Morbihan prefecture called road users with the greatest vigilance, strict compliance with the rules of the Highway Code and adopt a responsible and prudent behavior, adapted to the weather and traffic. The move to winter time and the possible degradation of weather conditions in the autumn increase, in fact, the risk of road accidents.

Throughout this period, the police thus remain at a high level traffic controls operations – including unmarked – to punish dangerous behavior (alcohol, drugs, speeding, and failure to respect the rules of priority or distances safety, use of mobile devices …) and protect lives. It is the responsibility of everyone to travel safely during this weekend traditionally accident-prone. The road safety major operation “See and be seen”, launched in 2015 by the gendarmerie group will also be extended from 31 October to 11 November 2016 on the entire department.

Be vigilant with respect to other road users who are less visible at this time of the year cyclists, motorcycles and pedestrians on public roads must always be seen by motorists and wear reflective clothing.

Reflective vest keeps you safer with the time change

The prefecture of Lot-et-Garonne calls for vigilance. Involved, the visibility of pedestrians by drivers as night falls faster in urban areas, wearing a safety vest can enhance visibility and make you safer.

 

Ne is past winter time. In the night from Saturday to Sunday, in fact, everyone could (not) sleep an hour longer. Furthermore it causes insomnia in some, this time change has not only positive aspects, as recalled by the Prefecture of Lot-et-Garonne.

 

Publicity

The number of pedestrian accidents increases by 40%, between 17 hours and 19 hours in the transition to winter time. Driver can’t see clearly when the pedestrians without wearing reflective vest. And state services confirmed that over the past five years, the number of injury accidents of pedestrians increased by 3% in November compared to October. Indeed, the decline of one hour has a significant impact on the hours of light: night falls earlier in the day, at the end of classes in particular.

 

The Lot-et-Garonne prefecture therefore presents a series of recommendations which the first is intended for pedestrians prefer bright clothing or assorted reflective strips.

The gloves with reflective material certified compulsory from Sunday

Proposed by the Road Safety Committee (IRB) on 2 October 2015, the measure requiring mandatory gloves with reflective material certified on a motorized two-wheeled vehicle was validated and published in the Official Gazette on 19 September.

 

As a result, all users of motorcycles and scooters, pilots as passengers, must now be equipped with EPI-certified gloves in all circumstances. The measure will come into force on Sunday, November 20th. In other words, you have until Saturday to buy you a homologated pair if not yet the case.

 

As a reminder, any glove cannot be worn. The decree of 19 September 2016 specifies that the latter must be “in conformity with the regulations on personal protective equipment, like the safety vest“. They are recognizable by the CE marking specific to the practice of the motorcycle.

 

As of Sunday, any driver or passenger who does not respect this new regulation of the Highway Code will be subject to a third-class fine, a flat-rate fine of € 68 and a withdrawal of a point on the driver’s license.

 

In order to accompany this measure and to insist on the importance of adapted equipment, Road Safety launches a new prevention campaign. The latter reminds users of the need to protect their hands on a two-wheeler by using reflective accessory. This campaign will be broadcast in the print media and available on the web.

In case of failure, mandatory safety triangle?

Must we always report your vehicle stopped by the security triangle? It’s not an obligation.

Since 2008, all vehicles traveling on French territory are required to have at least a yellow reflective vest and a pre-warning triangle. To skip this equipment can be expensive: € 135 fine, according to Article R416-19 of the Highway Code.

When to use his triangle?

Must we always get his security triangle when you’re down? According to the Highway Code (Article R416-19), when a vehicle stopped on the road is a traffic hazard (…) the driver must provide advance warning of the obstacle by making use of its fire distress and an emergency warning triangle with reflective tape.

 

The obligation to put in place the triangle does not apply when this action constitutes a manifest endangering the life of the conductor (Decree of 30 September 2008). The vehicles on the hard shoulder and does not impinge on the floor are not subject to this requirement, either.

 

Reminder – emergency warning triangle must be placed on the floor at a distance of about 30 meters, or beyond if necessary, for it to be visible to drivers coming in the same lane. In addition, highway, remember to store behind the guardrail.

The mandatory safety kit in Europe too

If you travel abroad, note that in some European countries set the mandatory safety kit of accessories is not the same. For example, in our Spanish neighbors, each car must have 1 Reflective safety vest and 2 pre-warning triangles. Conversely, Austria, drivers must have two jackets and one triangle.

Pedestrians, beware. Do not forget to bring reflective elements

Beware of thieves and pedestrians in dark areas around graveyards, police warn. It was Wednesday evening because many families set off to light a candle deceased to the cemetery and honor and their memory. Busy will not only cemeteries, but also roads and paths. Annually, the police recorded an increase in thefts and accidents.

 

In the field, it is true even of “All Souls’ Day were policemen moving around cemeteries and in busy places, but they have not in such a large scale as just last weekend, when the police with safety vest had a nationwide event focused on the driver, but also monitor the nearby cemeteries.

 

“Officers from the local police departments to patrol the roads are normally well as foot patrols appear on some cemeteries,” advised Michael Richter, spokesman police.

 

Pedestrians should also have taken into account that they must wear according to the amendment of last year, at least one reflective material, light from a mobile phone or handheld flashlight is definitely not enough. These equipments have appealed and policemen from Rakovnicko random and it will also spokeswoman Michelle Richter control.

 

Visible up to 200 meters

According to police statistics, only in 2016, died in the Czech Republic, 131 pedestrians because drivers on the road are not seen in time.

I’ll take it because even now when the road to the cemetery, although children go off the road on a dirt road.”

Reflective accessory keep your safety

“At night, all cyclists are gray” almost. In any case, a rider without reflective vest is not seen is a rider in danger. And before the multitude of lighting systems, it is difficult to recognize which are tailored to our needs. So are you an active cyclist or liability facing the bicycle lighting?

 

The active illumination means emit its own light through a board energy source. The main objective of the active light is to see and also to be seen. Let’s see what kind of lighting best match according to your cycling. A removable light is interesting if one uses several bikes. The disadvantages are: you need to transport your equipment each time on you when you park, to prevent theft. These accessories usually run on batteries that wear out quickly.

 

In general, a taillight LEDs (LED) red is recommended. Indeed, it is a powerful, economical, reliable light, and inexpensive. Namely, the lateral visibility is not as effective with a bulb (the diode beam is narrower). Up front, several choices available to you. For example the new headlights bright white LEDs (3W) are more effective than the old bulb lamps. More and more bikes are equipped with dynamo LED headlamp whose power can reach 40 Lux.

 

In poorly lit roads, halogen headlights are more effective than single bulbs. However, if these lights are feeding by batteries or batteries, backup time is very low. In fact, they consume a lot of energy. To counter this disadvantage, there are devices that are battery attached to the bicycle frame. They are heavier, but indispensable on long regular route.

 

The reflectors are mandatory equipment on his bike: white in front, red at the rear, and oranges on the pedals. There are also tires with reflective retro flanks that provide to have wheel reflectors (or ability to add adhesive reflective tape. It is possible to add additional reflectors and other colors in the wheels.

 

In case the bike is used regularly, it is best to use a lighting dynamo. Steady light with no risk of flight, complete autonomy, modest weight, durability, ecological, inexpensive. Main drawback: there is almost no lighting or when you are stopped.

Lighting battery is also used to run daily. But beware: rechargeable battery, power down quickly at the end of cycle. You may complete your journey in complete darkness.

 

The batteries are a good solution if you roll little night. Only this is not very environmentally friendly. In the article How to be visible bike while protecting its environment, you will find no batteries fires that have little negative impact on the planet.

Note that there are also lighting systems with magnetic induction contactless (without battery). The brand specializes in this area their latest range of front and rear lights RL 700 is powerful.

 

Wearing high visibility vest is mandatory open road at night or when visibility is inadequate, since 1 October 2008.

It is advisable to wear the recommended equipment for cycling to enhance visibility. If you wear a backpack, think of the reflective covers. Clothes can replace the wearing of the vest, provided they are approved. Several other bright accessories can be more discreet but equally effective: armbands, greenhouses pants, gloves.
