You have to change it for reflective vest

Updated: The Minister for Transport has specified how things are related to reflective vests. “The protective features of vests that conform to the earlier European Standard EN 471 are safe and meet the technical requirements. I would therefore like to reassure the drivers that they do not have to throw away the vests they bought earlier and buy new ones. It is true that the vest, which is part of the mandatory equipment, must comply with the European Standard (EN 471 or EN ISO 20471). However, no prescription shows that older vests meeting this norm are not right and people can not use them, “Transport Minister Dan wrote in his statement.

 

Usually, yogurt, meat, bananas will spoil, and perhaps the expiration time would be understood in the mandatory first-aid kit. But at the reflective safety vest? The European Union and therefore the Ministry of Transport do not like the reflex vests of Czech motorists reflecting, so you will have to replace those existing ones with some more reflective ones. The new standard, which is referred to as reflective vests, has been in force since January this year, said News. This is the application of the European directives governing the designation of products intended for the mandatory fitting of a vehicle.

 

The new standard is labeled EN ISO 20471: 2013 and the so-called Notification Person and its four-digit identification number must be included on the reflective vest. Old vests according to ČSN EN 471 or EN 20471 can not be used as part of mandatory vehicle equipment. The question is how much the police officers will rely on reflective yellow vests for inspections. However, this could be a crucial element if they can not find any violation of the law when thoroughly scrutinized. You know, the comma must be filled.

They delivered brochures and safety accessories to motorists. The General Directorate of Municipal Public Safety (DGSPM), through the Road Police Directorate, carries out an awareness campaign for potation motorists with the aim of avoiding accidents.

Too many cyclists circumnavigate their safety

In winter, it is not only cold, but dark. At the time of going to work or college, the sun is not always up and at night, at the time of debauchery, it is sometimes already lying down. This early December was therefore the ideal time to carry out the operations that took place Thursday and yesterday before the colleges.

 

The police station had put the package by hiring a dozen officials under the command of Major Luray, head of the public order and road safety unit, as well as officials of the municipal police of these three communes.

 

And the result is edifying: on the two days of this operation of road safety very targeted, since concentrated on bicycles, 60% of the 62 cycles controlled, were not in conformity. The drivers of these two-wheelers have all received convocation for a subsequent presentation of their bikes after compliance. All except one, who won the pompom, since it was verbalized for crossing red lights in the red phase, on a non-compliant cycle, with a phone held in hand. “The total …” sighs Major Luray frowning.

 

“I am surprised by the lack of information from these two-wheelers. So we gave them an explanatory leaflet to drive safely, but also yellow vests for the purpose of being seen by other road users. These control operations will be renewed periodically “, warns the police still reassured by the” very good reception reserved for the agents by the schoolboys who understood that our operation was made for their security “. As for the heads of institutions, they applauded with both hands this intervention beneficial for all and could see that in the corridors, the students spoke only about that…
