Reflective safety vest for pedestrians mandatory since the last day of August

Safety vest must wear pedestrians who walk after dark outside built-up. Since September glare for pedestrians will be mandatory.

The tragedy was lacking a little. Ms. Alicia Lodz rode with her husband to leave the country. It was dark; the road was winding and narrow. We drove Beetle; the car had no lights superstring. It was a communal way of access to the village. There was no lighthouse – says Diana. – I was tired, but we were almost at the end. Suddenly some 30 meters in front of him, I saw a group of people. They walked down the road, had no glare, they were all dressed in black. I have not had a chance to see them before. The road was winding, and I saw these people only when I went behind the next turn.

Fortunately, Mrs. Alice managed to brake. – They’re too scared, some fled to the side of the road. Such a situation would not be if these people were more visible. Therefore it is very good that the rules will change and everyone – both children and adults – will have to wear reflective vest – says Ms Alice. The new regulations enter into force on 31 August. With the new school year every pedestrian who is walking after dark outside built-up areas must wear reflective elements. – Reflectors must be prominently displayed on clothing – emphasizes the younger aspirant madder Baraka department traffic the Municipal Police Headquarters in Lodz. – Everyone, regardless of age, will be required to wear them. So far, reflective elements had to wear only children under 15 years of age. The new regulations are intended to improve pedestrian safety on the roads.

Reflective elements, in many cases, save lives. – The exception, when you do not have to wear glare, there are places outside built-up areas where there is pedestrian road or pavement – marks younger aspirant Borski.

Way to school. How to ensure the safety of the child

End holidays, and this means that from September 1, at pedestrian with safety vest crossings will be more children. They are particularly vulnerable – distracted and inattentive may not notice the approaching car. Therefore, drivers should exercise extreme caution, especially around schools.

Pedestrian crossings are by definition places that allow pedestrians safe passage to the other side of the street. Therefore usually we meet them in built-up areas, at places such as schools, offices, hospitals and shops. – The driver must absolutely stop before entering the crosswalk, if he sees approaching the belts person. Many drivers do not yet have such a habit, so a pedestrian crossing the road should also observe whether not come under the speeding wheels of the car – says Zbgniew Wesel, director of the School of Safe Driving Renault.

The child to be safer as a participant with reflective tape of the road, parents should teach them how to properly cross the road. Most children learn from their parents, so it’s important that the parent was a child model, created the appropriate behavior patterns and it consistently inculcated at every opportunity. It is no different from teaching proper crossing the road. Your child should explain the basic rules of behavior on the belts. – First of all, before moving should stop, look around, look first to the left, then right and left again when the vehicle is coming, go on the road stride, but never run up – advice the coaches Safe Driving School Renault.

Visibility on the road

Child safety also depends on whether it will be properly reflected on the road, especially in autumn, when the days are getting shorter and faster nightfall. – To our child was safe, just attaching evens a small reflective element to a backpack or jacket sleeve. It also dresses them up in coats in bright colors, so that the driver will notice earlier child. Especially in cloudy weather or at dusk – an expert advises.

“Tenderhearted on the road also” encourages priest for summer holidays

With the start of the summer holidays in Europe, the number of accidents is triggered. Over the past year nearly two thousand people died in accident in Spain, four were pedestrians without safety vest.

Aware of the serious problem of road safety is in society, the Spanish Episcopal Conference has a service of Ministry of Road not only to raise awareness of the danger, but also to bring the Word of God to those who spend much of their lives upon four wheels.

The priest Father Joseph would is responsible for the Pastoral Care of the Road in Spain: pioneer pastoral service in the world, born more than 50 years ago when a priest was helped by a truck driver on Christmas Eve 1962.

“A priest had to go from one village to another and had no car. A truck driver stopped to help and on the way told about his life, how difficult it was to always work on the road and how that special Christmas day will not come for dinner with his family for a setback on the trip, “says Father would CNA.

This impressed the priest who began this pastoral road, an initiative that in 1968 the EEC endorsed.

This time it joins the Year of Mercy under the slogan “Blessed are the merciful” and calls everyone connected with the road: truckers, truckers, taxi drivers, bus drivers, ambulances, etc.

This message is also aimed “to people who every day spend most of their time behind the wheel for work, need or because they enjoy holiday, also motorists with reflective vest, cyclists and pedestrians who, in one way or another, make use of public roads “.

Proof of this was a recent blessing of trucks Father would made in a village near the city of Albacete.

“It’s a very nice day because at that time his family accompanies the truck driver. They enter the cabin, which is a very special place for them. Truck blessed with holy water and gave them a picture of St. Christopher, prayer driver, “he told CNA the priest.

“The Church has always left as the main date day responsibility in traffic, held in early July that coincides with the feast of San Cristobal and the beginning of massive summer vacation,” says P. would.

This pastoral also deals with those who suffer the pain of the loss of a loved one who died in the accident and also those who suffer the consequences thereof.

So the third Sunday of November celebrates a Mass in memory of those who died on the roads and in May a day to comfort the family and who changed their lives after an accident.

Given the millions of journeys are made each summer throughout the world, P. would recommend to be “too tenderhearted on the road”.

“Everyone has passed us going in a car and insulting other drivers because they do wrong. It is therefore important to know that in the car and on the road also have to give in and be merciful “.”The exercise of spiritual and corporal works of mercy is also beneficial for those who performed and in this case the use of the car with reflective tape also helps us exercise them,” he says.

Also encouraged to take advantage journeys to pray and remember that a few words of Pope Paul VI who said “enjoy life while you’re on your way and raising the spirit to God when you see in a town that stands the belfry.”

In Switzerland, watch out for pedestrians, cyclists in France

End of the year is usually the sign of vacations and family trips to foreign mountains. Experienced drivers with safety vest already know how to prepare your car for a good portion of kilometers and frosty days to do but it is also good to understand the differences of traffic rules in the countries visited. At some rules do not go from the Czech accustomed.

On the Slovak applies similarly in the Czech Republic obligation to use winter tires when the conditions demand it (the road is covered with snow, ice or frost). Reflective vest must have strung everyone outside of the village rises on the road due to a vehicle breakdown, flat tire or an accident. The obligation also applies to motorcyclists. Daytime running lights are mandatory year round.

Slovenia is better to go on winter tires (local drivers will probably also use the opportunity to go to summer, in which case it must be in the trunk snow chains and use them in case of prevailing winter conditions). Reflective vest must have strung everyone who leaves the vehicle on the road in the event of a breakdown or accident. Vests in the required number should thus be transported in the cabin and not in the trunk. Daytime running lights are mandatory year round.

Snow chains need

In Switzerland it is to be expected that some roads may be allowed to enter only with snow chains. Using reflective clothing is not required, while daytime running lights mandatory year-round. Outside the resort pays from the sharp corners in places with poor outlook obligation to use acoustic warning sign, dark briefly blink beam headlights. Beware of pedestrians, are accustomed to a high level of respect and tolerance on the part of drivers can enter without proper look around the roadway in places where it normally expect. Drivers who to manage have prescribed glasses must carry a spare pair.

In Italy, the use of winter tires mandatory on some roads, however, may be allowed only with snow chains. Not only for the driver but for every passenger must carry a reflective vest for its eventual use, must be marked with reflective, red-white diagonally striped square, measuring 50×50 centimeters. Daytime running lights mandatory year-round driving outside populated areas, as well as rain, snow or otherwise reduced visibility. Rear fog lights can only be used when visibility is reduced to a maximum of 50 meters in heavy rain or intense snow.

In France, the use of winter tires mandatory in some road sections, however, may be allowed only with them, respectively. Reflective vest for the driver and each passenger must be transported in the cabin of the vehicle. Daytime running lights are not mandated, but are recommended. Generally outside town travel speeds up to 90 km / h and on highways to 130 km / h. During rain, however, are obliged to slow down to a maximum of 80, respectively. 110 km / h. This restriction also applies to persons who hold a driving license up to three years. Definitely not worth transporting or even use a radar detector. Otherwise, a fine of 1,500 euro (over 40,000 dollars) and confiscation of the device, in extreme cases the vehicle. Beware of overtaking cyclists. There is a need from them observe lateral distance of at least one meter outside the village at least 1.5 meters. French police from the very beginning of October has been tightened, the omnipresent and uncompromising.

Experience winter in comfort Czech – winter running tights Axis 4070 + N

With great pleasure I acknowledged the fact that in our test clutches to encounter a winter stretch pants or safety vest sewn in the Czech Republic. Czech real stretch pants! It is no great wonder? But go! Have you never noticed where those entire beautiful cross our stuff come from? I am overjoyed almost like after sitting under the Christmas conifer. Such reunion after so many years!

Axis Czech brand in stores, although you can find, but a large part of its production is exported. Under her character develops and manufactures jogging, outdoor, fitness wear, but also swimwear MODETA Style from lava. In the Highlands a high-quality clothing – again a pleasant surprise – the only EU certified materials.

Elastic pants with a poetic name 4070 + N are simple but high-quality processing. Each leg is sewn of four panels. The wide top hem is stitched rubber and folded into the tunnel through which a slightly elastic string to tie. No complexity such as pockets. Flat seams connecting individual fabric panels hidden below his knees reflective tape. Another reflector is placed on the outer thighs and reflexology is also very brand logo on the front left thigh, calf borne after three reflective elements.

Completion of the legs is a gum with two silicone parallel wavy lines from the inner side, which prevents sliding legs when running. Color base pants are always practical black. On the market are pants in combination with blue and red elements. In that the color is always the calf panel and the main flat seam running through the front of the thigh to the knee and one seam side calf.

Softness bunny Azurite

Net item is in running equipment, of course, the material used. This time it’s just about the Italian Lycra Sport, that makes you the clothes fit well, and avoids stiffness while its shape keeps for a long time. Of course breathes well, which is currently operating in winter conditions crucial. Certainly offend or antibacterial (so we stink less), or increased resistance to burr (pants so they look like new for longer).

Excellent comfort (even the heat, of course) delivers fabric finish Snowstorm. Inside is a fine whisker microfilms (experts said they call it “internal soft napped”), which both stretches moisture and transports it away from you and also has excellent thermal insulation properties. They apparently were even tested in Nepal expedition Parham Peak, which is Nepalese peak with a height of 6,237 meters above sea level.

Prague calamity

It was warmer and colder. On the day I am writing this test, it was well below zero and the snow began to fall – yes, even in Prague! Regarding the wearing comfort and thermal comfort can praise itself for five (up to a certain distance).

Sometimes I feel a little lacking at least some small pocket, but fortunately I always found something on the reflective jacket. So I was especially annoyed that the seams in sensitive areas – between the legs – not too flat. Protrude slightly into space, and when the run length of ten kilometers brother he may cause some discomfort. Even so, dress pants with more flavor than others – namely ours, Czech. In vain hunt in mind when I had something similar to cross-country to another. My first shoes were made of Športvýroby Bardejov. And maybe the first one was too tracksuit from us.

New service for drivers: Free advice on the D1 motorway

Free hotline for drivers should be viewed as compensation for the purchase of vignettes. Yet it will only work on the motorway between Prague and Brno.

RMD a driver with safety vest has prepared a novelty launched a toll-free line through which the chauffeur squeezed in need of assistance. Assistance service with the telephone number 800 280 281 is currently available only on the D1 motorway between Prague and Brno.

“Until now, drivers buying a vignette as ordered by law to pass on the motorway network of the Czech Republic, now have a cost-free assistance, as right on the highway,” he says the new service offered CEO of RMD Jan Koruna.

Drivers can toll-free contact in case of any trouble. Workers RMD upon arrival at the driver either help or at least advise him what to do. Some chauffeurs can be a problem when under stress, and so workers RMD eventually calmed down.

An important task hailed crew also will mark the location of the problem, which drivers in need often do not. Unlabeled place at the same time for other road users can be dangerous.

Free not only the actual phone call to the helpline, but also acts alone workers with reflective tape RMD on the spot problem. Assistance is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The service currently works only in the form of a pilot project, the management of its operations in the coming months to evaluate and, if positive acceptance it has plans to expand to other sections of highways. Drivers would then later be able to wait for a free assistance on other highways, other than a section D1 between Prague and Brno.

RMD a motorway between Prague and Brno divided into four sections, each of which is determined by one assistance vehicle. The vehicles will be equipped with basic facilities such as a winch, reflective vest, drinking water (which can come in handy especially in the summer) or canisters with fuel. Its occupants section will regularly pass that eventually emerged undeclared danger.

 

 

The point’s system people will be able to speak until the end of the month

To change the points system, which prepares the Ministry of Transport, the people wearing safety vest will be able to express the end of May. Meanwhile, the draft expressed nearly 800 people. In a press release today said the Transport Ministry. According to him, people suggested harsher penalties for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol over one per thousand and for non-clearance and aggressive driving.

Changes prepared by the Ministry of Transport should generally provide stiffer penalties for more serious offenses. The maximum amount of the fine would be, for example, for driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, driving without proper authorization or cause severe accidents should rise from the current CZK 50,000 to CZK 75,000.

The question of fines was one of the widely commented. According to the Department of Transportation number of people in the comments drew attention to the fact that, for the less affluent would be so heavy fine could be liquidation, while for the other drivers in terms of ridiculous amounts, these people then appealed to the amount of the fines were determined by income drivers, or has been determined by the value of the vehicle with reflective tape.

That proposal was already built but Transport Minister Dan flux (YES), according to which the authorities’ efforts to simplify the system of fines. Implementing such a mechanism should, but according to him it was directly the opposite direction, another observation that the public would wish to point system to work, to take into account whether a professional driver punished or not, for a professional driver because people argue significantly higher mileage and thus more likely to commit an offense. Contributions to this topic Authority then called for a more lenient view of the professional.

In contrast, the so-called pirate’s roads public requires much stricter penalties than ever before. Ministry spokesman Tomas Neola people with serious cases demanded the extension of the license suspension for five, ten years or even for life. At present, such a long time the authorities cannot take driver’s license, for serious crimes but that the court may decide. People in reflective clothing can express to the email address of the Ministry

Risk areas? Every major intersection with minor

Which places are in terms of accidents of motorcyclists without reflective vest in the county riskiest?

It’s practically every place where it crosses the main and secondary roads. Here bikers should pay attention. Often they do not have to go not particularly fast, but the festive driver who goes on a side road, it can be easily overlooked. The driver, for example, is not able to estimate the speed of a motorcycle pulls into the intersection.

Valid often spread by the idea that an accident cans usually biker?

A considerable proportion of road accidents have also car drivers, motorcyclists who overlook or prefer him not to. Of course, in some cases, the complicity and the motorcyclist, because not adapt speed, thus driving too fast, the common myth that behind every accident in which a participant biker, can he just not true.

In some months bikers frequent accidents?

Statistically, it is not possible to quantify. But in general I can say that at the beginning of the season not many casualties, most of them happen in the summer, which is related to the fact that in this period the roads moving most motorcyclists. In addition, some young people get to the end of the school year, motorbikes and expression is tested. But the key factor is the weather, the prettier, the more bikers leaves, and therefore more likely to suffer accidents.

How about the driving skills of young motorcyclists wearing reflective tape?

Driving licenses for motorcycles are restricted by age and performance motorcycles. For management motorbikes and vehicles always decide experiences. One should “vyjezdit” and gradually sits on the powerful machines. The problem is if an inexperienced driver on any motorcycle ever ridden, and then he take very strong. They do not know how the bike behaves, how should it be managed, cannot solve crisis.

Reflective elements help and additional lights

What would you recommend bikers to reduce the risk that the driver is overlooked?

It is visually expand motorcycle and motorcyclist is in operation more visible, even though such equipment must meet the legal requirements. The biggest risk of the driver biker overlooked is the time when the sun is shining too sharply and then vice versa at dusk. We strongly recommend that motorcyclists use safety vest.

Do you plan any security actions in connection with the bikers? In what condition are your machines?

Several actions we made in the past. Within them we distributed, for example, reflective vests and reflective cross. Also this year the bikers along with BESIP focus. During transport actions we do not reveal a greater number of problems related to poor technical state of motorcycles. We also focus on drugs and alcohol, not drunk bikers are not uncommon.

For example, in villages often travels guys without a license, without helmets and along roads. Also reveals such cases?

Previously, such cases were common, of course, in the exercise of police services for this novice driver’s focus on villages. However, on its own field or dirt road, if it is not registered as a road, they can run on anything.

 

Volunteers want to discuss directly, not fear. On Thursday, put up reflective vests

The action in support volunteers can add anyone on Thursday, March 3. Just hang prominently in the public space reflective safety vest – whether on the bench or statue in the window. The aim is to highlight that in our society is the voice that wants to just scared, but looking for solutions to the problem. And also to encourage those who are silent out of fear that they are in the minority.

“It’s not just for volunteers is for all who are not indifferent to the ongoing debate in this society. Vests are a symbol not only volunteers but also a symbol of visibility – not just close our eyes to the problem, “says Teresa of Prerov, Czech which is part of the volunteer community.

The community began to take shape six months ago, is currently involved in more than two thousand people.

“Another form of help to tens of thousands of collections, gifts, discussions in their neighborhood, the voice of people who want to talk about migration crisis by argument, not a scare, but are still weak. That is why we want to date was March 3, when the whole republic will see that a lot of us who do not want to just worry about, but want a reasonable discussion, “concluded the young woman.

As part of the campaign we see? Police handed out reflective elements

Kladno, Unhošť – Pedestrians and cyclists. These two groups are the most vulnerable road users and any collision with a vehicle or motorbike for them, they become absolutely fatal. Also for this reason, recently began paying amendment to the Act, which introduces a new obligation for pedestrians.

They now must wear reflective elements, and if moving when outside the village of reduced visibility on the shoulder or side of the road in a place that is not illuminated by public lighting. For failure to comply with this requirement may impose fines up to two thousand crowns.

“A series of tests it was shown that moves when the communication walker wearing dark clothes, is visible for the driver to eighteen meters in white clothes are already visible on fifty-five m. However, if it is supplemented his clothing reflective marking sees his driver on the 200 meters, which is sufficient clearance for safe maneuvering, “said police spokeswoman Michaela Novakova.

Police therefore long been focused on raising awareness. Since last autumn to present traffic cops went unmarked pedestrians nearly a hundred thousand reflective strips and in this activity they plan to continue. One of the traffic preventive actions aimed at raising awareness of pedestrians took place Thursday in the streets of Kladno and Unhoště. Officers from the traffic inspectorate together with the workers of the printing department and prevention in the context of a campaign called We see ourselves? distributed mentioned reflexes.

“It was a reflective tape, reflective shopping bags and reflective vest, which police received from the hands of pedestrians, cyclists, but also the drivers of motor vehicles. However, the police cannot meet the needs of all residents who are personally or in writing to seek the release of reflective materials on various police establishments. Reflective materials are readily available in stores, “added Doe.
