Reflective vest will avoid many accidents at the wheel

The work begins to bear fruit, and more will give. The Villanova Local Police officer José Luis has been teaching classes in schools and institutes in the municipality for six years and has managed to ensure that children act as advocates of road safety for their parents. They have learned the lesson and do not hesitate to require adults to put on their belts, not to talk on the phone at the wheel and to do the exercise of counting 1,001, 1,002 and 1,003 before starting a STOP. And if you play the role of pedestrians already know that it is mandatory to put on the reflective vest, which better to wear light clothing if it is night and always walk on the left.

 

“Someone who does not wear a belt begins to say pi-pi-pi, so tell him that he or she will. These small machines are going to be xenia aeration, “says the agent.

But his work has not yet ended, far from it. Maui, as the boys call him, has proposed to implant in Villanova the “Generation 00: zero accidents, zero victims”. This is the title that has given to a project that will develop throughout this course. In addition to continuing with the informative lectures and practical classes with the mobile park that gives in these cases the Provincial Traffic Headquarters, his idea includes calling a drawing competition on road safety and instituting a book of signatures in which public entities and Private companies to write their commitment in this matter, among other initiatives.

 

Six years learning

The objective abounds the official, is to continue deepening training and awareness that prevention can save many lives; and those children who were released in Children and who pass to the institute already have a long way traveled thanks to the classes with Maui.

 

The police take safety vest returned last week to the school of San Roué de Croon and before it was in San Miguel and Julio Cambia. In the next few weeks he will go to Termed and Bain, and he plans to take these didactic sessions to the center of attention to people with autism and does not rule out doing it with adults as well, because it never hurts to remind them that Safety are to be met.

 

José Luis knows how to deal with the boys very well and gets them to listen and get the message: “I lost friends in accidents and tell them that there must be zero accidents.”

 

 

These tips can prevent an accident when it rains

With the arrival of the first downpours, the number of accidents on the road increases and many of them could be avoided just by taking some care that allows a better reaction with the wet streets.

 

The same Traffic Police in safety vest confirms this situation and assures that it is normal, because of the confluence of the water of the first rains with the oil and fuel accumulated in the roads during the whole summer, that generate a “soap film” in the asphalt capable of provoking Skidding in both cars and motorcycles.

 

“They are shocks that we call without grace, the typical kisses between bumpers, as they are commonly known.

 

Unfortunately, most people refuse to use the reconcile option, which allows clearing the road much earlier. We ask you to use this alternative. In the first quarter of the year we attended 23,815 accidents, which means that we attended an accident every 5 minutes and a half, “said Mario Calderon in reflective jacket, director of the Transit Police.

 

But, to avoid these situations, the following tips can be taken into account, in order to reduce that number of accidents:

– Check that the air conditioning and the vehicle’s brushes are in good condition, to avoid fogging and lack of rain visibility.

– Check that all the lights work properly allows showing under rain and with little visibility what the front, rear and side vehicles are doing, whether it is braking or trying to change lanes.

 

Due to the rains, accidents are increasing.

– In the case of motorcyclists and cyclists, the theme of lights is also important, but they must also wear light reflective clothing and a light on, 24 hours a day, to become more visible.

– Caution when passing through manhole covers or the railway line, as these metals become slippery on contact with water, so do the famous “dead” or speed reducers, in the form of asphalt mounds or metallic.

– Keeping the distance instead of reducing it, compared to other vehicles is, then, a recommendation that is not too much.

– In wet road conditions, the vehicle takes longer to brake, it moves for more space before stopping, so that it is more than evident the need to reduce speed when it rains.
