Reflective vest make you to be seen at a distance

“I could not convince the roadmen to set speed limits because people are dying here, so I decided to do it myself,” explains the village head of the village. “I put a puppet that looks like a policeman in a reflective vest at a distance. At sight, they even release the most hardened pirates!

 

Two people died in the last two years before the village. helpless against pirates – repeatedly asked for help roadmen. But at his request nobody reacted! And the problem is serious: on a 4-kilometer straight as the table section of the route Lublin in the vicinity of the Guiding car they run like crazy. Especially dangerous is in the middle, at the intersection with two dirt roads, next to the bus stops.

 

Oh misfortune here easily. At the end of October, a villager was killed there. – Then I came up with the idea of a puppet. We had it ready, left with the harvest. I dressed her in a reflective waistcoat and set it beside the road – says the village headman.

It was a great idea. The puppet works exactly as the badperson imagined! Drivers – until recently breaking the neck – suddenly release, thinking they have a policeman from the road ahead.

 

The dummy looked at the real policemen and congratulated the idea. They appeared and the roadmen – only to find out whether the puppet… does not occupy the road belt, because then they could give a penalty. When it turned out that everything was fine, they drove away as unkempt.

 

A sloth is so proud and happy that the road is safer. He promises that the fear will keep him in good shape for as long as possible. – Anyone who returns after dark can simply take a safety vest to be visible and safe. I will bring and put the next one on my dummy – he adds with a smile of the guide.

 

Tourist reflective jacket for safety

In order to experience a real adventure, you have to get away from home. Having a tourist motorcycle, you also need to have tourist safety vest, resistant to varying weather conditions, giving a sense of security, as well as convenience.

 

Oxford Ankara 1.0 jacket with a double main slider with a wide tab will not allow the slightest breeze to reach the center of the cold wind. The internal lock is additionally rubberized, which ensures water tightness. A clip of 150 grams weighs only a few pounds, allowing you to increase the comfort of driving in cooler days. It is constructed so that it does not interfere with getting into the inner pocket – in which we can hold the phone, and itself has an extra pocket, sewn on the inside. The lanyard is clipped in a jacket with a slider, and the sleeves are clutched with clever snaps. Nothing prevents you from wearing a fleece or a sweater if you are uncomfortably cold. Of course, this jacket can be attached to the trousers; thanks to the slider in it.

 

In the summer

When the temperature in the shade exceeds 25 degrees starts to get really hot. Oxford Ankara 1.0 must cope with any weather, so the heat does not make it any more impressive. Four inlets and one outlet ensure proper air circulation while driving. These entire vent holes are protected with rubberized, waterproof sliders. These sleeves can be folded in two, thanks to the two carts of the slider. At the rear, the air outlet has a drive that allows it to be opened much wider so that more air flows through the reflective jacket.

 

In the rain

After all of the aforementioned ventilation openings, which are protected with rubber sliders, the inner rubber glove slider is also fitted with a waterproof jacket. Of course, what is a jacket that does not have a waterproof, breathable membrane? The permanently attached membrane is a Smart System manufactured by the Riesa industry. On the one hand, it would be nice to be able to unclip the diaphragm when we do not need it, but … in our climate it is good to be with us always. The next thing that will help you in the fight against the rain is … the rain hood, to wear … under the helmet. Yes, you read well. Thanks to that, the water droplets will not land behind the collar where the hood is hidden every day. Curious patent!

 

Passive and active safety

A motorcycle jacket not only protects us from weather, but also provides us with protection in the event of an accident. The jacket is made of the super 600D polyester, has triple stitches sewn with durable nylon thread, and in sensitive areas is reinforced with Nylon Dobby material, more resistant to rubbing polyester. Of course, the places affected by injury, shoulders, and elbows and back are protected by certified pads.

 

That’s not all; an Oxford Ankara 1.0 jacket can protect a motorcyclist from an accident. How? This is primarily used for the fluorescent vest that we can wear on our jacket. This is not a simple vest that will fly in the wind, pumping and annoying us while driving. The vest is just a name, it is really a special reflective panel attached to the jacket on the back of the zipper and the front two buckles. This panel can be hidden in a pocket that is sewn on the back. In addition, the jacket has reflective panels that are deployed practically all over the jacket. After dark, while driving in Ankara 1.0, in car headlights, you will be like a Christmas tree.

 

Mandatory safety car equipment abroad

According to Polish regulations, the vehicle registered in the country must be equipped with a warning triangle and a fire extinguisher. Our law does not agree with the regulations of the vast majority of the European Union. So what should we do when we go abroad? It turns out that in some cases we do not have to buy missing items at all. Sometimes it is worthwhile though.

 

Although Poland is a member of the European Union, not all road regulations in force in our country are reflected in other Member States. This includes, among other things, the list of obligatory car equipment. Each country has its own list of accessories that must be on board the vehicle registered in it. How does it look in detail? Current data on mandatory vehicle equipment is published by the European Commission.

 

Do we, however, need to buy equipment that other countries require when traveling abroad? After all, it is hard to suspect that the Germans or Czechs who come to Poland buy fire extinguishers for this circumstance. The Vienna Convention on Traffic is exempt from the obligation to purchase equipment in other countries. The 1968 International Law Group was adopted by all EU member states. In one of the points says that when leaving the car abroad, we must have only what we are obliged to domestic law.

 

In practice it is not always easy to explain your reason to a policeman wear safety vest in a foreign country, and attempts to award a mandate for a lack of local lawful equipment are still occurring. What to do in this case? If we accept a mandate, the penalty will have to be paid on site or after visiting an ATM. If we do not accept the mandate, legal assistance may be required in the state. It is always a good idea to inform the Polish consulate in the country where you are staying. It is best to call there right away at check-in. This can cool the police officer.

 

What about car rental? It is almost certain that such a vehicle has all that is required in the country of its registration. For peace, however, you can check it by picking up the car. If we go to the country where we rented the car, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic will again protect us from the mandate.

 

Regardless of European conventions, before leaving on a long journey with your own car, it is worth getting at least the elements that will provide us with safety. – We recommend equipping the car with at least elements that repeat in the legislation of most European countries – says Cesar of the Polish Motor Show. – It’s about a first aid kit and a reflective vest. It is true that according to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic we are not obliged to do so, but in practice it happens that the police abroad are trying to give such a mandate for failure to do so. It’s better to save yourself trouble. In practice, however, it should be punished with mandates for the absence of spare bulbs or fuses. Such events took place years ago in Slovakia, for example, and this was an abuse of national anachronism.

 

– When purchasing a first aid kit, it is worth paying attention to its equipment. – It is best to buy a set that meets the requirements of the country we go to. As for the vest or reflective vest, it is true that according to the Vienna Convention we do not have to have them in the car, but in many countries the law states that when leaving a car, for example in the event of a puncture, we must wear a vest. This convention is no longer included – our correspondent says.

 

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can encourage this behavior by rewarding your dog when she is in the right position.

Hunters in safety vest with his dog and eagles

Karle Newman from Pesky several times a week “cleans” the Hradec airport from hares, starlings and pigeons. Besides the eagle and the quail, dogs help him. The Predator in Air is a warning signal for other animals. Since 2008, he wear a safety vest has been driving dogs, eagles, hatcheries and other predators a couple of times a week, and cleaned the grounds of starling, pigeons, hares and other uninvited guests whose collision with the plane could end up a disaster.

 

By delivery, we enter the approaching runway when a helicopter is just off the ground and the light motorized aircraft cross the sky. There are two Breton hounds in the backseats impatiently. We hang hangars and Karle closely monitors the surrounding area. “I have to go through all the areas to see where it moves. Here are hidden horns and hares that could enter the track, “he explains. If he notices an uninvited visitor, he must alert staff to the control tower. After each “walk”, he writes a detailed report.

 

In the western part of the airport, about 30 meters from the runway, the car stops. At first glance, there is peace, except for a few swallows hanging from the ground; there are no fowls in the sky that could pose danger to pilots.

“The worst is always after the mowing, when the grasses fly into big birds and collect insects,” says Newman. The main enemies are starlings, pigeons, raccoons, there are also herons, storks or mugs.

 

Plot is not an obstacle for hares

Karle Newman opens the car door and drives a pair of Brittany hounds. Like a biological protection worker, they also wear yellow reflective vests. The “search” – Voice command is a clear sign for a 7-month-old female and a thirteen-year-old dog.

 

They begin systematically combing the strip of grass between the fence and the start-up runways. As soon as they are a few meters behind, the handler is summoned by a piercing whistle into a wooden whistle. After a few minutes, the wizards attribute their first success. They look for the hare, who immediately gives a furious run.

 

While an experienced dog returns to the master after completing the task, the young female hits the hare several tens of meters until it falls out of sight. After a while, however, he returns and continues to work. They are exercises to expel hares, not to hunt them.

 

Although the airport is surrounded by a fence, there is no problem for hares to get inside. When they overrun the area, the hunters in reflective clothing organize a classic hunt or capture. They will not move for 10 minutes, and the hounds drive out another hare who has settled in the low grass.
