There were points for the number of pupils in a class who had made it to the Paulsboro independently without parental help and parental car. Further points were awarded for the wearing of warning reflective vests on the way to school. “These vests, or in any case bright, eye-catching clothes you should continue to wear in the morning,” the children were admonished.

As usual, the primary schoolchildren collected themselves again at meeting points, from there in groups the Paulsboro steered. Steffi from the parents’ representatives as well as other mothers and fathers supported the two-week action.

Constable will be able to become people of 18 years

Interior Minister Milan tabled in the House bill that would allow the state to municipal police constable since 18 instead of the current 21 years. Officers under 21 years of age, they could only serve without weapons. According to him, police officers in reflective vest would have the authority to measure the speed at home municipality, this should not be their priority. Norma has its critics; however, according to Daniel officers should not substitute for the state police, including traffic, their powers should be cut according to him.

 

Controversial draft of specification of responsibilities of the municipal police and is lowering the age for taking up her post in the House probably waiting for changes. Interior Minister Milan (ČSSD) in Wednesday’s opening round he said, insisting that police officers could serve 18 years instead of the current 21. Changes should also apply to him by periodic testing and measurement speed. The Minister however admitted downloading and standards.

 

According to him, police officers would have the authority to measure the speed at home municipality, this should not be their priority. “We say that if the village from larger, which has a municipal police lend on the basis of a public contract security guard, it is not possible that it was only for the purpose of measuring the speed,” he said.

 

Reducing the age for entry into the service explained that the increased scope for young people, which is also pursued by other security forces. According to him, it’s not good if you members of tug of war. With weapons but officers would be able to serve up to 21 years. From three to five should extend the deadline for regular testing of municipal police officers?

 

The norm in the lower house developed fairly long debate, sounded criticism. According to Daniel (TOP 09), the Police in safety vest did not replace state police including transport, their powers should be cut according to him.

The amendment would also tightened penalties for contraventions of the Municipal Police in reflective jacket, which relate to the abuse of uniforms or company cars people or communities that they have no right.

Safety vest for the cycling enthusiasts

utumn is obviously a time when we leave their bikes in garages. It remains; however, a group of enthusiasts who gravitate continue their kilometers with wearing safety clothing. You can join them! Just remember a few things.

The truth is that in our climate autumn cyclists does not spoil and often surprises with morning frost, rain and wind aura. For all these disadvantages should still make later rising sun and before the gathering dusk. In short – the cyclist fall is not easy.

 

The first and most important rule – Be seen! Cyclist traveling on the road must be visible to the driver. Not only dark, but in the day. Keep in mind that in the autumn air transparency is much smaller. Manufacturers of sports clothes have a wide color palette. It is worth investing in special armbands, reflective vests or other reflective elements. In addition, shortly after nightfall, remember to ignite lights: white front and red rear. The rear light is best to put on a backpack on his jacket or helmet. For your safety, you must shine like a Christmas tree!

Beware of road surface marking on the road, painted white or yellow paint, especially on the lanes and pedestrian crossings. This is what “white” on the road can be very slippery, especially after rains.

 

Thirdly, and no less significant than the above – consistently forcing drivers to comply with an order to circumvent wheelers at a distance of not less than one meter. Yes, deliberately and with premeditation I took the word “forcing”. Horse “close as possible to the right edge of the road” does not mean running next to the curb. You have to take an amendment to the opening doors of parked cars, potholes and other obstacles. Hooking pedal curb can lead to overturning the rider and dangerous accident. Safe distance is about 1 meter from the curb – and beyond. Then biker has more room for maneuver if you notice any obstacle. It will be able to bypass the right rather than the left. I know from experience that this is not always possible, but helps a lot riding on at least half a meter from the curb, not next to him. If the way that you move is not even enough space to perform a dangerous maneuver safely try not to make sudden maneuvers, trying to avoid an obstacle. Remember that such a sudden “dodge” for moving the driver of the car you can be quite a surprise if in this moment is going to overtake you.

 

Security is one of the elements on which it is worth paying attention to preparing for the fall on a bicycle. However, we must remember to take care of appropriate clothing. What a pleasure to drive if we are cold and all have wet autumn rain?

 

The basic principle is to not allow extracting excessive amounts of moisture (sweat) by our body. Otherwise, simple cotton clothing will sweat and wet will stick to our body. That is why it is worth to reach for clothing thermo active. Thermal clothing provides better ventilation, easier to keep it constant body temperature. The main task of the service is thermo discharge of sweat from the skin surface. This is essential for our comfort. By moisture cools the body much faster than in dry conditions.

 

You should also keep in mind the volatility of the autumn weather. And this rain is the biggest bane of the rider. It is necessary here adequate security of your wardrobe. Manufacturers of sportswear offer a wide variety of jackets, trousers or raincoats. It is with you all the time to have a coat or jacket, which at any time can be removed from the bag or backpack. Such a protective jacket certainly is not a great burden for our luggage. A good solution is the reflective jacket tourist soft-shell or models with detachable fleece.

If you plan to ride well in the winter, you can think about the gloves of the membrane layer. As quickly we reach for the scarf and hat.

Bicycles-A yellow reflective vest for everyone in Angers

Monday, between 16 h 30 and 17 h 30, the police in safety vest arrested all cyclists passing place André Leroy, Angers. No offense but to a point on safety.

 

Within an hour, more than 150 cyclists were asked to stop, place André Leroy, Angers, according to police. “Today it’s nice. It penalizes individual.”

 

The mission of business is prevention. Distribution yellow reflective vest, clamp-pants and other reflective objects: each user leaves with his gifts. After a quick check of their bikes and there is a reminder of the rules: “A cyclist loses no points on his license but it risks the same penalties when a driver violates traffic laws.”

 

Wearing the reflective jacket, it is not mandatory that campaign. “But highly recommended for all users the night or day”, insists Arnaud Desjardins, police commissioner and deputy departmental director.

 

If 2014 was marked by no deaths of cyclists in Angers, the fact remains that they were involved in 58 accidents.

Bikers soon forced to wear a fluorescent reflective jacket

Would the myth the same if Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda had driven their Harley-Davidson rigged a fluorescent  reflective vest? “Easy Rider” clearly not part of the ideal Prime Minister Francois Fillon has announced the adoption of a number of measures against the increase in the number of road deaths, after an interministerial Committee for road safety (IRB).

 

Among them, the obligation for motorcyclists to wear retro reflective equipment, in other words one of those famous yellow vests that drivers must have in hand at all times in their vehicles.

 

Beyond the controversy over the real contribution of such a security decision, this announcement is a real blow to the followers of leather reflective jacket.

Reflective jacket here is what the law

Not responsible for manslaughter the motorist who, outside an urban center and at night, hits a pedestrian who does not wear a reflective jacket. This is the orientation repeatedly established by the Supreme Court. The Highway Code states that, outside urban areas, pedestrians must circulate:

  • In case of carriageway in both directions of travel, in the opposite direction to that of the car.
  •  In the case of single carriageway in the direction of traffic, on the right margin with respect to the direction of vehicle operating conditions.

From half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, pedestrians on the carriageway of roads outside the towns, without public lighting, must march along a single row.  No rule, however, imposes to pawn wear a reflective vest.

The only obligation is triggered only for the motorist and cyclist. In the first case, in particular, the braces or reflective vests must be worn by drivers of cars parked on the road, outside the towns, at night or in poor visibility conditions. It is mandatory to wear them when you go to fix the delta after a fault or if you leave the car stopped on the emergency lane.  The obligation applies not only to the driver but also for any passengers.

The fact that no provision of the Highway Code requires the pedestrian to wear at night and outside urban centers, the reflective jacket does not mean that this behavior can be considered, albeit legitimate, even prudent. In fact, it is extremely likely that the pedestrian, in poor visibility conditions, cannot be seen by the driver and invested. In such cases, according to the Supreme Court, the motorist cannot be charged with murder, but always that his driving style is considered prudent and respectful of speed limits.

The driver must – on time underlines the jurisprudence – ask yourself in a position to anticipate and avoid the accident. This means respect not only the rules of the road, but do everything to avoid still critical events that may cause damage to third parties.

Being, however, ahead of the car, a pedestrian, the danger, it is certainly a situation impossible to predict, and, on the roads in the middle of the night, completely hidden from the darkness, does not remain on the side of the road in order to avoid such high mileage, even to avoid.  So, in such cases, only if the pedestrian was wearing reflective clothes the driver can be held criminally responsible (the investment, it is foreseeable and avoidable with the light signal), otherwise it is exempt from all criminal liability.
