It’s bad idea to do this

The truth is that the idea promises. Imagine that every time radar you get caught at excessive speed, the camera photo you take your car disappear some of the numbers and letters in your registration. Such a solution prevents, among other things, your ID, and therefore you get rid of a fine for speeding. Surprisingly, this system is not new, nor a false trick. The idea is as simple as cover letters and numbers of registration with some stickers with a reflective surface, which bounces light flash radar, so that the resulting picture is distorted, preventing those letters are read and those numbers, and therefore your ID. In any case, to avoid fines for speeding there are no miracle solutions beyond the most effective of them all, not exceed the speed limits. And as we shall see this solution, which a priori seems so good, it’s a tremendously bad idea.

 

Apparently, in Germany it has become fashionable these days to install stickers of reflective material like this in the registration of cars, as told in ABC these days. It’s as simple as order them online and place in a few seconds. A Russian has popularized the web, and even shows their installation and operation in a Youtube video somewhat old, which is already close to 2 million views. But to get them not have to go that far, far less. And in fact we are talking about a solution that takes commenting on Spanish forums for years, so even the DGT has already reported on more than one occasion to use, and has extreme vigilance and persecution .

 

Germany surprising that it is precisely the country that has become fashionable. In its main motorways sections abound no speed limit, and in areas where the speed is restricted is for a very good cause, as being a very close area to a city, complicated weather conditions, or too much traffic congestion at peak times. And it’s dangerous if you don’t have some reflective tape on it. Remember that no speed limit of the Autobahn are not permanent, but depend in turn on other variable speed limits that are noticed by light signals as they decide those responsible for traffic management.

The big problem is that the risk of resorting to solutions miraculous how are you priori is really high, for the odds are that fraud is identified, and the sanctions that you could face for it. We talk about really tough sanctions, beside which a fine for speeding may seem ridiculous. A simple risk management and you should discourage resort to this trick, and opt for legal methods, such as warning devices based on GPS radar and the position of fixed radars, and the usual position of mobile radars, and caution.

 

* An enrollment in poor condition and carries a serious penalty, with a fine of 200 €. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

* Manipulate your car license plate to hinder identification is considered a very serious offense and is punishable by fines of up to 6,000 € and the withdrawal of six points card. A few weeks ago we presented the case of a motorist who had been fined € 2,100 for tuition handles your motorcycle with reflective elements, to transform a C in a G with black tape.

 

Identify a vehicle with a manipulated enrollment does not seem overly complicated. It is true that, apparently, these stickers are not recognized by the naked eye. But if mobile radar detects a speeding offense captures with his camera, and check that enrollment numbers are missing, how you think it will take to prosecute the offender to intercept and process the appropriate complaint?

Visible on the way to school with their reflective satchels

For this school year, parents should incorporate a host of parameters to well equip their offspring. And the binder is an essential element. Furthermore the weight distribution of books and the back support in the child, the issue of visibility on the way to school is also crucial.

In Germany, the legislator has long taken the lead. A law requires manufacturers to equip the back and sides schoolbags at least 10% of reflective material. Moreover, the bag must comprise at least 20% of fluorescent materials. “Every year, road safety advocates buying retro-reflective tape to paste on school bags,” explains the director of road safety, Isabelle.

“We also run a campaign with small snowmen to hang bag back of reflective fabric or elsewhere. They are sold to municipalities which then distribute to their students, “she says. The presence of reflective surfaces on the satchel or clothing can identify a silhouette to 150 meters in the dark. A big difference because the car lights will allow seeing a figure at 30 meters.

High visibility vest compulsory for the car

High visibility vest, which is part of the compulsory vehicle; it belongs to the cab car and not in his suitcase. This is a basic lesson with which in recent days have encountered (and mingle can continue) motorists during traffic controls in the area of the metropolis. Central Bohemian police had engaged in preventive actions aimed at increasing visibility for motorists.

Its mission is to remind motorists obligation to use the vest whenever the driver out of the car, in order to solve a technical malfunction or accident. Now why should he have on hand – and not in the trunk reminded policewoman Monica?

Having a car in a reflective vest designed for the chauffeur duty – policemen, however, highlight the need to ensure security for the entire crew. The ideal is that for a rainy day should vest in the car ready with everyone sitting in it.

Yet it does not remain just rhetoric. As part of preventive police transmit a vest to a controlled driver. Designed just for passengers, “explained Monica. In addition, since the drivers were heard very positive response.

Reflective vest not the end

In just the first 13 days of the campaign distributed police during the nine audits in total 462 hi visibility vests; most in the nearest metropolis (in the region of Prague: West – within the territorial division of the Messenger of police activity – it was equal to a hundred and Prague-Country: East 20).

By far but still not all vest end. The current wave of the campaign is mapped out at until Dec. 15, when police officers with bulletproof jackets still meet motorists – and additional checks are going until February.

Reflective tape banish death

For drivers who stand out from the car in dealing with crisis situations, the use of warning reflective vests responsibility – as a useful supplement would be, however, the police also recommended pedestrians. Especially in the current season with short days, long nights and sometimes lousy visibility even at noon.

Without exaggeration, because in the dark or in the rain, can be a matter of life and death. For example, while the figure in a blue dress (yes, practically invisible, not just black!) Can only observe from 18 meters reflective tape are visible from up to 200m of distance. The driver who travels 75 km / h, while it needs about 30 meters out to react and managed to avoid pedestrians …

Reflective band: A necessity for road safety

Another accident killed two people on the road this weekend. The regional observatory for road safety is sounding the alarm. Pedestrians are particularly affected. The lack of lighting and reflective tape at night is a real problem.

Last Saturday, a pregnant woman and a teenage girl were killed in a car accident on the road of Apatou. They were not wearing a belt with reflective tape. Their deaths bring to twenty-four the number of fatalities on the roads of Guyana since the beginning of the year. The figure is increasing sharply compared with last year, according to the regional observatory for road safety. Last year for the same period, fifteen deaths related to traffic accidents were recorded. “I despair a little, we did a lot of prevention but apparently that’s not enough,” sighs Didier, director of the regional observatory for road safety in Guyana.

Speed is at the head of the causes and alleged aggravating circumstances. This year, ten people have died in accidents related to excessive speed, according to the balance sheet as at September 4th. Alcohol and / or drugs, are not far behind with eight deaths, and then come the helmet of default (four killed), the fault belt (two killed in Apatou September 3), priority (a shot) and the lighting failure (one killed). Pedestrians are part of this sorry record. Of the six killed in 2016, five were not wearing reflective vest while walking at night on the roadside.

“WE DO NOT CONVINCING BY PUNISHMENT”

Last year, between January and September, one pedestrian was killed on the road. Given this assessment, the authorities react. Like the Gendarmerie Company of Saint-Laurent du Maroni, who organizes an awareness campaign tomorrow? From 18 hours, four yellow safety vests dispensing stations will be set up in Saint-Laurent and Mana.

The prefect Martin Jaeger emphasizes the safety of pedestrians and two-wheelers. “We must stop thinking that it is because we see a vehicle that the driver sees us,” insists the prefect. He appealed to citizens’ initiatives to strengthen security on the roads and would mobilize associations and traders to distribute reflective bands. The two-wheels that have no light may be fined and radars continue to flash back and forth but, according to the prefect, “are not convinced by the repression.” The town councils should, in turn, address the issue of road lighting. Some lines are not lit and no channels are arranged for pedestrians. To reduce the number of road deaths, each shall adopt a responsible driving.

Walking bus: Children in hi vis vest walk to school

Germaine Muller borrowed yesterday, a mode of transport rather unusual for 6 children to go to school: the walking bus. Understand a walking bus. Since the beginning of the winter holidays, equipped with its fluorescent yellow safety vest, Sebastian made “the driver”. He volunteers accompanied the children on a route determined in advance. Two points of appointment are fixed, one Church Street, the other in front of the old Town Hall. The service set up by the two wheels Action Committee at several institutions, at the initiative of the town, aims to promote the smooth movement.

The same car for 500 meters is a project immediately appealed to Sebastian. “I’ve never taken the car to take my son to school Mateo says the father, green at heart. I will not overload the traffic with my car, and do not use gasoline. It’s a lifestyle. “” Not only children who came to school alone can now be under the supervision of an adult, but it also allows those who come by car to walk, do some activity. Reflective tape is a security guard for children on road.” adds Evelyn Günter, municipal councilor for youth. However, the sauce is still struggling to take. “Yesterday, I went with two children. People are not informed enough, “laments Sebastian.”Many parents have also become accustomed to taking their car to 500m,” adds Fabien Masson.

Of the 175 parents who responded to the questionnaire on travel patterns distributed ten living less than 500m from the school explaining take their car. To address the deficit popularity of walking buses, the Cadr soon organize a tour of the classes to inform students. Meanwhile, the project is emulated. The association of students of the school parents has already announced its intention to create a line that would join kindergarten to primary school. Also large sum of reflective vests are being distributed to ensure their safety.

Children protected by safety vests on way to school

Some days after the return to school of Reze, near Nantes, Julian and his friends are waiting for the bus. At first glance, nothing distinguishes the students who are preparing to ride scooters or bikes. But on 5 November, perhaps will be otherwise. All high school students using the county school transportation network will indeed wear a fluorescent yellow safety vest up and down the bus. This measure of the General Council of Loire-Atlantique is the only moment in France. Objective: improve the visibility of teenagers near the car with reflective tape, an area considered “particularly at risk.”

The reflective vest should be presented to the driver. Otherwise, sanctions “ranging from a warning to temporarily” taken. Nearly 30,000 safety vests will be distributed in the coming weeks, at the expense of the general council (60 000). The gift does not cause the enthusiasm of teenagers. “This is nonsense. It is large enough to pay attention to the cars, “Julian critical.”It’s a good idea for security, but would also impose on those who return home on foot or bike,” suggests another student. “A yellow jacket with reflective tape, it is shame, sneers a third. It will front the driver and we will remove it immediately after. “As for parents, they welcomed the initiative, but doubt its implementation.”No one can verify if they wear the vest in the street. In the car, it is not used much, “said Thierry.”The children are in danger, especially in rural areas when it is dark, insists Christiana, general secretary of the CIPF. Wearing the safety vest, it is also a matter of education. When we made it mandatory helmet on tours, there were already many skeptics. “

Road safety: Reflective tape on school bags

The Road Safety wants to make mandatory the fluorescent bands and reflective tape on children’s school bags.

Eighty-six children less than 12 years were killed on the roads of France in 2015 and 4295 were injured. Facing this poor record, the Road safety calls for a general mobilization through a new campaign “Zero children killed on the roads of France.”

Among the measures unveiled by the association to stop this mortality is the requirement to include fluorescent strips and reflective heat transfer tape on all school satchels. When night falls early, the children would be well visible at 150 meters instead of 30 meters. “With any law, safety devices would be widespread, fairly large and mostly well placed in front, behind and to the side,” said the Parisian Anne, President of the Association Road Safety.

“A third of young people killed on the journey from home to school”

This measure was inspired by the German model where 20% of the area of school backpacks is covered with reflective tape, and the schoolchildren are required to wear safety vest on way to school. The device seems to work: there are proportionately fewer children killed on German roads in France.

Philippe, the accident specialist children in accident Laboratory of Biomechanics and analysis of human behavior (Lab), “all we can do to reduce child mortality is worth taking.”Especially that “a third of young pedestrians injured or killed on the road is on the home-school journey.”

Secure management of all pedestrian crossings

The Road safety also requires a whole lot of other measures including a VAT rate of 5.5% for car seats against 20% today and generalization of pedestrian collision avoidance systems on all new vehicles.

It also wants a speed limit to 30 km/h around schools, gyms, parks and public gardens and secure management of all pedestrian crossings with zebra and a stop line one meter before passing. Also the government would give each schoolchild a reflective vest for free in order to enhance the safety awareness.

Taxi companies must compensate affected in traffic accidents

The statement was made the Supreme Court to convict a company in Cucuta for damages suffered by a woman who was hit by a taxi driver in reflective vest.

On 13 March 2001 a woman on a motorcycle in the urban area of Cucuta (Norte de Santander) was hit by a taxi driver who did not respect traffic rules. In action he suffered serious injuries on his body by which had to be surgically operated. (See Fault Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court)

Because violence hit the woman had a brain trauma, injuries prevent you from doing sport, recreational activities, and even have a married life. The victim reported the driver, identified as Jose Trinidad Torres Galvez, as well as a lawsuit against Cucuta Conveyor Cooperative S.A. and Liberty Saguaros S.A.

On February 24, 2011 in court ruling civil court room Cucuta denied claims in the application, when submitting an appeal the Superior Court of the Judicial District of Cucuta who endorsed the demand for material, moral and physiological damages arising from injuries caused by indexing interests.

The taxi company disagreed and filed an extraordinary appeal to the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court. With a presentation by Judge Luis Armando Villanova Tools he reminded that taxi companies are obliged to compensate those affected by traffic accidents.

In the legal debate the arguments the taxi driver who felt that the blame was unique to the victim since he had no driving license, compulsory insurance, helmet, safety vest and driving at high speed on a path of high flow they were rejected vehicle, meanwhile the Transportation Cooperative Cucuta Ltda. Resisted requests by “lack of responsibility”, having no material or legal guardian of the taxi involved, because it did not explode and only entered the owner relationship agreement for use of its name.

Remember the Supreme Court that the contract signed between the company and the driver was responsible for the former as “watcher generating activity injury” by which is subject to reproach the fact that want to evade this legal relationship face to the court action seeking reparation for the damage caused.

For the Civil Chamber there is enough to consider that there is a direct relationship after signing the affiliation contract law. “It is a duty of care, exercise power of command, leadership and effective control of the vehicle, assuming duties of diligence”.

“The affiliation agreement through which the owner of the vehicle with reflective tape is authorized to perform the public service in the respective mode, therefore, makes the company subject of rights and duties and the burden imposed on them respond for damages are caused to third parties that are caused to third parties in the exercise of the dangerous activity that involved the mobilization of motor vehicles to satisfy the aforementioned service.”
