Yellow vest, red triangle fined station

As of today, each motorist must have his vehicle in a car yellow reflective vest and warning triangle. It is the law that requires it. If the equipment fails the constabulary can administer a fine of € 135, reduced to € 90 if paid on or within three days.

Cyclists that circulate outside the city at night or in bad weather conditions should in turn take their vest under penalty of a fine receive € 35 (€ 22 if paid within two weeks). Oddly, bikers and scooters have no particular obligation, even if wearing the vest is recommended.

 

If the need to own this equipment is known to all, yet its use remains surrounded by shadows. “We need to be smart and logical proof, says Captain Thierry DAVAUT, commander of the squadron departmental road safety Haute-Garonne. The vest, leave it in the cabin, in order to put before exiting the vehicle. “Thomas of Road Safety, said:” We see many people who put it on the seat back. Best avoided: the cars are increasingly equipped with side airbags at the sides of the seat: the vests can interfere when they break. “As for the triangle, the best place is the trunk:” If possible, not under a ton of bags, “continues the policeman, an ironic strand.

 

Moreover, it is not necessary to multiply the jackets for each vehicle occupant. One is enough. According to the Road Safety, the first returns seem to attest that drivers are massively equipped. In general, products sold in supermarkets, service stations, garages are quite reliable. Mistrust but if you buy on a market, or on the street.

Police: “We will continue to inform many”

 

On Monday, the DAVAUT captain, head of the departmental squadron road safety Haute-Garonne conducting a prevention campaign (and a few safety vests distribution) in Saint-Gaudens, gentle way to remind motorists the maturity date. But he has planned today to pass the sanction after prevention? There are no plans for now to organize traffic controls on this point in particular … unless instructed otherwise by the Ministry, meanwhile, “the officer nuance.” Perhaps we will be more severe, because now we have the possibility of violators fined. But we will not fall on the backs of motorists, however. We will also continue our mission of information. I think people have not yet understood all about using the vest and triangles. ”

In search of the lost triangle

 

For taxes, telephone, electricity, there is debit. A major invention for all giddy this world… including me. Yes but now, for the yellow vest and warning triangle, I have not received automatic parcel. So yesterday it was necessary go in search of a triangle with the standards. A triangle only, because for the vest, no problem: it floats in my astronomical quantities Carrefour gondola. This brave Karl Lagerfeld who played top model for the country Road Safety, would he not had the expected impact?

 

Anyway, I’m here for triangles. I walk up the aisle; I inspect right and left nothing. Oh yes, a salesman. ” We do more since June. “” Gosh! “” We receive some occasionally. It is the supplier, which is not enough. “No problem, I go to the next green light.”Ooh, we got 200 today and they left in an hour! “Well. Call next to the job, they should have it. It’s not worth it, they do not have, “says my colleague who visited it between noon and two. He finally was able to get one through a friend who went to get a snack. My word, you have to have sacred networks for tracking down this thing. I decided as a last resort to stop at a Shell station. “We did have seven or eight, but they are all gone. See tomorrow. “Yes, that’s right, and at the same time I will see my fine of 90 € … The phone cut my grumbling in flight. Oh by the way, I’ve taken a triangle with reflective tape out of the office. “It’s still good to have an automatic brain at home.

Volunteers in safety vest: New edition of free zones

Two free zones were organized this Saturday in Charente-Maritime. The principle: on a day, we wear reflective clothing lay down what serves us more and we recover what we need. The aim is to raise awareness about the re-use of objects.

 

The union organized this Saturday two free zones in Charente-Maritime, one in Royale, the other in Saint. This is the sixth edition in the department. A free zone is like a flea market or an empty attic except that there is no transaction, no exchange of money or barter. During this day, everyone gets what he wants and gives what he wants. The one who comes empty-handed can also leave with business.

 

The objective of these days is to raise awareness of re-use and the fight against waste, because many objects are thrown away at the waste dump when they can re-use. Volunteers in safety vest help to deal with the things. According to Merle, communication and prevention manager, “it is impossible to pick up items at the waste disposal center, it is prohibited and dangerous, so we thought that organizing free zones could raise awareness So that they could see that the objects they no longer needed served others.”

According to the mixed union, re-use and repair make it possible to avoid 13 kilos of waste per inhabitant per year.

And that’s true, Claudine can confirm it. She has come for three years to recover “what she needs and no more”. Claudine arrives with a list a head, this time she searches for children’s books and clothes.

 

Next to the room where all the stuff is gathered, the clothes, the books, the knick-knacks, there is a line of cars and people who come to lay down what they no longer want. The young woman “loves the zones of gratuity”. She brings every year the things she does not need any more so that they have “a second life” and then she goes to hunt for her and for her children.

 

To manage these free zones, on each site, there are about sixty volunteers, all in fluorescent reflective vest. The associations are integrated into the project because they want to make them known. According to Merle, “It is to tell people, the objects you get here; you can buy them all year round in solidarity shops at very low prices.”
