“Tintin” call the dockers the crane, which was designed for bulk handling in the Capesize vessel class and the container handling in ships of post-Panamax class. The permanent night shift makes the crane operator from nothing, on the contrary: “Night is not so much bustle, you have a lot more peace.” And on the Bremen Skyline it has stunning panoramic views.
The trucks are ready that 31-tonne tower sections of wind turbines that Feldhusen has to haul the cargo areas, also. In the hustle and bustle below the crane operator has a good view through the bottom of its upstream, glazed cabin. A camera image of the boom tip opened him live another perspective: the long ropes that dangle from the boom, the Traverse, hanging on for this work four more ropes with hooks to the ground directly below. There run colleagues in safety vest busily preparing to and fro. “The sets eyes purely” explains Feldhusen the activity of a colleague on a truck-mounted platform at the top of the concrete segment. The “eyes” are thick eyelets at the end of the wire ropes to accommodate the load.
Sometimes it’s precision work, what the young man has to do with the mobile harbor crane. The boom is extended to exactly 36.8 meters, then the display. The contact through micro-down is there, the work can begin. The hook of the lower cables have stranded cables under control. Feldhusen lifts the boom. Slowly Slings, Traverse, hooks and tower segment turn to the left. “Wait, hold on,” comes up through the intercom. “Quite small to Weser over”, comes the next statement. Feldhusen presses the buttons of the left joystick briefly, then again and again. The load moves to the left, minimal. Yet he has to correct: “Go look very small to Bremen over.” Below lead men in reflective vest the concrete element with your hands with. The crane jerks almost imperceptibly. Then it’s done. “The situation can be maintained”, the colleague at the bottom. The half-shell is there arrived, where they must be. Using a joystick Feldhusen invites them off gently. The tower part should be exactly centered on the truck. Precision work precisely. “Some drivers take this very well,” he explains. “But I’m doing this for nine years. If I could not, I would have done something wrong. “Below, one takes out again the eyes. The truck departs, an unloaded takes his place. Then the game starts all over again. Five to six vices creates Feldhusen per hour, 35 to 40 per shift. Many tower segments have already disappeared. The asphalt looks like the Mikado game of a giant: a long wooden beams that underlay that are no longer required, are scattered everywhere.
Eight weeks ago Feldhusen and his colleagues have begun to load the concrete shells. “This is all a business, 4600 parts,” he says. Night after night, night after night go so many shells in the onward transport, such as trucks are there. Planning can dockworkers rare. Too often, wind and weather them a spanner in the works when it comes to precise arrival times.
More than one million tons of cargo are handled annually in Europe’s largest terminal for general cargo and heavy cargo. Goods come and go: forest products mainly from the USA, Finland, the Iberian Peninsula and Russia; Steel and components go as exports to the United States, North Africa and the Gulf States. Fascinated have the dimensions in the New Town harbors Feldhusen already when he visited as a boy his father at work. That is, after all, for 41 years here crane operator. “It’s totally fun,” says the young man about his work. His favorite Loads a container, delivering the barges from Bremerhaven. 140 containers fit on a ship, about 25 creates Feldhusen per hour. “The are pre jammed near the quay. There is not much to be observed and no long waiting times, “says the learned construction mechanic. Per Container Crockery he lifts the 30-ton container on effortlessly.
Until 144 tons can lift “Tintin”, if his arm is extended not more than 20 meters. The other way around Feldhusen can use a swivel range of 51 meters, but then lift only 45 tonnes. In short: “Tintin” is super. “It’s fairly new, pleasant to drive and is fixed with heavy weights.” What one loves so, it is customary accordingly. At the windshield, a window washer is mounted behind the seat a mini vacuum cleaner is next to fire extinguishers, helmet and reflective tape stowed. “For the dirt from the shoes on the disk.”
At this point everything is loaded, “Tintin” has the next location. Feldhusen switches on the display the symbols for tires, axles and feet. Once the feet are above the indicator turns green. Then a loud beep sounds – the signal that announces the upcoming trip. The joysticks are connected to the drive mode; a colleague helps when leaving a parking. “Stop!” He exclaims. “Since ist’n truck behind you!” With the thumb on the joystick Feldhusen rotates the crane. The Slings are blowing, then it starts. “Fire!”, The man calls down. Leisurely the huge vehicle moves through the night, while a red-hot sky over the steel plant announced a tap.
Month: May 2016
Their name – “Legion”
Volunteers in Peter teach everyone to save people. On the windshield of his car in the lower right corner of the red cross pasted. On the seat lying reflective vest with “Lifeguard” reflective lettering. He adds: “This is my personal car. Just when something happens, people have to understand that I am not a casual person that I can trust. ”
Sasha Raevskii thirty, he – the anesthetist “emergency” brigade. Eighteen months ago, I conceived and organized social movement in St. Petersburg “Legion”, which teaches everyone to free first aid skills.
We go, and Sasha said that in order to save a person, you need to know a little bit. This “little” may well fit in a couple of two-hour lectures. But the average person these lectures in his life, as a rule, no. They simply have nowhere to take. And most of the time being it seems that chest compressions – it is rather stills of extremals and heroes, not the reality of everyday life. And then in front of you suddenly falls unconscious on the street people without safety vest, and the only tool in 98 cases out of 100 – a mobile phone in the hands trembling, to dial “fast”.
This pervasive helplessness Rajewski, bluntly, angry. “Most come to call on the accident, and the people stand around and shoot what is happening, and not even fit to person. Sometimes you just want to give in the face. ”
I imagine myself in the place of these people and I think that my personal awareness in the provision of first aid, such as zero. Strictly speaking, the criminal is zero. And like me, in the Russian majority.
Rajewski this trend is trying to break.
He remembers the first death. It was his first job – a male nurse in a city hospital, Peter. “They brought a guy with a crash. In the blood of the young. He tried to save, but he died. I remember it very well. I shook his death. ”
Death as a result of ignorance of others, he believes, is criminal. “I always say in the classroom, that even if you do not care about the fate of others, it can happen that would be bad your mom or baby. In your eyes, and the bill will go to the minutes. this is the argument works for many. ”
Rajewski after working as an orderly in the 17 years since this track and rolled. Then I worked as a nurse, paramedic teams “first aid”. He graduated from medical school, this year’s Medical University. Who runs internship while working anesthetist resuscitation team of “first aid”.
A bear began seven years ago knowledge of the masses. The university has become a co-author of Learning first aid skills project “Help yourself.” Together with friends organized a team and began to offer services to schools. Thus began the “blanket mailing” basic credo Rajewski – everyone should be able to use the chance to save a human life.
It turned out a lot of like-minded people. Now – the whole team. Eighteen months ago, there was “Legion” – a social movement.
targeted audience
Who would have thought that the basics of first aid should be taught to students of medical universities. It was found necessary. Because in the first two years it does not say anything educational program on how to save people.
Why read a lecture on first aid for children with cerebral palsy from correctional boarding school, is also not entirely clear. But the “legionnaire” Maya Rodionova me explains: “We have them, we cannot of course to learn to do heart massage practice, but they can remember it and tell us when you need it, to others. And we are working with them the ability to ask for help, to call the emergency services do not hesitate to shout if you want. Orem in training right along with them. We also terribly squeezed society, people with reflective tape often cannot even call for help, like as indecent. ”
Even their constant “customers” – students, bikers and firefighters.
Students – because life safety lessons (life safety fundamentals) about anything, but not about the skills, bikers – obvious clientele, and fire – too formal approach sacrifices. When the “legionnaires” firehouse management asked to conduct workshops, it became clear that teaching to extinguish the fire, firefighters not really taught to save the victims of the fires.
frightened raids
Kazan drivers “lit” on the vest and first aid kit
Under the guise of the championship in water sports, which is being held in Kazan, the social network of the city were flooded with messages that the traffic police has announced a raid drivers. Like, for lack of a fire extinguisher and a certificate to it, as well as first aid kits, “the new model 2015”, which should be reflective vest, can easily cater to the car pound. Without superfluous needs better not to travel on the road, and those with a crack on the glass or accumulated unpaid fines.
Warming interest, enterprising young people have not forgotten to write about that in the automobile bought up all the emergency response funds, but they can still be found in the bazaars along the roads.
Unsuspecting drivers panicked and entrepreneurs inflated prices. The cost of “Set motorist” on the road jumped several times. And if sane person could meet with the purchase of 500 rubles, now sets diverge like hotcakes and 1200, and even in one and a half thousand rubles. And cunning dealers managed to sell kits “from the future”: the date of manufacture on them, “August 2015”.
Only now it turns out that the hype has been created deliberately, because during the shutdown rare inspector is interested in what is in the trunk. First of all traffic police officers with reflective tape have aimed to identify drunk drivers on the road and explicit violators of traffic rules.
This was on hand to wreak havoc, and so everything is clear. At the same rake Kazan drivers came four years ago during the Universiade. Then, too, all frightened, that work on the road “beasts” and there is not a better show.
And the funny thing. None of the alarmists not thought to look into the rules, where black and white, you need to carry in the trunk.
– On the one hand, we are pleased that those who had not carried with a warning triangle, first aid kit and fire extinguisher, finally bought them, – he told the “RG” the deputy commander of the regiment DPS traffic police Kazan Mikhail Savin. – But we have already been forced to deny media reports that the lack of these items will be sent to the car pound car. Indeed, it is impossible to pass inspection if no first aid kit, warning triangle and a fire extinguisher, but technically it is not a malfunction. And as for the safety vest and certificates I did not say. About it in the rules do not say anything. Apparently, someone was very profitable to sow panic on the eve of the championship, and the web spam was launched. I myself looked for the interest in the car shop to see how, for example, is a fire extinguisher. Look, there are 120 rubles. So, I think, it is not so bad.
Incidentally, the traffic police cars on the streets of Kazan during the World Cup really has increased, but the crew did not lyutuyut as eyewitnesses describe in social networks, pumping situation. Drivers were warned in advance that they are a couple of weeks, while there is an international tournament, not out of town on the dedicated lanes for movement of shuttles championship marked in orange. For it really is a penalty of 1.5 thousand rubles. But the issuing of receipts are not inspectors and cameras aimed at selected areas to eliminate the human factor.
In the alleys of Sambia: bike ride with a historical bias
April 17 held a regular, third in a row, a bike ride through the alleys of the Kaliningrad region. At this time, the participants not only passed along the route, in some parts of which are preserved magnificent examples of roadside alleys, but also met with some pages of history of the land and planted new trees.
The route ran through the bike ride Semba (Kaliningrad) Peninsula from Kaliningrad to the Romanovs and back through the villages Kholmogorovka, carpet, Roshchino, Springs, Melnikov. Cyclists in the “Avenue of the Kaliningrad region” reflective vest started on the stele at the entrance of Kaliningrad, close to Fort №5, and moved in the direction of the village Kovrovo.
Weather, frankly, did not have to cycling, testing experienced and novice cyclists to the test. Through the veil of rain outlines of many kilometers, but unfortunately preserved only in part – due to active logging – linden alley.
The section from Kholmogorovka to Kovrovo cyclists could see the trunks of trees reflective elements mounted road services in 2015 on the advice of the avenues of defense.
Roshchino
The first stop on the way was the old manor house in the village Roshchino, which has a long history. In the XIV century it housed the Order courtyard where horses were engaged in cultivation of combat. In 1414 there Gryunhof name – Green yard.
Needless estate was first mentioned in 1623 as a hunting lodge of the Great Elector. At the turn of XVII – XVIII centuries at the behest of Frederick William I rebuilt it, turning from a wooden structure in the stone building in the Baroque style. Our participant gather together with safety vest to learn this history.
In 1814 the manor favor the hero of the war with Napoleon, the Prussian General Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow of Merit. Outstanding commander, successfully defended the three Berlin and played a crucial role in the Battle of Waterloo, von Bülow enjoyed great prestige and affection in their own army and allies respect. In Konigsberg, an honorary citizen of which he was, his name was of one of the streets (now -. Glass Street), and a locket with his picture graced Sackheim gates. The Dutch, after the return of Napoleon to power, offered to lead his general liberation forces, and Russian have awarded him the Order of St. George’s 2 nd degree.
After his death in 1816, von Bulow was buried in the cemetery of the reformist community of Konigsberg, and in 1843 his son moved the remains in a modest tomb in Gryunhofe.
Survived several wars and generations of owners, changing political regimes and methods of use (in the Soviet period it housed the farm board medprofilaktory, accommodations and even a cinema) in the past two decades, it was empty and gradually destroyed. Despite the status of an object of cultural heritage, produced in 2007, for the manor no one cared that eventually led in 2013 to the collapse of the third building in the northern part.
Fortunately, the court decided to withdraw the building from the owner (by the way, it is not privatizing legitimately). Now she has a new home – young energetic Alex and Katherine, to make every effort to restore the estate of her previous form and transform it into a museum.
For many participants of the bike ride Gryunhof manor became a real discovery. I wanted to come back here – this time as volunteers and helpers to restore it.
Romanovo
Further, the way participants of the run was in the Romanov (ex. Pobeten), one of the oldest settlements in the region. There was it before the arrival on the territory of the Baltic tribes, first recorded in the chronicles in 1258. Around this time, the fortress was built here was destroyed during the civil unrest of the XVI century.
Not just updated it for many years kept many cultural values: a wooden chair with richly carved and six wooden figures with reflective tape on it, made in the late XVII century altar embroidery depicting figures of four young women, the body of the XVII century, a silver bowl of the XV century, wall paintings, bells .
In Pobetenskoy Lutheran church for many years served as Bill Abel, on behalf of the Duke Albrecht in 1561 performed the translation of the Small Catechism of Martin Luther in the Prussian language.
Another pastor of the local Christian Taege at the request of General Fermor (the one under whose guidance the first time Russian occupied East Prussia with Koenigsberg) became a priest in the Russian field army.
During the Second World War Lutheran Church almost did not suffer: it was only one shell, damaging part of the roof. Today, the historic church building, by the way, since 1990, which belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church, ruinizirovano.
In Togliatti, the terrorists helped the police uncover robbery
The detainee – a previously convicted local resident – is suspected of embezzlement of one of the Orthodox churches, located in Togliatti Autazavadskaya area. Which place gather policeman with reflective vest.
In the police department number 22, the Office of the Russian Interior Ministry in the city of Togliatti, it was reported that in one of the parishes Avtozavodsky district, unknown stole kiot under the icon.
Interviewing the victim, law enforcement custody of the attacker installed the signs. According to the indications of crime stipulated by part 1 of article 161 of the Criminal Code “Robbery” was prosecuted. Description attacker operations duty officer sent to all external services, the police in safety vest brought to the PSD activists and senior patrol outfits at a briefing before going into the service for the protection of public order in the city.
While on route patrol, officer patrol police Senior Sergeant Denis Ivanov, together with representatives of voluntary people’s guards saw the company of young people. One of the men, by signs fit the description of the robber noticed law enforcement officers and men in uniform with reflective tape, nervous and quickened his pace.
On foot patrol detained the man and took him to the police station №22 Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Togliatti for further proceedings. Detainees was an unemployed local resident born in 1984. According to the police before the man has come to the attention of law enforcement bodies for committing theft. During the conversation with the police the suspect confessed to the crime. Currently, the stolen property seized and returned to the temple.
Goes the way of Fatima, follow the advice of GNR
Many people have already made the route to the shrine for the pilgrimage of 12 and 13 August. This week, a pilgrim without safety vest was hit and responsible fled. Meet the safety instructions.
At a time when many people already made the road on the way to the Shrine of Fatima, we need extra attention in circulation, either walking either by car.
The GNR leaves some basic safety advice to all the faithful who, these days, are on their way to participate in the pilgrimage of 12 and 13 August.
Lieutenant Colonel Granho, GNR, begins by advising pilgrims, “whenever possible, walk in single file.”
They should “signal the beginning and end of the groups using either by day or by night, reflective vest; always walk on the side opposite to the direction of traffic and always on the side and not on the road. ”
Whenever you need to gather the group to pause, pilgrims should do it off the road and take special care when crossing any roads.
“To the drivers should pay special attention to the period starting the sun to set, always keep the safe distance for vehicles and in particular on national roads, pay special attention to speed,” advises Lt. Col. Granho.
A woman without reflective tape was fatally hit in the early hours of Tuesday in the IC2, near Condeixa-a-Nova, when he walked in pilgrimage to Fatima.
Source Territorial Command of the GNR said that this was a hit-and-run that occurred at about 6:20 a.m., in the town of Cernache, still in the municipality of Coimbra.
At Lisbon airport there was not much who to call to protest police
Dresses civil in arrivals from Lisbon airport, reflective vest to serve uniforms, Luis Barreto and other police try to capture the attention of tourists who are preparing to get into the taxi queue. No easy task: between drag the bags and draw from mobile phones as soon as they are taken on land, most often the pamphlet alerting visitors to Portugal for the loss of rights of law enforcement officers is folded in four, and put haphazardly in your pocket without even the right to a curious look. Or wrapped will ilk of cigarette paper and forgotten soon afterwards.
“I knew a police in Portugal have an initial maturity of less than 800 euros? In your country and is winning a cop? “, Can be read on the flyer that the National Police Union (Sinapol) distributed this afternoon who came to Lisbon. Having already spent at Funchal airport, the campaign will also make scale in Porto (31 May), in Ponta Delgada (June 4) and Faro at a date yet to score. also available in English, French, German and Spanish, the message ends by saying that the PSP officers “are unmotivated” and that “it is more than obvious that an unmotivated worker does not produce as much as a motivated worker with safety vest.” Proud reduction of crime statistics, which allow the government to call Portugal a safe country, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Miguel Macedo, described the protest as “truly regrettable.” Who gets the land luso not really.
“I was expecting the worst,” admits Thomas Fischer, a German journalist to live for several years in Portugal. After all that heard about the protest Sinapol, had a more radical campaign to create a sense of insecurity to anyone stopping in Portugal. After all not. If the newcomer is of Germanic origin and not master any other language not even able, in fact, you realize there very well what is at stake. In the absence of someone who spoke the language, Sinapol resorted to automatic Google translation, admits the leader of the union, Armando Ferreira.
“Scary that, right?”. Just come from Maranhão with his wife for a holiday in Lisbon and later in Porto, Bruno Fonseca, a lawyer of 35 years, is speaking not of translation but the very situation described by the police – particularly the loss of access to medical services free, issue that is dear to him. “In Brazil the health of public networks are very poor and we want to have a health plan we have to pay out of our pocket,” he laments. It is more rested when you realize that there is no strike of ongoing security forces. “A strike would put the population against them. This kind of awareness of the people is more effective, “he says. “If the problem is not security, so I’m relieved,” confirms another Brazilian lawyer.
Unionists are now grappling with an elderly woman in reflective tape who mistook their vests with the airport employees – and wants to live force to be properly informed of the whereabouts of a given service. No-to be the last passenger to do so, and the refusal of the police to turn into guides airport there, costing them some grimaces of disgust.
“It’s a shame that this happens.” This, to Maria Santos, a management reformed coming companies from a tour in Ireland, is the situation that the country arrived with the police have to go protest to the airport gate – not the protest itself. “In fact, this campaign gives a bad image of the country”, he admits. “But they have every right to fight for what they think is fair.”
Increased monitoring for pedestrians, cyclists, improve traffic safety
Today, walking and cycling have been the focus of attention both in Europe and in Hungary. The reason is that pedestrians and cyclists wearing reflective vest – as the most vulnerable participants in road traffic – a high proportion of the total traffic accidents. In typical accidents that almost always involve personal injury, and often severe, respectively. the tragic outcome end.
Hajdu-Bihar county in 2011 road traffic incident involving personal injury occurred in 501, of which 79 bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents caused 26. According to primary statistics this year, 21 people lost their lives in the county’s roads, of which 7 persons were pedestrians (two main causes, the main part 5), 1 bike (cause).
Overall, we can say that, despite all efforts, compared to the same period last year, both numerically (20 → 26) and the number of road traffic accidents caused by pedestrians as a proportion (3.37% → 5.18%) rose. For cyclists, the number of events that have occurred at any lower (89 → 79), but a proportion of the total accident data (15% → 15.7%) Observing that a lesser degree of increase occurred.
it can be said that there is no significant change compared to previous years, the event remains the most automobile drivers (289) caused by the examination of those causing accidents groups. They cyclists (79) follow, and the truck drivers (64).
Experiences carried out in the past year, the checks show that many people on foot and by bicycle road users are not fully aware of the relevant basic traffic rules and, unfortunately, more and more frequent are cases when you deliberately ignore the road signs (ie. red light passing through or a designated pedestrian crossing location away from trying to cross the road). The pedestrian with reflective tape traffic characteristics that inattentive and not sufficiently careful, takarásból take on the road or simply poorly estimated the distance of the approaching vehicle, its speed.
The bicycle road users should be particularly drawn to the attention of the Road Traffic Act to get to know and respect as one of the most common violations when oncoming traffic is one-way traffic on the road, so that they were not given permission for any additional tables. Debrecen does not have a single road, street or road either, where, under the “one-way road” sign “showing a bicycle unless ábrájú” would be placed out additional tables.
explanation of this law should be mentioned that the land unsuitable for transport such as cycling road roadway if it’s physically impossible to ride a bicycle. No unfit for the road-bike transport if it takes a lot of traffic and therefore dangerous to travel there or the road signs and rules prohibit the transport of bicycles, so in these cases the sidewalk cycling is prohibited.
The highway code between the bike at night and limited visibility, lights should be illuminated in a specific regulation, and the person driving the bike – outside built-up areas – must wear a reflective vest. If the bike sliding person (pedestrian) road outside the built-up area roadway, leállósávján, útpadkáján staying the night and in case of limited visibility safety vest (clothing) should wear.
The reservation shall 6/1990 (IV.12.) of the Kohen § 116 (1) monitoring and enforcement by the police to task. optional accessories listed in the above regulation – the vehicle must be fitted – no matter what kind of weather conditions, time of day or what kind of roadway runs a bicycle.
traffic accidents involving cyclists occur secondary reason is often irresponsible behavior of the bike drunk driver (driving) person. personal injury road traffic accidents caused by cyclists 11.3% of intoxication played a role. The checks will particularly timely to 01 July 2011, the date of an administrative fine will be levied against the drunk cyclists travel.
Given the above, it is important that the heads of pedestrians and non-motor-driven vehicles, particularly irregularly cyclistst.
How to properly light up the cars?
The D.A.S. According to expert JogSzerviz question posed in the title, surprisingly, not so much, sometimes there is no obvious, and many drivers without reflective vest aware of when, what and how to light up the vehicles. Likewise they do not know what happens when the light is not sufficient, and what they say about it the whole of the relevant laws and regulations.
under the legislation of the Highway Code must be between the vehicles at night and limited visibility lights, it’s pretty obvious, so most people are aware. This means the use of dipped headlights and marker, with the exception of certain mopeds ship with no passing headlights.
But some people are not aware of the fact that the vehicles be screened day and good visibility even under. By car only when the open road corridor, but what few people know definitely that you must turn on headlights lived continuously in motor areas.
The use of high beam (spotlight) allowed only outside built-up areas unless the light signal are added. If the vehicle coming towards you or moving ahead, you cannot use the high beams, and the same is true even if parallel to the road train or ship is flying, because they are not vakíthatjuk the reflector. Of course, the light signal can be given even if the traffic is blinded to the other participants – warned dr. Aaron Szabo.
Fog lights and headlights
The D.A.S. JogSzerviz expert stressed that the use of fog lights is allowed only if it is justified by the visibility. The rear fog light as the brake lights of adequate light in so it can be confusing under normal viewing conditions. The fog lights (front fog lamp) is similar to the blinding lights, if fog or heavy rain did not dampen the shine.
Still only vehicle headlights in fog and falling snow can be used, fog lamps and reflectors not at all. Of course, this does not apply to a vehicle that is stopped in traffic only. Hand off to illuminate the vehicle is standing still, if the road is, and is not sufficiently lit by street lights or other light source.
Brake light, turn signal
In addition, it is important to mention also that compliance with the rules of the police clearly verifies and there are errors when they certainly cannot go on, as long as there is no fixed. It does not take part in the circulation of a vehicle, which all Its brake is broken or does not work in the direction indicator and the left front and rear position indicator.
The stop lamp is no excuse for turning signal may proceed if it can be indicated (in either direction) by hand, the position error is not an immediate problem between day and good visibility, or when the dipped-beam headlamps can be replaced. The latter case is the first opportunity to replace the bulb.
Cyclists lighting
Cyclists are also lighting up the highway code regulates. a bicycle can travel between night and limited visibility, which pre-white, red backward, continuous or flashing light to the lamp and reflector is placed. In addition, to be worn outside built-up area of safety vest or otherwise reflective clothes – she pointed out dr. Aaron Szabo.
Winter “Highway smarties”
Due to certain areas of the country predicted winter weather and changing road conditions, prudence, patience, preparation of the vehicle draws the attention of the police in safety vest.
How to travel with a speed roads during the winter months? What are the main rules and useful information that you should know and keep plying the winter so far? These are the questions to answer to the National Police Headquarters National Accident Prevention Committee, a publication of the “Highway smarties”.
Most importantly, prepare the car for the winter traffic (battery, lights, brakes, tires, wiper blades, etc.). The washer antifreeze and ice scraper is also inevitable as a prop matter at this time. As road users can expect a longer journey time, slower travel speed, it is recommended to leave the road full of vehicles refueled and blankets, hot drinks, food, and if necessary, take medication.
The benefits of winter tires is perhaps unnecessary to mention, but equally important to ensure the observables. If, due to a technical failure, or any other reason, if only for a short time to leave the vehicle, always wear a reflective clothing.
In the winter, visibility is often bad, it gets dark early, for a long time to use reflective vest and the vehicle világítóberendezéseit, it is very important that they work properly. The headlights and other lights such cases should be cleaned regularly. However, due to lower visibility to drive more slowly and it is important to maintain a greater following distance, reduces risks of accident and the maneuvering in bad mistakes can be corrected easily.
Highly rainy road overtaking should be especially considered. If the conditions are in place for overtaking, they turned on the wipers before the start of the maneuver, because in addition to the vehicle to prevent the passing of time – especially for lorries – may slush on the windshield, making it impossible to view.
The “little smart highway” will give more useful advice as well, in addition to the previous, for example, draws attention to the dangers of so-called tricky thefts, give advice in case of technical failure, as described in the emergency telephone numbers in addition to public information.
