Considerations for traveling by car in these vacations

Road safety capsule: If you are going on vacation in your car in the next vacation period, consider the following:

Safe driving yes, it seems the most obvious, but it is the first thing that fails. The most important thing is to respect the maximum speeds. Do not use the cell phone while driving under any circumstances, as it distracts us from our position as a pilot, leaving everything ready for an accident to occur. Low lights on and all occupants always with seat belts and boys and girls behind with the corresponding fasteners.

 

Another important factor is the lights. Cleaning any type of dirt will substantially improve the lighting capacity of our vehicle. On the other hand, we must review the distribution bands – attention to the squeaks, if so we must change them – hoses and air conditioning. Tires it is necessary to look in detail if the drawing is well marked. Smooth tires are very dangerous. Check that the pressure is adequate and before going out it is ideal to make an adjustment of alignment and balance. The safety vest is necessary for the car, because the reflective tape for clothing can enhance the visibility.

 

Fluids there are an indispensable quartet: the engine oil level, the antifreeze level, the brake fluid, and the water for the windshield wipers. Always with the engine cold and stopped, the first fluid is controlled with the rod for that purpose, removing it and checking the marks between minimum and maximum. If necessary, make the corresponding oil / filter change. The antifreeze must be at your level to avoid irreparable heating. When checking the brake fluid, do not forget the brake pads either, since if they are not in good condition they are responsible for the liquid coming down. After filling the windshield water tank, make sure that the feathers are in good condition and show no signs of being parched.

 

Final check When you have already set all the above, do not forget to check if you have the spare tire in good condition, a reflective vest, tool and extinguisher in good condition. A first aid kit can save you, and finally you have to check that you have all the necessary and current documentation. Secure the luggage. It is important not to carry loose things in the passenger compartment (inside the vehicle). It is true that many times, you need to bring several, but you have to consider your safety and that of your family.

Victims without safety vest at transition to wintertime

The transition to wintertime costs more deaths and serious injuries annually, especially among pedestrians without wear reflective vest, according to Belgian research. This weekend it is dark an hour earlier at the start of the winter season. We give you tips to prevent accidents in the dark or at dusk:

 

Pedestrians

It is vitally important that you are clearly visible as a pedestrian. Choose reflective clothing. This makes you better noticed by motorists. You can already see up to 150 meters with reflective clothing. With dark clothing, car drivers only see you from 20 meters. Look extra good when crossing. Due to the light from the headlights, it is often difficult to make eye contact. Be sure that the driver stops when you cross. Having priority does not mean that you also get this.

 

Cyclists

Check your bike. Bicycles have reflectors and lighting. Check that all reflective material are on the bike and that the lighting is working. You will find all cycling requirements in our checklist. You can also stand out with clothing: In case of rain, twilight and in the dark, bright or light-colored clothing is the best. In the case of fog during the day, you see dark-colored clothing the best. Reflective strips also help to stand out better.

Do you have children? Discuss at home how you can stand out in traffic. Make, for example, see the rebus with your child, and be seen!

 

Motorists

Try to drive more slowly near pedestrian crossings. As a driver, you should always be able to stop for each crossing. It is always possible that a pedestrian does not have a good view of what is coming or is distracted. A pedestrian without safety vest can hide behind another pedestrian. If you stop to cross a pedestrian, it is advisable to look before you go to see if there is no other pedestrian.

Behind us IV Family Cycle Rally “The path along the narrow track”. On Sunday, May 21st, the families of the Cultural Center came together to embark on a 20-kilometer trip to Stagy. Bike enthusiasts in reflective vest did not scare off even a cloudy morning. The rally was attended by 118 people

 

Participation in the rally was free. And although the records lasted until May 18, additional guests on the day of the event were also missing.

“This is my third rally. I enjoy recreational sport. We always try our best to participate in such initiatives. Moving is healthy. It affects the body very well, so I try to ride at least once a week. I also practice nodding walking – explains Jadwiga, participant of the rally.

 

– First time we take part and immediately see that there is a cool atmosphere. We learned from a friend about this event and decided to join because we like to go cycling, “says Barbara.

“I run more than I ride, but I decided to try the first time to participate in the rally, because I like the excursion and fun,” adds Tomasz.

 

In total, 118 people participated in the IV Family Cycle Rally “The Path along the Narrow Track”. The youngest participant was Alexander Potosi, who in August would finish three years. The oldest cyclist, Jan Dura, is 70 years old.

Participants had to take about a 20 km route, one way. Those who did not have the strength to back up their bikes could take advantage of the additional attractions – Narrow-Gauge Ride.

– Riding a bike is a trendy one for several years now. It seems that there are more and more fans of this sport.

A few years ago we also built a Cycling Town.

 

As the mayor says, cycling is the first safe form of movement; secondly the way to a healthy life, and thirdly the fashion for cycling tourism is constantly growing, so it is worth investing in. After the races, the first comments appear. Participants in safety vest are very happy and on a bike adventure, they are getting ready again for a year.

There will be no going back in use of safety vest

Interior Minister Salazar said today that “there will be no going back” in the application of the rule that makes it compulsory for motorcyclists in the country to wear safety vest and helmets that record the number of their respective vehicles.

 

Although a group of motorcyclists expressed their rejection to the measure yesterday with a seedling in the Field of Mars, Salazar insisted on pointing out that this norm – that will take effect in next May – is public interest and of great importance in the fight against the delinquency. “This rule is going to continue to spread because it is of public interest for citizen security in the face of the events that have been taking place on motorcycles, such as assaults on people, wallets, checkers and even murders,” he said.

 

Noting that the measure constitutes an important security mechanism to be applied the country, the holder of the Interior stated that bearing the number of plaque inscribed on the helmet and vest has given good results in other countries in the region. “In Colombia, for example, everyone has accepted it because it is an issue of interest to all citizens,” he said, indicating that he hopes to be able to meet soon with representatives of motorcycle drivers to explain all the benefits of this mandatory.

 

What does the standard say?

Motorcyclists who as of May, do not list the unit’s running plate and a reflective tape on their helmet or vest, will be fined. In addition, motorcycle drivers who violate this provision will accumulate 20 points in the infraction table, the vehicle will be withheld and the vehicle will be sent to the municipal deposit.

 

In the case of individuals, the helmet will preferably be black; and the orange waistcoat. For Serena go motorcyclists, both the helmet and the vest must be blue, while the police personnel will wear the characteristic green lime vest. The mandatory of these distinctive ones will not apply to the handling of motor taxis, trimesters or quad bikes; But only for those traveling on two-wheeled motorcycles, including their companions, in case two people are transported in the same vehicle.

 

Position of motorcyclists

The day before, a group of motorcyclists, many of them Harley Davidson drivers, congregated in the Field of Mars to hold a protest; and scheduled for the first week of March a new peaceful demonstration in rejection of this measure.

They seek to sensitize the local authorities and thus be able to repeal Supreme Decree 009-2010-MTC, which amended Article 105 of the National Traffic Regulations, requiring that the number of the filing plate be included on his helmet and reflective vest. According to some motorcyclists, this rule violates their rights and creates a climate of insecurity; because they are exposed to unscrupulous people can clone the helmet and vest, commit a criminal act and be responsible.

 

Wear Reflective vests outside the village

The Senate unanimously approved an amendment that, among other things, will allow municipalities to restrict the operation. The norm also mandates pedestrians to wear reflective elements outside the village and allows the police to withhold a small technical license in the event of a poor technical condition of the vehicle.

 

The Senate decided on Wednesday despite the efforts of some senators, who wanted to take police officers the right to measure the speed of the ride or to allow cyclists to ride even after drinking less alcohol.

 

The novel, which also obliges motorists to clean vehicles from ice and also from snow if they prevent them from being out of sight, now, gets the president to sign.

The norm should also allow for a half-year license to be issued to those who would cross the railway crossing at the time of signaling the arrival of the train. The fine for such a crime has not yet increased, as demanded by greens, according to CSSD senator Petro Galas, but in the future it is considering increasing from five thousand Czech crowns to five times.

 

The largest part of the three-hour debate took over the senators’ discussion of the abolition of the right of the police to measure the speed that was advocated by the chairman of the ODS senators and the mayor of Teplice. “The ministry of transport has a negative opinion on the proposal to drop the possibility of measuring the speed of municipal traffic by the police in reflective vest,” the minister of transport, Dan, told the senators. He justified this inter alia by not discussing this change with the authorities concerned and assessing its impact on both traffic safety and radar investment.

 

Kobe argued that many municipalities just want to improve their income, so speeds are measured outside the built-up area. He also pointed to the administration and the increase in unpaid fines for traffic offenses, which he said had climbed from 29 million to 43 million crowns in the past five years.

 

The chairman of the CSSD senators admitted that the city police would not be able to measure the speed of the trip, but it compensates for the insufficient capacity of the Republic Police to ensure a higher level of security in the municipalities. This was argued by Senator. “I speak to myself, because I am a city police sponsor, and I often give her a quick ride,” she admitted.

 

Senate Vice-President proposed to allow cyclists, according to the Austrian model, 0.8 per mile of alcohol in the blood if they were traveling on third-class roads or cycling paths, or alternatively 0.5 per mile. He also wanted to limit the maximum penalty for alcohol for cyclists to 500 crowns. He argued that policemen often choose fines on vineyard cycling trails.

 

To the duty of reflective elements for pedestrians, vests or only strips on the sleeve, the Minister of Transport stated that the violation would amount to a fine of two thousand dollars. Also said the ministry had a deal with the police to give people more of their reflective tapes. He also announced that his office is seeking an agreement with the Czech Association of Insurers to ensure the removal of non-mobile vehicles. He responded to the request of Senator Jake that the government should take action against overtaking offshoots.

Funeral parade in reflective vests

Hundreds of gunmen, sport shooters, hunters in high visibility vest and members of the armed forces in the middle under the statue of St. Wenceslas in Prague protested against the Euro smart on weapons, which was approved by the European Parliament on Tuesday despite the strong opposition of the Czech Republic.

 

The MPs, representatives of the Bohemian-Moravian Hunting Unity, as well as the double champion of the world in sport shooting Adam Tic and the representatives of the armory men, took part in the improvised hunting ceremony on Wenceslas Square.

 

A demonstrator has in their hands banners with inscriptions such as “Prohibit Radicalism, Not Weapons,” “EU Guidelines bury us,” or links to disarmament in 1938.

Demonstration at Wenceslas Square in Prague against a European directive tightening arms possession.

 

The speakers in safety vest agreed that the EU directive by limiting the legal possession of weapons does not complicate the lives of terrorists and organized crime. According to them, a strict Czech law on weapons should be an example for other countries.

 

“The vote was held in the Euro parliament in five minutes, the usual debate was not accepted and no amendments to the Czech MEPs were voted,” said Bohemia Strake of the Czech-Moravian Hunting Union.

 

Retired captain Jixi Kink said that freedom is at stake. “Today they are arms, tomorrow they are basting pocket knives. Do not make us stupid of us; it’s because of the fight against terrorism. The Brussels elite actually started to worry their own citizens, “he said.

 

Constitutional amendment and action

Martin Lank, Marshal, has called the directive a Pasqual. “The only thing the EU has come up with in response to terrorist attacks is this norm. Now we have to take full advantage of the time left before we have to transpose the directive into Czech law by filing an action against the European Court of Justice, and anchoring the right to hold the gun in the constitution, “he said.

 

KSČM deputy Zukav also voiced support for the constitutional amendment. “I am convinced that protecting our country is not a right but a duty of citizens,” she said.

Also, according to Strake, there is no other solution to the current situation than to oppose the directive by a constitutional amendment proposed by thirty MEPs across the ranks that the House will still be dealing with.

 

Funeral parade in reflective vests

Wednesday’s event culminated in a funeral parade accompanied by music that brought a coffin full of roses, cups and medals from sports competitions before the European Commission headquarters in nearby Street. At the mourning parade, a number of participants took the reflective vests that the hunters wear for hunting to point out the security that needs to be handled when handling weapons.

 

The organizers planned to hand over the coffin to EC representatives, but after ten minutes the protesters did not get anybody, so when the national anthem was sung, the procession turned and went back to Wenceslas Square.

A giant with a reflective jacket and a solid handshake

They sweated and worked underground for 17 years, 360 days a year and 24 hours a day. When the Gotthard base tunnel is inaugurated with great pomp next week, many of them have already left the scene. The 2,000 miners employed at the construction site remained anonymous, while they realized the work of the centuries.

 

Nostalgia, pride and satisfaction; this is what René Kaufmann feels when he thinks of the tunnel. René Kaufmann, a giant with a reflective jacket and a solid handshake, has just spent 14 years in the Gotthard base tunnel. First in mine rescue, then in equipment management and finally as a locomotive engineer in Sedum (GR), where the difficult geological conditions allowed to work only with explosives.

 

Blasting is the queen discipline in the tunnel. The blaster master performs a final check round before proceeding with the explosion. The detonation is deafening, the huge shock wave. The acrid smell of ammonia rises to the nose of the miners. It’s hot – up to 50 degrees – wet and dust is ubiquitous. Thus the 46-year-old man described his daily task: “I had to carry comrades out of the tunnel because they collapsed.”

Team work in the heart of the mountain is hard: ten days of work, four leave. Quick starts are not uncommon. “Either you’re done for the tunnel, or you’re not.” René Kaufmann has been doing this job for thirty years.

 

His great-grandfather and grandfather were already working in the mines. A small town in East Germany, this is tradition. The locality was known for decades for its pure copper ore. Since he was sixteen, he is in the mines. The daily work has undergone dramatic changes: while René Kaufmann has learned the craft from scratch, satellite-guided machines perform many tasks today. The first workers in reflective vest were still attacking the rock with pickaxes and shovels. But for Kaufmann, the challenge remained the same: “snatch” a tunnel into the mountains.

 

What has also remained the same: risks? Despite the most modern technology, the fear is there when the elevator drops 800 meters to Sedum and a new day begins. Blocks of unstable rock, chemical substances, fires or accidents: many dangers lie in the mountains. Kaufmann learned it painfully: two comrades lost their lives in the tunnel. The memory of this 28-year-old German is lively, has become daddy shortly before and crushed dead between two wagons of ballast.

 

“These were hard times. Also because these accidents could have been avoided, “explains René Kaufmann. His compatriot had forgotten to press the emergency button to stop it. A miner must not only respect the mountain, but also the machines. The miners also count on Sainte Barbed, their patroness. There is no tunnel under construction that is not guarded by the saint.

 

It is not only the blows of fate that bind miners. Their lives reflect their work in the mountains. In Sedum, Kaufmann and his comrades lived on the outskirts of the village, in containers installed above the building site. Each had a single room. WC and showers were upstairs; meals were taken in the canteen.

 

All the minors came from abroad, especially from Germany, Austria, Portugal and Italy. Fellowship is crucial: “We are a small family”. We invite ourselves for grills, we play football or cards. René remained in contact with some colleagues, “thanks to Facebook”. Only teamwork allows for a real family life. After eight days, Kaufmann wear safety vest took the wheel of his car and was 800 kilometers. He spent five days with his wife and two sons before returning to Switzerland.

 

The future remains open. And René Kaufmann is a bit disillusioned. He expected a little more consideration here: “Once the tunnel is over, they drop you like a hot potato.” Currently, he takes care of the last interviews in the gallery. His contract expires the day before the festive inauguration of the tunnel. It has already been announced at the ORP, the regional placement office.

Students wear safety vest to take “Pedi bus”

A week ago at the stop within the via Renate Serra former abattoir Parking is the second game of Pedi bus line Avella school, a “human buses” formed by children “passengers” wear safety vest and two adults, “driver” and “controller” who walk face every day and in all weathers the way to school.

 

The Pedi bus Avella party from former slaughterhouse parking is joined with that from stand Orton Simony, to revive together the slogan ” We are born to Walking “, the name of the regional campaign that the city of Ravenna with its Education Center At Sustainability RA 21 has been running for seven years.

 

In Ravenna, in addition to the primary school Avella, they are active Pedi bus those of primary schools Torre, Randi and Mordant.

“Born to walk” is for children to parents of primary schools from all of Emilia-Romagna City to promote pedestrian in reflective clothing and sustainable mobility, especially on home and school.

 

The walk allows you to come into direct contact with the environment around us, to perceive and build a healthy and constructive relationship with others based on respect, trust and solidarity, thus giving back to the street and other public spaces that natural role a place for socializing and building friendly relations and therefore to the common good, as well as instruction in sustainable mobility.

The campaign includes the distribution of postcards that children must complete with drawings on the theme taken from their imagination. The cards also contain a text of Mayor dedicated to families and focuses on the values of walking and sustainable mobility. The postcards will be collected by CEAS and displayed in themed public initiatives.

 

The city administration hopes that other classes of Ravenna primary schools adhere to the campaign and choose to activate a new Pedi bus and some reflective vest.

Stab safety vest for people

The Hague city carrier HTM begins with a test in which employees are equipped with plug-proof vests. Currently wearing ten inspectors such safety vest, but decided in March that all inspectors get one.

 

HTM wants to protect its employees from becoming the violence that is increasing more grotesque forms.

Yet there are not only proponents of the initiative, the safety coordinator acknowledges in AD. “We want to give our people a cannonball security,” he says with wearing safety clothing. “It may not be true that an auditor suddenly feel a kind man of steel, someone who imagines himself invulnerable.”

 

Possibly the stab vest will soon be required to risky days and times, such as weekends, “when the drink is the man.” On other days, the safety reflective vest can be worn “voluntary”.
