mandatory, if you get out of the car on the road in low visibility, you have to have reflective elements, at that moment the law is for you as a pedestrian.

 

The yellow safety vest soon extended to 2 wheels

As of January 1, 2016, the retro-reflective or high-visibility safety vest becomes mandatory for motorcycles and scooters. The yellow vest becomes mandatory for motor vehicles with 2 and 3 wheels, and 4 non-body wheels, as well as for motorists. The government has finally decided after having made the wind vane on the subject for years!

 

In fact, the wearing of the retro reflective safety vest was to be compulsory at the beginning of 2013 by all drivers or passengers of a motorcycle, of a cylinder capacity greater than 125 cm3 or of a vehicle of category L5e with a power greater than 15 kW. Repealed from its entry into force in favor of a simple recommendation to wear a vest, the Inter-ministerial Committee on Road Safety has decided to go backwards.

 

A decree and a decree have just extended the requirements for the possession and wearing of a high-visibility reflective vest by the drivers of these vehicles (1). The wearing of the vest was previously applicable to motorists, and will be extended to the drivers of a motor vehicle with 2 or 3 wheels (motorcycle, scooter …), or a motor quadricycle not bodied (for example a quad ) from 1 January 2016 as soon as they have to leave the broken down vehicle. They will have to dispose of them or storage of their vehicle (net, trunk …) and wear it when they get off their vehicle after an emergency stop, to improve their visibility, as for the motorists.

 

Compliance with this obligation, provided for in the Highway Code (2), may be controlled by the police and sanctioned in case:

Non-detention by a 1st class offense (11 Euros for the fixed fine),

Non-wearing of the high visibility vest following an emergency is stop by a violation of 4th class.

 

First-graders receive warning safety vests

Menden explained to the first-graders the importance of warning safety vests. “You need them to be protected so you can be seen by cars,” Grebe explained to the excitedly listening children.

 

It was very important to wear the vest over the school satchel, added Jensen. Students from the second class sang songs during the event and wore their warning vests because, according to Rector Stephanie Bachmann, they “should serve as a model for the younger pupils”. Grebe presented the effect of the high visibility vest to the children by illuminating the dark-clad Mayor Mathias Eiders (SPD) and the second-grader Tristan in his safety vest with a flashlight.

 

The children were waiting for their safety vests at the end of the event. The six-year-old Lines were very happy about the gift and will continue to wear it in the future “because the vest is so beautiful.”

 

“The goal is to encourage the children to go to school even without parents with the waistcoat,” said Eiders. The parents had to stand behind them and make sure that their children are carrying the West, Gruber emphasized. At further schools in Han. Menden, Sheen and Unterberg, the West is still to be distributed. The first years of the Gottingen have been visible since Friday. Alexander Regain, deputy head of Fogelman in Gottingen, handed over 100 safety reflective vest in owl shape.

 

How to properly set the lights in the car

With fast dusk and limited visibility, driving in the autumn and winter time requires more attention and skill behind the wheel. A high visibility vest can enhance the bright can keep you safer. In front of us is increased traffic on the roads due to Christmas and New Year holidays and trips to the holidays.

 

Remembering your own safety and other road users, pay attention to the state of the lights in our vehicles:

– The driver must always have lights turned on – according to the road conditions

– Lamp shades should be clean

– The lights must be set correctly – otherwise they will light up too close or dazzle other drivers

– The lights are always replaced after replacing the bulb, reflector, safety vest, cullet, repairing the suspension. We recommend using incandescent lamps approved by approved manufacturers – do not install LEDs and xenon bulb substitutes.

– If the reflector or diffuser is frayed and the light is shining poorly or the beam is blurred, it is safer to replace the reflector with a new one.

 

– Remember that most of the lights in vehicles at night do not guarantee sufficient illumination of the road, because the range of correctly positioned lights is between 20 m and 70 m on the left and rarely exceeds 100 m on the right. It is worth remembering during the overtaking maneuver.

– When driving at dusk, with the passing beam, be careful and safe, which is often well below the maximum allowed. The light of our car may be much weaker than other cars, sometimes for our own safety we should go slower than others.

 

– Adjust the speed also on the corners – the passing lights are asymmetrical, so when turning the corner is much better lit the turn to the right, and at the turn to the left the road is lighted closer and we are much dazzle

– We appeal to pedestrians to use proven reflective surfaces as large as possible, and placed low, reflective bands on their feet. Attested reflective vests are best seen. The fact that pedestrians see the car lights does not mean that the driver sees the pedestrian – it is safer to go down the road.

 

 

Night tram ride without a destination

Almost all cities with tram lines organize events for fans of these rail vehicles. Elblag also has its enthusiasts who meet to make a tour of the city at night by tram.

 

The Elblag City Lovers Club has been operating since 2013. At that time, members in reflective vest began to collect tickets, drivers, timers, tables and timetables. These memorabilia could be seen a year ago at an exhibition organized on a tram in the Old Town. Their passion is to infect others, so on the night of 22-23 August they organized a tram ride through the city. The event was open and everyone could take part. The club announced it on their Facebook profile.

 

On the journey of the GT6-243 wagon, not only Elblag but also Gdansk and Germany did not go. More than 20 people stared at the city by tram pavement on a daily unused route. The ride started at. 23.40 And ended at 3.30. Previously the wagon had to be rented, and the cost per person was 35 zlotys. The organizers have prepared special tickets and direction boards to highlight the nature of the event. At the selected stops the participants went out to take a photo of themselves. Safety was also taken care of: the group was dressed in reflective safety vests, and each of them was supervised.

 

– Passers-by reacted very enthusiastically, they took pictures with us, we sang someone’s birthday “One hundred years” – says amused 16-year-old Pewee, a member of the Club. – We also met a police patrol who was a little surprised. The idea of organizing the Tramway Night was invented, “he continues. – We kept the spirit of the party, sang the song. In all Polish cities, where trams are, I have friends – thanks to trips and integration. Now I’m going to a mechanical college. What will later, I do not know, but I see myself in the world of trams?

 

“My family is working on the railroad, but I, as a toddler, was afraid to ride a railroad,” says Magdalena, who took part in a Thursday tram ride. – Later I had to overcome and not enough that I convinced it and I was fascinated. Then the first place was for me, and now there are trams. I’m going from September to train for a typewriter on a racetrack, though I would prefer a tram. I encourage all girls – interesting, because it’s really cool. I hope elbow-teammates will come up with such action more than once.

 

The City of Lovers of Urban Communication in high visibility vest has plans for a new Tram Nights. The exact date is not yet known. Tram enthusiasts want to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the GT6 and 5N wagons in our city and the 10th anniversary. They also want to ride the oldest 401 wagon on the loop at the General, because soon will be the 10th anniversary of the track on this street.

Reflective jacket is the second backbone of motorcyclist

The reflective jacket is our second backbone, so on a motorcycle I always accompany me practically, even if my ride ends 2km. The jacket is available in several color variants. We chose white with blue and black inserts.

The jacket was made of polyester 500D and also reinforced with Durian and R-tech material. Such a mixture of materials directly affects the comfort we feel. Nothing blocks our freedom, we have a full range of movement, and additional adjustments on the waist and on the sleeves allow you to fit the jacket to our silhouette (also after removing the napkin and rainbow membrane).

Our touring set ran in full sun on the Suzuki Bandit 1250, experienced the rain and wind on the Triumph Tiger 800 Rx and also a bit of sand on the Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin. In each of these conditions, Mica was able to manage. The inside was nice all the time. The wind did not have access to me; the rain did not end up with wet hands. And hot days?

On the heat we have a special main ventilation panel in Area jacket – sewn from a thick 3D mesh. After removing a special tongue, we see a few inches wide of the ventilation belt, which extends from our waist, across the chest at the end of the neck. This is the main ventilation that lets cool air into the inside of the jacket and distributes the interior. In addition, we also have two vents under the armpits.

But how does it work when the temperature exceeds 30 ° C? The jacket without the napkin gets very light and pleasant, while driving we feel like the cooler air enters the “ventilation chimney” – but there is no charm, ventilation requires movement. While standing 5 minutes in the red light, the heat coming from the sky reaches us. All you have to do is move on to become more enjoyable again. This is not a super-hip-chic t-shirt jacket, but no mesh jacket will give us such a Safety certified by elbows and shoulders, as well as R-tech reinforcements. On the back we have a pocket to which to put a back protector – because unfortunately this manufacturer does not add as standard.

This is one of Mica’s main assumptions – high visibility vest is greater security. That is why both the jacket and trousers have a large number of reflective panels made of high quality materials. However, if it is not enough for you – you can buy a dedicated vest and special light on the back of the LED technology. Once you’ve set it all up, you become more visible than a Christmas tree full of Christmas

The trousers are built like a jacket, but have a better waterproof membrane. It is also worth noting the reinforcement on the lower leg (more resistant to abrasive properties of the asphalt) and certified knee pads. At our disposal we have two waterproof pockets zippered, and two large pockets on the thighs, which we will put our daily supply of souvenirs from wilderness)

There are two side panels for ventilation and a special panel around the knees. When they are opened in the middle, there is a wave of cooler air. However, as it turns out – further pulling the buckle on the knees transforms trousers into a set of short tourist gates. In fast and efficient way with motorcycling we can go to explore the surrounding ruins, rocks and folklore.

Atom is a glove for extremely bad weather, and their construction suggests a warm ride. In practice it is even better where the warmed up gloves go, where pulls out his secret weapon – a rechargeable battery system.

Of course, the safety vests are obviously thicker than the summer ones and do not have ventilation, but their use does not mean that we are completely separated from the machine and lose our sense of control. Already during the first tour we get used to their thickness and easily handle the gas and brake and clutch levers.

The travel set from is not one of the cheapest and simplest – it is aimed at a specific audience that values comfort, comfort and safety without having to bother with details.

Police handing out reflective vests instead of fines

The basic rules of the road “safety vest – see and be seen,” warned the driver Hoar police during Thursday’s pre-emptive action.
