Everyone involved has to put reflective vest

There is not one day, and especially on weekends and public holiday’s periods, which may not occurred road accidents resulting in deaths and injuries, keep road safety is important. Beyond the statistics absolutely horrendous and unacceptable for various reasons, another reality regrind-ability does not decrease the number of victims: most drivers do not know how they should react after such an undesirable event. And, unfortunately, negative graphs grow every year.

 

In case of accident, the first step should become reflex: call emergency number 112. Experts warn, however, that in fact a triad of elements is to follow in the shortest possible terms: protection, alerting help. Placing protection even before the alarm is motivated by the need to avoid so-called supra accident (chain accidents caused by the first), which could be worse than the “basic”. Everyone involved has to put reflective vest, to report the accident within a reasonable distance before the site of the impact, then retire to a safe place and only then to call for help, which will determine as accurately as possible what happened.

 

These aids may be specialized medical teams, the cars of extrication, fire etc. They can even guide him through phone call to make first steps necessary – say, first aid for victims – as appropriate. Very important it is that the caller not to hang up until they call the dialed aid.

 

Removing or maintaining injured / damaged vehicle depends on the concrete situation, the type of lesion etc. Of course, the victim should not be immobilized useless because – for example – may have fractured spine. In contrast, some wounds require special emergency intervention (stopping of bleeding, cardiac massage and others), for that person to survive until the arrival of the ambulance, I Note so few that can extend unpredictable.

 

These include brief information as a message is clear: each driver must wear safety vest, at least once, to attend a first aid in case of accident. Lack of legislation profile so far from us, such a provision is currently in legislative attention novel.

Every student has its own reflective vest

Especially with the arrival of spring, there is no better way to go to school except with a nice walk: and so the administration a few days decided to extend one of the Pedi bus lines up in places Cabining, also equipped with reflective safety vest.

 

The aim is to push the “dragon” (that’s how it is nicknamed the Pedi bus, also thanks to the logo) farther and farther away from the center, in order to limit the radius of action of the school bus only to peripheral areas. In 2008 by the will of the Councilor to education, the service works like a real bus (walk), with its route three lines covering the entire historic center, times, and stops indicated by reflective signs.

 

During the journey from home to school to have fun with his friends, they exchange the figures, and with the help of the guides (parents, grandparents and other volunteers) will have returned verbs and tables, and you learn to cross the street. All while they are standing in line, each with its own reflective vest, to start the day full of joy, movement and ecology.

Some people scam with wear reflective vest

“Golden Systems and cash in the freezer. We need to make the system of controls water. Need to ask worker wear reflective clothing to deal with these. “A proposed script and repeated here and there for Employ and beyond. Taking its toll on victims, at the end of ” checks stripped of their assets, in exchange for nothing. Cheated well in the ‘name’ of an alleged serious malfunction of the system of drinking water, but is not.

 

Those fake workers dressed to the nines are always ready to point the finger tap, sometimes accused of being poisoned by mercury sometimes instead of not being able to be ‘supported’ by a working meter. And they have also tried the other morning in that Mozzarella area. But this time their ‘business card’ did not work: in front, found a very strong woman, smelled the scam, has established itself with an air of decided and great determination. As usual, they showed up at the door of the Carboy Street, in the green part. It was almost noon. They rang the bell and stood as the water authority workers Waters Spa: a very credible visa of work clothes complete with a helmet and reflective vest wearing them.

 

“Hello – they have stuck with doing extremely polite – We need to make checks on the water system of your home.” The strangeness came shortly after and immediately jumped to the eye to the lady, a person who gives a helping hand to the family living in the house Mozzarella. The two ‘colleagues’ work would in fact ask to go into the house to do some special tests, to be carried out using equipment and substances that could damage jewelry in gold and cash.

 

At those words, the caregiver was suspicious and without beating about the bush invited the two to leave, warning immediately after the police in safety vest of what happened. The two apparently would have run away aboard a work truck, ‘neutral’. And the same white vehicle and no writing would have been spotted around even by other residents of the area, the series scam and con artists do not know the word vacation.

 

So it is perhaps appropriate to review the good rules of thumb to keep in case of ‘workers’ suspicions. To suggest the same manager spa waters which emphasizes that “no officer or agent carries out checks on the operation of facilities or audits on the quality of water supplied inside the home? And they do not perform inspections of any kind in the house, except in pursuance of an appointment with the user. “So if insiders insist on crossing the threshold, there is something wrong.

The walk allows you to come into direct contact with the environment around us, to perceive and build a healthy and constructive relationship with others based on respect, trust and solidarity, thus giving back to the street and other public spaces that natural role a place for socializing and building friendly relations and therefore to the common good, as well as instruction in sustainable mobility.

The safety equipment for car before the long weekend trip

Again there will be three days of rest and those who have in mind to travel in car must take into account certain aspects so that the ride does not suffer setbacks due to the car, keep the safety equipment and safety vest.

 

April has brought some holidays that have cut off the work week, allowing you to relax with the family or some solo starts. This, nevertheless, obliges to be attentive to the maintenance of the vehicle so as not to suffer unforeseen and thus to enjoy without startles.

 

That’s why, and thinking about the next long weekend for Labor Day, which opens in May, Goodyear makes a small reminder of the nine elements to always keep in mind when going on a long trip.

 

Oil Levels

It is advisable to change it every 5 or 10 thousand kilometers and whenever you are going to make a long journey by road, due to the high requirement to which the engine will be subjected.

 

Filled antifreeze

The requirement of the engine in long trips also forces to monitor this liquid. Although it must be completed every six months, it must be done before the journey.

 

Monitor battery

Ideal battery maintenance is to change it every two years, so it is suggested to check your condition before traveling.

 

Appropriate emergency equipment

It is also important to check that the car has all the necessary elements in case of an incident: spare tire, cat, cross key, fuses, cords, lantern, triangle and reflective vest, remembering that the absence of the latter Is punished by law.

 

Flawless brakes

Check the wear of the brake shoes, brake pad conditions and check that the brake fluid levels are optimum.

 

Pen without damage

If the destination is southern Chile, chances are rain will appear. For this reason, it is ideal that the wiper blades are not damaged or worn, to better remove the water.

Ready lights

 

Be aware that all the lights in the car are properly lit. Also, pay close attention to the alignment of the lights, so as not to harm those who come in the opposite direction.

Updated documents

It is very important to keep all the papers of the vehicle up to date, with special attention to the technical review. Keep them handy and thus avoid fines for the absence or expiration of these.

 

Tires with adequate pressure

The air of the tires will depend on the conditions in which the trip is made, either with the number of people or the luggage that goes in the vehicle. However, Goodyear remembers the importance of checking the safety equipment before leaving and has the spare tire ready and in optimum condition.

 

With these nine points to consider, the vehicle will not be a matter of concern to have fun this next long weekend.
