Visibility in the dark is an important issue not only for children. A safety vest with reflective tape can enhance the visibility and its good help for safety. Older people are particularly at risk in traffic. The police and the Office of Transport Management informed yesterday seniors on road safety in the dark season.
Especially one was stressing: Even light-colored clothing is dark at night. , A white jacket protects hardly even if it is better than a black one. What really helps reflectors is available in all shapes and colors. Whether reflective bracelets, pendants, and umbrellas with built-in flashlight, shopping bags or the classic safety vests – everything was there, was introduced, tested, given away or sold. Joachim Tabatha, road safety consultant for the police informed around 50 interested in the center plus the Awe on the road victory. “In particular, the fully reflective jackets and caps are a great innovation,” said Tabatha. Even small trailers are particularly useful. These are hardly recognizable as such, but would have a strong effect when light falls on them. Products such as tapes and trailers should be secured, especially in the arms and legs, as the movement is easier to detect.
Maria Gaze already has many reflective items. She is particularly impressed by the fully reflective jackets and the inconspicuous trailers. “They’re not quite as flashy, but do seem to work well. My husband often uses the normal safety vest, which I like but not so much,” said Gaze. In addition to the reflective products mainly active systems such as LED or flashlights are good helpers. These shine by themselves and need not be only illuminated.
Of course, the behavior remains important in traffic. Especially in the winter months, the police will also pay greater attention to the lights of cars and adherence to predetermined speeds. Here are now also increasingly pedestrians are aware of their security, then will wear a reflective vest on the road to keep safe.
