Increase your child’s safety with reflective vest

A few gelds may be enough to save a pedestrian’s life. Reflective elements, such as vests or bands, make walking more visible than normal. Autumn is a time when it is darker, it is wet, slippery, and the streets are often misty. Visibility on roads drastically drops. Our educational action is “Safe Road to School”.

 

“One of the simplest ways to increase the safety of our children on the roads is to equip them with reflective elements,” says Gregory from PZU, our partner.

And explains why: – Even the best driver will not react at a stretch of 20 meters. And from this distance we are visible going down in the dark without glare. Reflective elements extend this distance to 150-300 meters. Let’s give drivers time to react – he explains.

 

Already today the traffic law says that children up to 15 years of age who move after dark in an undeveloped area where there is no sidewalk must be dressed in a reflective safety vest. – When they walk alone, we write a note to the court. When they are under the care of their parents, they generally end up explaining why the glare is so important, “says the cop.

 

But from the beginning of next year this rule will already apply to all pedestrians, regardless of age. Plans are high – up to three thousand. zł. For the time being, the police are trying to educate, distribute in schools and at various reflective meetings. The insurer gives schools money to buy glare, but also distributes such items on events such as the “Safe Zone.” – Even if it was to save a life of one.

 

Where to buy reflective elements

Reflective bracelets will be bought for a few zlotys (even for 2 zł). Reflective vests are a bit more expensive, but we can find them for as much as five zlotys.

Reflective items can be purchased both in traditional stores and over the internet. Allegro offers a lot of things that improve our security. There are also special online stores that sell a wide range of reflective items – reflective hats, headscarves, pendants, labels and bags. Thanks to the colors and the prints they will surely appeal to the little ones. We will find them on sites like

 

If we prefer traditional shopping, we will be reflecting in larger hypermarkets, but also in bicycles, motorbike shops, IKEA, and even some petrol stations (we should also have basic reflective vest).

Reflective element is first discovered by a manager

Rudy Sabah, a micro-enterprise manager in Monteria, has created self-

Rudy Sabah, a micro-enterprise manager in Monteria, has created self-reflecting self-adhesive stickers! He explains the concept.

Rudy Sabah, after obtaining a BTS of visual communication at the Ecolab Brassard in Tours, began his career as a graphic designer in Paris. He remained there four years before moving to Vitter in Ill-et-Villain where he worked as an industrial designer for 10 years.

I was sensitized to the problem of visibility especially that of children, as soon as night falls. How to make them accept to wear a safety device? The idea came to create an accessory customization, playful, design, self-reflective, washable and repositionable multiple times on any smooth surface (clothing, shoes, schoolbags, smart phones, etc.) and even on the skin since The products used are hypoallergenic.

Rudy has therefore devised self-reflecting stickers in self-reflecting fabric enriched with glass beads, coated on the back with a special gel that allows them to be removed and put back at will.

Customers can choose their model from existing collections or have their own decor and their colors, including four-color process. This accessory is useful for pedestrians of course but also for two-wheelers and possibly for animals.

Rudy has set up his micro-business in Monteria where he now resides since July 2015 and has started to identify potential customers. “I contacted first the Road Prevention, the county council, the territorial collectivities, safety vest and so on. Who have shown their interest in this process, which can help make schools more secure.

Initially, I targeted companies and public players. I would also like to contact shops because other uses are possible: for example these stickers can be used as fashion accessories. They are also intended to be collected, exchanged, etc.! He explains the concept.

It does not matter to wear a safety vest, helmet

269 ​​cyclists rode with mounted equipment which measure the distance from a corner. Some of them drove in everyday clothes, while others have used the costumes typical bicycle, others wore helmet or safety vest. The experimental results can be shocking – only one item of clothing actually improves the safety of the cyclist (or more precisely – no matter what the distance from the car ahead of us). This vest was printed with the word “police.”

 

The measurements made by the Universities of Bath Brunnel and the average distance between the cyclist and the car ahead of it were 117 cm – regardless of what was dressed cyclist. Also, regardless of dress, 1-2 percent of drivers ahead of cyclists not maintaining a safe distance and passing only 50cm from them.

 

This is another study showing that vest, reflectors and other special clothing may enhance well-being bicyclist and drivers and allowing to be more visible ( although there are doubts ), but in no way translates to a safer distance between the car and the cyclist at overtaking, or at least minimal improvement in the safety of the rider.

 

If you want to increase your visibility and safety, the researchers suggest dressing up in vests with “police” (actually “police” because the study was done in the UK). These actually have a positive effect on the behavior of drivers. The study showed that the police vest garment with reflective tape increases the mean distance between the bicycle and the car ahead of it to 122cm, or about 5 cm.

 

Unfortunately, the use of vests with the inscription of civilians by police in Poland is against the law. On the websites you can find for it vests with the inscription “Poland”, “Police” or “I’m with the Police” ( “I am” written in very small font), which from a distance effectively imitate the reflective vest used by our brave uniformed .

 

Regardless of how we dress on the bike, it is worth remembering that the dress code is much more important how we behave on the road.

The yellow safety vest soon extended to 2 wheels!

From 1 January 2016, the retro-reflective safety vest or high visibility becomes mandatory for motorcycles and scooters.

 

From the 1 January 2016, the yellow vest is mandatory for motor vehicles 2 and 3 wheel and 4 wheel without bodywork, as well as for motorists. The Government has finally settled after the weather vane on the subject for years!

 

Indeed, wearing the vest retro reflective security should be mandatory early 2013 by all drivers or passengers of a motorcycle, with an engine capacity of 125 cm3 or a vehicle of category L5e a higher power 15 kW. Repealed upon entry into force in favor of a recommendation of wearing the vest, the Committee for Road Safety decided to walk back.

 

A decree and an order just to extend the obligations of detention and wearing a high visibility vest by drivers of these vehicles (1).

Wrong reflector sewed problems with the safety vest

False start for the largest protective action that has ever existed in Germany: ADAC wanted to distribute nationwide 750 000. Safety vests to first graders at the beginning of this school year. In city and district court is probably not to think of a distribution before November.

During this and the next week the ADAC safety vests should be passed in the primary schools in the city and in the district court. But it is – for now – nothing. Klaus has all handover scheduled appointments in the Hofer primary schools – and already canceled again.

He said it is nothing else left, chairman of ADAC automobile club Hof said yesterday. Although the free ADAC safety vests already subject before in some schools, such as in primary school. But now you practically spend pro forma, in order afterwards to gather again and to the factory for repair, would be grotesque.

New handover dates not yet facts are clear. The city of Hof, consoles himself was, however, not affected alone. Nationwide to the west are distributed to 16,000 primary and special schools, he knows.

What exactly happened? The Franken post asked while referring to Nuremberg. Hildebrandt, traffic expert at the ADAC Northern Bavaria, says first: “Actually, nothing serious to the West.” However: “A reflective tape does not comply with the European standard on the nameplate.” Therefore, now run a large product recall, finally, many west had already been delivered to the schools. The official handover should take place within a week of action.

He regretted that the issue of security in the West City and County Court now delaying, on the other hand wants the ADAC let the reflective strips to the West but only sew new. “Move the handover dates only,” he promised. The revised with prescribed reflective strips safety vests to be sent to the schools again between 15 October and 9 November.

Trigger for the delay has been, according to Hildebrandt a voluntary, additional quality testing of the West after their arrival in Germany. One of the reflector strips did not meet the high requirements of the European standard in all respects. For everything else, he refers to the homepage.

“The Protectors indeed serve an important protective function, the partners of the action… But want to achieve the best possible safety standards. Schools that have received safety vests are asked not to this issue. The already delivered West will be picked up by the DHL again” is to be read here.

The reflective vests were produced under the direction of CWS, clothing supplier of the ADAC road patrol in China. To ensure the quality of the West, CWS had early taken extensive precautions to certify the west and prompted a quality assurance and on-site inspection.

“The West existed here numerous tests and the final full test,” it says in the statement on the website. They were made of absolutely contaminant-free and durable material, and be free of advertising.

I know, we all learned it in school, “he boasted their knowledge Kate little, who had come in third grade.

“Zebra event for you look back, we organize every year in early September, when children go after the holidays for the first time in school. After a long sabbatical are still wide and do not give such careful as ever. That is why this preventive safety action at this time is very important, “said police spokesman Paul with safety vest.

“Children rules of safe behavior at crossings in the vast majority know and abide by them. Some adults, however, they, unfortunately, do not go good example. And now we are experiencing how a grown man defected outside the transition between passing vehicles, “she said spokesman Paul.

Instructions for completing a friendly accident report

Surely you’re not prepared to properly complete an Accident Amitoses (DAA) Declaration, also known as “part”. It’s like losing virginity, one is never quite ready until it is in a position, involved in an accident, and then the nerves and anger can cloud our judgment. Keep in mind our tips and you go out there to Mad Max. Cater:

  1. After a first recognition of the damage, breathe deeply and keep calm: this is just an accident. There are far worse things (think about how you feel Murakami whenever the Nobel Prize fails). Wearing your safety vest and park the car in a secluded place and safely. First, and without getting nervous, open the glove compartment. The right hand is the one that is closest to it, but maybe has received has been directly injured or amputated in the accident: then use the left. Usually that which is in the background, crumpled between cleaning wipes parched, scratched CDs two lighters and a kit suede and polishing the spray drier than the Atacama desert dashboard. There should also be a pen that does not paint, so if you cannot find it, do not give importance. If you are someone who wears gloves in the glove, you’re probably driving a steam locomotive (these had a compartment named to deposit gloves manipulated the boiler). If you’ve been involved in an accident with a steam engine you have a problem other and this article is not going to help anything. If you just also lose his left hand in the crash, you have the opportunity to develop skills in manipulation with a stick in the mouth, although the state of calm seems to us more inaccessible.
  2. Remove the reflective vest and wear it. If you lost your arms, you’ll have difficult to do, but much hold it in place. A common problem, be positive! Think of a little trick of mindfulness of those who comment on the books of VIPS. In addition, vests are outmoded.
  3. You’re a guy GQ, and believe that only one runner accept being seen in public dress. “It’s a color to run,” while mentally think you evaluate yourself a chance to give Esperanza Aguirre and fled.
  4. Exit the car and retains the aplomb. Try to be original when icebreaker. Nothing to shout like a madman: “Are you blind or what?” He uses irony. He mentions that you would like your collection of books in Braille. If Eczema is involved in the accident (there is a high probability), jokes about the excellent goal scoring statistics Hagan this season.
  5. Shake the form to make it clear that you are in peace. You have to fill one hand, not two. Each affected correspond a copy, which is indifferent. Date, time and location should not be problematic. There is a color (blue or yellow) for each vehicle. Fill in all matters relating to your personal data, the vehicle and the insurer. Below you will find a scheme to establish the initial point of impact:

Honestly, if we are allowed a small observation, it seems somewhat modest about travel arrangements. It should cover more consistent lifestyle GQ vehicles, such as:

  1. Detailed in the main body of the printed circumstances of the accident, trying to fill as many boxes as possible. They help determine guilt and the extent of damage. Take time to read and tick the boxes properly. If you find the box allocation to the Catholic Church or activities of social interest, it is that you were wrong printed. Start again and put more attention.
  2. Look witnesses around. They can be of much use if they declare in your favor. Offer them a protection plan; promise them a new identity, monthly income, escort and a house in Illinois. If Bozeman is involved, much more right! (It is also a cumbersome and miserly way to get girls with phones).
  3. Appreciable damage to the vehicle with reflective tape and observations. A good opportunity to inform the insurance scratches and dents all of those who spent part so you do not go up the premium.
  4. Comes the fun part, with the sketch. Which can bring out all your artistic talents? Try to draw a picture that reproduces what happened, with arrows indicating the direction of vehicles:

In principle need not strive, a level Ecce homo Bora may suffice, but for a man GQ believe that we must raise the artistic tone, take the stand, take the rest and spare no dramatics and verisimilitude, such as:

For bribing a witness in the case were run over cop threatens men four years

Police suggested indicting either man whom they accused of influencing a witness in the case novo driver Josef Novak. He got 16.5 years in prison for killing a policewoman in Koestler and Labem on Maluku. The man offered 30,000 crowns the witness if he in court to argue that a police officer does not wear a reflective safety vest. Novak accused defended himself by policewoman was not seen as not wearing a vest. Witness everything immediately announced to the police and in court Novak version confirmed.

Driving under the influence of methamphetamine

“In late September, the entire file documents forwarded to the District Prosecutor’s Office in Prague 8 with a proposal to draw up an indictment,” said Ova.

The case became on May 2 last year, when she wanted to stop the driver of the patrol department in Brandies and Labem. Driver under the influence of methamphetamine police responded to the challenge and began to pull away.

Near the village Sibyl Novak hit a cop who moved around a barricade of police cars. Woman injuries died in hospital. Courts Novak sent to prison for the murder of an official, banned him for nine years to drive the car with reflective tape and ordered the payment of reparations to survivors of nearly nine million.

The case might have continued. The applicants do after the final judgment is delivered stated that it would consider whether to impeach some of the witnesses of perjury. It proved the fact that falsely testified in favor of Novak.
