Children and adults wear reflective vest for safety

Numerous clubs are organizations and companies to inform on Friday together. For the visitors there is plenty to look at and to taste.

For children to be seen on the roads, bright and reflective vest and school bags are important. What to note only that is the subject of Road Safety.

 

No drinking and driving and a bicycle helmet: Road safety is far more than the health, clothing, equipment, knowledge and proper behavior in an emergency are also included… At the first Road Safety Day tomorrow, Friday children and adults can learn a lot about it – and try it out.

 

The idea was born at the inauguration of civil protection Hall in September, says Tanya, recently head of the police station. Red Cross and fire they had then asked whether a joint exercise would be possible with the police. During the preparation has become of it a great day of action, which is now tomorrow, Friday, December 2 takes place.

 

At 15 o’clock is the joint rescue exercise of police, fire brigade and the Bavarian Red Cross in the playground. But there is a much more extensive program. She was pleasantly surprised at how much commitment and ideas, there has been in the preparation, told the police boss. Also herself lying on traffic safety at heart, she says: She had even been the victim of a serious car accident. “I am suffering today under it.”

 

That people are a bit more secure in traffic on the road that is the goal of the first traffic safety tags. More than a dozen clubs, organizations and companies have prepared a variety of information and actions. Visitors can look, try and ask questions numerous experts. Of course, visitors can see ambulances, police and fire trucks and learn about the work of rescue and security services. But Tanya says: “For traffic safety every individual can make a contribution.” For example, are the proper diet for a good circulation, good vision and the right equipment important? The optician can make an eye test, test in the Road Safety with a noise glasses, how to be drunk. There is information on alcohol and drug prevention and brief training in first aid.

 

“Together safe” is the theme of the day – and so all should be addressed, both big and small. It’s about the car, school bus, bike. Children can be trained to “Children Commissioner”, the adult’s backward parallel parking practice with the trailer. Students present a fashion show on “security through visibility” and provide information about school bags and driver education. The net proceeds from the beverage and food sales the day of the Road Patrol Augsburg will be donated to youth traffic school.

 

The Road Safety Day takes place on Friday, December 2 at the bus station, the playground and inside the elementary and middle school. Morning 8:45 to 12:00 are the elementary, middle and high school students on site, from 13:30 to 17 o’clock; there is the program to the public.

End of Reflective Armband: it’s official

It is official: the bikers do not have to wear the Reflective armband. A publication in the official newspaper of January 1, 2013 ending a year against an absurd decree, he said: “Decree of 18 December 2012 repealing the order of 3 January 2012 on the retro reflective devices worn by all drivers or passengers a motorcycle with an engine capacity of 125 cm3 or a vehicle of the category L5e a power exceeding 15 kW.”

 

Hiccups

Remember, there is now a year to the day, Jean-Luc, then Delegate for Road Safety, launched a decree to force wearing a retro-reflective device 150 cm2 for any driver two motorized -Wheels greater than 125 cm3.

 

This decision followed many hiccups created by the government of the day. What was a reflective vest became armband. A narrowing is caused particularly by the anger of many riders out in the streets of major cities in France.

 

Suspension

Following the 2012 presidential election and the appointment of a new interior minister, Manuel Valla, the tone changed. At a press conference November 27, 2012, he announced the suspension of the “decree cuff” after the first meeting of the Committee for Road Safety.

 

FMWC

A victory for the French Federation is Angry Bikers (FFMC), which has continued to struggle against this decree full of nonsense. On 24 and 25 March 2012, for example, thousands of bikers had then responded to the call FMWC throughout France: in Paris in particular, nearly 15,000 people marched through the streets.

 

The meetings of the new NSRF about reflective equipment, which will begin early this year, will focus closely on two wheels. At the conference of November 27, Manuel Valla was explained: “The motorized two-wheelers and especially motorcyclists will be the subject of attention because they use a mode of travel that makes them particularly vulnerable motorcyclists are in 2011, 23% of motor vehicle users killed on the road. ”

Hope that future steps will be taken with a little more discernment than the cuff.

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.

The police in safety vest recruit new recruits

In Chile, we found the way to remedy the abandoned dogs and the problems of patrols! Indeed, now the Chilean police in safety vest adopt the stray dogs so that they become companions of ground.

 

The Chilean military police, also called “Carabineers”, has decided to recruit new field agents, and they can be said to have dogs! Indeed, the stray dogs of the town of Quileute have now become true carabineer.

 

Dressed in their reflective waistcoats, like their human colleagues, the dogs take their missions very seriously. And thanks to this good functioning, dogs have housing, food and are safe. In return, all four legs must protect their colleagues and keep them company during long patrols.

 

The police’s initiative was put in place following the death of a stray dog in front of the police station … the latter was overthrown by a car, and this tragic accident upset part of the brigade. Since then, the carabineers are determined to save and protect the abandoned dogs!

 

The new police dogs are already well used to their new job. Indeed, when their human colleagues go into a trade, the doggies have to wait wisely at the entrance that one returns to look for them … and it works!

 

Quileute’s dogs wear reflective vest has nothing more to fear from wandering thanks to these wonderful policemen! An absolutely formidable initiative is that could give ideas to other police stations hopefully.

Poland imposes yellow vest to pedestrians

Yes, you read correctly. In Poland, it will soon wear a reflective vest around on foot. Specifically, a project under discussion in law in the Polish Parliament provides that persons traveling by night, and outside cities, will wear the famous expensive vest (or not) to Karl Lagerfeld, or other clothing with stripes reflective. The text, adopted on 13 June by the Diet (equivalent of the National Assembly), has yet to be considered by the Senate and could come into force by the end of the year.

 

This amendment to the Highway Traffic Act proposed by the Liberal government of Donald Tusk and voted unanimously, is the only measure found by deputies to respond to road hazards affecting the country. Polish roads are among the most dangerous in Europe, as recalled this article from The Economist. “Poland has a mortality rate on the road to 110 million, almost double the European average (60), and even pathetic in relation to the United Kingdom (30)”, tells the British liberal weekly.

 

These traffic fatalities are mostly motorists but also among them cyclists or pedestrians. He regularly comes to speeding drivers tomb to open narrowly avoid nobody journeying on making sidewalk office. The night, which starts at 15 hours in the winter, the risks are even higher. We move on foot of a small town to the other, after drinking a glass of beer or even vodka, or just you come home after a day’s work.

The yellow vest, presented as a comprehensive insurance by his supporters, yet does not please everyone. The journalist Kowalski published on his blog, an article that rebels against this omnipotence granted to the automobile. The text has been seen more than 100,000 times and generated hundreds of comments, most hostile to “oblivious pedestrians”.

 

Speed drunk. Rather than encourage motorists to respect the limits speed, ask radar or speed bumps or establish a technical inspection of vehicles, we choose to defer responsibility for accidents on pedestrians. In other words, if a pedestrian not wearing a yellow vest is reversed, at night and in the countryside, it will be possible to exempt the driver from responsibility, even if he hurtled at high speed and with alcohol in blood… Poland does not have, like France with the Baiter Act 1985, a law considering the driver responsible when his motorized object is involved in an accident.

 

“After the entry of the country into the European Union in 2004, European funds were used to build beautiful roads on which we got used to driving fast, well beyond the 90 km / h permitted” recounts Olivier Schneider, a French-Polish activist ( his blog here, in Polish ) who writes a column on transport on the FM radio . “The car is still queen in Poland,” says the activist. There are some months when the government of Warsaw has proposed radar installations on Polish roads, most of the political parties themselves up against it “draconian”. Radar in areas where we have already seen accidents, perhaps, they claimed in essence, but not willing to chance on the roads.

 

The debate on road safety and the place of the automobile in society causes, in Poland as elsewhere, lively discussions. In Warsaw or Krakow, battalions of police verbalize pedestrians suddenly fines of 100 zlotys (€ 25) passing through the red light or outside zebra crossings. Regularly, the opportunity of a driving license for cyclists or pedestrians even comes up.

Road safety – Balance of five days of road checks

A significant slowdown from the A68 to exit Gaelic was caused by a magnitude control nature of gendarmes Sunday Ascension bridge back tonight. Hundreds of controlled and few offenses vehicles.

 

The figures for road safety early this year are quite encouraging but still fragile. Three killed are to be deplored against twelve last year at the same time. However, since the beginning of the year, a slight increase in injury accidents is recorded (41 against 39) and injuries (61 against 58).

 

To ensure the safety of users on the roads of the Tarn and encourage caution, the gendarmes of the Tarn gendarmerie group increased by 24% the road police and 22% speed controls with interception at the first quarter of 2016. 208 retentions permit took place in 2015 against 142 in the same period.

 

Sunday evening from 18:30 to 20 hours, twenty-five soldiers in safety clothing of the company and BMO Saint conducted road checks at the roundabout Massac in the Toulouse direction in the presence of Colonel Sylvain and the director of office of the prefect of Tarn Astrid. Speed checks were carried out upstream of the control that has caused a huge slowdown on the A68 from Gaelic found.

 

More generally, these are 340 personnel of the Tarn gendarmerie group who took turns on the roads of the department during the Ascension Bridge 4 to 8 May It was conducted with 106 speed controls interception 36 speed checks (automated sanction control) and 282 services “Police road.”

In terms of offenses, Tarn military statement 74 speeding with intercepting retentions 4, 213 speed control in automated sanction (CSA) also conducted 15 blood alcohol retentions which 7 and 6 lines in narcotics, including 6 retentions.

On the five days of tighter controls were also sanctioned 16 refusal priority, 9 phone use findings driving and 18 faults of security equipment.

 

Since the beginning of the year, special attention will be paid to the fight against dangerous behaviors including alcohol and drug, speeding and failure to comply priorities. Indeed, alcohol and speed are the main causes encountered in crashes, and 10% of accidents are due to the priority rules offenses.

 

By 2020, the objective set by the government is to go under the 2000 deaths per year. It is necessary to remember that in 1973, the peak of road deaths was reached with 18 000 deaths. If these figures give an idea of the extent of progress since they also recall that ensuring safety on the roads is a long-term work that requires the investment of each.

 

Before starting the car and motorcycle

For cars – Check the pressure and the tire condition. Control devices and condition of liquids: water, oil, brake, battery… Make good visibility, wash the windshield. Have your brakes checked.

For bikers – Check equipment approved helmets and visors. Certified garment provided with retro-reflective strip.

 

During the trip, put your seat belt, do not answer the phone, do not drink alcohol before leaving, 30% of accidents are due to excessive consumption, do not go if you are tired and take breaks every two hours, drowsiness is the first cause of accidents on highway, observe the speed limits and safety distances and make sure your medicines for driving.

Finally, careful, reflective vest and warning triangle are required.

In case of failure, mandatory safety vest and triangle

Must we always report your vehicle stopped by the security triangle and wear safety vest when go off the car? 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 its triangle?

Must we always get his warning triangle when you’re down? According to the Highway Code, 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 a pre-warning triangle.

 

The obligation to put in place the triangle does not apply when this action constitutes a clear endangering the life of the driver (Decree of 30 September 2008). Vehicles on the emergency lane and do not impinge on the floor are not subject to this requirement, either.

 

Reminder – pre-warning triangle should be placed on the floor at a distance of about 30 meters or beyond if necessary, for it to be visible by the drivers coming on the same traffic lane. In addition, highway, be sure to put you behind the guardrail.

 

The mandatory safety kit in Europe too

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

Reflective vest can save your life when you go off the car

Man remedied the interest on the trailer he was towing when the clash took place on Friday. He was seriously injured.

 

The driver of a van in reflective jacket, who was in charge of a problem with the trailer he was towing in the tunnel, was hit Friday by a car and seriously injured. The structure, located on the A22 was closed for four hours to the south as a result of this accident.

 

It was about 3:30 p.m. when the driver found that support its trailer was detached and rubbed the floor. He then stopped to put the piece in place. A car traveling behind him and wanted to miss did not rule out its trajectory enough and hit. Seriously wounded man was taken to hospital.

 

A police spokesman, questioned by arts, could not indicate whether the driver of the van had stopped switched its failure lights, set up the triangle down and put on his reflective vest.

 

The vehicles involved in the accident were evacuated, which led to the closure of the tunnel to Leister.

Johansson went from being exerciser to become national team runners in just four years, and she has a strong position as one of the fastest long distance runners in Sweden. Anne, for example, the only woman to have won twice – to keep running races during the winter is one of the secrets behind the success.

 

– I think it will be easier to get back into racing shape if you run in the winter. I recommend that you run 1-2 times a week to avoid losing running feeling. Do it, it’s really hard to get out so take a while on the treadmill inside the gym, says Anne.

– Add also the more alternative training in the winter, when the body gets the chance to repair itself from any flaws. The key is to maintain fitness and cross-country skiing can be a very good option.

 

Before each winter season many wonder how to dress when the days and nights are dark and cold.

– I usually winter tights and a little warmer running reflective jacket or shirt with underwear shirt underneath. It is like the foundation, and then I build on for how cold it is. Is it really cool is that both wind panties, knickers and an extra sweater or vest over the top layer. Maybe I change even out skin layer against something that resists moisture if such snows a lot, says Anne.

 

The collection Craft Brilliance are tights with napped inside that keeps the heat and uppers of wind panels that protect against wind and rain. The garments are the extra reflective prints for good visibility in all directions – and moreover, the collection of fluorescent paint to increase visibility. Other items in the collection Craft Brilliance here!

 

Anne means that there are few things that bring so much energy to get out and move around in the fresh air, even if you feel tired and tough when it gets dark early.

How To Get despite the cold and darkness – Anne top tips:

  1. Spring home from work – so-called transport running. Then you decided earlier in the day and it’s getting harder to fold down for another.
