Both are well informed about the clever effects and appropriate clothing for outdoor treningsøkter. De encourages people to get out, even though the couch deadlines.

Fresh air is bonus

People will also have clothes that make sure they stay dry and warm in training, says store manager Oliver Strandberg-Jensen Löplabbet in downtown Oslo. He has assisted in equipping the young runners with appropriate clothing and luminous effects of training in the autumn darkness. Reflective is smart

Headlamp and safety vest are both smart and necessary when training in the dark. Hats and gloves with reflective one also in most sports shops. Shell jackets are windproof front and back with reflective tape are practical to run.

Headlamps obtained from ca. 300 million and up to 5000 kroner. As orienteer is Ahlbäck dependent on a good and easy headlamp.

It rains a lot; it is practical with water-repellent jacket. Våtsokker of neoprene acts as a wetsuit and keeps your feet warm, even if one gets their feet wet. When temperatures drop, it’s smart with slightly warmer shoes.

Spikes under the shoes with reflective tape are an advantage when it freezes on the pavement. Benedict recommends a good muted winter shoes with spikes. It is also possible to insert studs during favorittløp shoes if it is thick enough sole.

Reflective vest – arrange to respect both day and night

Temperatures started dropping below freezing point and weathermen promise that he will be better. With time, we have a full fat autumn and with him ever shorter day and dark and dark evenings. We runners do nothing else than to accept the situation and change to the dark side of the Force – to start running in the dark. Whether we give our portion of kilometers in the morning before going to work or coming home from her evening, the dark queen of our favorite lines, because the darkness is probably unavoidable. Let’s test it one of the reflective safety vest to increase its passive safety!

When enclosures in this weather is no good to think well on your comfort level. It may not be exactly shrouded as Eskimos, but the T-shirt he also will not be right. A good portion of the thermal protection as well as excellent passive safety ensures a reflective vest in the decathlon.
Reflection eyes to merge

For cross-country vest that I was still wearing, this is no exaggeration best equipped in reflective material. Reflective surfaces found on the back, shoulders, armholes, at several points on the hips, abdomen and lesions on the cover fasteners. Runner becomes one huge, visible in the distance reflector.

The manufacturer guarantees a minimum visibility from a distance of 120 meters, in the range of 360 °. While according to some sources, the 120 meters was a personal vehicle enough to stop even a speed of 130 km / h on a wet road. Reflective material manufacturers certainly spared no expense, moreover, it used high-quality production from 3M.

Delight but also a selection of other materials and their processing. The entire back, with the exception of the uppermost parts reflexive implementation are led in meshové fabric. Decently mesh are also areas in the armpit. Which is not used or reflective mesh material, you’ll find a bright yellow polyester fabric. It adds to the visibility and safety as well as daylight.
Indeed for runners

In testing, I felt as if the man who designed this kind of reflective clothing, was himself a runner. He thought about everything. Vesta adequately ventilated while the right places to protect athletes from the wind. The back is nicely extended and more so protects some parts of the guard.

Pockets, mesh inside, are large enough to accommodate even the largest mobile phone, handkerchiefs or a handful of energy gels. The entrance is guarded them quality YKK zippers and cover extention. In addition the pockets are sewn so that it can also be used inside in which actually consists of two other pockets. Though not closing, but if necessary, represent an additional storage space.

Quality and sturdy zipper is also used to fasten the vest. Cover Legum form a mutually reflective material. In addition, placket at the upper end creates a so-called garage, so after you complete tensioning zip will not rub on the chin. The collar is worked into the collar. Protection from wind and nowhere neplandá nor avoids stiffness.
Good price

The reflective vest is available in four sizes: S, M, L and XL. My person short little over 170 cm size M fell like a glove. A very pleasant surprise was the price. Less than 650 crowns came to me for this piece more than folk. Basically for the same price I was on sale (!) Once he bought a reflective running vest from one world tinged manufacturer. Scanty reflective elements and bad treatment from her soon made a hated piece of equipment.

FACTS How to prevent road accidents at night

Reflective vest are essential for safety-whatever you are pedestrian, cyclist or motorist. Archive picture from a serious car accident at the City Hall Square in Copenhagen in 2010, when car hit random pedestrians.

With the transition to winter time is one hour earlier dark. And in the next weeks and months will be earlier and earlier dark. Therefore, here are three tips on how to ride safely in traffic when it is dark.

  1. Use reflectors

Are you the pedestrian, wear reflective clothing? Without reflex watching the drivers you are not on a dark road. As a pedestrian on a dark road has typically experience of being fully informed of the passing cars. But it does not mean that one is visible to the driver.

  1. Use high beams whenever possible without dazzling

With the high beam you see curves, turns and people or objects on the road much earlier than if you drive with daytime running lights. So use the high beam whenever you can without dazzling other drivers.

  1. Run the following conditions

In the dark you can in many places be obliged to reduce speed to below the speed limit, if you want to run securely and could reach to orient yourself properly. This applies to the narrow and winding roads or in bad weather. Although roads can seem deserted at night, so there is good reason to be vigilant – that may suddenly appear a pedestrian or another motorist up.

Further advice from the Road Safety Council: Reflexes, if you go: Reflective Brik (m. Cord): It should hang so that it is visible from all angles. Road Safety Council recommends that it hangs low – at the edge of the jacket – so it hangs freely, so the cars are easier to see it in terms of both height and movement.

If there are quite dark, recommend Road Safety Council to have a reflective piece hanging both front and rear.

Ideal to hang a reflective piece fixed to the child’s schoolbag, as the better fit and therefore last longer. It would also be appropriate to hang refleksbrikken fixed to the jacket pocket, so the child can snuggle reflex in your pocket when no longer outside.

If you walk in the dark on a road without sidewalks, recommend Road Safety Council to have a reflective vest, and then recommend the course to a pedestrian walking on the left side of the road – against the traffic.

Reflective Tape: If you do not have reflective tape on both arms and legs, recommend Road Safety Council that spans reflective tape stuck to the legs, where a motorist can very quickly spot them due to constant movement.

Reflexes, riding a bicycle: First, you must first and foremost comply with the rules applicable to the bicycle lamps. The rules require, among other things, that you must have lights that can be seen from 300 feet away. Police defined rules: – Headlights and taillights should be prominently displayed at least 300 meters and will also be visible from the side. – Headlights and rear lights must be mounted so the lights respectively straight forward and straight back – they must therefore not hang and light into the ground.

– Powerful headlamps designed to illuminate the road in front of the rider must be mounted with the light slanting downward and does not dazzle oncoming.

– New battery bicycle lights sold in Denmark should be bright enough to meet the statutory requirements for visibility at least 5 hours. The lamp or sales packaging must be marked “Operating time / Runtime” and an indication of how many hours; the battery can meet the requirement. This must also be stated in marketing material such as advertisements, brochures, online, etc.

Compared to reflectors recommend Road Safety Council that you use reflective tape on both legs when cycling.

If it rains, they recommend that you have a reflective safety vest on.

Additionally recommend Road Safety Council that dogs should have a reflective collar on.

 

 

Motorcyclist complaint fine for not wearing a reflective vest

The fact was denounced by social networks and Conaset through Twitter, he said that “the standard does not apply to motorcyclists”.

However, several objections that are made to the new standard, to have certain ambiguous aspects that leave entirely clear its demand. For example, the vest must carry in the passenger compartment of the car, but not required to use any road emergency.
The issue is that yesterday the first controversy over the requirement of this security element is generated when police demanded in a traffic bearing of reflective vest a motocilista, although the standard is not required for this type of vehicle, and the staff will even extended an offense under the slogan Radio Cooperativa website.
The complaint was carried out using the Facebook group Motocilistas.cl where Manuel Orellana posted a picture of a fine which extended police for not carrying a reflective vest when riding his motorcycle in the city of Temuco in the Araucanía Region .
Orellana image published shows that will appear before the First Court of Local Police Temuco next January 12 for “driving motorcycle wear reflective vest and not being audited.”
However, through his Twitter account, the National Traffic Safety Commission has repeatedly stressed that cannot be fining motorcyclists because this standard does not include motocislitas.

Motorists should replace the first-aid kit at the latest before departure expired items. The advises the German Medical Technology Association (BVMed). The packaging of the individual products such as wound dressings, sticking plasters may become brittle due to heat or cold.
If the date is exceeded, the manufacturer’s warranty for sterility no longer valid. In addition, could self-components lose adhesion. One should also check the completeness of the box, which must comply with 13164 the DIN standard.
Without “fresh” first aid kit threatens a cautionary five euros. Also at least one visibility reflective vest in accordance with DIN EN 471 or EN ISO 20471 have to have in the car.
Here we go! What, however, must necessarily know if you want to drive the European Football Championship
Nice, Marseille and Paris! What name, what cities! And right there and seven other stages takes place this year, the European Football Championship 2016th Since offers for German fans to a pretty French round trip. Of course, with your own car. But the French traffic regulations should be prepared
Ever since the attacks last November prevails in France a state of emergency. This also has an impact on the road, but especially on possible border controls. It may be necessary to accept longer waiting times therefore.
Rule violations are expensive
Many German motorists do not know: In France, in part much higher fines imposed than here! is particularly severely punished any distraction at the wheel. Given that around rummaging belongs in the glove compartment as well as the phone without a hands. Everything somehow interferes while driving is prohibited. And who can be caught at the “Abgelenktsein”, is up to 1,500 (!) Euros fine going.
Please all the same jersey

And in addition to a fine, in addition to expect that the police summarily confiscated such devices. And what few people with reflective tape know (partly not even the French themselves) is not only allowed but even required: Drivers must have their own breathalyzer on board. There, incidentally, the same blood alcohol limits apply as for us.

The handcuffs are tried

The children took the patrol car in fog – even when graduation photo. Photo: Rothfuß Photo: Schwarzwälder-Bote
Only kindergarteners may the: visit the police in reflective vest one afternoon, visit all the rooms and the prison and inspect the patrol car, including blue light and siren. And also the equipment, including handcuffs could be tried.

Who has wondered this week about the frequent police siren and unusual announcements at Städtle: It was the kindergarten children to the police. Over two days, two groups of Zehntscheuer were with 13 and 23 children in the police department.
Jürgen Hamann explained
Equipment
To be able to individual care for the excited children, police said the children into three groups. Police Chief Superintendent Jürgen Hammann pointed to the “guard” the children, all equipment of the police. were Explains flashlight, telescopic baton and safety vest. Particularly exciting was the hand clasp, and some children could also create them to know the feeling. They were then but just as happy if you took off the handcuffs uncomfortable again.
Still relatively new to the police Haiterbach is the “Amokausrüstung” which is doubly carried in patrol cars. It consists as an adjunct to protective vest made helmet, shoulder and neck protection to protect the entire torso including head in application.
The images of police helicopters, police squadron and water police provoked a lot of questions that were all answered patiently by Hammann and his colleagues.
Finally, we still showed the children the cell – or in children “Prison” (police expression: detention center). The spartan (just a wooden bed) made a great impression on the children and no one wished to be probably imprisoned there.
Anyone can sometimes get into the patrol car
The second station supervised police chief superintendent Manfred Balke. Outside the field was the yellow-blue-silver police car with the star and the canary yellow fluorescent reflective tape. Each had the honor to get in and out, and again heard howling in Haiterbach the siren and the LED blue lights blinked. then echoed from the speaker of the children with a “Hello Hello” or “This is the police” through large parts Haiterbachs.
Then yet shown how to talk to the police digital radio with other departments and police vehicles.
As a special memory of that day get all kindergartners next day a reminder sheet presented. This shows the police station with the patrol car. This makes it a very personal gift, the children of police chief commissioner Günter Rothfuß were in the interrogation room of the police station with a police cap (white or blue choice) photographed and feel for a moment like a real cop. Together with the fingerprints of the small “mice” and “bear” the photos were laminated. Climax and conclusion of the exciting visit is always the group portrait. The children is written on their faces, the joy. In police stations already adorns a goodly number of these images a wall.
For Haiterbacher policemen Jürgen Hammann, Manfred Balke and Günter Rothfuss, who again made a lot of effort with the children, it was a pleasant change by its own account.

Oman in monsoon: When the rainy tourists celebrate

Schietwetter celebrated euphorically in the south of Oman: From desert-like landscape is a jewel. In long columns to push the SUV into the hills Salalas – to a large rain Party.
When the monsoon rain starts, the vibrations in Wadi Darbat change. Then in the valley for a picnic gathered families have been waiting for – now it is so far: They get up, wearing reflective vest run around like scared to look with an open mouth in the clouded sky, express themselves howling under a tree to be followed in the middle of the green field full Enjoyment fully send rain to. A perfect vacation. At least for Arabs.
In Hamburg it would be a clear case of wet weather. Here in Oman, on the southern coast of the otherwise parched Arabian Peninsula, it feels like a miracle. Once a year, when the southwest monsoon from late June to early September, bounces on a mountain ridge near the town of Salalah, the region changes its colors. From endless sandy brown is green.
“Otherwise it’s all desert”, the Tourist Abas gets excited, spreads his arms and points with a half twist on the slopes of Wadi Darbat. “But now: everything green!”
Not far away turns Homam al-Jundi a chicken on the grill. His wife Hiba draped silverware and plates on the ceiling under a gnarled tree. Daughter Marwa fusses. The young family is actually from Syria, lives since the war but in the United Arab Emirates. “There we have too much sun. Every day we work in the sun,” says Al-Jundi.
That’s why they come here every year, in the 20 degree cool mountains Salalas in more than 1,000 meters, where are held a relentless sun dark clouds in the sky. Almost all other places of the Arabian Peninsula, it can bring loose in summer to 45 degrees – which is why most of the buildings and cars are air-conditioned.
Rain Tourism from Saudi Arabia
The thick SUV with reflective tape push yourself these days in long columns through the mountain gorges. Enter code from the Emirates, Saudi Arabia or even the Oman. In one of four-wheel vehicles Ahmed al-Mahri sitting. His family comes from the small coastal Sada east of Salalah.
Al-Mahri wearing a Massar – the traditional turban in Oman. During the monsoon, the Charifs, he drives the tourists up the mountains, showing them the greenest parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Many Saudis and Emiratis travel with their own bodies all the way in the rain, telling al-Mahri.
And every year more: 2015 there were in the season more than half a million people – 80,000 more than last year. 2010 was almost half. Most foreigners come from the Gulf, a few from Asia. Among Westerners of Südoman but virtually unknown – at least in the rainy season.
Therefore, al-Mahri surprised at the beginning about the passenger, who now sits next to him: “This is not the time for German,” said the young Omani when boarding. “It’s raining. And you might not rain.” The Europeans place really only in winter with their cruise behemoths on the coast of the Arabian Sea. And they usually disappear again before they have arrived correctly.
Here, the Oman is also recommended for longer stays. The country is safe, unlike many other countries in the region, which is brought in the West almost exclusively with crises, wars and conflicts in connection. As a neighbor of Civil War country Yemen in which terrorist groups are active, the Oman so far been spared from violence. It is a quite tranquil country.
Oman has blossomed into a skillful mediator in international conflicts, but remained always in the background. And the Omanis are happy, calm and – to live in prosperity – for their oil. Omanis prefer to drive in third gear comfortably, as in the fifth the accelerator durchzutreten.
As relevant to the development in the past decades, the quality of life in Oman, the citizens their absolutist and yet beloved ruler: Sultan Kabus took over the country in 1970 when it had just ten kilometers paved road. Today the modern Oman is unrecognizable. And yet it has its tradition not forget.
Wedding in the rain
The city Salalah has evolved since childhood by Ahmed al-Mahri although steadily, but wisely. The young man still remembers it, when he was able to experience the Charif in the mountains for the first time. His parents owned camels. 30 animals, he says. During the rainy season they were driven into the green hills to save feed.
One day – Ahmed was twelve – his father said to him that he ought to. At 5 am we went. “I could not sleep because I was so happy to go,” said al-Mahri, as he stands on a green hill and faces in a misty valley. The father of the mountain guide is now long dead his family -. Two sisters, a brother and his mother – lives with him in Salalah. Also it is an example of the development of this country. Al-Mahris mother can neither read nor write – his sisters studying business and computer science.
The Charif is in the area around Salalah determining the time of year. While couples lookouts in Central Europe one day in the summer and make three crosses if it remains dry at her wedding, Omanis embarrassed the Freudenfest preferably in the slushy months.
Many homeowners enjoy the rain Hype: For the interest of potential international guests there are not enough high-class hotels. Therefore, the citizens Salalas make their stay available. It is worth saying al-Mahri. Locals and tourists meet in the season every night on a large square in Salalah. There lures during wet days the Karif Festival with Carnival amusements, falafel and dance routines.
Garbage problem in Wadi
Well stocked Wadi Darbat now frolicking dozens canoes, pedal boats and motor boats, while the water level is just a few hundred meters long in the valley. A car tire is not far away in the shallow soup, next to plastic bottles and other garbage. The holiday paradise is threatened by waste.
“We have a real problem with the Wadi Darbat” said Lamis Bent Abdull Ghafur while she pulls a safety vest over his shoulders. The young woman is one of the leaders of a charitable initiative in the region. With donations they distribute food to the poor otherwise, told Ghafur. Today, however, she and her people here to collect garbage. People have sent and complained that the beautiful lush green vermülle them photos Liegengelassenem. Ghafur and its people pull over gloves and familiarize themselves with garbage bags to work. but alone can not protect the helpers Salalas natural heritage.
Many of the tourists had a throwaway mentality – but unfortunately no cleanup culture. You would have to change their attitude towards the environment, says Ghafur. Whether that works? “Inshallah,” says the young woman. “God willing”. In a few weeks the Wadi Darbat will be brown again. The car tires in the water will hibernate and will remain until the next monsoon, the colors of the landscape is transformed again – and the rain vacationers freak out again.

 

License freshmen and abroad

Villach – Living in Villach has many advantages, one of which is definitely the short distance to the popular holiday countries Italy and Slovenia. This year thousands of Villach and Villach’s will take up their vacation in one of our neighboring countries as well as to Croatia. But be careful! As license novice is to pay attention to much.
Now before the summer months make many young people wearing reflective vest still fast driving test in order in the summer to be somewhat independent from their parents. Then it is also often on the first holiday without family. But especially when it comes to a holiday abroad, be aware of license newcomers lot! We asked ÖAMTC.
Driver’s license is not the same license
The most important for L17-license-Neulige is that they may not be traveling by car abroad until the age of 18 years (18th birthday).
Only Germany, Denmark, Great Britain and Northern Ireland permit “L-17 journeys”!
So it looks with the regulations in the popular holiday countries
Germany
Here applies to handlebar under the age of 21 years total ban on alcohol. This also applies to tourists!
In addition to bandages and warning triangle here is the carrying of at least one safety vest duty.
Italy
License experience freshmen class B only allowed to drive at 90 km / h in the first 3 years after issuance on highways only at 100 km / h and on highways. Again, at this time there is a complete ban on alcohol.
Here are just a warning triangle with reflective tape must be carried. If you stopped without safety vest in the car, it has no consequences if you then in case of breakdown gets off without warning vest, you have to expect a penalty.
Croatia
Here handlebar must keep them under 24 years of reduced speed limits – 80 km / h on highways, 100 km / h on expressways and 120 km / h on motorways.
Although this scheme normally applies only to Croatian citizens, it is recommended to comply with these in order to save yourself unnecessary trouble.
Motorway vehicles which may be driven in Croatia of license newcomers (to 24 years) have not more than 75 kW / 102 hp. The same rule applies to wheeled vehicles with more 25 kW / 34 PS.
And again total ban on alcohol!
Here are bandages, spare bulbs kit and warning triangle obligatory carry. Safety vest must even be present for each occupant. In addition, a fire extinguisher with the car must be.
Spain
Drivers who have less than two years of driving experience must observe a 0.3 alcohol limit.
Not carry are bandages and replacement lamps set, however, the safety vests Griffbereit must be stored and a spare tire must be located in the vehicle.
France
Who owns the license less than three years, must be in France on a holding 0.2 alcohol limit. Moreover apply for these novice drivers reduced speed limits: 80 km / h on highways, 100 km / h on expressways and 110 km / h on motorways.
It is recommended carry a first aid kit, spare bulbs kit and warning triangle are compulsorily alongside safety vests for all occupants. Also an alcohol test should be carried, but a non-carry is unpunished.
If these rules are observed, we are left with more to say one thing:
Have a good trip and happy holidays!
