All the students wear the reflective vest

“We wear the reflective vests, we exhort the example”, “School of the Mihas for one hundred two, because it has reflections,” Reflections on my leg, candle is an example on the road “. Such and other slogans could be heard during the happening organized by the students from the Primary School at the end of their participation in this year’s “Reflective school” competition.

Pupils from grades IV to VI with their teachers went in a reflective march. Dressed in high visibility vests, carrying banners and miniatures of road signs, they promoted the wearing of reflectors by children and adults. During the march, they presented how to move on the road, cross the road, etc. Many drivers bumped with the impression and recognition…

Mandatory reflective vests from September 1

From September 1, every pedestrian walking after dark outside the built-up area will have to wear reflective clothing or a headband.

According to statistics, about 1,000 pedestrians and cyclists die in Poland on dark roads every year. From September 1, everyone moving around at dusk along roads in the unconstructed area will have to have visible reflective elements. Janus from the slip road in Soups should be extended by unpublished areas, including built-up ones, because many municipalities cannot afford sidewalks and illuminate the village all night long.

From the beginning of next month, however, we will be looking closely at pedestrians walking on roads outside the city. At the beginning, we will be instructing those undisciplined, but then punishing the seats – says the deputy head of the traffic department of the Soups command. What are the mandates? The new provision on the need to wear reflective vest is not yet included in the tariff. Until this happens, we will issue fines on general terms, from PLN 50 to PLN 100 – he adds to the poke. However, it is not about the level of seats, but about the safety of pedestrians. Many people note that in the minds of pedestrians and cyclists, especially those of adults, there is no need to wear reflective vest.

There is a terrible fashion for black. People rarely ask for reflective vests. When I order yellow or red panniers for a bike, they lie for months, and customers ask for dark ones – says Mikoyan from the bicycle shop, where you can buy reflective elements. The local government was planning to take care of the reflective education. At the meeting in the City Hall, representatives of the office, municipal guard and neighboring municipalities, police, organizations for the disabled and the elderly took the floor. They talked about statistics. In addition, so far, the words ended, because the Arabesque association, which initiated the action, did not receive ministerial money. It is different in rural communes, where the risk of an accident on an unlit road is much greater.

There were tragic situations with us. Near a village administrator died on an unlit road, and at the exit from the national six to Starry the car hit a cyclist. Fortunately, it has already managed to win the construction of safe descents – recalls Pewee Lewandowski from the Community Office in Dominica. We have been campaigning for the safety of our children a year ago, together with “Goes Somoza,” where all the first ones were given high visibility vests and comic booklets, we urge the elders to wear flares, distribute them at festivals and harvest festivals to tell the pulpit about road safety.

Reflective vest – “road safety is a priority”

The inhabitants of the town of Moray have decided to stand up to those who do not respect the limits in a very curious way.

Speeding is a very serious problem that occurs on the roads around the world. In our country, according to figures from the DGT, more than 300 people die each year in accidents in which speed is a determining factor. On freeways and motorways, fixed and mobile radars keep drivers who step on the accelerator too high. However, things change in rural areas, where a national road crosses the town and, although the signs mark 50 kilometers per hour, drivers do not hesitate to exceed this limit.

Faced with the inaction of the authorities, the inhabitants of Moray, a small village in the extreme north of Scotland have decided to end this situation. The neighbors, neither short nor lazy, have decided to put on a reflective vest in the main street of the town and point these hairdressing devices to some cars.

The objective is none other than to intimidate the reckless drivers who exceed the established limit of 60 miles per hour stipulated (about 96 kilometers per hour). Therefore, these, when they see the reflection of the vest, decide to step on the brake and slow down to confuse them with police carrying a strange device in their hands.

“It really is very dangerous, the speed that reaches the cars to cross Hope Man is very serious, especially when children go to school,” explained Dennis Slater, council member of the town, the BBC. “We do not like to go out on the street with hairdryers and high visibility vests, but we are trying to show that it is a desperate situation,” he adds.

After the measures adopted by the residents of Moray, the Scottish police wanted to come out with a statement to reassure the population, in which he assures that “road safety is a priority” for them, and more in that area.

Animal protectors wear reflective vest against the Hunters

The hunters tell us they love animals. They cannot understand that without reciprocity, ironically, Jake Koss wear reflective vest, one of the organizers of the Wroclaw against Hunters group, blocked the first hunt last week.

Every year in early November

Hunters meet on the festive hunt for their feast – Hubertus. Members of the Hunt St. Hubert in Legnica describes the meeting as follows: “Weather

Colleagues came in numerous numbers. We ran litters in the forest, where many animals and beautiful forest. Poker was one of the more beautiful in recent years! G. Plot played “deer on the decay” (bull and two lions), “boar on the decomposition” (three wild boars) and “predator on the decomposition”. The hunting king was Marlin Forint’s colleague, obtaining a bull deer”.

“Deer on the schedule” etc. are traditional melodies played during the funeral. Poke is in turn a solemn rite that ends the hunt. Hunters report at this time and arrange the animals’ bodies in such a sequence and position that determines the attractiveness of the killed game and the difficulty the hunter has to overcome to obtain it. According to current habits, animals are arranged on the right side, head towards the hunters, in order by species.

On a photograph of hunting in the woods dead animals lie on branches of spruce, surrounded by burning stumps. There is also a table with a tablecloth and a loaf of bread on it.

Culture without dialogue

Another hunting hunter from Legnica had to cancel. They were abducted by activists who stumbled on the Facebook profile of “Wroclaw against the Hunters” and set up a walk in the forest at the same time in the same place. They came in reflective waistcoats; they had posters with crossed drawings of the hunter.

– It was very culturally. Well, only one of them recommended a visit to a psychiatrist. The hunters were already out, but they immediately canceled the hunt – says Jake Koss, one of the organizers of the action. – Regulations do not allow shooting less than 500 meters from the “public meeting place”.

– Their faces are gone. They tried to convince us that we had to leave the forest; they even called the police – added Natalia, who also walked with the hunter. – They were not right. The policemen only made us out and let us stay in the forest, to the great disappointment of the hunters.

Animal protectors ensure that they are not afraid of walks in the forest when hunters are getting ready. They say they always have high visibility vests with them and keep the hunters informed of their presence even before the hunt begins.

Hunts are also cautious. Only once did Jack happen to have someone threatening to scratch his car. It is usually calm, though without a chance for dialogue.

Jacket Kudzu has already taken part in similar walks in the Forest. He locked with other hunting activists during the rut, which is the period of mating deer. They arrived a day earlier to the village, near the hunting grounds. They were doing a reconnaissance to locate the most important pulpits in the area and to map them. The next day they stood still before sunrise to wait under the pulpits before the hunters arrived. They were nice and cultured. After a few years the hunters just stopped coming to the ranch.

The same Wroclaw against the Hunters wants to achieve in Lower Silesia. Their profile, which lasts less than two weeks, has almost one and a half thousand likes.

Be an illuminant with in reflective vest

“At the driver more space than the frame or on the running wheels is” noted on Friday a reader to post “Everything Is Illuminated” and referred to the high visibility vests, available at the hardware store. He is absolutely right. In autumn and winter there are the cyclists in their own hands, to illuminate her silhouette in the dark in any form. This protects them and allows motorists often only to recognize them at all early.

Children get to school enrollment by the school or the German Traffic yellow vests or V-shaped luminous collar, they can coat the morning in the dark season. Your charisma is immense. And adults who are sporty machine often resort to neon-reflective vests. Depending on what date you drive, but the safety vest is not necessarily the garment of choice.

This is now but no longer a problem. The fashion industry has noticed that more and more people with the wheel are traveling, and has responded. Since two or three years, is slowly improving, but continuously quote for daily commuters. There are beautiful bike fashions that are functional clothing, but not out as such. The Jean producer has manufactured for the first time in 1895 Bike Pants. The trick is: The jackets and pants are not only breathable, but also equipped with reflectors, which can fold out when driving the back or that appear when you roll up the trouser leg. Commuters who cover long distances, the reflectors are not sufficient often. You access to sport jackets with reflectors on the arms and back. Some manufacturers equip their cycling jackets even with small LED light strip, such as here. Wolfgang Lingered has developed with the Institute for Reliability and Micro-integration high-tech jacket.

In the tissue red and white LEDs are integrated in the shoulder and back area. The lights are linked to the movements of the cyclist. They are controlled by means of a microelectronic system, sensors and control elements as well as switches and battery integrated into the jacket. The circuit board is flexible and resistant according to Institute to moisture. You could even be washed in the washing machine, they say. In last year Wolfgang Lingered received for Sporty Superheroes the Red Dot Design Award. Lingered wants to sell the reflective jacket via a crowd funding campaign early next year, by mid-year there will be the jacket also in stores.

Significantly cheaper and also very practical are reflective arm and leg warmers. They Evarts simply coat sleeve or pant leg. Which are much smaller driver bands – the modern form of trouser clip? They are made of Boot supervening, truck tarpaulin, or giant cinema posters that hung at international film festivals on facades. They are wider than the classic trouser belts and have a Velcro which holds really well. For better visibility, a relatively large reflective stripe delivers. And who needs a bag, can now rely on models that reflect also. A model has been here on the blog presented.

Transition to winter time: Useful tips for safety

We will move to winter time. The daylight period will be shortened and this will impact our journeys and safety. For example, wear a safety vest to enhance your visibility. Here are a few tips…

Every year the same period, we back our clocks one hour. For 2016 years, the transition to winter time will take place this Sunday, October 30: at 3 am, it will be 2 hours. An hour of sleep gained this Sunday, we will lose again when switching to DST. The change in winter time is established, as every year, the last weekend of October, about a month after the autumnal equinox, or when the duration of daily sunshine passes under 12 hours.

So, that was why and how … But biker language, basically, this means above all that we will see less well at the same time! Here are some tips.

Winter time: Think about your lighting.

With the transition to winter time, the natural sunshine duration decreases. You will certainly have to take the road in the morning or go home in the evening and night.

Also, the useful time of the year you must check the quality of lighting. Dipped headlights, drive, taillight, brake light, turn signals, all light devices with reflective material operate it on your motorcycle?

Failing to provide him a full wash, consider at least cleaning your headlights flashing and cabochons, to be better seen. If possible, it is also an opportunity to check the azimuth of your headlight, to properly illuminate the road and do not disturb other users.

Winter time: Your equipment

If until then, you use a smoke screen for your daily commute, consider replacing the screen for a colorless or, at least, take it with you. There are reflectors, accessories to be better seen as armbands by example or high visibility vests which can be purchased commercially or online. Learn all about the yellow jackets, it’s here. Some brands offer LED equipment specifically designed to be visible at night. An example would be the helmet Shark we tested on Moto-Station. Be especially careful at night, around 17:00, in urban areas. The move to winter time is every year a critical peak accident for two wheelers, mopeds whose lighting is sometimes faulty, poorly equipped cyclists, pedestrians…
