Monday, October 23, 2017, in Lemieux, insurers and police distributed safety kits, including a yellow safety vest, to prevent pedestrians and cyclists, more vulnerable to winter time.
On Monday, October 23, 2017, police and insurance agents settled in Place, from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm, to distribute safety kits to pedestrians and cyclists in Lemieux. “Our goal is to make prevention with the most exposed users,” says Karina, mutual insurer of Poitiers. Inside the kit: a yellow vest, a reflective bracelet, and a prevention plate. All bag with a reflective band.
This distribution takes place this week because “every year, in the weeks following the transition to winter time, accidents increase by 40% for pedestrians”. In fact, the night arrives earlier and makes pedestrians and cyclists less visible. The National Federation of General Insurance Agents Associations and France Bleu distribute 10,000 kits and reflective vest in “the prefectures and sub-prefectures of France”.
