Invests pedestrian without reflective jacket

The conduct of the pedestrian invested that circles on foot, at night time, road devoid of lighting, without reflective vest and in the wrong direction, cannot be regarded as foreseeable by the motorist investor. And ‘what emerges from the judgment of the Fourth Chamber of the Criminal Court of Cassation of 30 August 2016.

 

The event saw a man at the wheel of his car, hit a pedestrian who, during the night and no reflective clothing, proceeded in the same direction of travel. According to the judges of merit, however, the responsibility was attributed to the motorist who had not adapted their driving behavior to road conditions, devoid of adequate lighting, a speed kept failing commensurate with those conditions, such as to maintain control of the vehicle and anticipate all dangerous situations.

 

As a general principle, the fault is defined as a lack of the event will be accompanied by the ability to observe a certain pre-trial rule, the concrete possibility of requiring compliance with that rule, and the collectability of the required behavior.

 

As obvious, for there to be liability in negligence is required, first, the event causation that the rule intended to prevent and, secondly, that the appropriate conduct, if held, would have avoided the event.

 

As evidenced by the case law, with reference to pre-trial adjustment of speed to environmental conditions rule, it must be the need to take into account the elements of space and time, having to evaluate, in practice, whether drivers have had any chance of avoid the left.

 

In this case, the judges were asked to verify whether, in the concrete conditions, the conduct of the victim who circulated on the country road, in night time, in the street devoid of retro reflective vest without illumination, it was foreseeable by the motorist.

 

Relates exclusively to the events that fall within the scope and predictability of the behavior of the pedestrian who proceeds in a suburban road, in the dark, without retro reflective jacket, it constitutes conduct that well may escape from such predictability sphere.

Reflective fabric is used by cyclists

Levi Strauss, the alliance has something to surprise. Thought for urban cyclists, the Jacquard project was presented last week at the Google I / 0 2016 conference in Mountain View, California. Sensitive to touch, the reflective fabric of the first jacket connected allows interacting with its Smartphone, without having to take it out.

In 2011, we launched the Commuter Trucker collection. Dedicated to urban cyclists, the line adapts the classics of the house to the specific needs of those pedaling in city dress. Thermal properties, resistance, elasticity, protection and even safety – we have worked on reflective fabrics in the dark, to make cyclists more visible at night – the collection aims to combine design and performance for the benefit of sports. So, because innovation is inherent in the Commuter collection, we thought it was the perfect place to incorporate the Jacquard project.

It allows cyclists to control their Smartphone from a distance. By way of example, the jacket may, by vibration, indicate when the user receives a call or message. The user can program the gesture (tapping, friction) which will activate the desired functions on his telephone. Listening to music, taking a call, launching a GPS, or learning about the buildings you are crossing … all this becomes possible, just by touching your left sleeve. The garment thus becomes a co-driver, avoiding the pedal to let go of the handlebars and divert his attention.

The engineers in charge of the project wanted to create the simplest technology to facilitate its integration by the weaving factories. Thus, they have created a fiber similar to a reflective material, but incorporating wires of conductive metal alloys. This allows you to integrate a tactile interface directly into the fabric. This simplicity of integration is what makes Jacquard’s interest.

Soon, we will develop more diverse interfaces solutions, such as LEDs, hap tic feedback (which allows us to reproduce real touch sensations on a tactile interface) and microphones. APIs will also be introduced to allow manufacturers and developers who wish to see their applications used with our clothes.

Aesthetically speaking, the garment is very successful because it looks to be mistaken for the iconic Levi’s denim jacket. How did you manage to reconcile fashion and technology?

Do not let technology constrain appearance was our main challenge. Fashion and technology must work together, but there is an inherent tension between the two. We wanted the garment to look like any other Levi’s jacket, the technology was as useful as possible and its appearance as discreet as possible.

Another constraint was that the jacket had to go through the machine. For this purpose, it is sufficient to remove the electronic module which covers all the operation of the wearable device before washing the jacket.

The connected fabric will not be reserved for Levi Strauss. Other brands will be able to use it, as they would with any other fabric. More than the technology itself, it is the designers and their apprehensions of the needs of the consumer who dictate the architecture of the product and value the connected clothes. By abandoning the idea of exclusivity, we want to create a creative ecosystem that will benefit everyone, and in particular consumers. We are proud of this technology and look forward to seeing it evolve and expand on a large scale.

A test version of this first connected reflective jacket should be available to developers this fall, before being released in the spring of 2017. No awards have been announced.

Safety vests are required for sailors

North Sails sailboats and Hilly Hansen protect themselves with a safety vest while sailing without giving up style and detail.

A sailing jacket for sea enthusiasts, are not willing to accept compromises. Because every weather condition must be tackled with caution using appropriate equipment and clothing. Such as wrap-around technical and waterproof jackets for the most adverse sea conditions. And even when weather conditions do not promise anything good, and think about staying on the ground, a good head inspired by sailing is a way to stay in touch with the sea. The choice of the sailor’s clothing cannot be oriented towards brands that have always been closely linked to the world of navigation. Like Hilly Hansen and North Sails.

Hilly Hansen is a Norwegian company that has been producing quality reflective clothing and design for sailors for 140 years. Whether it is offshore sailors or in-shore cruisers, the Scandinavian company offers state-of-the-art solutions. Like the Race Jacket. A professional waterproof, windproof, breathable, and waterproof cloth is with foldable hood and reflective details. A product highly appreciated by the jobseekers. So much for winning the GOOD DESIGN® Award awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Center for Architecture and Urban Study. Also because Hilly Hansen’s Reflective Jacket is light but has a robust design. It guarantees great freedom of movement and is suitable for sailing under extreme conditions thanks to the protective neck and the mask that protects it from the water.

For North Sails – an American brand synonymous with sailing – the strong point is the Sailor Jacket. A garment with 30 years of history, but renewed for the summer of summer 2017. Made of durable and water-repellent nylon, it also protects against UV rays. To meet the demanding of in-shore sailors, and even days spent far from the boat. Beyond the performance, there is the unmistakable style of the brand founded in 1957 by the Lowell North sailor. The jacket is a bomber with slim fit, cuffs and bottom ribs and sleeves lined with nylon which is available in navy, white, red and blue navy variants.

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.

Lightweight reflective jacket with artificial heat insulation

What to choose heat insulation? Or better will be the model of the panels on the sides or full reflective jacket for cooler conditions? Rather soft outer material and only waterproof or waterproof and stronger? Rather slightly or somewhat more solid? Questions when choosing a mountain of clothing is as always a lot – throw some light on a light jacket with artificial heat insulation.

 

In reality the mountain and the vast majority of outdoor light jacket – whether down or with artificial heat insulation – have their place in your backpack (or at least in the trunk) throughout the year. In the summer we use them most evenings in the camps, field tents and bivouacs while climbing, as well as in the morning, when we provide comfortable waiting for the coming of the sun.

 

Spring and autumn is a time of increased use of these reflective products; period of hot weather during the day significantly shortened, and mornings and evenings are beginning to offer frosts or, at best, a solid cold.

 

Winter jackets come into play heavier caliber; to make yourself a morning coffee, most often we reach for something “Armored,” just as soon as the sun disappears somewhere far to the west. Otherwise the case is during the day; when we are devoted to the activity in the ski race and climbing, and for that – although there is frost – we have a typical day “Lamp” and hard “Trolling” begin to feel uncomfortable.

The solution can only be one thing: light jackets by reflective fabric. They replaced the largely classic “Polar” and are now used throughout the year, offering skiers, climbers and tourist’s better performance in relation to its weight and more attractive, more modern look.

Reflective vest can save your life when you go off the car

Man remedied the interest on the trailer he was towing when the clash took place on Friday. He was seriously injured.

 

The driver of a van in reflective jacket, who was in charge of a problem with the trailer he was towing in the tunnel, was hit Friday by a car and seriously injured. The structure, located on the A22 was closed for four hours to the south as a result of this accident.

 

It was about 3:30 p.m. when the driver found that support its trailer was detached and rubbed the floor. He then stopped to put the piece in place. A car traveling behind him and wanted to miss did not rule out its trajectory enough and hit. Seriously wounded man was taken to hospital.

 

A police spokesman, questioned by arts, could not indicate whether the driver of the van had stopped switched its failure lights, set up the triangle down and put on his reflective vest.

 

The vehicles involved in the accident were evacuated, which led to the closure of the tunnel to Leister.

 

At the place where the accident occurred near the south gate, the tunnel is two-way, with no emergency lane. The right lane is output office towards Leister. The two people involved live in the region. And they are not wear safety vest when go off the car.

Marathon runner in safety vest gives you best tips

She has won twice in a row – in the marathon at the World Cup in Beijing, she was also the fastest of the Swedish girls. Now she gives you their top tips for autumn and winter running, including reflective vest to keep safety.

 

Johansson went from being exerciser to become national team runners in just four years, and she has a strong position as one of the fastest long distance runners in Sweden. Anne, for example, the only woman to have won twice – to keep running races during the winter is one of the secrets behind the success.

 

– I think it will be easier to get back into racing shape if you run in the winter. I recommend that you run 1-2 times a week to avoid losing running feeling. Do it, it’s really hard to get out so take a while on the treadmill inside the gym, says Anne.

– Add also the more alternative training in the winter, when the body gets the chance to repair itself from any flaws. The key is to maintain fitness and cross-country skiing can be a very good option.

 

Before each winter season many wonder how to dress when the days and nights are dark and cold.

– I usually winter tights and a little warmer running reflective jacket or shirt with underwear shirt underneath. It is like the foundation, and then I build on for how cold it is. Is it really cool is that both wind panties, knickers and an extra sweater or vest over the top layer. Maybe I change even out skin layer against something that resists moisture if such snows a lot, says Anne.

 

The collection Craft Brilliance are tights with napped inside that keeps the heat and uppers of wind panels that protect against wind and rain. The garments are the extra reflective prints for good visibility in all directions – and moreover, the collection of fluorescent paint to increase visibility. Other items in the collection Craft Brilliance here!

 

Anne means that there are few things that bring so much energy to get out and move around in the fresh air, even if you feel tired and tough when it gets dark early.

How To Get despite the cold and darkness – Anne top tips:

  1. Spring home from work – so-called transport running. Then you decided earlier in the day and it’s getting harder to fold down for another.

4. Se to have something good to expect when you get home; a good dinner or a nice bath, or anything that you enjoy.

The new reflective jacket for winter

There are weather conditions that can affect our cycling trips throughout the year: wind, rain and cold are not always the prerogative of the autumn and winter period. It happens in fact to meet adverse conditions during a ride in the Alps in summer rainfall and deal with temperatures below 10 ° C is not easy with a traditional cape. North wave has recently marketed the ExtremeH2O jacket and hardly another name might be more correct. It is a reflective jacket that protects against cold, wind and water by offering the rider a perfect fit that enhances its aerodynamic capabilities.

 

To all this is you have to add the transpiration, important skill to regulate its own temperature. Unlikely these parameters are able to coexist in the same product, difficulty circumvented by North wave with the technological H2O Flex membrane. It is a membrane Super stretch inserted in the main three-layer fabric in a position to accommodate the maximum freedom of movement in the saddle. The declared value of water resistance is the usual 10,000mm but I assure you that the sealing of this jacket is excellent in every sense. I have no doubt to add it to the best proven leaders in 2016 and we are confident it will be a “must have” for 2017.

 

The cut is snug and tight just like to be a mesh midseason, but here we are in the presence of a jacket that can protect you from 18 ° C to 5 ° C without blinking.

The shape of the neck, sleeves and “skirt” Para sketches is the confirmation of what the concept Bitmap North wave evolved. The zip YKK waterproof and reflective fabric inserts inserted as graphics and along the edges of the tail and the back pockets perfected a head which proves excellent already at the table. Inside of life is a silicone band to keep it in place well head. The three rear pockets are comfortable and tight enough to carry around the need for a long output. This jacket is present in the list even in the version with short sleeves to confirm what the same North wave Extreme H2O see in a race garment in effect. As for the coloring, in addition to all-black version also a yellow fluorescent, ideal to keep always visible.

 

On the road there are a number of good reasons to buy Extreme H2O and make it a versatile jacket to keep always available. The tested with the strong wind, heavy rain and even with temperatures close to 5-7 ° C, to accompany an intimate mesh at both short and long sleeves, always with very good sensations.

 

The panels with which it is made are very elastic and ensures great freedom of movement then you will get the typical protection of a jacket with the thickness of a slightly sweatshirt mesh for a unique versatility just like the PRO wish. Wear it now defying the rain or try to replace the winter jacket with reflective tape to address the outputs with variable climate. If you have already planned a few days of cycling in the mountains for the next year, take it with you, it will be ideal to tackle long descents and the unpredictability of these atmospheric landscapes. The verdict is simple, the quality / price ratio, the Extreme H2O Jacket is undoubtedly one of the best products available.

Pedestrian need to wear safety vest on Street with no sidewalk

If a road is missing the sidewalk on which side of the pedestrian must wear safety vest and walk to comply with the rules? If the road was without a walk according to the rules of the road the pedestrian which side has to walk in order to demand compensation for damages in case the car would invest?

 

On the way not only the cars must comply with the rules but also pedestrians and when the sidewalk is missing, especially if the road is two-way traffic, pedestrians must respect the rules of conduct to prevent contributory negligence in the case of investment.

 

Missing the sidewalk on which side of the pedestrian walking?

The pedestrian must walk on the left side of the roadway or that contrary to the movement of the car in case of two-way street. If the road, however, is one way pedestrians will have to proceed along the right shore. In any case, the rule is that, if it is the time between sunset and sunrise, the reflective jacket must be worn.

 

Investment Responsibility

To clarify responsibility for any investment of a pedestrian on the sidewalk no way is the Court of Turin with a judgment which states that if the pedestrian walking in the same direction that the car’s traveling invests no reflective clothing is not entitled to compensation damage. In this case, the driver cannot be held responsible investment because the pedestrian, not respecting the rules, contributed to the accident fault.

Safety vest avoid accidents of Indiscipline cyclists

Deviations cyclists without safety vest accounted for the third question that led to serious traffic accidents amid which occurred 634 accidents (10.18% of total accidents) resulting in the death of 86 people and seriously injuring other 553.

 

Thus, 6 and 7 October, the Romanian Police acted on roads across the country to combat indiscipline cyclists. Traffic controls have resulted in implementation of 11 317 sanctions for breaching the provisions on public roads, of which 2,808 for offenses committed by cyclists, pedestrians committed 727, 526 and 31 committed carters.

 

To travel safely in traffic, the Romanian Police in reflective jacket reminds cyclists that on a public bicycle must be equipped with braking device effective means audible warning light white or yellow face, red light backwards and the least one reflector and bike before entering roadways priority must be given priority reduced speed and pass other drivers. “The change of direction, even if priority crossing make sure other road users understand the intention! Ride as close to the right edge of the road! Port helmet and reflective vest is a recommendation that can save lives “, said representatives of the Romanian Police.
