ADAC calls safety vests back

They shine only 20 instead of 25 yards – therefore the ADAC has recalled hundreds of thousands of safety vests for school children. The specimens that were now distributed in southern Baden are, but not objectionable.

 

In the presence of Mayor Otto the first years of the Clara-school feature in Freiburg with the new vest on Wednesday; similar actions were recorded for example in Emending Fermat.

 

“I think you see it from properly cute!” Mayor Otto has gathered in the schoolyard for trial wearing the bright yellow vests. The action has a good reason: “all 17 minutes detects a child under 15 years of a car on German roads, and often only because it is not seen or too late,” says Volker, Chairman of ADAC. Therefore, the foundation “Gerber Engel” ADAC has launched together with the aid organization “Kinder” and Deutsche Post AG, the action “Traffic Detectives” to life, to make the journey to school for first graders even safer.

 

Dangers in the dark season

Are particularly high accident rates of young road users in autumn and winter, when darkness, diffused light and fog impair visibility? But at other times it is important to be always attentive on the road. How quickly can cause a little carelessness in an accident, as a six year old boy in Freiburg’s Riesel fled was hit by a tram and fatally injured showed, for example, in May 2006.

 

Around 16,000 schools in Germany should receive the school year a total of 750,000 West. Since the first delivery of the West produced in China but shone not 25, but only 20 meters wide, it is complaining that the ADAC but so that it will take with the nationwide delivery a little.

 

Receive new reflective vest in Freiburg 27 primary and special schools. According to the ADAC spokesman Thomas Wyle the sewage-graders have been already supplied with the new western version with full radiance.
