Reflective vest secures the way to school

“I have a wonderful job, she brings me a lot of nice contacts, and besides, she makes very sense,” Iris Maas speaks of her student pilot age in the Alps. Every Wednesday and Thursday morning, she is at the street with wearing a reflective vest – intersection from 7.30 am to 8 pm and guides the primary school students safely across the street. On the other three days, two more volunteers are on duty. Since October 2016, she does this volunteer service, but in March, she works again and therefore has to give up this commitment. She has been desperately looking for a successor since Christmas – so far without success.

 

“I know that many mothers work and therefore does not report, but I think of a senior citizen who does not need to work anymore,” she explains. In addition, she makes it equally tasty: “It’s not just obligation, you get so much back from the children. They are friendly, they talk to them, they give their trust, and I can help them too. That is a nice feeling! “Yes, sometimes it’s about more than just looking for the traffic gap to bring the children safely over and motivate motorists to stop. You also have to settle some quarrels between the children, who maybe got up first with their left foot. Alternatively, encourage to go to school at all, when a child tells of his difficulties with a teacher.

 

“There was a great deal of excitement when two girls discovered a free-range chicken at the ice cream parlor. They wanted to save it so that it would not be run over by the car. They were only able to calm down when a father and I reached someone at the public registry office of the community who took care of the lost animal, “says Iris Maas, describing special events connecting school pilot and children.

 

The main task, of course, is that of the “traffic helper,” as it is officially read on the reflective vest with the reflective stripes. Iris Maas is also recognizable in the twilight (in winter in the dark) by the drivers – often in contrast to the children, who are dressed dark. It is not allowed to intervene in traffic. “It sometimes itches in my fingers, when I see how the old people are struggling to get over the lime tree avenue. Because here there is often a lot of traffic in the morning, the working people are on the road and trucks bring the delivery to the shops. This is often very confusing for pedestrians and they do not dare to cross the street,” is the observation of Iris Maas.

 

Elementary school principal Ulla Lederman in safety clothing confirms: “The corner is mean in the morning. I would also be more comfortable, if someone would find who takes over the pupil pilot service of Mrs. Maas from March. This week, the parents will receive a letter in which this appeal will be published again. “

How to use reflective accessories correctly

A fashion show of reflective accessories was prepared by South Moravian police officers for visitors of Thursday’s event on Moresque. At the event called “Let us see who leads guests,” the organizers have warned of the possibilities people can prevent from accidents. “We want to emphasize the importance of security enhancements. We need to be seen, because we have only one life, “said Petra. A pedestrian and vehicle traffic accident always has tragic consequences.

 

At the Basil stand, the children tried to identify dangerous situations. They evaluated whether it was good that the children in the picture played on the road. “So they do not have to read the lengthy questions, so they are pictures. We have hidden in them also those who do not usually have problems with children. The parents are worse off when they try to hurry quickly and overlook them, “said Panel, the coordinator of the Basil team.

 

Basil’s glasses contributed to the program, giving the impression of drug intake or drug overdose. “I was afraid. I heard it was a headache, but it did not seem like I was spinning. I saw the pink color instead of red, but the problem did not do it to me, “wrote Vera from Brno. She was also attracted by reflective material. Like bags and rugs that she would like to buy her grandson.

 

The most popular reflective elements are by Hands Strip on a hand, cranberries, or various pendants. “The colors are beautifully seen behind the lights. Silver is good again in the evening and in the dark. When the light comes from the car, the pedestrian lights up and attracts the driver’s attention,” Horizon said. Reflective material is visible at two hundred meters, and the driver has a longer reaction time.

 

The obligation to wear reflex extras outside the village for diminished visibility has a legal obligation. “It would be best to wear them constantly because the pedestrian crossing may be ill-illuminated. The man in dark clothes is so easily overlooked, Horizon added.

 

The fire brigade arrived in a car-carrying car for traffic accidents and car fires. They have shown the expansion pliers they use when they get rid of an obstacle. The ambulance also attracted attention. People are most interested in how it looks inside. They also asked for revitalization. “There are various myths about it. Many people think that when a straight line on the ECG occurs, the rescuers in safety clothing must immediately defibrillate. They know it from action movies, “remarked rescuer Node. At the same time, the rescuer tried to put things right. “There are only two defibrillating rhythms, and only you can fix them with a shock. So when the line is straight, the rescuers resurrect and the rhythm of the chest massage may occur.

Pedestrians should remember to wear reflective vests

The number of pedestrians hit by cars has increased dramatically. For example, Lithuanian rescuers in safety clothing are talking about an increase in such cases by 700 percent. Crash cars with pedestrians go daily – and Friday was not the exception.

 

The accident happened on Friday at about half past eight o’clock in the morning at the London Street in Liberec. “My girl suddenly appeared in front of the car and it fell, and I started to brake, so it was not a big shock, but she hit the head and probably got something with her leg,” the driver said.

 

“The patient suffered moderate injuries, she was conscious and communicated with the crew and was transported to the traumatic center of the Liberec hospital,” said Michael, a regional rescue service spokesperson. Rescue workers in safety vest warn of an increased increase in similar clashes, which usually end very badly. “We got a lot of it, by the way we rode once a week to one thrown pedestrian, and now we go every day,” added Gergiev.

 

According to experts, most pedestrians in the Czech Republic die from November to February. This is related to reduced visibility and earlier dimming. Critical places are surrounding schools or large corporations where the shift works. “Seventy per cent of pedestrians die at a time when they are poorly seen,” said Roman, a transport expert.

 

Therefore, pedestrians should remember to wear reflective elements, which are mandatory outside the village, in places where there is no public lighting, reduced visibility, and walking along the edge or the edge of the roadway. For example, in Labem on Friday the police checked the unmarked pedestrian. It turned out wrong. Not every other pedestrian was marked. Still, the cops were lenient; they were talking to sinners and giving them reflective tapes.

Councilor began to direct the traffic with wearing reflective vest

The solution is a traffic light, which would be operational next April. The councilor of Colima, Soledad Vial, was the protagonist of a curious fact, because she started to direct the traffic with wear a safety clothing because she could not wait to wait in a taco.

 

The problem was that with the passage of minutes he arrived at the personal place of Carabineers de Chile, who called the attention of the municipal official for breaking the traffic law. However, the authority, together with the neighbors, ignored the instruction of the police officer in safety vest, so legal action would be taken against him for misappropriation of functions.

 

Everything lies in the annoyance of her and the neighbors of Chicora Avenue, Algarroba Road, where, according to the councilor, the tacos are endless daily.

 

The solution is a traffic light, which would be operational next April. Meanwhile, the RN militant said she does not rule out wearing the reflective vest again if necessary, as she says, Carabineers does not comply with directing in transit as it should.

Preventive examination on the two-wheelers of the students

At College, Thursday was dedicated to prevention and safety. The gendarmes in safety clothing carried out checks to inform their owners of the defective two-wheelers. An unexpected controls of the two-wheelers, Thursday early in the morning, by four gendarmes, somewhat surprised the students of the College Fleuron.

 

Adjutant commander of the Amoles brigade of the Retirement COB, accompanied by Franck Isabelle, volunteer deputy constable (GAV), and two gendarmes of the Retirement COB, thus verified various points safety of a dozen two-wheelers (bicycles and scooters): lighting, brakes, tires, reflective devices, audible alarms as well as mirrors, exhaust, helmet for two-wheeled motor. During this audit, Isabelle Boucher, principal of the colleges of the canton of Plumbers, and her principal assistant, were present.

 

The purpose of this operation is to allow young college students to talk about it later and be more cautious.

 

There were very few anomalies noted. From year to year, this kind of operation renewed at the beginning of the school year begins to bear fruit; as the day and time are never communicated in advance, the users of two-wheelers are attentive.

 

The non-compliant points were noted on a card, given to the students to have them sign to the parents, asking to quickly do what is necessary for their two-wheelers to comply with the regulations. Some lighting defects in the front and rear, or reflective devices and brakes were noted. The gendarmes took advantage of the operation to encourage college students to wear a yellow reflective vest and a helmet.

 

Make people aware of the dangers

This preventive action and advice are very useful during this autumnal period for the safety of schoolchildren: it is a bit of a reminder to tell young people that riding my bike or scooter can not be improvised. “Today, no verbalization, this is not the goal, we just want to make young people aware of the dangers of traveling with a machine that is not up to safety standards,” said adjutant Chard. In the afternoon, accompanied by the GAV Franck Isabelle, he also spoke with the two classes of the 3rd to raise awareness about the dangers of the Internet and develop for one hour: “On the internet, your words should be reasoned”, a declared in preamble the commander of the Amoles brigade.

Recommend measures to prevent traffic accidents

On the World Day in Memory of the Victims of Traffic Accidents, the Mexican Ministry of Health recommends respecting road safety signs, speed limits, avoiding alcohol consumption, using cell phones or other devices and not driving tired.

 

He points out that human errors are the main cause of road mishaps, so he also calls to check vehicles before going on the road, using seat belts, restraint systems for children and motorcyclists, wearing a helmet and reflective vest.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) details that each year 1.3 million lives are lost in automobile accidents, and are the main cause of death for people between 15 and 29 years of age.

 

Respond to emergencies in roads and highways, Police dressed safety clothing, the personnel of the 68 ambulances is in coordination with the Security Secretariat of the entity and they are linked to the Control Centers, Command, Computation , Communication and Quality (C5) of Toluca and Ecatepec to provide greater prevention and care, to reduce the risk of disability among the injured.

 

He died while walking on the SE-30 without any reflective element

The man who died on Monday morning after being hit by a vehicle in the SE-30, once past the Almelo Bridge and in the municipality of Camas (Seville), was walking along the causeway when the accident occurred. It ran over and did not carry any reflective element to warn of its presence on the road.

 

Sources of the Civil Guard have informed Europe Press that the deceased pedestrian, between 30 and 40 years old, was walking in a zone prohibited for pedestrians and did not carry any reflective vest nor did it carry any documentation on it, so it is not yet has been able to be identified.

 

Thus, and according to the same sources consulted, the events took place about 6.45 hours this Monday, when the driver of a vehicle that was driving to work could not dodge the pedestrian, who died on the spot. The driver, once the fatal impact occurred, suffered an anxiety attack.

 

The Civil Guard of Traffic in safety clothing investigates the causes of this sinister produced in the left lane of the SE-30, at the height of the output 20B, which caused traffic retentions in the area in the first moments, although later the circulation was restored.

 

Should Safety jacket be made obligatory?

It’s a vital choice! The survival time at sea can be multiplied by ten thanks to the safety vest. Should we then make it mandatory in the manner of the car seat belt and the two-wheeled helmet?

 

Nearly 100% of the people killed by a lifejacket this summer along the French coastline have been saved. If the topic is regularly discussed within ministries, the project to make the wearing of this safety equipment mandatory is postponed from year to year. In 20 years, wearing lifejackets for boaters or professional buoyancy clothing has more than doubled. Awareness campaigns, sensitized generation, improved ergonomics, equipment prices down. The number of equipped users has steadily increased. While mentalities have largely evolved on the subject, there still remain brakes and recalcitrant. Especially on sunny days or festive outings, where group dynamics tend to dissolve good habits. Overall, the maritime authorities observe during their regular checks at sea more than half of boaters equipped and relatively little total absence of safety elements on board. But the right vest is the one you wear on your back, not the one who sleeps in the inaccessible trunk!

 

Is it necessary to make its use obligatory? Some boaters who took the fold do not see any problem. “The seatbelt has been successful in bringing down the number of people killed on the roads. Why would not it work at sea? The gendarmes are not behind any motorists either… “Another story from Admiral Frederic Maurice, delegate departmental SNSM in Finisher.” The wearing of the reflective vest is obviously a good thing (especially during trips in the appendix) but we must trust the marine sense of users,” tempers him. “The sea remains and must remain one of the last spaces of freedom on earth. Should we try to over-regulate it? France does not have the means to enforce this obligation at sea. So let users enjoy the sea as they see fit! “.

 

On the other hand, no ambiguity for the volunteers of the SNSM perfectly equipped with each of their interventions. It is still among practitioners sailing that the vest is sometimes desired. But for fishing, no visible evolution, always as many pro fishermen with nothing on their backs, out of habit, feeling safe not too far from the coast. However, the regulation is without appeal concerning the fishermen-sailors, since a decree of 2007. “The wearing of the integrated buoyant garment (adapted to each type of fishing) is obligatory during the fishing operations, for the work on the bridge of at night, in reduced visibility and bad weather, by way of an annex and if the commander so requires according to the circumstances “, remembers the regional fisheries committee.

 

On the side of state action at sea, the subject is in the hands of the mission of boating and water recreation. The three maritime prefectures of the French seaboard have already expressed their wish to make the wearing of lifejackets or buoyancy safety clothing compulsory. But the measure is hard to impose, even if the rescue operations remain free and the search time at sea of a yachtsman not equipped is incommensurable.

 

The police employ asylum seekers in safety vest as pupils

A retired policeman formed twelve men and women with safety clothing who will work at the Escher from the beginning of school.

 

Asylum seekers are being employed in the student service from Bad Asch. Twelve refugees, including three women, completed an intensive training course, which was conducted in cooperation with the city police in reflective vest and the retired policeman Reinhardt Held. The Larder has already initiated such a project in several municipalities in the district.

 

“All efforts in the last years to find honorary officials for this task have failed,” says SP mayor Hanes Heidi. The asylum seekers are looking forward to the opportunity to work. Their area of use includes dangerous roads in the vicinity. They have an official identity card and are equipped with a safety vest and safety bar. The pilots have the right to inform and inform passengers of their duties.

 

“The asylum seekers can prove this way that they want to integrate into our country,” says SP-social town councilor Ines Schiller. “There are only positive feedbacks in those communities where they are already active in student rescue.”
