The same people who, since this weekend, almost all bloom on the graves of France, including those of the region. “I think this is the first year that I see so many people walking around with reflective material buckets, brushes, flowerpots, since last week … this morning, it does not stop! ”

 

Just steps from his office, posted at the main entrance with its bright yellow vest, watches the comings and goings of visitors. Holder of a day, a member of the association Canal (Assistance return to work) the rest of the time, “relieves people to arm a little too full of flowers,” or those “who have trouble walking.” “Oh no, that I refuse, it’s not my type!  “He laughs.

And then there are the chapels (over 500), impressive gray graves that still bear the names of the largest families who made his fortune in Roubaix industry in the years 1800 – 1900.

 

Here, cracks, broken tiles or even yard grills sometimes replace pomponettes as an ornament. The few people crossed in the affected paths turn out to be visitors, architecture lovers or just curious.

In case of failure, mandatory safety triangle?

Must we always report your vehicle stopped by the security triangle? 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 his triangle?

Must we always get his security triangle when you’re down? According to the Highway Code (Article R416-19), 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 an emergency warning triangle with reflective tape.

 

The obligation to put in place the triangle does not apply when this action constitutes a manifest endangering the life of the conductor (Decree of 30 September 2008). The vehicles on the hard shoulder and does not impinge on the floor are not subject to this requirement, either.

 

Reminder – emergency warning triangle must be placed on the floor at a distance of about 30 meters, or beyond if necessary, for it to be visible to drivers coming in the same lane. In addition, highway, remember to store behind the guardrail.

The mandatory safety kit in Europe too

If you travel abroad, note that in some European countries set the mandatory safety kit of accessories is not the same. For example, in our Spanish neighbors, each car must have 1 Reflective safety vest and 2 pre-warning triangles. Conversely, Austria, drivers must have two jackets and one triangle.

Třebeničtí pupil’s yesterday morning before school to meet with the policewoman with  Reflective vest from printing department and Prevention and the new local police officer.

 

The aim was to examine the pupils, if properly and safely cross the street. The speech was also about “the absolute priority” of pedestrians at crossings and that this is an unwritten rule not to rely. Every schoolboy then received a reflective tape with information on the importance of its use.

“Children are on the road more at risk than other walkers. Less focus and cannot yet estimate the distance well and anticipate the situation. The more important is to be on the road also maximizing visibility. Bright clothes, school bag and shoes with reflective accessories will make their daily journey to school and from school safer, “explained Paul, spokespeople.

 

Pedestrians, beware. Do not forget to bring reflective elements

Beware of thieves and pedestrians in dark areas around graveyards, police warn. It was Wednesday evening because many families set off to light a candle deceased to the cemetery and honor and their memory. Busy will not only cemeteries, but also roads and paths. Annually, the police recorded an increase in thefts and accidents.

 

In the field, it is true even of “All Souls’ Day were policemen moving around cemeteries and in busy places, but they have not in such a large scale as just last weekend, when the police with safety vest had a nationwide event focused on the driver, but also monitor the nearby cemeteries.

 

“Officers from the local police departments to patrol the roads are normally well as foot patrols appear on some cemeteries,” advised Michael Richter, spokesman police.

 

Pedestrians should also have taken into account that they must wear according to the amendment of last year, at least one reflective material, light from a mobile phone or handheld flashlight is definitely not enough. These equipments have appealed and policemen from Rakovnicko random and it will also spokeswoman Michelle Richter control.

 

Visible up to 200 meters

According to police statistics, only in 2016, died in the Czech Republic, 131 pedestrians because drivers on the road are not seen in time. Even policemen Rakovnicko are planning a publicity campaign where they want pedestrians to explain the effectiveness of reflective elements. The marked pedestrian is required according BESIP visible to drivers at dusk or darkness for up to two hundred meters.

 

Goer dressed in dark clothing is seen by the driver of the vehicle at a maximum distance of twenty meters.  “Publicity campaign plan to the traffic police in the Thursday, November 10, and not just in the morning but in the afternoon, when it was already getting dark. In addition, we will distribute reflective strips, “said Michael Richter.

 

“We use reflective tape quite frequently, and it came even before the new law. I travel a lot on the bike on the road and without these elements would not even did not depart. It is enough when summer rains in the evening. I think that every normal person for their own safety, these elements used routinely. I’ll take it because even now when the road to the cemetery, although children go off the road on a dirt road.”

Reflective accessory keep your safety

“At night, all cyclists are gray” almost. In any case, a rider without reflective vest is not seen is a rider in danger. And before the multitude of lighting systems, it is difficult to recognize which are tailored to our needs. So are you an active cyclist or liability facing the bicycle lighting?

 

The active illumination means emit its own light through a board energy source. The main objective of the active light is to see and also to be seen. Let’s see what kind of lighting best match according to your cycling. A removable light is interesting if one uses several bikes. The disadvantages are: you need to transport your equipment each time on you when you park, to prevent theft. These accessories usually run on batteries that wear out quickly.

 

In general, a taillight LEDs (LED) red is recommended. Indeed, it is a powerful, economical, reliable light, and inexpensive. Namely, the lateral visibility is not as effective with a bulb (the diode beam is narrower). Up front, several choices available to you. For example the new headlights bright white LEDs (3W) are more effective than the old bulb lamps. More and more bikes are equipped with dynamo LED headlamp whose power can reach 40 Lux.

 

In poorly lit roads, halogen headlights are more effective than single bulbs. However, if these lights are feeding by batteries or batteries, backup time is very low. In fact, they consume a lot of energy. To counter this disadvantage, there are devices that are battery attached to the bicycle frame. They are heavier, but indispensable on long regular route.

 

The reflectors are mandatory equipment on his bike: white in front, red at the rear, and oranges on the pedals. There are also tires with reflective retro flanks that provide to have wheel reflectors (or ability to add adhesive reflective tape. It is possible to add additional reflectors and other colors in the wheels.

 

In case the bike is used regularly, it is best to use a lighting dynamo. Steady light with no risk of flight, complete autonomy, modest weight, durability, ecological, inexpensive. Main drawback: there is almost no lighting or when you are stopped.

Lighting battery is also used to run daily. But beware: rechargeable battery, power down quickly at the end of cycle. You may complete your journey in complete darkness.

 

The batteries are a good solution if you roll little night. Only this is not very environmentally friendly. In the article How to be visible bike while protecting its environment, you will find no batteries fires that have little negative impact on the planet.

Note that there are also lighting systems with magnetic induction contactless (without battery). The brand specializes in this area their latest range of front and rear lights RL 700 is powerful.

 

Wearing high visibility vest is mandatory open road at night or when visibility is inadequate, since 1 October 2008.

It is advisable to wear the recommended equipment for cycling to enhance visibility. If you wear a backpack, think of the reflective covers. Clothes can replace the wearing of the vest, provided they are approved. Several other bright accessories can be more discreet but equally effective: armbands, greenhouses pants, gloves.

Safety vest – So children are seen even in darkness and bad weather

The cold season begins and it brings mainly cloudy and poor visibility with it. Children are on the road to the most vulnerable road users. They are particularly vulnerable if they are not sufficiently “visible” to other road users.

 

To be seen better in rain, fog or twilight, children should wear bright, high-contrast clothing. The trade offers – pretty handy – even jackets with reflective tape on. For jackets or west without incorporated reflectors reflective designs can subsequently ironed for little money. Also good choices are reflective bands that can be worn around wrists and ankles, and if necessary can be applied quickly and find any jacket pocket.

 

For children who are traveling by bicycle, there are even bicycle helmets that shine. Should not be forgotten, the control of lights and reflectors on the wheel, which are used frequently in the dark season. Because: Especially with the battery after a long summer, where the lights were not needed, suddenly empty.

 

The school knapsacks have also reflective areas. If these are with stickers, they do not serve the traffic safety. The classic mounted on jacket or bag, are often lost. This has also Ulrike, principal of elementary school found: “tear off quickly.”

 

Therefore, there is for the first year of school for several years now bright yellow west from ADAC hooded. They are not only quite loud and clearly visible on a few meters distance from other road users; they also have reflective strips and look pretty from. The following is the I-males. “The vests are cool”, the students have found. Class teacher Cornelia has distributed the fluorescent jackets a few days ago in its class. Almost all of the 20 children are wearing the reflective vest every day. The traffic safety training at the elementary school they become real little traffic detectives. And so it should ultimately be in the best case.

Locating device and safety vest for dog

His dog always and everywhere will find and protect him from attacks of wild animals – that was the desire of Bjorn. For several years now, the dog handler finding equipment and safety vest for dogs.

 

Bjorn had always looking for his dogs after the hunt. Only two years ago drew, where he also has his hunting ground.

Previously ran the trained electrician up to 200 kilometers to its former place of residence in Essen. “We had to see that we, the dogs will find quickly,” says Cohen.

Out of necessity, the navigation device for dogs originated. The equipment purchased Cohen; the software has the 47-year-old self-improvement developed.

 

Locating in real time

All dog owners need to regain their four-legged, the locating device and a mobile phone. “The Navi is secured in the collar. With one app you can be on the phone to display the last location of the dog, “says Cohen. But that’s not all: In real-time holders can watch the distance that puts her dog – and so easy to find him. The range is unlimited, he could locate dogs in Finland or Austria, says Cohen.

 

As in a hunting accident one of his dogs died because a boar had hit him on the carotid artery, Cohen were the old armor no longer safe enough and he developed his own.

“Our reflective vests are firmly connected from stab-resistant material and with the neck protection.” So could prevent boar fall on the dog’s neck.

 

Handwork

 

They are manufactured to order west, they are made to measure and even sewn. About ten to 15 pieces finished Cohen and his staff every day during the hunting season from September to January. “In the other months it is quieter.” The entire West is adjustable and especially easy with about 200 to 300 grams.

 

Thus, the dogs are to see when it is dark, all jackets are sewn in reflective tape. One hundred percent protection against injuries admits it but even at its West does not, says Cohen. “The vital organs but are protected by our vest.”
