There will be no going back in use of safety vest

Interior Minister Salazar said today that “there will be no going back” in the application of the rule that makes it compulsory for motorcyclists in the country to wear safety vest and helmets that record the number of their respective vehicles.

 

Although a group of motorcyclists expressed their rejection to the measure yesterday with a seedling in the Field of Mars, Salazar insisted on pointing out that this norm – that will take effect in next May – is public interest and of great importance in the fight against the delinquency. “This rule is going to continue to spread because it is of public interest for citizen security in the face of the events that have been taking place on motorcycles, such as assaults on people, wallets, checkers and even murders,” he said.

 

Noting that the measure constitutes an important security mechanism to be applied the country, the holder of the Interior stated that bearing the number of plaque inscribed on the helmet and vest has given good results in other countries in the region. “In Colombia, for example, everyone has accepted it because it is an issue of interest to all citizens,” he said, indicating that he hopes to be able to meet soon with representatives of motorcycle drivers to explain all the benefits of this mandatory.

 

What does the standard say?

Motorcyclists who as of May, do not list the unit’s running plate and a reflective tape on their helmet or vest, will be fined. In addition, motorcycle drivers who violate this provision will accumulate 20 points in the infraction table, the vehicle will be withheld and the vehicle will be sent to the municipal deposit.

 

In the case of individuals, the helmet will preferably be black; and the orange waistcoat. For Serena go motorcyclists, both the helmet and the vest must be blue, while the police personnel will wear the characteristic green lime vest. The mandatory of these distinctive ones will not apply to the handling of motor taxis, trimesters or quad bikes; But only for those traveling on two-wheeled motorcycles, including their companions, in case two people are transported in the same vehicle.

 

Position of motorcyclists

The day before, a group of motorcyclists, many of them Harley Davidson drivers, congregated in the Field of Mars to hold a protest; and scheduled for the first week of March a new peaceful demonstration in rejection of this measure.

They seek to sensitize the local authorities and thus be able to repeal Supreme Decree 009-2010-MTC, which amended Article 105 of the National Traffic Regulations, requiring that the number of the filing plate be included on his helmet and reflective vest. According to some motorcyclists, this rule violates their rights and creates a climate of insecurity; because they are exposed to unscrupulous people can clone the helmet and vest, commit a criminal act and be responsible.

 

Motorcyclists denounce craters on roads

Motorcyclists are tired of dodging the huge gaps that fill the roads, and represent a serious safety problem even they wear the safety reflective clothing, especially for drivers of two-wheeled vehicles. Therefore, representatives of more than 15 groups of motorcyclists did not rule out reaching the Capitol if the government does not listen to their claims to attend to the poor conditions of the roads.

 

Among the officials who called for dialogue, is Governor Ricardo, who was sent a letter explaining the situation. The same request was made to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTOP), Carlos Contreras.

As an initial measure, motorcyclists are painting with paint the gaps on the tracks to alert drivers about where the craters are. They also asked that they work with the curb on the roads as well as with light signs that at night warn of the dangers. First Hour had a meeting with dozens of bikers among those who had several who recover from road accidents. According to motorcyclist Rafael Villella, in the last three weeks there have been reported about eight accidents of companions.

 

“We are concerned about the large number of accidents in recent years, including the death of colleagues, due to poor and precarious road conditions. This is uncontrollable because it is in the whole country, “said Georgia Rivera, leader of the Bikers Undoes Boricua (BUB) movement, which carries out social work throughout the year. The promoter of the meeting said that their passion is “to ride on two wheels, but many, like the police and the messengers, use their engines to work, and all are exposed to accidents.”

 

After asking to be heard by the government, Rivera mentioned that when a motorcycle owner buys the tag “we are required $ 10 additional, supposedly for improvements of polygons and for us to have continuous education on road safety.”

In the Island there is a single polygon to take the license (M-1) to drive motor.

“We do not put up with the situation anymore. The government requires shoes, reflective tape, glasses, safety helmet, etc., and now the fines will increase. If they demand of us, we are in demand. We are not asking for anything other than for national security, which is involved in this, “warned Rivera.

 

Magalia Delgado, president of the group “Los Realigns”, came to the meeting with her arms plastered after the 2 April had an accident.

“I was driving on the express 52 and already, at the height of the Medical Center, I feel that the motor starts to get out of control. When I straightened it I fell into a hole and the motor rose. There I lost consciousness, “said the woman who has been driving for ten years.

 

To avoid passing over to Delgado, Lopez lowered the engine but both fell rolling on the floor. Frodo resulted in blows to his knees and body.

Pedro Penrose, a member of Los Realigns, accompanied the group in a bus when he noticed that the road seemed “a washboard. Her engine started jumping. ”

He said that when the motorboat picked up the hole, it continued running and the woman was suspended in the air. Then Delgado “fell face down, did not move … When I called for the third time with all my soul, there as she took a breath and began to breathe. It was a pretty strong impression, “he said excitedly.

 

Delgado also has blows to the knees and elbow, and bruises all over the body.

Meanwhile, Rivera warned that if the government does not take action they will go to the Capitol.

“We’re being forced to make it to the Capitol to make some kind of pressure. We will be parking the motor to the front and if they do not listen to us, we will have to copy the circumference of the Capitol until somebody attends to us, “he said.

 

“We are going to go climbing, climbing until we achieve our purpose. It is not asking for us, it is road safety for all of Puerto Rico, “he reiterated.

Andrés Cruz Lama, president of the Latin American Motorcycle Association (LAMA) said that what they demand “is not that they pave all roads. The first thing is to stop all those gaps. Then they have to keep doing their job. “

Resilient armor with reflective element for participants

The light of the world saw another garment with the proud name of the Spartan warriors. This time he has the task of protecting his legs. Specifically, calves and shins. The Calf Guards in safety vest have the same features as handhelds that have been tested before, but you are not mistaken. But maybe you just love them all. Welcome to a world where there is no need for water, mud brooks, stones, ropes, but also barbed wire!

 

Simple hoods provide basic shaving and calf protection. They are ready for both dry and water, and some twig or stone would not hurt them. And you do not. Sleeve design is carried out in a traditional combination of black, gray and deep yellow color. Retro elements blend with industrial abstract patterns of triangles and hexagons. Technically, this is a tubular sleeve with one longitudinal seam carried out in flat stitching and tape under the foot. It is also lined with flat seams, but the upper end of the fabric is already processed by welding / gluing. So unpleasant pushing and rubbing under the knees should not occur.

 

For a long time, I wondered if the tape, which is designed to prevent the sleeve upward, should be worn on the sock or under the sock. I tried both variants. From changing over my sock, I promised more foot comfort, from underwear under the sock, to more freedom and comfort for my ankles. In the end, I decided to put down the sleeves and then the socks. The fabric is so fine that it does not cause any problems on the barefoot.

 

Minor problems, unpleasant dirt, however, provided huge white signs, maintenance and compositional notes. They are stitched to the sleeves relatively tightly, with a tiny stitch and their removal requires a little more tailoring skill.

 

Especially when shooting terrain and other occasions when it comes to shin, you will definitely appreciate the strengthening structure stuck on the stitches in the front. The combination of triangles creates a lightweight and resilient armor for participants of some Spartan. In addition to the refined design, you will also appreciate the reflective elements on both socks during training. On the one you will find the logo of the manufacturer, on the second sign of the race in the shape of a Spartan fighter. The word “Spartan” then leaves no doubt about where to put you.

 

The hangers hold well on their feet, their material does not hold water or sweat, but protects well against mud and other traps of mud races. It also works slightly compressively, so if you are a supporter of these permissive means of support, you will also not go away with unassigned. Weight analysts are not disappointed or weigh less than 46 grams.

 

What to say at the end? On mud races, I always went with my legs – whether in long elastics or at least in shorts combined with the sleeves reflective tape. I never regretted it. The cuffs can also be used in training under boundary temperature conditions. Before you warm up, you can protect the lower legs when it gets hot, you just put them on your ankles and keep moving. This legend is usually not quite possible.

Reflective tapes were seniors and children

“Better preventively increase security than wait for something to happen,” says Vera, forty-eight, while putting on a reflective tape on the sleeve of her coat.

 

Just like a number of other seniors and children, the free-of-charge reflexive tapes distributed to the city police at the crossings in yesterday. “Every night when I come home in the dark, I have to go along a road where there is no walkway and public lighting is weak,” she explained her fears of crashing car-working pensioner.

 

From grandchildren he knows that clothes that are equipped with reflective elements from the manufacturer are already being sold, but it is only for the young generation. “It’s expensive, too,” said the senior woman, so yesterday’s “gift” of tape sleeved officers so immensely appreciated. “I’m going to feel safer on the way now,” she smiled with a noticeable calming voice.

 

The police officers know this, and the evidence is sad.

One such happened at the end of last year. Without any reflexive elements in dark clothes, a thirty-five-year-old pedestrian walked out, knocked by a twenty five year old driver. In the dark, the driver did not see the man at all.

 

“Obviously, he did not follow the situation sufficiently ahead of him and did not go so fast as to be able to stop at the distance he had before him. So, in order not to interfere with the obstacle or the person who would appear before him, “he described the sad event in which the pedestrian, regional police spokesman Alex died.

 

The alarming statistics of pedestrian crossings with cars were the main motive for the police officers, in cooperation with the municipality, to decide on the situation with the observance of the principles of road safety for pedestrians.

Therefore, a traffic-safety event took place yesterday morning, giving away to the children who went to school at the crossing of the reflective ribbon. “We are currently responding to pedestrian and especially children’s wear, which is often dark and without reflective elements. It is easily overlooked for reduced visibility,” Milan, the director of Milan’s municipal police, approached.

 

Besides children, elderly people and seniors received the straps. “These are the groups of people who are most vulnerable to traffic on the roads,” added Milan.

“I’m so glad that something is done for the safety of children,” said Zeneca, a police assistant, who accompanied her children to school in the morning, complaining that she was busy in the morning around the school where her children are going, so she is grateful for the morning Supervision of municipal police patrols at schools.

The kids liked the tapes and put them on. “It’s great,” said Makita and Sarah, the schoolgirl, and he was very interested in the tape, “I think it’s good, especially in the shade of a walk, we will certainly use it,” said husband.

 

“It’s great to see us at least. We use reflective elements, and children have them on clothes and briefcases, “said Mother Petra.

“I use a flashlight because most of the year I live in a cottage at Resave and I’m always on my way. This is new and I’m glad I got it, “added Hrbek.

The event was also acclaimed by the regional coordinator BESIP. “The more people use the safety reflective elements, the better. It will certainly have a positive impact on pedestrian safety and accident reduction, “he said.

 

A few tips to move in the dark

Running in the dark has its spell, but it also brings traps. We cannot count so much on our sight, and we become “invisible” to others. Sometimes the reflective vest can give runners some protection. Parks are depopulated and the earlier twilight brings in addition to an unpleasant feeling a real threat of assault. However, it is enough to stick to a few principles to eliminate the risks of the run.

 

The days are slowing down and the nights are coming sooner. Those of us who have got used to running in the evening in the summer are faced with the decision: to run in the dark or to get up and run … in the dark too? If we are not freelancing, we will not pick up too much with the coming winter. But in the dark there are a lot of pitfalls waiting for us, and it does not necessarily have to be just a subversive element that, under the cover of darkness, enters the runner on the unlit route. It can be ourselves if we are uncomfortable with an inappropriate reaction, an inappropriately chosen route, or a bad outfall.

 

  1. Be seen

The main motto of the night runner should sound “Always illuminated!” Or at least try to reflect the surrounding light. If you run along roads or on bicycle trails, you should at least have a small headlamp and ideally the back red light. A reflective tape with LEDs is good, which not only reflects the light but also flashes or flashes. You’ll buy it for less than a hundred crowns at bikes or on the internet.

 

It is also suitable for clothing with reflective elements or at least in bright neon colors, thanks to which you notice yourself at dusk. If you run with the headlamp, be considerate to the opposite: eye-sight and nodding for the greeting we are accustomed to in the light can make them unpleasantly dazzled for tens of seconds. Look straight ahead or head slightly in the opposite direction.

 

  1. Drive upstream

If you run along a road or on a bike path, it may have its advantages – such a route is often illuminated and well-arranged. On the road, we usually do not go to the opposite direction, but we are not doing so much on the bike trail. We should always run against the direction of majority traffic so that we can register cyclists or vehicles against us in good time and avoid them in time.

 

  1. Do not stop your senses

It’s a rule that all our jogging magazines and tutors on self-defense courses keep constantly in our heads, but we just do not like it. Letting your favorite music at home means for many runners to get out of the rhythm. But we also voluntarily give up another important meaning. As if it is not enough that darkness is ruining our eyes. Running with headphones means registering a person, a cyclist or a dog behind you often to the last minute. In the best case, you are scared; you can become an easy victim of an assault. If you cannot run without music, try at least one headset.

 

  1. Keep familiar routes

Investigating in the dark the unexplored areas do not have to pay off. On the one hand, you do not have to guess how far you can get, and you can also hurt yourself in case of impaired visibility. Just an unexpected change in the surface of the route, the asphalt hole, the stones or the narrowing of the road and the unpleasant fall is in the world. If you are bored with the same routes, or you like to indulge in a bit of adrenaline, get yourself a quality headlamp that will illuminate your route. Sometime used the reflective material will be better to keep safety.

 

  1. Citizen with you

The last advice may sound a little too paranoid and morbid. However, a citizen’s passport in the pocket may not serve well only when examining and identifying the body. You can also get a special bracelet ID (about 200 crowns on the internet), which is not only reflective, but you can also include personal information including what medications you take or have an allergy.

 

The basic rule of night’s running is not to make unnecessary problems, whatever they are, to know about themselves and to be more receptive to their surroundings. Then you can enjoy running in the dark as well as on a white day or maybe even better – the dark run has its magic.

Prevent tragedies on the road with wear reflective vest

Since February this year, all pedestrians are required to wear reflective element when moving in poor visibility on the road outside the village. Not all but observe this rule.

 

“In the evening driving from Loch vice I do at the last minute saw a man who not only went on the right side of the road, but not even visible,” he complained driver who saw the pedestrian at the last minute. Just a few seconds but missed the tragedy.

 

In order to avoid these situations, Police launched traffic safety actions that are focused on just mentioned pedestrians. They are held, the first of which took place. Officers at these people on duty to warn them while handing out reflective tape. “Everywhere where there is no street lighting. If a pedestrian is not visibly marked as prescribed by law, can impose fines of up to two thousand crowns on the spot, “said a police officer at the Broun Marcela.

 

Preventive actions have an obligation not only to remind people, but also to highlight the risks, which exhibit no visible indication. “If you are not in areas without lighting equipment mentioned reflective elements, the real danger of becoming involved in an accident,” said Marcela and emphasized those accidents the collision of a passenger car with a pedestrian ends tragically.

 

In the period before reconstruction clutch Beggar – there is an accident, which Walker survived occurred. Since the expansion of the road but that’s happened. One of those officers in the security event beggar approached Miles. And he received from police reflective tape. “The bill I and elements of use,” says the man, who admits to rather go by car. According to him, should be pedestrians visibly marking in any case, even when walking at night on unlit areas rarely.

 

Policemen safety features not only distribute but also point to the appropriate location. “It’s good to be worn on the leg and hand. A lot of people are worn on the wrist, in this case, but they can hide jacket, so it is appropriate to give over a reflective jacket or pants, always on the side of the road, “says Marcela.

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.

Often expensive, they displayed an important consideration technical and best meet the strength and function requirements. The Urban range represents a new step in the manufacture of equipment for bikers and urban scooter riders.
