The hunters in reflective vest went to shot wild boars

In a place close to the Polish border, a hunt for wild boars was held on Tuesday. Hunters wanted to reduce their population, as they are slightly overpopulated here and cause damage to farmers. No pigs were able to do it, but they shot one fox. There are several silhouettes of orange reflective vests in the milk haze. They are so-called hunters or hunters, hunters, who have the task of raiding game to the main gunmen of the shooters. They lurk in their places opposite them.

 

On Tuesday, wild boar hunters should be the main victims. There are 92 hunters on them, of which about 65 shooters. “We organize this pre-anniversary hunt every year. Last year we hit seven wild boars. The record we had in 2012 that was three more, “calculates the Hero. Wild boars have been overwhelmed recently. Although not so extreme in Freeland as it is recently in the forests. “So far, we have caught twenty-one wild boars. That is the same number we caught for the past hunting year. It lasts from April to the end of March, “the Hero points out. Pigs are mainly causing problems for farmers. They like to enjoy not only on the stomach but also on the corn or mice. These delicacies often look for the fields where the sowing crops are growing. “Today, besides wild boar, we will also shoot a fox, both races and raccoon dogs,” my guide says.

 

The local president taught a four-thousand-dollar boar at night

We climb the forest slope. Occasionally, a shot sounds from a distance. A couple of hunters are inviting their dogs: “Where the piggy is, but where is it?” Wild hogs have bad luck this time. Just here, in the nozzle, the fallen roe scare the hunters. We are approaching slowly up the hill to the shooters. The mud sticks to the shoes; the feeling of heat is slowly disappearing and the feeling of moisture changes. “It does not say anything,” he says from above. None of the black-shot shot hit. Even though they do not yet, the hunters know that Tuesday’s fun in the pre-dinner without the main prize of the tombola will not be. The four-thousand-year-old boar ran down the local president tonight.

 

“We have to stick to the bar, to know that beside us the next door goes to the right and left. No one should go off, go too far ahead, “says the owner of the hunter association, Josef Hardin. For the certainty that you are walking alongside a hound by your colleague, not only does a reflective vest or a hat – by the way, reflective apparel also have hunting dogs – but also a variety of regular calls or whistles. On the contrary, shooters must be as quiet and very alert as possible.

 

Another slaughtered pig will wait for starved hunters with dumplings and sap lettuce. “Wild boar is also good baked with steamed cabbage, even smoked or with sirloin sauce. Good is a schnitzel, but game is fat-free, so it is not so juicy and does not have to taste everybody, “Josef Hardin drives through the saliva path. From somewhere out of the creeks, a bit of barking and a row of dogs suddenly sounds a bit from the railroad. Their owners can scream the vocal cords to call them. However, when the hunters approach, they find that dogs are chasing around deer who find death in the rest of the field fence.

 

Hon was the life of a fox

Upon arrival at the inn, we find that one shot has hit the target. The victim is a fox. “I’m a little disappointed; we’ve never been in such a vacancy while we’re on this hunt. Unfortunately, wild boar caught the wind and showed only two shooters, but they did not have their day. However, the fox counts. A damn likes kennel-killing chickens, “says the Hero.

 

It seems that wildlife hid in nearby Poland on Tuesday. “They are looking for forested heaps around Tarawa, where they have peace and good food. On our side, they go out at night. In addition, tourists who are walking through the woods are very scared, “adds the hunter in safety vest. Above the slain fox and the horn sounds somewhat sad hall from the pipes. However, inside the inn they already smoke from the plates. So hunt well and have fun especially.

No car should be driven without mandatory equipment

Every car must have mandatory safety equipment. If a thing is missing or invalid, the driver is liable to a fine of up to two thousand crowns. On the other hand, compulsory gear is not self-serving; it can help motorists in an accident or injury. In addition, which is the most important thing? For each driver it is different.

 

“Warning triangle, first aid kit, surely a vest. Probably a light bulb and a warning triangle, the most important thing to me is the reserve. “And that’s just the only thing that’s required to have a limited service life, usually five years. In addition, because it was the last time its contents changed by law in 2011, we should check if ours are still valid. In addition, according to Robert, a road safety expert, the car kit is important.

 

“This is because it can be useful not only when driving in a car. One has a car parked; somebody has an accident and so uses it from a car. I am still sure I can treat someone. “The youngest element of mandatory equipment is a reflective vest that we must have in all cars for the fourth year. Besides the first aid kit, there is also a warning triangle, spare bulbs and fuses, a spare or repair kit, a jack and a wheel nut. It is enough and we were wondering if the drivers had ever used some of the mandatory equipment?

 

“Not yet. I used a triangle and a first aid kit. I did not use anything else. I did once when I helped in an accident. I have not used anything for my driving career yet. “The law does not exactly say where the parts of the mandatory equipment should be, and so with Robert we get into the car. What mandatory equipment should we have in the cab? “Definitely a reflective vest is prescribed only for the driver. I recommend that it have all the crewmembers and have it so that I can dress it before I get off. There is also a first-aid kit at your fingertips to get her strapped from her seat. ”

 

We get out of the car and look back to the trunk, there should be the rest of the required gear. “But we must count on the fact that we Czechs mostly carry a full suitcase. What I need to get quickly available, perhaps a warning triangle should always be found, even if I have a suitcase full of platter. ”

 

In addition, due to the advent of modern techniques, Robert recommends other practical issues – Automap and small coins. “At the moment of navigation failure, the paper map may be very useful. Due to our payment cards, we often have little money. However, they can help us when we need it for example in the toilet and the petrol pump is no longer free or in the city where there is a parking machine.”

 

The sale of reflective elements has risen sharply

The public’s interest in reflective elements, which have been worn for reduced visibility since the weekend by an amendment to the Road Act, has surpassed all expectations. The protected workshop from Hradec, which produces safety accessories, recorded a 400 percent increase in orders from last Friday.

 

The company from Hradec Králové has observed the gradual increase in sales in recent weeks. In winter, this is a “cucumber season” and a sheltered workshop with seventeen employees has only a few orders per day. However, he is receives around 30 reflective merchandise daily.

 

“After the amendment to the law began to discuss radio and television, the growth was actually rocket and is still holding. People have so far neglected their security. They are hurrying now so they do not pay a fine. When asked, they admit they do not feel dangerously on the road, but they are more scared of fines and police, “says Marketing Secretary Kristina.

 

The greatest interest is for reflective tapes. Favorite tapes with Velcro fastener, but especially plastic self-adhesive tapes, which people can put on hand, foot, tube from the wheel or ear from the bag.

 

The hand strap is visible from almost every angle when moving. However, the ideal one is to have several reflective points that make the driver aware of the figure’s outline. Otherwise, it is threatening to repel the reflector, for example, with the back of the road. A black jacket and dark jeans are only visible for ten meters at night. Kristina’s reflective vests are the best choice in terms of safety. However, people do not care much about it.

 

“Many people have reservations against the high visibility vests that they look like garbage bins that do not fit their clothes. Fashion plays prime and life is overturned. The tapes are simply threaded, have a wide grip and can be easily removed and hidden in your pocket or handbag, “says the executive.

Reflective elements have been a responsibility for pedestrians

Pedestrians who drive on the road in the dark or diminished visibility must also wear reflective vest for the year. Police sometimes even check and distribute fines. However, the effort was paid off. According to statistics, the number of pedestrians killed outside the village has fallen. Still, there are those who walk on the roads without reflective elements. In addition, some will pay for it for life.

 

Last Friday, 2 September, the Czech police officers received reports from the driver. He drew attention to the unlit pedestrian who was on the roadside. He could not see it, but fortunately, he could avoid it at the last minute. It was too late before the police arrived. A sixty-year-old man on the road between Bola and Doisy hit the car. He died on the spot. Tragic events would most likely prevent a man from reflect himself on the road. It is the year that you have a year on Czech pedestrian roads. In addition, the statistics show that their use has been eliminated by just such tragic events as happened.

 

In the year 2016, 111 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. This is about 20 more victims than in 2015. It also started better this year, when seven pedestrians died in January, compared to 11 in 2015 and 2016. “The decrease in tragic pedestrian accidents is only outside the village, while in the villages the number of their victims was the same as in 2015, except for 20 people less than last year,” says Martin, head of BESIP.

 

Although the reflective material for pedestrians outside the community is obligatory, accidents occur when people are not wearing them. “Every accident is specific and we can hardly generalize that these people would live if they had reflective elements but would certainly have a better chance of surviving,” explains Martin. According to BESIP, it is shown that reflective elements can reduce the risk of a pedestrian accident by up to ten times under impaired visibility.

 

Moreover, the statistics show that the number of pedestrians who died after the accident in the village increased by four, while outside the village, where people would wear reflective elements, the number of pedestrians killed dropped by 10. The duty is still valid for the day visibility. Under such conditions, no one died in 2016, but three people a year earlier. BESIP supports wearing reflective elements of the campaign called “Do We See?” It informs you about the dangers that pedestrians are losing sight of. In addition to the cops, he has already given out a million reflective tapes.

 

 

Indian cows wear reflective colors to avoid a traffic accident

An ever more popular reflective tape add-on that protects at night before a traffic accident has not prevented sacred cows in central India. Animals that roam freely along the streets of the city and are frequent accidents of the crash, the local police began to stick to the corners of the reflective film.

 

The idea came with traffic police in the state of Madhya Pradesh, where the measure touched some 300 cattle. The results in terms of reducing the number of accidents are encouraging, and the authorities are therefore about to take the reflective colors to paint the horns; such a solution should be more durable than films that will soon patch up.

 

“Many drivers have suffered injuries or killed the animals after they encountered them at night with their car. We had to act swiftly to prevent such accidents, “the local traffic inspector in safety vest told AFP.

 

According to official data, about 550 people die annually in India because of an animal accident. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report of 2013, over 200,000 people die annually on billions in India.

 

 

Compulsory car equipment should shrink or not

Required safety equipment in cars could undergo changes. Replacement bulbs and fuses could replace the list of what drivers have to carry in the car. Some Members are inclined to do so. According to them, cars are as unnecessary as most drivers can not or can not replace them. At the same time, they want to unify mandatory equipment in Europe. However, there are some experts.

 

Replacement light bulbs and fuses, spare wheel or tire repair kit, warning triangle, reflective vest, car kit and key wheel nuts. The mandatory equipment is that every driver must have in his car. However, according to some deputies, the first three listed items might have disappeared.

 

MEPs have just been discussing it and have not reached any official conclusion.

“There is no problem with replacing the light bulb with other vehicles, considering that in the case of diminished visibility, if I break the light that is facing the road, I can not continue driving,” says politician Martin of BESIP.

 

Some experts would not be releasing the hiver and the spare wheel. According to them, it is not a problem for the driver to replace the damaged tire himself. According to experts, a fire extinguisher could be included in the mandatory equipment in the Czech Republic. He is required in Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria or Romania. Denmark only recommends it.

 

The Czech Republic and Slovakia are the last countries where spare fuses and incandescent lamps are mandatory. However, according to traffic safety experts, only the most recent cars, which the driver virtually can not manage, are driving on Czech roads. The average age of cars is fifteen years for us.

 

Do you know how to drive in winter

For over a month, drivers have to wear safety vest and change the winter tires, if there is a continuous layer of snow, ice or icing on this road, but even then, this can be assumed. If you violate this obligation, you will be liable to a fine of up to CZK 2,000. Not only winter tires are part of winter car preparation. Volkswagen Financial Services reported.

 

In addition to winter wheels, it is also good to check the car’s equipment, replacement bulbs, spare fuses, wheel nut, hiver, spare wheel, warning triangle, reflective vest and first aid kit. In winter, it is also good to carry a field blade, a glass scraper, a de-icing lock, a strong rope and possibly chains.

 

Car washing should also be part of the winter preparation, since the car has to deal with spreading salt, gravel and other substances that are used for road maintenance.

 

In the winter, however, the driver must be prepared first. In 2016, over 53 000 accidents were caused by an incorrect way of driving. Sometimes it is better to leave the car at home. “Every year, experts advise drivers not to drive in a very unfavorable weather, and every year many drivers do not listen to these recommendations, but they have to calculate what costs more – one public transport or car repair, in the best case,” says Lukas Cana in yellow vest from Volkswagen Financial Services. According to the survey, 50% of drivers are influenced by their driving habits during the winter season and the associated weather conditions. As a result, 22% of drivers drive the car in winter less often or almost at all.

 

 

Pink reflective vest for hens

According to the manufacturer, the safety vest protect the hens not only from road traffic, but also from adverse weather, and small farm animals will remain clean, dry, and warm. Isolation is particularly suited for poultry chickens that have fewer feathers and are therefore more susceptible to ambient temperature.

 

Reflective vests for hens began to be produced on customer request.

However, the manufacturer recommends removing the clothes at night so that the hens do not overheat. Nor does it recommend its use at high outdoor temperatures.

 

Jane Haworth of the British Hen Welfare Trust, who oversees hen breeding in the UK, is of course pleased with the outfits. “They are one of the most sensible things on the market. Because they were demanding, it turns out that people are beginning to keep the hens like their lovers.” At the same time, he hopes that people will stop the hens from wearing them in knitted clothes where they can get tangled.

 

Just ten days after the start of the sale, about two hundred customers bought the high visibility vest via the Internet. Meanwhile, customers are clearly winning pinks against yellow in a 2: 1 ratio.

 

 

 

Some reflective vests on the market are not visible in the dark

Some reflective vests that are commonly sold here are not visible in the dark. Researchers from BUT in Brno found this. These are, for example, vests bought at the market. Although they have a label about the atheists, they are still not working. The obligation to wear reflective elements in the dark has pedestrians outside the village for more than a year.

 

Researchers at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication of BUT test the reflective high visibility vests directly on the field. They use a special camera with a camera to create a so-called bright map. It depicts how much the character is at night in contrast to the surroundings. “What you see here is a luminous analyzer, which is built on a digital SLR camera, which is specially adapted for this case, and the photo is analyzed by the software,” explains the head of the Jan Skoda Lighting Laboratory.

 

Two figurants went into the dark, 80 meters from the car. At such a distance, it must be seen that the driver has reacted to the pedestrian at speeds of about 90 km. The technician with the device in the car is focused, photographed and analyzed. “There is only one safety vest visible from the bright map, the other one can not be seen,” Jan Skoda said.

 

Reflective vest in car: where is it mandatory

Motorists should keep an eye on whether they have a reflective vest in the car. In many countries, it is mandatory, often under the threat of thousands of fines.

 

Most recently – since April 30 – it is mandatory to wear a reflective vest in Slovenia. Local measures are among the countries where the vest is compulsory, the most moderate. The driver must always wear it when he or she leaves a car on a motorway or expressway in an accident or breaks a car.

 

A similar situation as in Slovenia is in Belgium, Italy, Romania and this year also in Luxembourg and Hungary. Still, there are differences – The Hungarian police have no power to collect fines on the spot in cash, a fine is paid by a payment order and must be paid within 15 days. In Italy, passengers must also use the passenger jacket if they leave the vehicle in the event of an accident or breakdown.

 

Stricter conditions apply since 2005 in neighboring Austria. Outside of the village, the driver must wear the safety vest always in a situation where a warning triangle, motorways and express roads are to be built behind the vehicle every time they move out of the car. In addition, it is the duty to carry the vest. Failure to comply with these rules will theoretically amount to a penalty of up to € 5,000, in reality the fine ranges from € 14 to € 36 (about $ 350- $ 900). According to the Austrian Automobile Club ÖAMTC, the lower rate is most often levied.

 

A similar situation as in Austria is in a typical summer destination for Czech drivers – in Croatia the duty is extended except for motorists and motorcyclists, but for violation, there is no sanction at present. In the Czech Republic, according to Government Regulation 168/2002 Coll. Reflective vest is a part of mandatory service equipment. Vehicle vehicles are also subject to the obligation to wear reflective vests in Germany.

 

The European Standard EN 471 defines how the visor should look properly. If this standard matches the high visibility vest, it should be marked on the label along with other product data. Although in many countries there is no obligation to have or use reflective vests, transport experts agree that it is always better to keep it in touch with regard to their own security in case of unforeseen events.
