Police deported “deaf” foreigners

Police expelled two Ukrainians, who in Paulsen walk between cars in the intersection and drivers trying to play on emotions. On paper they had written that are deaf, suffers from existential need and each reflective tape sold at least 40 crowns to help them survive difficult times.

 

On the box the car is stationary before crossing tapped the man in the vest with reflective stripe. In his hand was a piece of paper that is not a beggar, but a deaf-mute in need, which helps when people from it for 40 crowns buy reflective tape or stickers.

 

When he failed in one car, he went further. Last Friday morning, there are two men thus circumventing the car standing at one of the busiest intersections in Paulsen. Among the cars they moved through until the traffic lights green light does not come on.

 

But it left chauffeurs for him and profiteers of human solidarity alerted police. Man patrol found her still in place.

“When the officer called for proof of identity, the men presented passports of Ukraine. After the lesson patrol refused to communicate with gestures and began to suggest that they are deaf, “said spokesman Jana officers in reflective jacket.

 

The moment the officers wanted them documents that they have permission to sell souvenirs, men stopped responding to questions. The case therefore took the foreign police.

 

For both foreigners it was the last thing he did with us. Police are expelled for running unauthorized employment.

“Violated the conditions for residence in the Czech Republic, had a tourist visa. Now they must travel to their country, said a spokesman for the regional police headquarters Martina.

 

Nobody wanted to confirm whether the two men actually physically handicapped as they tried to persuade the driver.

But all indications are that affection feigned. Probably just upgraded trick operated mainly Romanians, who in the past posing as deaf collecting money for UNICEF projects, and now they sale the reflective stickers and tapes. Three years ago, the officers in Paulsen discovered in the collection of money for non-existent charity projects several times.

Reflective clothing increases safety in winter

In the dark season pedestrians and cyclists are particularly at risk. Special, reflective clothing makes them more visible – and increases their safety on the streets.

 

Bright clothes alone are not enough to make pedestrians and cyclists more visible in autumn and winter. Anyone traveling in dark or bad weather should wear clothing with incorporated retro reflective and fluorescent materials.

 

The German Traffic Safety Council (DVR) recommends highly visible clothing in winter for all the safety of all traffic users: “This ensures early detection by other people and avoids accidents,” says DVR spokesman Sven Researcher.

 

Light clothing is visible on the street in the headlamp of a car up to a maximum of 40 meters. “With reflective elements, the distance increases up to 150 meters,” says Radish. While retro reflective materials reject the light directed to them, fluorescent material is charged by light.

 

When buying, consumers should ensure that the garments comply with the European EN standards (ISO 20471 for clothing and warning vests). Alternatives to clothing with incorporated elements are special reflector straps, which are worn on the arms or legs. Reflective clothing can often be found in sports shops, the reflector racks, for example, in the bicycle trade.

 

“If you are traveling with your children or grandchildren, the little one should be equipped with reflectors on clothes or additional reflector straps,” advises Reducer. Also prams and buggies should make parents visible – for them, for example, there are LED lamps for the baby carriage handles, as well as luminous reflective stickers or light strips for the frame. Once again, according to the DVR recommendation, the buyers should orient themselves towards EN-certified products.

End of wintering motorbikes need safety equipment

With fine weather, bikers stand their gear. Good equipment and mechanical revision are advised to avoid the tragedies on the road.

Last Sunday, a tribute was paid to Tibet; 19 years young biker without wearing reflective vest died following a collision with a car (read NR Monday March 7). Proven vulnerability: per kilometer traveled, motorcyclists are 23 times more likely than drivers to be killed in a road accident.

 

“We can dare to think that prevention is useful,” says Karina Coequal, road safety coordinator at the prefecture. Linger sentiment shared by the commander, the head of motorized gendarmes, who organizes every May to the handling session’s pilots. “Good figures also linked to numerous road checks by the police of the Loir-et-Cher – 90,000 hours in 2015 – to improve road conditions and good coordination of relief.”

 

Of mandatory soon approved gloves

Suitable equipment is also a guarantee of safety. Pants and jacket with integrated protections and high boots are recommended.

 

“Not to forget to affix mandatory reflective stickers on the helmet,” says Raphael Beltran, license inspector to lead to the Departmental territories. This fall, the Committee for Road Safety decided to make it compulsory, in addition, the port of approved gloves.

Still, this equipment has a cost. Raphael Beltran would work with insurers to help pilots fund their equipment: “The discussion is open.”

In winter output, it is necessary to also take care of his two-wheeler with a mechanical inspection including” pour casual drivers that run only beautiful days. “Tire pressure drop during the winter or it allows a good grip on the road. The lubrication of the chain kit, checking the braking system and lighting are also important.  “It seems obvious but a fault on these items can be very serious.”

 

By 2017, the government wants to establish a technical control for motorized two-wheelers used for sale. Bikers do not see it that way. A demonstration is planned Saturday in the streets of Blois. The Federation of angry bikers of Indri-et-Loire considers this unnecessary decision, arguing that accidents occur as a result of human error. The Linnet commander believes however that such verification is useful: “The mechanics are too often forgotten.”

 

Angry Motorcyclists in reflective clothing manifest today in Blois, from 14 pm at the fairgrounds. They denounce the technical control for powered two-wheelers for sale, envisaged by the government.
