Police officers in safety vest warn children at zebras

Some police stations or police officers with wear safety vest are seen around the school all year round – but from Monday, the presence of the uniforms becomes even clearer. Not only in the morning between 7:00 and 8:00, and then after schooling, but also in schools.

 

There are a number of seminars on safe road traffic. From the last March until April 4th, the police organize the spring round of the eighth year of the preventive information campaign “The Zebra does not look for you!”

 

The new spring of this year is that in Prague and Central Bohemia police will sometimes be accompanied by representatives of Auto. While police prevention and transport operators in the Zebra campaign talk to schoolchildren primarily as non-motorized road users and discuss the safety of pedestrians (especially the lesson about proper crossing the road is never enough) and cyclists, car makers will be the kids as co-drivers In motor vehicles.

Demonstration is mainly about demonstrations of proper attachment in child car seats; But also simulated impacts associated with explaining the operation of the airbag, remembers Renate Sander from the police presidency.

 

Gift items increase efficiency

Together with police officers, the BESIP coordinators will also go on the field. Various gift items are available to them and other partners, and the cops try to promote campaign effectiveness. Nor do not miss the notorious task-sticks with a police motif, much sought after in recent years.

 

But – this time, Sander is very promising to give away reflective accessories, which will ensure that pedestrians can see them in the dark in time, even if they wear dark clothing. “First and foremost, these reflective elements should become a motivational element to remind children and youth of responsibility for their health and life in relation to their behavior in road traffic,” Sander said.

 

The fact that the pedestrian chauffeur dressed in black or blue dressed has a chance to notice on the verge of the road to the last moment – if not too late – confirmed by the head of Prague traffic police Pave. Such a reflective strip allows for a longer distance to respond to the presence of a pedestrian who is wearing white clothing. The inconspicuous light-reflecting feature of the car really can help prevent black ends…

 

Resilient armor with reflective element for participants

The light of the world saw another garment with the proud name of the Spartan warriors. This time he has the task of protecting his legs. Specifically, calves and shins. The Calf Guards in safety vest have the same features as handhelds that have been tested before, but you are not mistaken. But maybe you just love them all. Welcome to a world where there is no need for water, mud brooks, stones, ropes, but also barbed wire!

 

Simple hoods provide basic shaving and calf protection. They are ready for both dry and water, and some twig or stone would not hurt them. And you do not. Sleeve design is carried out in a traditional combination of black, gray and deep yellow color. Retro elements blend with industrial abstract patterns of triangles and hexagons. Technically, this is a tubular sleeve with one longitudinal seam carried out in flat stitching and tape under the foot. It is also lined with flat seams, but the upper end of the fabric is already processed by welding / gluing. So unpleasant pushing and rubbing under the knees should not occur.

 

For a long time, I wondered if the tape, which is designed to prevent the sleeve upward, should be worn on the sock or under the sock. I tried both variants. From changing over my sock, I promised more foot comfort, from underwear under the sock, to more freedom and comfort for my ankles. In the end, I decided to put down the sleeves and then the socks. The fabric is so fine that it does not cause any problems on the barefoot.

 

Minor problems, unpleasant dirt, however, provided huge white signs, maintenance and compositional notes. They are stitched to the sleeves relatively tightly, with a tiny stitch and their removal requires a little more tailoring skill.

 

Especially when shooting terrain and other occasions when it comes to shin, you will definitely appreciate the strengthening structure stuck on the stitches in the front. The combination of triangles creates a lightweight and resilient armor for participants of some Spartan. In addition to the refined design, you will also appreciate the reflective elements on both socks during training. On the one you will find the logo of the manufacturer, on the second sign of the race in the shape of a Spartan fighter. The word “Spartan” then leaves no doubt about where to put you.

 

The hangers hold well on their feet, their material does not hold water or sweat, but protects well against mud and other traps of mud races. It also works slightly compressively, so if you are a supporter of these permissive means of support, you will also not go away with unassigned. Weight analysts are not disappointed or weigh less than 46 grams.

 

What to say at the end? On mud races, I always went with my legs – whether in long elastics or at least in shorts combined with the sleeves reflective tape. I never regretted it. The cuffs can also be used in training under boundary temperature conditions. Before you warm up, you can protect the lower legs when it gets hot, you just put them on your ankles and keep moving. This legend is usually not quite possible.

The hunters wear distinctive clothing and do not drink

With the onset of autumn, hunters with wearing safety vest began to play the main hunting season. Common hunts, especially for small game, are held in the region from the beginning of November until the end of the year, practically every weekend. Many are planning to visit police to check compliance. But the hunters themselves are also careful about the rules. More and more emphasis is placed on their own safety.

 

Police officers in Wallachia have checked three hunts this year, another sixteen checks are scheduled. In the whole region, they visited twelve hunts, checking to plan sixty-five.

 

Wherever they are hunted, men have a very good overview of the law. “All hunts, usually common to small game, such as hares and pheasants, have to report to the police in advance,” explained Michal, head of the Stein District Hunting Association.

Police officers control weapons and alcohol

The hunters do not intend to hunt the public in particular. It is a fact that a specific place is specified operationally in the morning before the hunt, in addition to the hunt is issued local hunters. In a given village, people usually know that the hunt takes place.

 

Police in reflective jacket checks take place mostly at the start of a hunt, but the patrol can be hunted at any time during the hunt. “They check weapons licenses, hunting and weapons documents, and whether the weapons they use correspond to those documents. And of course he is also interested in whether any of the hunters has drunken alcohol, “said Dubcek.

 

He did not deny that in the past sometimes some of the jigsaws appeared on the horns. With the increasing number of controls, alcohol has disappeared from the hunts. “Certainly, at least the last fifteen, twenty years, no one will let the hunt drink or consciously come drunk,” he convinced the chairman of the hunters.

 

The reason is that the violation of the regulations threatens the immediate loss of the firearms license for five years. The firearms license can also come to hunters for offenses they commit in everyday life and which are not related to hunting.

Hunters have also put more emphasis on the safety of honeys in recent years. They are increasingly using reflexes on clothing. “In the world, in North America and Canada, it has been happening for several years,” said Michal.

 

Even in our lands, it is the rule that all hunters who are in the hood have reflective vests or jackets. Most hunters on habitats have reflexive hats, reflective crinkles, or scarves. “There is no law to us yet. We do it for our own safety, “said Dubcek.

There is no wonder. In the case of small game hunters, the hunters are burning with shotguns, and then there is not much risk. “The shotgun has an effective range of forty meters, the shotgun range is within a hundred and fifty meters,” Dubcek said.

The ball guns target wildlife hunters from a distance of fifty to two hundred meters. “But the deadly effect has a bullet across the flight path, which is five kilometers,” the hunter said.

 

According to him, cases of someone being shot are rare. Maybe every two years. “There are a hundred thousand hunters in the republic. If every year we burn fifty wounds on average, we can easily calculate the number of shots, “said Dubcek.” The number of wounds that fall in the hunts is the minimum number of injuries. “Nobody is infallible, but compared to road traffic we need to admit that the car is a much worse weapon, but I do not want to apologize, “the hunter assured.

 

The police statistics are also in favor of hunters. Last year, for example, police officers in the county did not notice a single injury. “We did not find any misdemeanor. Probably due to frequent and regular checks, they are free of hardship, “said regional police spokesman Lena.

 

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.

Funeral parade in reflective vests

Hundreds of gunmen, sport shooters, hunters in high visibility vest and members of the armed forces in the middle under the statue of St. Wenceslas in Prague protested against the Euro smart on weapons, which was approved by the European Parliament on Tuesday despite the strong opposition of the Czech Republic.

 

The MPs, representatives of the Bohemian-Moravian Hunting Unity, as well as the double champion of the world in sport shooting Adam Tic and the representatives of the armory men, took part in the improvised hunting ceremony on Wenceslas Square.

 

A demonstrator has in their hands banners with inscriptions such as “Prohibit Radicalism, Not Weapons,” “EU Guidelines bury us,” or links to disarmament in 1938.

Demonstration at Wenceslas Square in Prague against a European directive tightening arms possession.

 

The speakers in safety vest agreed that the EU directive by limiting the legal possession of weapons does not complicate the lives of terrorists and organized crime. According to them, a strict Czech law on weapons should be an example for other countries.

 

“The vote was held in the Euro parliament in five minutes, the usual debate was not accepted and no amendments to the Czech MEPs were voted,” said Bohemia Strake of the Czech-Moravian Hunting Union.

 

Retired captain Jixi Kink said that freedom is at stake. “Today they are arms, tomorrow they are basting pocket knives. Do not make us stupid of us; it’s because of the fight against terrorism. The Brussels elite actually started to worry their own citizens, “he said.

 

Constitutional amendment and action

Martin Lank, Marshal, has called the directive a Pasqual. “The only thing the EU has come up with in response to terrorist attacks is this norm. Now we have to take full advantage of the time left before we have to transpose the directive into Czech law by filing an action against the European Court of Justice, and anchoring the right to hold the gun in the constitution, “he said.

 

KSČM deputy Zukav also voiced support for the constitutional amendment. “I am convinced that protecting our country is not a right but a duty of citizens,” she said.

Also, according to Strake, there is no other solution to the current situation than to oppose the directive by a constitutional amendment proposed by thirty MEPs across the ranks that the House will still be dealing with.

 

Funeral parade in reflective vests

Wednesday’s event culminated in a funeral parade accompanied by music that brought a coffin full of roses, cups and medals from sports competitions before the European Commission headquarters in nearby Street. At the mourning parade, a number of participants took the reflective vests that the hunters wear for hunting to point out the security that needs to be handled when handling weapons.

 

The organizers planned to hand over the coffin to EC representatives, but after ten minutes the protesters did not get anybody, so when the national anthem was sung, the procession turned and went back to Wenceslas Square.

Run into a gentle morning with a reflective jacket

Babe summer slowly takes his and, along with warm weather, blows somewhere far. In order to avoid something blurring during the autumn training, it is good to be ready. It’s not yet on the jackets, but the becoming safety vest of wind-resistant materials would still be great. The Kalinin brand has something nice, functional and affordable for us.

 

The steel-gray treadmill with luminous orange accessories is definitely interesting from an aesthetic point of view. She is not too shrill, not even loud. When you examine it thoroughly, you will find that at a favorable price, you get a pretty detailed detail in your hand.

 

The vest is based on two types of fabric. The mesh forms the entire back panel and the adjacent panels running from the armpit to the waist. The rest is non-inflammatory. Around the neck we find even smaller areas of the third kind of fabric, the finest. The entire inside of the collar, its outer edge and the inside of the shoulders are sewn on it. Its task is to provide runners the highest possible comfort. The waist is very pleasant in the area of the neck; it does not undress or thrash anywhere. The so-called zipper garage contributes to this, which prevents the unpleasant scratching of the ends of the zipper in the neck or chin.

 

The outlets for the hands and the waist end are covered with a soft elastic strap. Very practical on the reflective jacket are also three pockets. Their placement is not fortunately class – on the sides at the waist level. The exact place where you place your phone, for example, will keep you busy for hours or even less comfortable places downstairs. No, no, the manufacturer was wondering. One large enough pocket (about 15 × 15 cm) to fit your oversized smart phone is clever on the left chest. Just as with the main zipper, the YKK features a high-quality YKK. The other two pockets are located at the bottom of the back. It closes them with a single zipper and the pair of pockets is actually made up of one space with a sewn in the middle. The pockets are spacious enough (approximately 15 × 14 cm) to fit in, for example, purses, gloves, handkerchiefs, or some refreshments on the way. Thanks to the elasticity of the material and the proper placement of the cargo in the pockets it does not jump or interfere, the waist with its edge extends below the butt.

 

He also enjoys a smaller pocket inside the lower edge. It is not meant to keep things (it does not have a fastening), but its role is no less important. In this pocket you can pack the whole vest and secure the rubber strap while running in the hand or put it on the waist strap or the like. The manufacturer does not forget the safety, so he placed a vertical reflective stripe at the top of the back and the front pocket zip also fitted with a reflector. The waist is very light (about 130 grams) and stacks.

 

Engineers in France also thought of the convenience of the shopper as well as removing mandatory white signs. Did you even happen to have damaged the seam itself or even destroying the fabric of the product? This is not going to happen in any case. The stitches are cleverly sewn on the mesh stripe so you can cut them both safely and completely without the rest.

 

You can use the Vest for now, for example, during morning excursions or at weekends in the hills. Well protected from wind and at least its rip stop part is waterproof. It’s not a raincoat (back is mesh!), But when unexpected light rain comes, it is pleased that you are not “duchy.” I appreciate the well-designed pockets and overall quality and thoughtful processing at a good price.

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.

Reflective clothing for cycling event

A link between excellences: this can be summed up the partnership agreement between North wave and the Tour of the Alps, the new Euro-regional cycling event that has inherited the history and prestige, equipped with customized reflective clothing scheduled from Monday 17 to Friday April 21, becoming even more international. From this year, the race horse through three geographic areas between the two countries: the Austrian Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trenton.

 

After the first two stages with Tyrolean arrive in Innsbruck, the event organized by GS Alto Garda in collaboration with the body responsible for local marketing – Tirol Warburg, IDM Alto Adige and Trenton Marketing – will point to the mountains of California and historians trails Trope Melinda, before finding its epilogue with the grand finale of Trento and the iconic passage on top of Monte Bond one, the sovereign judge of the race.

 

The role of North wave in the first edition of the new course will be the most important and prestigious: the Italian company has designed and produced within the atelier dedicated to the Custom Project, the special brand of Treviso program dedicated custom clothing, the four race leader jerseys. Cyclamen will be the color that will characterize the General Classification leader, green for the leader of the GPM list, red and white for violating goals for the best young U25.

 

The links are part of the line “Performance 2” and characterized by the bottom sleeve with grippe that ensures excellent fit and from a reflective fabric with microscopic pores that ensures breathability and elasticity. The reflective inserts positioned at the back also ensure visibility even in low light conditions.

 

“The project Tour of the Alps is one of the great innovations of the cycling season – said Gianni Pica in safety vest, President and Founder of North wave, – an ambitious reality that adds to the prestige of the Gyro del Trenton a whole new dimension. An excellent example of the synergy that unites three territories and their peoples: we are motivated to take on this new challenge together with a number of samples that will begin to breathe the atmosphere of the Tour of Italy. Let the show begin!”

A giant with a reflective jacket and a solid handshake

They sweated and worked underground for 17 years, 360 days a year and 24 hours a day. When the Gotthard base tunnel is inaugurated with great pomp next week, many of them have already left the scene. The 2,000 miners employed at the construction site remained anonymous, while they realized the work of the centuries.

 

Nostalgia, pride and satisfaction; this is what René Kaufmann feels when he thinks of the tunnel. René Kaufmann, a giant with a reflective jacket and a solid handshake, has just spent 14 years in the Gotthard base tunnel. First in mine rescue, then in equipment management and finally as a locomotive engineer in Sedum (GR), where the difficult geological conditions allowed to work only with explosives.

 

Blasting is the queen discipline in the tunnel. The blaster master performs a final check round before proceeding with the explosion. The detonation is deafening, the huge shock wave. The acrid smell of ammonia rises to the nose of the miners. It’s hot – up to 50 degrees – wet and dust is ubiquitous. Thus the 46-year-old man described his daily task: “I had to carry comrades out of the tunnel because they collapsed.”

Team work in the heart of the mountain is hard: ten days of work, four leave. Quick starts are not uncommon. “Either you’re done for the tunnel, or you’re not.” René Kaufmann has been doing this job for thirty years.

 

His great-grandfather and grandfather were already working in the mines. A small town in East Germany, this is tradition. The locality was known for decades for its pure copper ore. Since he was sixteen, he is in the mines. The daily work has undergone dramatic changes: while René Kaufmann has learned the craft from scratch, satellite-guided machines perform many tasks today. The first workers in reflective vest were still attacking the rock with pickaxes and shovels. But for Kaufmann, the challenge remained the same: “snatch” a tunnel into the mountains.

 

What has also remained the same: risks? Despite the most modern technology, the fear is there when the elevator drops 800 meters to Sedum and a new day begins. Blocks of unstable rock, chemical substances, fires or accidents: many dangers lie in the mountains. Kaufmann learned it painfully: two comrades lost their lives in the tunnel. The memory of this 28-year-old German is lively, has become daddy shortly before and crushed dead between two wagons of ballast.

 

“These were hard times. Also because these accidents could have been avoided, “explains René Kaufmann. His compatriot had forgotten to press the emergency button to stop it. A miner must not only respect the mountain, but also the machines. The miners also count on Sainte Barbed, their patroness. There is no tunnel under construction that is not guarded by the saint.

 

It is not only the blows of fate that bind miners. Their lives reflect their work in the mountains. In Sedum, Kaufmann and his comrades lived on the outskirts of the village, in containers installed above the building site. Each had a single room. WC and showers were upstairs; meals were taken in the canteen.

 

All the minors came from abroad, especially from Germany, Austria, Portugal and Italy. Fellowship is crucial: “We are a small family”. We invite ourselves for grills, we play football or cards. René remained in contact with some colleagues, “thanks to Facebook”. Only teamwork allows for a real family life. After eight days, Kaufmann wear safety vest took the wheel of his car and was 800 kilometers. He spent five days with his wife and two sons before returning to Switzerland.

 

The future remains open. And René Kaufmann is a bit disillusioned. He expected a little more consideration here: “Once the tunnel is over, they drop you like a hot potato.” Currently, he takes care of the last interviews in the gallery. His contract expires the day before the festive inauguration of the tunnel. It has already been announced at the ORP, the regional placement office.
