The leader almost entered the children on the safety belts

The moment the preschooler introduced the pupils to the pedestrian crossing, a Volkswagen Golf car entered the safety belts. The 68-year-old driver did not stop and did not give way. She drove her car very close to kindergarten children who were stopped by the babysitter. The police arrested the woman’s driving license. For causing a danger on the lanes, he will answer the court.

 

Moments of horror at a pedestrian crossing

A group of preschoolers with babysitters approached the pedestrian crossing. The children were holding hands and wearing reflective vests.

When preschoolers were almost in the middle of the road, VW Golf passed through the belts. The driver did not stop and gave way to pedestrians.

 

The local police officers almost immediately received a recording from the scene of the incident. The duty officer gave the patrols a command to find the vehicle.

 

The police were looking for the perpetrator only a few minutes

After a dozen or so minutes, one of the partial reported to the officer on duty that he stopped the vehicle resembling the one on the film. As it turned out, a 68-year-old resident of the Bolesławiec poviat managed Volkswagen. The woman confirmed that she was the one who directed the car visible on the recording.

 

The police in safety vest received the driver’s license. The officers also made an application to the court to punish the 68-year-old.

Police officers distributed vests and reflectors to cyclists

Motorcycle Club, along with officers from the local police headquarters, carried out an action on the safety of cyclists under the slogan “Stay safe on the road” at the city marketplace.

 

Within it, cyclists received safety vests and reflective elements – informs Ursula, a representative of the police.

 

The uniforms warned that the autumn period, and consequently the early dusk, rainfall and thick fog caused the safety of vulnerable road users to be at risk. Lack of proper lighting of the bicycle and reflective tapes causes that both cyclists and the drivers do often not see pedestrians. This is particularly true outside the built-up area.

 

A spokesperson of the Communist party reminds that according to traffic regulations, pedestrians on the road after dusk outside the built-up area should be equipped with reflective material. Their absence exposes them not only to the penalty, but also to the danger of losing health and life.

What is worth to keep in the car for his safety

What should be in the car varies from country to country. What are the Polish recipes? We systematize knowledge and suggest what else is worth having in your car for comfort and safety, like the safety equipments or triangles.

 

What must be in the car?

In accordance with the provisions of Polish law, a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle must be present in the car. It is worth noting that the extinguisher must be in an easily accessible place, so it should not be in the trunk, but rather, under the driver’s seat. For lack of easy access to a fire extinguisher, we are threatened with a fine. The extinguisher should be inspected at least once a year and its weight must not be less than 1 kg. In addition to the fire extinguisher, a warning triangle with a valid approval mark should be placed in the car. The triangle must also be marked with the vehicle during towing. The lack of these two basic appliances may result in a mandate or a negative result of a technical review.

 

Is a first aid kit obligatory?

In Poland, there is no obligation to have a first aid kit in a car, but there is already a duty to help an accident or injured person. Therefore, a first aid kit and safety vest should be in every car, regardless of the requirements of the legislator. According to the Act, however, in some cases, a first-aid kit is an obligatory element of equipment, and this applies to buses, taxis, trucks transporting people and driving vehicles. When choosing a first aid kit, you should consult a pharmacist, because the cheapest models do not always have the right amount of medicine.

 

What else is useful in the car?

Very useful equipment can be a reflective vest. It is small, and will make more visible to other drivers in the event of a fault or stopping on the road. In the car, it is also worth having a simple set of tools, thanks to which we will repair minor defects that may happen on the road or make it easier for us to change the wheel. Being aware of having a CB radio or video projector can also have a positive effect on our driving comfort.

How many emergency safety vests do you have to carry in the car

How many reflective vests do I have to carry in the car? Although we usually carry one, or two, it is convenient to know how many we are going to travel, to carry the corresponding emergency vests.

 

We can ask ourselves how many emergency vests we have to carry in the car, especially when we travel with the whole family, because surely, as usual, we travel alone in the car. On a day-to-day basis, when traveling to work or shopping, only one person usually occupies cars. Therefore, in case of breakdown or emergency, a single reflective vest helps us get out of the car.

 

We all left the car, what do we do?

If the car has broken down on an interurban road, we should try to stop outside the road, on the right side and leaving the side of the shoulder free. If we get out of the car, all the individuals who leave must wear the emergency safety vest.

 

In this way, if we have a car that can fit 5 passengers or, for example, a minivan in which 7 fit … we will need 7 emergency vests, if the 7 passengers are going to get off if necessary. That is, without a vest it is forbidden to get out of the car … so we must take the number of vests needed for the occupants.

 

In case of emergency or a breakdown of a vehicle, the drivers will conveniently signal the vehicle, turning on the emergency lights and, where appropriate, for example, between sunset and sunrise the parking lights.

 

When leaving the car, we place the reflective triangles

In the same way, we will have to place the danger signaling devices – the popular triangles – unless the traffic conditions do not allow it. 1 triangle will be placed behind and 1 ahead, at a distance of 50 meters -respectively- from the damaged vehicle and visible from 100 meters. By the way, in one-way roads, or more than three lanes, a single triangle at 50 meters, and visible from 100, located behind the vehicle will suffice.

They will wear bulletproof safety vest transit elements

After the murder of a Transit agent who died after a subject fired guns, the director of the corporation Ariel announced that the elements would wear a bulletproof safety vest. “That measure if we are going to take it because crime does not respect anyone absolutely does not matter to him to kill a child a lady does not have principles and values.”

 

In addition, probably, he added, the road agents in reflective vest will have the support of the State Police in the various operations that the Traffic Department carries out throughout the city. Despite the risk run by those responsible for the road, the municipal government official ruled out arming the elements. “Discarded, in no part of the world transits are armed; its function is not that.”

 

The Municipal Traffic Director in safety clothing said that the murder of agent Victoria Elizabeth has dismayed the entire corporation and although it is a sad event, “life goes on and we have to continue working.” He described the murder as “a cowardly act of human garbage that does not respect the principles that should govern a society.

Public bicycles and safety equipments for conurbation

In what has slowly become expected news both for the very novelty of the initiative and for the enormous social benefit that could bring, the SECPLAC, Raimondi Agility confirmed the municipality’s intention to close a contract with the Mobike Company, same company that initiated the program of public bicycles in the communes of La Reina and Las Condos. In addition, they equip the reflective safety accessories.

 

On this point, the architect affirmed, “Our goal within 2018 is, within the consolidation of this cycle path network, just the arrival of public bicycles. We start in this stage with solid and institutional bicycles and what we have left for next semester is to have a public service for Machala and Rancagua. ”

 

On the progress of this idea, the urbanism confessed that. “We have been exploring this idea for a long time but the experiences in Chile did not convince us to incorporate it in Rancagua but we patiently wait for the advance of new technologies for November 2017 to meet with representatives of the Mobike system. In addition, we wear the safety vest and working to move forward and see how to implement as soon as possible in the conurbation. We have everything we need, there are the desire and the vandalism issues that have been seen in Santiago will be seen in quite minor scales and we can do a joint work with social organizations; we hope that Mobike dares to leave Santiago and of course we would be proud to be the first commune and region nationwide”.

Mobile on the bike is prohibited for road safety

The use of social media on the bicycle is banned; it is dangerous if you use the phone on the bicycle even you wear the safety vest. Traffic minister Schultz van Hagen is working on a law to ban the mobile phone during the ride, she announces today. It is now just allowed to call in your hand while cycling or to read and send applets. However, drivers must continue to pay attention to traffic and may not cause dangerous situations. This is a difficult task for young cyclists in particular.

 

In 20 percent of the accidents with cyclists aged 12 to 24 years, the mobile phone seems to have played a role. In several countries, telephone use on the bicycle is therefore prohibited. At the end of May Minister Schultz also announced an investigation here, after a conversation with the father of a young victim. In recent years, attempts have been made to mainly influence the behavior of young people, for example through lessons at schools and prizes that youngsters could win if they temporarily did not use their mobile while cycling and wear a reflective vest. It all appeared to have insufficient effect on the target group.

 

Operate

Expert state is mainly the operation of a ‘touch screen’ during cycling that is the greatest risk. According to the minister, this means that it should not only prohibit the retention of the mobile phone, but also prevent it from operating in a holder on the steering wheel. Only next year will be clear when the ban can take effect and how high the fine will be. In the coming period, studies will be conducted into the consequences of social media use on the bicycle. The government wants to use this information to support a legal ban. Schultz: “Of course, a prohibition has the great advantage that it sets a clear standard.”

 

Traffic injured

Today, it also emerged that the number of serious road injuries in 2015 came to some 21,300 people. That is an increase of about 3 percent compared to a year earlier (20,700). Since 2007, there has been an increase in the number of serious road injuries.

 

The majority of the victims, especially cyclists and the elderly are at risk, falling on municipal and provincial roads. The minister gives that concern. “Road managers have to tackle problems on the basis of good analysis and ensure that road safety is improved.” According to Schultz, the figures show that intervention is urgently needed. “An increase in the number of road fatalities and injuries has to be broken.” That is why it is almost making a new strategic plan for road safety towards the year 2030, which should already be ready in 2018.

Christmas event and walk with in reflective clothing

As part of the Warmest Week, you can set off for the ‘Warmest Evening Walk’ in Loksbergen on Friday 22 December. They will hand out the safety vest and the proceeds go to the Martine Van Camp.

 

‘The hottest evening walk Loksbergen hollow paths’ is the initiative of some walking friends, united in ‘Wanderlust Loksbergen’.

Use of a reflective vest on motorcycles at night

In Medellin, it is no longer mandatory to use the reflective vest on motorcycles throughout the day. However, what is missing is going to do to avoid road accidents and safety problems.

 

That is part of the reflection made yesterday by the mayor of Medellin, Alonso Salazar Jaramillo. After accepting the resolution of the Ministry, that requires the use of this garment to motorcyclists only between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

 

Although the resolution of the Ministry occurred several weeks ago, only until yesterday, the Mayor decided to apply it in the city. The situation had generated discomfort among several motorcyclists who felt violated by sanctions from the Traffic Department for not wearing the vest during daylight hours.

 

“I am tired of being told at the roadblocks that the use of the safety vest for the motorcyclist is mandatory because the Mayor has not yet given permission to remove it,” Juan Guillermo, the typing agent, said recently. However, for Mayor Salazar Jaramillo, although motorcycle drivers who do not wear their vests on the day will no longer be punished, “I call on them to continue using the garment voluntarily as a contribution to safety.”

 

Salazar Jaramillo recalled that unfortunately bikes are often used to commit criminal acts and the vest helps the authorities identify the vehicle from which the crime would be committed. In addition, he said that wearing the vest on the day “is a bet of the motorcyclists to the citizen culture that not only the Administration appreciates but the citizenship in general”.

 

For Save lives

Unfortunately, it is that motorcyclists are the ones of who contribute most of the dead and injured in road accidents. Not in vain, according to data from the Municipal Traffic Secretariat, in the city have been sanctioned 77,080 motorcyclists who committed traffic infractions.

 

One of the biggest causes of accidents, drunkenness, leads the fines with 919 motorcyclists without wearing high visibility vest sanctioned so far this year. It is followed by traffic on the road with 582 submissions and overcrowding with 414 sanctioned motorcyclists. The Mayor said that thanks to road campaigns, in the city have decreased by 12 percent deaths in road accidents or 21 fewer people so far this year.

 

 

Clothing for poor visibility in autumn and winter

Market: With the product line Magic Vision, the French traditional manufacturer would like to appeal to those who do not allow themselves to be stopped by cool temperatures and short days of cycling during the autumn and winter months. Special attention was paid to the developers for good visibility by reflective material – not just at night but also during the treacherous hours of dawn.

 

For all those who regularly ride the bike during the autumn and winter, the bad weather conditions are also a big challenge. Whether on the way to the office or during a winter training session: the days are short and the chance to sit on the bike even after dark is correspondingly high. In order to be easily visible in road traffic and to prevent possible accidents, the right clothing is the right choice. Reflective vests are now found on a large part of the bike wear, but the French manufacturer Magic goes one step further with its vision collection.

 

For bicyclists, these two times 30-45 minutes per day are also so dangerous, since conventional reflectors barely develop their effect and lose their appearance in the dim light. At Magic, therefore, one has thought about it and equips the entire vision product line – from the waistcoat to the helmet – with two different reflector materials. In addition to the already known silver / white surfaces, the Magic yellow reflective elements are supposed to improve visibility during twilight.

 

The new collection, as used by Magic, focuses primarily on sportive riders: endurance, body-concave cut and good vapor permeability are just two consequences of sporting orientation. The vision of the H2O Vest is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the Vision products: this waterproof safety vest is a faithful companion in the dingy weather and when the training ride reaches again into the evening hours.
