Only three out of ten motorcyclists use the reflective vest

The use of the reflective vest by motorcyclists has stagnated and far from being a mass security element. “A year ago we were a lot more optimistic,” Pablo, general secretary of the National Road Safety Unit, told Observer.

 

A national study on public road behavior that the agency will make public today revealed that the use of this mandatory device by Law 19.061 complementary to the Traffic Law does not exceed 30% nationally. In Montevideo, the indicator rises to 38%.

 

For the vest to affect accident rates, it should expand to at least 80% of motorcyclists.

According to the hierarch, the lack of control has influenced the adoption of its use. The Municipality of Montevideo will begin to monitor the use of vests or reflective jackets one year after the approval of the standard, although it was only regulated in April of this year. However, in a first phase, the driver will not be fined, but an observation will be imposed.

 

To solve this problem, Unease prepares a mass delivery of vests in conjunction with the Congress of Intend ants.

It is estimated that, in total, the motorcyclist intervenes in 40% of casualties with fatalities registered in the capital; while in the rest of the country it does it in a range of 60%. In Montevideo, there are about 300,000 registered motorbikes. 18.1% of motorcyclists killed last year were between 15 and 19 years old.

 

The driver gives the example

The observation study includes use of the child restraint system, safety belt, daytime running lights, helmet, and the habit of talking on the cell phone at the wheel. Idalou said that it was determined that, if the driver wears a seatbelt, 88% of the companions imitate it; but if it does not, the figure drops to 9.7%. The research was carried out in 45 points of the country, during four consecutive days. More than 46,000 vehicles (26,475 cars and trucks and 19,590 motorcycles and mopeds) and 73,000 passengers were studied.

 

 

New techniques by reflective material of against paparazzi

Many celebrities will be happy with this news. He ran out of running like people when he saw a camera or put on ridiculous wigs to mislead the paparazzi. The new technologies are combined with the privacy of celebrities and new anti-paparazzi appearances such as reflective jackets, dresses that fade or bags that blind photographers. Little tricks that will make the life of the paparazzi a little more complicated.

 

A few days ago we saw Patricia Condi coming out of court with a brunette wig, a wool cap, a scarf and sunglasses, in the purest spy style of the KGB. If the Killer Karaoke hostess had met some of the new inventions against the paparazzi, she would have been much calmer.

 

A little by accident, the North American DJ Chris Holmes discovered that the reflective garments that he used in his performances prevented him from showing his face in the photos that his fans made at the concerts. In this way the “Anti Paparazzi Collection” was created, consisting of a coat, a jacket and a scarf made of a reflective material that, when the camera flashes on them, glow until they hide the user’s face.

 

He is not the first “inventor” who puts his cunning in the service of celebrities. The designer Ying pulled out the Playtime technology collection a year ago: “If someone tries to photograph or engrave the dress, it fades, making the result blurry.” For its part, the brand of handbags Cam flash launched a design with LED lights, capable of emitting when the user wishes a beam of light that blinds momentarily to photographers. Goodyear Tire Company advanced the guidelines of a photographer-proof car with a folding tunnel to get out of the car, smoke screens or co-driver costume.

 

Of course the celebrities and have spent years using good tricks to give the corner to the paparazzi. Roman Baranovichi, one of the world’s richest men and owner of Chelsea, installed a laser on his yacht, the world’s most expensive and largest, to prevent paparazzi from taking photos of him and his guests on board.

 

The guards gave people reflective tapes

The Hulking police officers, in cooperation with BESIP, drew attention to the preventive action of the Lodger inhabitant for a valid amendment to the Road Act, according to which pedestrians traveling on the road outside the village should use reflective signs for poor visibility.

 

As of February 20, it should be a matter of course for pedestrians to use reflective signs for bad visibility. This way they are visibly more visible to the driver.

Panel Rakes, coordinator of BESIP:

“A person, who is not marked by a reflective element, and as usual, is dressed in dark clothes, so the visitor sees him in a low visibility at 18-20 m. This is not even the reaction time.

 

The reflective tapes that the residents received highlight the pedestrian at 200 meters, so the driver has enough time to react. It is important that the tape is placed on the right foot or hand.

Lummi Prada, City Police Hulking:

“Many people came for the reflective tapes. They took them home, for family members.

 

Inquiry: inhabitants of Lodger:

“I’m used to wearing it. But I wanted it for my two grandchildren. ”

“I’m sure it’s good because I’m riding a bike.”

If you do not have a reflex tape at hand, try using at least a plastic bag.

 

Panel Rakes, coordinator of BESIP:

“By the natural movement of my hand when I go, the white plastic bag can highlight the movement and warn the driver.

 

Stickers, patches, pendants or hand bands are available in haberdashery or bicycle shops. Often, fluorescent fabrics are already sewn into seams of reflective jackets, school bags or backpacks.

The rate content does not betray however the strength nor the real utility of the elements, and only the back protector is missing in jackets and reflective jackets, as to reduce the cost of leaving the choice of model (integrated or autonomous). We found the selection offered by BMW for this autumn.

The rain jacket of reflective fabric for safety

With zipped vents under the armpits, Rain Jacket is waterproof, but is also breathable for guaranteed comfort.

 

For this season, we tested a vest from the Look range, “Rain Jacket”. This jacket is designed to protect elements in rainy weather all the advantages of an excellent quality product. First, it provides optimum protection against the wind and rain, allowing the rider to stay dry throughout its release. In fact, the reflective fabric used comprises two impermeable layers not letting the water penetrate even after several hours of cycling in the rain.

 

This seal is enhanced by the sealed seams and closures used and the end of the elastic sleeve. Moreover, the particular cut of the jacket very covering the buttocks further protects the rider projections of the road. Although the jacket also has the advantage of having excellent breathability compared to other products sold commercially.

 

The latter, by its membrane allows optimal transfer of perspiration outwardly so as to remain dry inside even during intense efforts through wide side vents pockets located under the arms which provide excellent control body temperature. Regularly, windbreakers and reflective jackets have the advantage of being waterproof, but the excess heat created by the effort can no longer effectively remove moisture. With Rain Jacket, wide zippered openings revolutionize its use and comfort.

 

Its excellent breathability offers the possibility to use this rain jacket as an excellent windbreak when temperatures are cool. The tissue of the cervix and its full zip-center reinforces the comfort of the jacket limiting any irritation to the throat.

 

The fabric used, extremely light, guarantees a minimum weight of only 140 grams. Without being a really compressible fabric, it still makes it easy to store in the jacket pocket of a shirt. An unusual extra strength is to meet on this jacket. This is totally hermetic zipped back pocket allow to store a mobile phone even when it rains. The bag is relatively large and its easy access.

 

As for safety, the neon red jacket and two reflective strips on the back pocket allow the cyclist to be seen from afar. But we would have appreciated a reflective portion on the front of the jacket to strengthen the security of the cyclist overcast.

 

To conclude, we can say that the side zips the jacket are an essential accessory for your outings. This highly effective rain jacket can be worn as a windbreaker or extra layer of winter. Done effect “pressure cooker”! The cyclist can finally control his body temperature under the jacket. The Rain Jacket is available in Black or Red color Neon in size XS to XXL for a price of 129.90 Euros.

In case of failure, mandatory safety vest and triangle

Must we always report your vehicle stopped by the security triangle and wear safety vest when go off the car? It’s not an obligation.

 

Since 2008, all vehicles traveling on French territory are required to have at least a yellow reflective vest and a pre-warning triangle. To skip this equipment can be expensive: € 135 fine, according to Article R416-19 of the Highway Code.

 

When to use its triangle?

Must we always get his warning triangle when you’re down? According to the Highway Code, 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 a pre-warning triangle.

 

The obligation to put in place the triangle does not apply when this action constitutes a clear endangering the life of the driver (Decree of 30 September 2008). Vehicles on the emergency lane and do not impinge on the floor are not subject to this requirement, either.

 

Reminder – pre-warning triangle should be placed on the floor at a distance of about 30 meters or beyond if necessary, for it to be visible by the drivers coming on the same traffic lane. In addition, highway, be sure to put you behind the guardrail.

Running in autumn without fear

While in summer we are left to sweat at the thought of running, now cooler temperatures will favor ease of breathing and help us to suffer less muscle fatigue. Here are four simple tips that will help you keep training and do not find yourself unprepared for the changing of the season.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 1. do not fear the cold

The change of season brings with it a wide temperature range, okay to wear more layers of clothing specifically, but do not overdo it in wearing too many clothes between one layer and another. During the autumn often see runners in winter clothing with long pants, windproof reflective jackets and scarves. This is wrong because it is not yet time to thermal jackets and cotton is to be avoided as it absorbs sweat and cools quickly. In autumn you can safely run around in T-shirt and shorts. A rough indicator to understand how to dress consists in ‘to add to the outside temperature about ten degrees higher. So if the thermometer indicates 8th, dressed as if outside there were 18 ° because this will be the temperature perceived by you, you have to allow your body to cool transpiring.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 2. Protect yourself from the water

There are a few rules to follow to run even with the rain, though one is indispensable: the feet are dry, the better! We must try to keep dry the lower body, especially the feet.  It would be best to wear a windproof jacket waterproof, but breathable and protect the friction zones because soaked clothes are heavier and cause irritation. When there is wet, be careful not to run on the white lines of the road, they are dangerous because they become slippery. If it does not rain, but there is moisture, try to keep dry soles on a rough surface. If it rains, and you are now soaking wet, there is little to do, you just have to look on the bright and funny side of things: the puddles are all for us!

 

Running in autumn without fear: 3. Show yourself!

In autumn the days get shorter and you’ll get out of the house at dusk. Better to run during the day in the sunshine, but if not possible, armed with front light. Two useful devices consist in planning well-lit paths and being always cautious. However, if your itinerary does not include lighted sections, it is advisable to use high-visibility clothing or strips of reflective material and reflective, like mesh reflective technique. If you run on trails or in wooded areas, be sure to wear bright colors and well visible.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 4. do not neglect heating

With the temperatures a bit ‘lower, warm up well the muscles become not only important but essential. The more the temperature drops, the more it becomes absolutely essential to warm up before training real. A warming well made us makes it possible to train better, to go faster and increase our resistance. Do not overdo it right away, we have to allow time for our legs to get up to temperature, so that the quadriceps and calves do not risk tearing or stretching it too cold. Ideally, it should always start with a few minutes of running before you walk 2 or 3 km jogging.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 5. Drink frequently

Most sports are aware of the importance of hydration only during the summer months, when thirst becomes more hear. When the weather starts to get colder, though, it’s easy to forget to maintain the right levels of hydration during exercise because you start to sweat less. It ‘true that during the cooler months the need for hydration may actually decrease, but it is important, indeed crucial, make sure you are properly hydrated before, during and after each workout. Return the most important rule of all: never forget to drink. It’s important that like the safety vest keep you safety when running.
