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. ”

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.

In case of failure, mandatory safety triangle?

When to use his triangle?

Must we always get his security triangle when you’re down? According to the Highway Code (Article R416-19), when a vehicle stopped on the road is a traffic hazard (…) the driver must provide advance warning of the obstacle by making use of its fire distress and an emergency warning triangle with reflective tape.

 

The obligation to put in place the triangle does not apply when this action constitutes a manifest endangering the life of the conductor (Decree of 30 September 2008). The vehicles on the hard shoulder and does not impinge on the floor are not subject to this requirement, either.

 

Reminder – emergency warning triangle must be placed on the floor at a distance of about 30 meters, or beyond if necessary, for it to be visible to drivers coming in the same lane. In addition, highway, remember to store behind the guardrail.

For example, in our Spanish neighbors, each car must have 1 Reflective safety vest and 2 pre-warning triangles. Conversely, Austria, drivers must have two jackets and one triangle.

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.”
