Reflective vest as a protest

Support for the so-called Jawbone challenge today is the expression of bus drivers across the country. Politicians say: We have enough competitions at a low price; we do not like the public transport conditions. Public procurement conditions lead to low wages for drivers. In Prague, trade unionists are heading for the Ministry of Transport.

Dozens of drivers in the Liberec region met today in their reflective jacket for their buses. Politicians say: We have a lot of competitions at a low price; we do not like the public transport conditions.

In the orange and yellow vests, Bus line bus drivers in Jawbone were driving on the road today. The trade unionists at the end of September announced a stand-by strike and called for the fight against dumped public transport prices and low wages for drivers. If the problem does not begin within a month, they are ready to strike.

At the same time, the trade unionists brought materials to the Ministry of Transport for a bus transport tender in the Hradec Karloff Region, calling for tenders to take more account of other parameters, not just the lowest price. “There is nothing about drivers in all these fascicles,” said President of Bus Line, basic trade union organization, Jixi. According to him, today’s protest with the dressing of an orange reflective vest helped 4000 drivers from all over the country.

Motorcyclist must circular reflective vest

The government decided to extend the whole country as requiring motorcyclists and their passengers wear reflective vests, which must also be printed with the vehicle control, which also must be placed in the case.

Since its implementation will be mandatory to use these elements, otherwise the police will be enabled to apply financial penalties and even retain rolled, noted from the National Road Safety Agency, the organization that formalized the implementation of the measure.

The purpose of the provision is to reduce acts of insecurity running called “motor chorus” criminals who use motor vehicles to reach the scene of assault and swiftly escape. As these episodes are usually carried out by two people, mandating reflective yellow vests and helmets with registered patent also applies to passenger.

This resolution deadness in the province of Buenos Aires and will be extended to the rest of the country. In this regard, as in Buenos Aires area, those working at service stations may not be fuel for vehicles whose owners do not have vest and helmet and domain printed on each of these elements. Today in San Rafael governs an ordinance that allows stations to refrain sandpipers refuel motorcyclists circulating without the helmet.

In our city the possibility that the measure is concrete safety vest and helmet with generated domain rejection of those who use the bike as transportation. In that sense, the closing of this edition began a rally at kilometer zero where local motor queries would say “No” to the provision of imminent force in San Rafael.

Those who refuse this provision argue that it is “discriminatory” and can be easily compromised.

Protect your children easily with a safety jacket

Tripod has developed a safety jacket for children, easy to put on and use, thanks to its unique central buckle. Keeping your children safe will be a breeze.

Putting a lifejacket on a child can quickly turn out to be a perilous exercise, as long as it moves, there are straps everywhere, or the waistcoat is not intuitive to buckle. Tripod – a brand of sailing sports at Decathlon – has just released a simple life-saving vest that simply slips on a T-shirt: the Easy life vest.

On the left side, a scratch allows you to hold the reflective vest strap to be able to clip the single central loop more easily, especially if your child is moving. With its “fit” shape, there is virtually no need for subcutaneous if equipped. Indeed, its short shape on the front makes it does not ascend under the chin of your child, leaving it free of its movements.

The back is padded for comfort and at the back of the head; there is also foam that will keep your child’s head out of the water. For children under 15 kg, the subcutaneous is replaced by panties. The Easy life vest is rated 100 nektons (ISO12402-4). It has the indispensable safety elements (whistle and reflective strips) and its fluorescent orange and gray colors, just as its design gives it a modern and pleasant look.

Note the absence of yellow vest which makes it easy to catch a child fallen in the water. The team is working on it and could well integrate this system on a future version. For now, it will be enough to recover it by the shoulders.

Such a thing must have pinned when we go shoulder. If trots on the pavement in built-up areas, we do not have the glare. In any other case, you have to obtain a reflective element. Retro-reflector must be visible from a distance. – “It may be a bandage, a luminous point, the strip sewn into a jacket, reflective vest” a – added Marlene.

About this necessarily remember:

Always have a glare. You not necessarily have to wear a yellow vest. It is important that you have a fluorescent band. Available on the market are in the colors: yellow, white, blue. Directed bikes assume such bands on the feet and hands, you too can do so.

Ladies can attach to bags small reflective beads. Such a strap in the spotlight can be seen from afar. It is a sign for the driver, the pedestrian moves along the way. Men can have bands on their hands, legs or vest, which already buy 5-10, respectively.

The youngest can buy reflectors in the shape of bears, elephants, which are flashing. The idea is to attract the eyes of road users. The cost of buying this gadget is 3 to 5 zł. We put it in a prominent place on the backpack, jacket or bag that holds the toddler returned home.

Cyclists beware: today, mandatory safety vest for you

“It’s yellow, it’s ugly, it’s not going with anything, but it can save your life”: this goes for you too, dear cyclists! This evening, the yellow vest is mandatory for bicycles, night and / or open road.

The basic principle is: See and be seen!

There is much talk of the vest and warning triangle, mandatory for motorists since 1 July (for violations, you will verbalized until 1 October).

Cyclists they too are affected by the “extent Reflective vest” mandatory today open road and at night. If the day the visibility is bad (rain, fog, snow …), you are also required to wear. You have the choice between yellow and orange vest: both are approved. They only have the CE and EN 471.

What you risk for violations

As for motorists, the offense will be fined until 1 October: if you are not wearing your safety vest in the conditions listed, you risk a fine of 35 Euros. Cheaper than for motorists: for them, the ticket is 90 Euros (minus fine) and 135 Euros (plus).

It is useful to remember that the helmet and good lighting is also essential to ensure your safety. The law already requires cyclists equip their bicycles with front and rear lights and reflectors on the pedals, but it is clear that the authorities turn a blind eye. This is intolerable: many people have grazed the accident but who still refuse to equip!

The need to equip not gained followers among some associations

According to Cecile Petit, it’s Delegate for Road Safety: “The majority of accidents occur when visibility is low. 20% of cyclists are killed or injured at night, at dawn or dusk.”

Despite this, the Association Cubic up to the plate by blaming among manufacturers: “the problem is the bike manufacturers do not put good lighting, should be required to more demands,” says his President Christophe Raved.

The association regrets this measure, “is an unnecessary obstacle to bike development.” The enthusiasm for cycling is such a simple reflective vest will not hinder the new bicycle! Cecile Petit replied in turn that “the State shall protect road users, and the stress is minimal.”

Some bike manufacturers certainly abusing lights quality of their products, but we need every cyclist takes in hand to move intelligently, without endangering themselves. No longer be assisted!

ADAC calls safety vests back

They shine only 20 instead of 25 yards – therefore the ADAC has recalled hundreds of thousands of safety vests for school children. The specimens that were now distributed in southern Baden are, but not objectionable.

In the presence of Mayor Otto the first years of the Clara-school feature in Freiburg with the new vest on Wednesday; similar actions were recorded for example in Emending Fermat.

“I think you see it from properly cute!” Mayor Otto has gathered in the schoolyard for trial wearing the bright yellow vests. The action has a good reason: “all 17 minutes detects a child under 15 years of a car on German roads, and often only because it is not seen or too late,” says Volker, Chairman of ADAC. Therefore, the foundation “Gerber Engel” ADAC has launched together with the aid organization “Kinder” and Deutsche Post AG, the action “Traffic Detectives” to life, to make the journey to school for first graders even safer.

Dangers in the dark season

Are particularly high accident rates of young road users in autumn and winter, when darkness, diffused light and fog impair visibility? But at other times it is important to be always attentive on the road. How quickly can cause a little carelessness in an accident, as a six year old boy in Freiburg’s Riesel fled was hit by a tram and fatally injured showed, for example, in May 2006.

Around 16,000 schools in Germany should receive the school year a total of 750,000 West. Since the first delivery of the West produced in China but shone not 25, but only 20 meters wide, it is complaining that the ADAC but so that it will take with the nationwide delivery a little.

Receive new reflective vest in Freiburg 27 primary and special schools. According to the ADAC spokesman Thomas Wyle the sewage-graders have been already supplied with the new western version with full radiance.

Yellow vest does not unanimously for the two-wheeler users Vosges

In a few months, the bikers will have the obligation to hold a vest and will even wear it in an emergency. This new measure is far from unanimous among users of two-wheelers.

The decree fell to the Official Gazette in May: from January 2016, all bikers will have a yellow reflective vest. From a practical standpoint, motorbike drivers will wear while driving or they stow it in a compartment of their motorcycle. A priori, the legislation still leaves them a little freedom. However, during an emergency stop of a two-wheeler, the law could not be clearer: users should wear this vest when he fined the edge of the roadway. Otherwise, the fine will be salty. Indeed, the offender will go to the fund by paying € 135 HP. And like motorists, if the rider performs outputs without having with him his tidy vest somewhere in his craft, again, it will pay cash his failure to do so: 11 €. That said, no deduction of points is expected. “Thank goodness,” is tempted to say many seeing bikers with skepticism the implementation of this decree. Moreover, departmental leaders of the French Federation of bikers angry (FFMC) does not mince words to mark their opposition to this new regulation, “If a yellow vest could save lives, we would know,” said Franck Noël, Vosges coordinator for the FFMC. The same man says studies have been conducted regarding the wearing of this famous vest. And according to him, the results speak for themselves: “It does not improve the visibility of motorcyclists on the roads. “Jean-Claude Martin and Christophe, respectively former coordinator and deputy secretary of the FFMC, this new outfit would even be a disadvantage:” There are already many people who wear these vests roadsides, including all those working for public works companies. Those worn by two-wheeler users would be drowned among others. ”

For Jean-Claude Martin, if the Inter ministerial Delegate for Road Safety has released this measure, it is only for one and the wrong reason: “If a good conscience.”He added a bit provocative:” I do not take him vest with me when I go out on a motorcycle. Just to see if it makes me a plum! “For Christophe, the decree is downright synonymous with financial waste. For him, if the state should invest money to make roads safer as much to do in more concrete things: “It would be more interesting than each rider gets help to buy a CE approved equipment.”

“As a sticker on a windshield”

Luc, President of Moto Club images, is on the same wavelength. He too is against the trivialization of this outfit: “Too many signals kill signaling,” says the manager but felt that motorists assimilate this vest, become too recurrent, in a vulgar sticker placed on a windshield. The notion of caution would be completely lost. Luc, the interest of this decree is tiny: “We will not wear this vest once it is down, having had an accident. Normally it should be used when we perform an emergency stop on the roadside. But on a 2 X 2-way, it’s not possible … At most, the safety vest can be useful if you need to signal danger and temporarily secure traffic at the scene of an accident in the meantime the forces of ‘order. ”

Obviously, the new measure is far from unanimous. And for many bikers, it does not address the causes of road accidents of two-wheelers. Suffice to say that the results of road safety, in the months following the implementation of the decree, will be scrutinized carefully…

The absence of yellow jacket costs 487 Euros to the conductive

In Amiens, it is verbalized for no yellow vest … Then to be out of her car at the time of control without yellow safety vest!

Amelia, 23, is angry. She does not know how to get out of this incredible situation.

It all starts the night of 25 January 2014. Around 15 pm 0, police gave him the order to stop his vehicle rue Charles, near the cinema in Amiens. She runs. “They asked me for my license, checked my insurance, etc. “Said the law student. Then “they asked me if I had my yellow vest. I look in the glove box, everywhere, I cannot find. One of the two policemen told me he might be in the trunk. I go out and checked, one of them illuminating the chest with his torch. “No yellow vest trace. The young woman is verbalized for this absence, and that of the security triangle, 90 euro fine.

The fine comes. She disputes the extent that she realized meanwhile that the triangle was good in the car, stored in a place provided for this purpose in the trunk. The protest is denied, the fine increases to 112 Euros. She rules.

On October 21, a new fine arrives in his mailbox: 375 Euros. “I did not know what it was! “. Amelia went to the hotel taxes for more. “Being out of the immobilized vehicle on the roadway by driver unlined jacket compliant emergency stop.” Basically: be released without reflective vest to go check it was not his vest in the trunk! And the fine is increased…

The student went to the police to try to solve this problem, without result. She finally told his case to a lawyer.

Yellow vests and gloves approved: new obligations for bikers

In principle already in the trunk of any car since 2008, the yellow reflective vest will also have to find prominently in the top case s of motorcycles. Beginning this January 1 and under penalty of a 1st class ticket (17 Euros), moped users, scooters and motorcycles will, indeed, be holders of this equipment. They must wear it only during emergency stops. And in case of non-compliance, they will face a fine range, this time to 135 Euros.

This measure designed to make it more visible this category of user closes for now the long debates on this vest that bikers came close to having to take permanently wheelchair. The decision was even announced in 2011 during a committee on road safety (IRB) before a turnaround in 2012 under pressure from his many opponents … actually, almost majority of PTW users. “Motorists forget that one exists. Then they probably would not have seen we better with a permanent fluorescent held on the back, “said Marc Bertrand, in charge of Road Safety at the French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC). Satisfied with the abandonment of the previous provision, it remains unsatisfied with this new choice. “It is better convinced of the relevance of that measure to force it through sanctions, as has been decided,” he said.

Yet another mandatory provision will affect that category of users: they will soon have to wear approved gloves with reflective tape. In preparation for the Council of State decree is expected in the coming days. This new provision does not find more favor with the FFMC. “For years we are campaigning for the reduction of VAT on motorcycle equipment to facilitate their purchase. This is what is expected to better protect this category, “said Marc Bertrand. In 2014, among users of motorized two-wheelers, the road was 22,000 wounded and killed 790 people.

The case of “urban scooter”

If the bikers did not wait for the next issue of the decree to develop gloves, this is not always the case among the ‘urban scooter.” “They are former drivers who do not feel the soul of bikers!” To avoid traffic jams, many of them have indeed swapped four wheels for two-wheelers without changing the “dress code”. “They refuse to equipment that would protect them, but we must convince them to do it,” insists the responsible road safety association, which welcomes another measure: from 1 February as part of an experiment four years, the motorcycles in safety vest will be able to travel between two lines of cars under certain conditions in Île-de-France, Gironde and the Rhône. A practice is already widespread particularly on the Paris ring. But, as recognized, this mode of driving will be taught in driving schools.
