“This may seem a novel initiative but is best organized to raise awareness.” Thus, Monday, November 21, from 17 to 19 hours, the assistant to the sustainable development of Fourmies, Martine Roux gives Does appointments you to bicycle owners to control their lighting, as part of a partnership between the city and the right cycling Association (VTOL): ” It’s a fact: too many of our fellow citizens drive without lights, especially young people. It’s very dangerous. Especially when the days get shorter and it’s dark in 17 hours. “Another strong argument,” less than 10% of bike trips are at night but they cause 21% of fatal accidents.”

 

Make mark his bike for 5 €

That day, the theater of the court Jean, this “Operation lighting and marking bicycles against theft” will remember what is required and recommended. Lights, reflectors, reflective vest, reflectors … professionals will be present to advise “to be visible bike but distribute lighting accessories.” And that’s not all. It will be offered for € 5 (and against identification and proof of purchase) “to mark his bike against theft while being informed about the choice of a good burglar.” “We have not yet caught up with our behind the Netherlands … but with these actions on the bicycle, we sow small pebbles. And it also is within the scope of other projects of the municipality adds Roux.

Pedestrians, beware. Do not forget to bring reflective elements

Beware of thieves and pedestrians in dark areas around graveyards, police warn. It was Wednesday evening because many families set off to light a candle deceased to the cemetery and honor and their memory. Busy will not only cemeteries, but also roads and paths. Annually, the police recorded an increase in thefts and accidents.

 

In the field, it is true even of “All Souls’ Day were policemen moving around cemeteries and in busy places, but they have not in such a large scale as just last weekend, when the police with safety vest had a nationwide event focused on the driver, but also monitor the nearby cemeteries.

 

“Officers from the local police departments to patrol the roads are normally well as foot patrols appear on some cemeteries,” advised Michael Richter, spokesman police.

 

Pedestrians should also have taken into account that they must wear according to the amendment of last year, at least one reflective material, light from a mobile phone or handheld flashlight is definitely not enough. These equipments have appealed and policemen from Rakovnicko random and it will also spokeswoman Michelle Richter control.

 

Visible up to 200 meters

According to police statistics, only in 2016, died in the Czech Republic, 131 pedestrians because drivers on the road are not seen in time. Even policemen Rakovnicko are planning a publicity campaign where they want pedestrians to explain the effectiveness of reflective elements. The marked pedestrian is required according BESIP visible to drivers at dusk or darkness for up to two hundred meters.

 

Goer dressed in dark clothing is seen by the driver of the vehicle at a maximum distance of twenty meters.  “Publicity campaign plan to the traffic police in the Thursday, November 10, and not just in the morning but in the afternoon, when it was already getting dark. In addition, we will distribute reflective strips, “said Michael Richter.

 

“We use reflective tape quite frequently, and it came even before the new law. I travel a lot on the bike on the road and without these elements would not even did not depart. It is enough when summer rains in the evening. I think that every normal person for their own safety, these elements used routinely. I’ll take it because even now when the road to the cemetery, although children go off the road on a dirt road.”

It’s bad idea to do this

The truth is that the idea promises. Imagine that every time radar you get caught at excessive speed, the camera photo you take your car disappear some of the numbers and letters in your registration. Such a solution prevents, among other things, your ID, and therefore you get rid of a fine for speeding. Surprisingly, this system is not new, nor a false trick. The idea is as simple as cover letters and numbers of registration with some stickers with a reflective surface, which bounces light flash radar, so that the resulting picture is distorted, preventing those letters are read and those numbers, and therefore your ID. In any case, to avoid fines for speeding there are no miracle solutions beyond the most effective of them all, not exceed the speed limits. And as we shall see this solution, which a priori seems so good, it’s a tremendously bad idea.

 

Apparently, in Germany it has become fashionable these days to install stickers of reflective material like this in the registration of cars, as told in ABC these days. It’s as simple as order them online and place in a few seconds. A Russian has popularized the web, and even shows their installation and operation in a Youtube video somewhat old, which is already close to 2 million views. But to get them not have to go that far, far less. And in fact we are talking about a solution that takes commenting on Spanish forums for years, so even the DGT has already reported on more than one occasion to use, and has extreme vigilance and persecution .

 

Germany surprising that it is precisely the country that has become fashionable. In its main motorways sections abound no speed limit, and in areas where the speed is restricted is for a very good cause, as being a very close area to a city, complicated weather conditions, or too much traffic congestion at peak times. And it’s dangerous if you don’t have some reflective tape on it. Remember that no speed limit of the Autobahn are not permanent, but depend in turn on other variable speed limits that are noticed by light signals as they decide those responsible for traffic management.

The big problem is that the risk of resorting to solutions miraculous how are you priori is really high, for the odds are that fraud is identified, and the sanctions that you could face for it. We talk about really tough sanctions, beside which a fine for speeding may seem ridiculous. A simple risk management and you should discourage resort to this trick, and opt for legal methods, such as warning devices based on GPS radar and the position of fixed radars, and the usual position of mobile radars, and caution.

 

* An enrollment in poor condition and carries a serious penalty, with a fine of 200 €. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

* Manipulate your car license plate to hinder identification is considered a very serious offense and is punishable by fines of up to 6,000 € and the withdrawal of six points card. A few weeks ago we presented the case of a motorist who had been fined € 2,100 for tuition handles your motorcycle with reflective elements, to transform a C in a G with black tape.

 

Identify a vehicle with a manipulated enrollment does not seem overly complicated. It is true that, apparently, these stickers are not recognized by the naked eye. But if mobile radar detects a speeding offense captures with his camera, and check that enrollment numbers are missing, how you think it will take to prosecute the offender to intercept and process the appropriate complaint?
