Use lights and reflective vest when using the bicycle

Immaculate Rudi Vertigo has succeeded in the cold Victorian morning that a hundred political representatives and citizens take their hands out of their pockets to sign up for a triple commitment to collaborate in the end of the tragedy of traffic accidents.

 

Security Adviser Stefanie Heredia, Mayor Javier, Traffic Director and the sub delegate of the Government Anton Saenz de Santa Maria, ex-mayor Jose Angel, athletes like Enact Llanos, ex-cyclists such as Josepha and Juan Carlos Salvador, partners of Stop Racism and citizens in general have assumed not only the commitment to avoid driving after having drunk or not to use the mobile, to use lights and reflective vest when using the bicycle and to respect the parking spaces for disabled people, but to extend These good practices to at least one other citizen.

 

Rudi has participated in the central act of Stop Accidents in Esaki celebrated in Vitoria in which it has been recalled that during 25 people have died in traffic accidents, 9 of them pedestrians.

 

Stop Accidents has celebrated the World Day in Victory of Victims of Road Violence in the Vitoria Renaissance Square in an extensive event sprinkled with messages, complaints and feelings. A large mural called the ‘Tree of Desires’ became the permanent reference for each of the interventions because photographs of some of the people who had died in traffic accidents had been placed there. It remains all of people to care more about the road safety and keep them safe.

 

The Basque association, in a communiqué read in Eskers and Castilian, demanded that those affected by these events should be exempt from paying court fees when they see the need to plead before the Justice and also to address a modification of the Penal Code that raises Imprisonment for drivers who have committed a criminal offense. Normative changes that added to the commitments started by Imam Rude and to those who were pointed, finger high, almost all present.

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.

In addition, not only for your health, but also for your dog’s benefits when you are move well together. 5 nice suggestions for sports you can do with your dog.

 

If you want to move with your dog on a regular basis, please visit the vet first. He can check for any heart, lung or other health problems. It is also important to check your dog for arthritis or musculoskeletal disorders. So do not run your dog for half an hour. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your joint workout and make sure you keep on a regular routine. Rule is important for your dog and forms an extra stick behind the door for yourself.

 

Walking with your dog

A solid walk with your dog is the ideal form of movement for both humans and dogs. The health benefits for you: a stronger heart, lowering blood pressure, more energy, strong bones and a lower risk of depression. In dogs, regular walking can reduce the risk of behavioral problems. There is no fixed guide for the length and duration of a dog to walk. It is fun to gradually work with your dog towards a goal, gradually increasing the pace and duration of the walk. In addition to walking with your dog with dog reflective clothing, there are other sports you can do together.

Tip: Look for places where your dog may run away. For example, go hiking with your dog on a dog beach or in the woods.

 

Dog Dance

If walking you cannot cheat, dancing with your dog might be something for you. Yes, you read well, dance. Dog dancing is a sport for anyone who likes to train with his or her dog and who likes dancing and enjoying music. The sport is suitable for any age. Dog dancing originated from obedience exercises performed on music. If you want more information about this, take a look at the Dutch Dog Dance Bond website.

 

Run with your dog

Running is a good way to lose both energy and to work well. Inform if your breed dog is suitable for racing long distances. For example, a Labrador needs a lot more racing than a bulldog. Wait for your puppy to grow up and gradually build the schedule to a 30-minute circle. This must run for five minutes, warm up, twenty minutes and five minutes of cooling down.

 

Try as much as possible on unpaved trails and walk your dog at the same pace. Dogs are less high than humans and therefore less visible in traffic. Therefore, let your dog walk on the side of the bream. When you walk in the evening, it’s wise to make your dog a reflective vest or rig to do so that he stands out for other traffic.

 

Fitness training

With this sport, it is your intention that your dog will take a course with a number of devices as soon as possible. The devices are divided into (height) jumps, floodlights, passages (such as a tunnel) and wickets. You hire and guide your dog through verbal and non-verbal communication. During this training, you both work on your fitness, while your dog also improves coordination.

 

Skating

This sport is a dangerous activity with an untrained pup. Before you know, you roll in the bushes because your puppy sees a bird. But skating with a lined adult dog is safe with the appropriate training. For your dog, the goal is to run next to you without pulling the line. You can encourage this behavior by rewarding your dog when she is in the right position.

Wear Reflective vests outside the village

The Senate unanimously approved an amendment that, among other things, will allow municipalities to restrict the operation. The norm also mandates pedestrians to wear reflective elements outside the village and allows the police to withhold a small technical license in the event of a poor technical condition of the vehicle.

 

The Senate decided on Wednesday despite the efforts of some senators, who wanted to take police officers the right to measure the speed of the ride or to allow cyclists to ride even after drinking less alcohol.

 

The novel, which also obliges motorists to clean vehicles from ice and also from snow if they prevent them from being out of sight, now, gets the president to sign.

The norm should also allow for a half-year license to be issued to those who would cross the railway crossing at the time of signaling the arrival of the train. The fine for such a crime has not yet increased, as demanded by greens, according to CSSD senator Petro Galas, but in the future it is considering increasing from five thousand Czech crowns to five times.

 

The largest part of the three-hour debate took over the senators’ discussion of the abolition of the right of the police to measure the speed that was advocated by the chairman of the ODS senators and the mayor of Teplice. “The ministry of transport has a negative opinion on the proposal to drop the possibility of measuring the speed of municipal traffic by the police in reflective vest,” the minister of transport, Dan, told the senators. He justified this inter alia by not discussing this change with the authorities concerned and assessing its impact on both traffic safety and radar investment.

 

Kobe argued that many municipalities just want to improve their income, so speeds are measured outside the built-up area. He also pointed to the administration and the increase in unpaid fines for traffic offenses, which he said had climbed from 29 million to 43 million crowns in the past five years.

 

The chairman of the CSSD senators admitted that the city police would not be able to measure the speed of the trip, but it compensates for the insufficient capacity of the Republic Police to ensure a higher level of security in the municipalities. This was argued by Senator. “I speak to myself, because I am a city police sponsor, and I often give her a quick ride,” she admitted.

 

Senate Vice-President proposed to allow cyclists, according to the Austrian model, 0.8 per mile of alcohol in the blood if they were traveling on third-class roads or cycling paths, or alternatively 0.5 per mile. He also wanted to limit the maximum penalty for alcohol for cyclists to 500 crowns. He argued that policemen often choose fines on vineyard cycling trails.

 

To the duty of reflective elements for pedestrians, vests or only strips on the sleeve, the Minister of Transport stated that the violation would amount to a fine of two thousand dollars. Also said the ministry had a deal with the police to give people more of their reflective tapes. He also announced that his office is seeking an agreement with the Czech Association of Insurers to ensure the removal of non-mobile vehicles. He responded to the request of Senator Jake that the government should take action against overtaking offshoots.

The policemen gave people reflective elements

Pedestrians are obliged by law to wear reflective vest at night or otherwise reduced visibility when moving between villages on clothing. This was pointed out by the policemen of the Municipal Police in Reno during their security event, Tomlin Gross, the spokesman of the local town hall, told Zlin.cz.

 

A security event organized by the town police was held on Wednesday 2 March evening. Its main component was the distribution of reflective strips on hand and reflector.

 

“In the framework of prevention, pedestrians in particular have drawn attention to the new legal obligation to wear reflective elements on the clothing when moving between villages and in reduced visibility or at night,” said Alex, the head of the police.

 

“We gave out reflective tapes, pendants and stickers, and bikes, reflectors and lights were prepared for cyclists,” added police officer Jixi Huda, who is responsible for preventive actions for the public in the town council in Reno and for lectures on road safety for schools.

 

“The aim of the event, which we will certainly repeat, is to remind all pedestrians and cyclists the basic rule for safe movement on the roads – to see and be seen,” concluded Pillar.

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.

Police in safety vest detain vehicle registration certificates

If a police officer in safety vest finds that the vehicle is showing serious technical defects in a roadside check, it can withhold a vehicle registration certificate. The driver must have it by law. Retention of this document may prevent traffic accidents caused by such a dangerous vehicle. The driver asks you to return the document to the local and relevant authority. It shall be issued to him without delay as soon as the driver demonstrates by the protocol of carrying out the technical inspection that the defects have been removed. When assessing the technical condition of a vehicle, the policeman must follow a precisely defined list of defects set out in the decree.

 

The current law does not regulate the movement of trucks in road traffic and they are subject to the same rules as pedestrians. This will no longer apply and users will have clear rules and restrictions. If someone uses a so-called personal conveyor, a device, he can only walk on the sidewalk with the speed of walking. “In both cases, must ensure that he does not endanger and restrain other road users,” says Dan in reflective vest.

 

By means of traffic signs, the municipality can restrict the operation of trucks where the conditions for their use are inadequate. This generally preserves the possibility of operating these trucks and, at the same time, gives local authorities the power to regulate their use locally. In case of approval of the law, the Ministry of Transport plans to introduce a new traffic sign prohibiting the movement of trucks.

 

The seaway cannot be moved completely from the sidewalk to the road. Unlike cyclists, seaway people typically borrow and find themselves in the streets without having much experience with driving. Such a means, which is wider than a wheel and has automatic control, would be dangerous on the road both for the users themselves and for the driver.

 

Obligation to clean the vehicle before driving

Drivers will have a specific duty to clean the windscreen and front side glasses from ice, snow and other dirt before driving. Likewise, they will have to remove from the vehicle and cargo pieces of ice and snow that can be released while driving. “This is a basic thing, but the drivers sometimes neglect. If a large piece of ice is dropped from a truck, for example, it is a very dangerous situation that can end up with a road accident, “said Transport Minister Dan.

 

Traffic psychological examination

The amendment also introduces stricter rules for traffic psychological examinations. The aim is that this obligation is not only a formality and not easy to circumvent. The content of the psychological examination will be clearly defined. If the driver gets a negative opinion, he cannot replace him for three months with a positive opinion from another psychologist. On the other hand, however, people will be able to ask for a psychological examination.

 

Bail in the offense

In the event that the driver does not lay down a bail, which the policeman determines because of the risk of circumventing the administrative procedure, the policeman will be able to re-hold the vehicle registration certificate. In addition to the possibility of shutting down the vehicle, the police officer in reflective uniform will have another tool that has a similar effect and can simplify the enforcement of road rules.

Bus drivers wear a Reflective vest as a protest

Support for the so-called Jawbone challenge today is the expression of bus drivers in reflective vest across the country. Politicians say: We have a lot of competitions at a low price; we do not like the public transport conditions. Public procurement terms lead to low wages for drivers. In Prague, trade unionists are heading for the Ministry of Transport.

 

Dozens of drivers in the Liberec Region met today in their reflective jacket for their buses. Politicians say: We have a lot of competitions at a low price; we do not like the public transport conditions.

 

In the orange and yellow vests, Bus line bus drivers in Jawbone were driving on the road today. The trade unionists at the end of September announced a stand-by strike and called for the fight against dumped public transport prices and low wages for drivers. If the problem does not begin within a month, they are ready to strike.

 

At the same time, the trade unionists brought materials to the Ministry of Transport for a bus transport tender in the Hradec Region, calling for tenders to take more account of other parameters, not just the lowest price. “There is nothing about drivers in all these fascicles,” said President of basic trade union organization Bus Line. According to him, today’s protest with the dressing of an orange vest helped 4000 drivers from all over the country.

 

The trade unions, strive to establish a working group in co-operation with the regions and the government, which would develop a unified methodology according to which the regions would issue public bus transport competitions. Tenders should be one of the essential conditions for keeping a minimum wage for drivers.

Don’t forget the reflective vest for avoid fines

On the way to the sea beware of heavy fines abroad. Sober must be careful, for example, to use directional lights in Austria.

 

In Austria, the drivers except for directional lights for the failure to apply the new face fines of more than two thousand Euros should not forget the reflective vest.

 

For not using the turn signal in Austria is subject to fines of up to 2,180 Euros (about 60,000 dollars). This supreme sanction granted by the police in case if you cause an accident or endanger someone’s life.

 

Reflective vests must be in the vehicle and not in the trunk. It penalizes example in Austria or Germany.

 

“When traveling to Italy you must have the necessary equipment vest for each vehicle,” says ÚAMK on its website. “In Austria, the safety vest, although mandatory only for the driver, for the other vehicle is not recommended. If, however, will have on the local road or highway to stop and exit the vehicle is required to have a reflective vest, anyone who leaves the car. “Unlike the Czech waistcoat in some countries ordered traffic rules and no regulations on vehicle equipment.

 

In Slovenia, the driver must pay attention to the fine for navy lupine vignettes, which can reach up to 800 Euros (21,600 dollars). If you pay a fine for driving without a mark in eight days, the fine is halved. It is similar in payment of the fine on the spot. But it is the only possibility of reducing the punishment, Vice warned that attempts to beaten down lower fines sees Slovenia as police attempted corruption.

 

Mediterranean countries within driving distance away are the Czechs still the most popular holiday destination. Last year, Croatia was visited by 721,000 Czech tourists, someone drive a car with reflective clothing; about half a million went to Italy. Over 280,000 Czech tourists went to Austria and a hundred thousand less in Hungary.

Foreign vacation on your own with safety

In 2016, Czechs made 5,552,000 private trips abroad. For longer trips abroad went half the time in a car or on a motorcycle, in short, it was even 78 percent. How to attend a foreign holiday on your own, if possible without any problems of road safety?

 

Longer routes (that is associated with at least four nights) was 4,276,000, short (one to three nights), then 1 276 000. For longer trips abroad went out at 48 percent of the passenger car or motorcycle, 14 percent on board the bus. On shorter trips set off on your own even in 78 percent of cases, another 12 percent chose the bus.

 

Also this year, the summer starts out millions of Czechs on your own to spend at least part of their holiday to some foreign destination. What do you do to make the journey and stay as smooth as possible without major complications? We recommend that you pay attention to the following areas:

Roadworthiness

In addition to checking the technical condition of the vehicle it is also important to remember to recheck its mandatory equipment and its eventual completion, depending on which country we are heading. I remember a sufficient number of reflective vests. At least one jacket (for the driver) is placed into the vehicle cabin.

 

What to bring

Indeed, it is not wrong to at least two or three days before leaving to write what all of them have to take on holiday – will need to be on medication, also check the validity of credentials or license.

Luggage and storing

 

Space vehicles are limited options, as well as its capacity. Vacation is therefore good to take with them only really necessary. “At the bottom of the luggage compartment store luggage is the greatest and most difficult. Conversely hand, we have everything we need for the necessary paths. Also – for sure – warning triangles, medical and reflective vests for occupants “specifies Roman Boesky Team road safety.

 

Do not forget the important documents

What not to forget? When traveling within the EU sufficient valid identity card, a driver must carry a valid driving license. Do not forget the health insurance card and any cost of medical care. And take along a green card and record of the accident. It is certainly worthwhile to check whether we have current telephone numbers of our health insurance and the insurance company with which we have insured their vehicle. It is also good to clarify what we are due to motor vehicle insurance claim – such a free assistance with towing or failure in the event of an accident. In case of serious complications it is best to have the phone number of the Czech Embassy in the country.

 

The driver must be fit

The driver must be fit. Now it depends on how far the journey safe and pleasant. And during the ride to remember to take regular breaks. Say every 2 and half hours, twenty minutes of rest will not hurt. Beware of fatigue. Its effect is similar to that of alcohol. Heavily tired driver is just as dangerous as the one who just drank two shots of hard liquor. The probability of causing fatal accidents increased 7 xs. “Fatigue is responsible for up to 10 percent of all accidents on motorways are up to 20%. The most dangerous is the period from midnight till four o’clock in the morning. Fewer however, to know that we can surprise and fatigue during the day – usually between the second and four o’clock in the afternoon, “says Roman. If at all possible, it is good for long journeys behind the wheel turns.

 

Travel must be safe and restful

I journey to the longed-for destination and it is part of our vacation. So why not enjoy it properly? For all should take place comfortably and safely. Passengers should remember that it is the driver, in whose hands their lives and health. “In any case, it is good to reckon with the possibility that stuck in a traffic jam. Therefore, it is good to always have enough fuel in the tank in the cab for something to eat and drink enough. Any aggression can only exacerbate the situation, “says Roman with wear a safety vest.
