Complaints about ME reflective uniform

It is adapted ME-uniform. The safety vest is replaced and the protection pieces exhalation is improved. To remedy the symptoms for heat problems is getting the riot modern thermal underwear and extra carrying instruction.

 

Police have the ME-uniform TNO examined after some riot was seized by the heat during exercise. This study shows that the excess heat generated in the use of the uniform is the result of a combination of factors. It is the combination of the non-moisture-permeable safety reflective vest with the other protection pieces (arms and legs).

 

Also, the weather conditions, the manner in which it is used and a uniform influence on the rate at which heat problems arise, the duration of use.

 

The ME reflective uniform was extensively tested before release. During the wear tests were no complaints. The modifications to the uniform will take some time.

 

No safety vests for conductors NS

NS does not intend to equip conductors with a safety vest. Those were suggestions after Monday showed that NS in the new tender for these vests had entered the ability to accommodate increasing the number to 10,000. Initially only the replacement of 700 vests Safety & Service employees. But NS says that such a margin is normal.

 

This allows the rail carrier know in response to the tender. According to NS is the standard that a contract shall include the possibility of ordering higher quantities than are needed. “Should there be need vests in the future, this train does not launch new tender to acquire the armor.”

 

Safety reflective vests

Now it’s wearing only employees engaged in security at NS Such vests and need to be replaced. Therefore NS Monday issued a tender for the new vests. It initially pinpoint the replacement of 700 jackets, but also includes the ability to deliver accommodate up to 10,000 employees’ from the second delivery year or when changing safety. “NS stressed, however, in a reaction to have no plans as well to equip conductors with a safety vest.

 

These vests with reflective tape protect the V & S employees from attacks by weapons and physical mewled. Verde let the carrier know aggression to counteract in other ways, such as shutting down the stations with turnstiles, the deployment of field agents and extra surveillance. Moreover, the carrier will improve public safety by from June on nights after 22:00 standard two conductors on the train and mobile V & S teams on the other nights.

 

Equipment Reflective MACNA Night-Eye: bright

Applicable from January, the questionable – and challenged! – Government action forcing to wear retro-reflective equipment motorbikes seems nevertheless having a positive effect: it pushes the motorcycle equipment manufacturers to improve the visibility of motorcyclists and scooter riders.

 

Three years of development

The result of three years of research and development, Night-Eye process has the feature to capture and refract light strongly, even low. “More ambient brightness is low, the more the material reflects intensely” says the Dutch manufacturing MACNA.

To achieve this, the reflective material “Night Eye” consists of a micro-faceted multitude hemispherical at grainy, which act like tiny mirrors. The advantage of this technology lies in its discretion: to date, and jackets motorcycle and scooter covered the Night-Eye does not differ from traditional equipment.

 

At night however, their ability to reflect light shows much higher: the proof image with the above arrangement made with the jacket touring MACNA Concrete.

Currently MACNA offers two ranges of equipment that use the Night-Eye technology: a first fluorescent yellow for maximum visibility and a second gray that can be found on clothing less “flashy the eye “as the Concrete reflective jacket.

Cyclists disagree with the duties of reflective elements

Associations that promote cycling as a mode of transport does not agree with the obligation to pedestrians in poor visibility had elements required to wear reflective clothing. That is the amendment to the law on road traffic promotes the Ministry of Transport. “This obligation is inadequate especially in the villages where you can expect the movement of pedestrians and drivers would thus they should be ready,” said Vice President of the European Cycling Federation Daniel.

 

“The implementation of the obligations of pedestrians wear reflective elements is inconsistent with the principle of responsibility stronger traffic participants (motorists) for the damage they can cause,” said Moore. Ministry proposal requires wearing reflective elements and in the community in places where there is no pavement and not sufficiently illuminated.

 

Such conditions but by the association fulfills a number of residential streets where pedestrians without reflective fabric clothing according to the letter of the law could not move at all. But in reality it will be completely different point associations and demand that even without the reflective elements could walker to communicate through. In this case, for example, could be required before the passage of the vehicle on the verge of retreat.

 

Besides wearing reflective elements associations require adjustments to the duties of cyclists in motion in operation. It includes the abolition of the obligation to always ride on the right side of the road, which endangers cyclist’s example when the side of the road parked car in narrow lanes or before the roundabout. Cyclists crossing for cyclists should also take precedence over branching vehicles. Preferences for these associations are demanding even in a situation where the vehicle comes from tertiary roads that may not have been marked trails in these sections interrupted.

 

Among the associations that submitted comments on the law, for example, was the association Auto * Mat, organizing bike ride with wearing reflective vest, association Brno bike or Partnership Foundation.

Police handing out Reflective tape instead of fines

Six out of ten deaths of pedestrians are dying on the roads at night and eight in poor visibility. The sad statistics led logically to supplement the Law on Road Traffic mandatory reflective elements. Police officers or pedestrian controlled but as shown exploration rights, while fines instead of fatty distributed reflective tape.

 

Penalty for lack of security elements may, according to a spokesman for city police officers in Hradec Kralove Eve reach up to 2000 crowns. But the penalties do not fall so far, confirms her colleague from police Hanna. “Rather violators explain how important it is to be seen, and on that occasion they also reflective tape giving away,” said Legal.

 

“It is now essential especially prevention and education, police in the Piles region pedestrians also transmit reflective elements,” confirmed a police spokeswoman Jana. For example, seniors Monday morning at one of the busy intersections in the city center received shopping bags in reflective colors. “During the events giving away pedestrians reflective tape, which is quite interested,” said spokesman Petra.

 

In the past six months, we handed out maybe eight hundred reflective tapes on sleeve. His colleague from the district added that people even go on a police station and reflective tape on request. “Unfortunately, we do not have much that we can give out to everyone on request free of charge. We do it just for preventive action. ”

 

Contrast tape instead of a fine not comes without pedestrians and reflective material elements. “Strider evening check and inform them that they should have reflective elements. They are also taken from BESIP and we give them, “he told Provo City police.

 

Even Brno officers widely distributed in preventive actions called a reflective tape on the sleeve. “People go to them and to our staff, in the past six months we’ve handed out maybe eight hundred,” said city police spokesman Patel.

Police officers explain to people that the reflective elements are also good to wear in, not only in the dimly lit streets, but everywhere, especially in poor visibility.

Unique plus

 

Qualified assessment of the impact of the new law is still early, but questioned the police officers and it unanimously welcomed. And again, it’s not just sanctions.

“Personally, I believe that it is very good that the issue of the visibility of pedestrians speaking, it has a preventive effect. I notice that people and daytime wear reflective tape on bags, so awareness is pretty, “said Stray.

 

The Jiminy by local police number of pedestrians with reflective elements on clothing definitely increased. “It is not enough, for example, Walker had in his hand a flashlight. Therefore, the most reflective tape or vest, “added Legal.

Police will distribute reflective vests and belts

Pedestrians and passengers two groups of people, which in those days would turn the attention of police in Olin reason in both cases is the same: to be more visible. Reflective vests today 15 to 17 hours will be handing police a passenger in the passenger seat on the road at the entrance.

 

“In vehicles because in most cases is the only reflective vests drivers. Other participants did not, and so are often in danger when they move, for example in traffic accident site, “explained Olin police in safety vest.

 

According to her, more and more tragic accidents, which could often be avoided just that, if a person moving at dusk or in darkness have seen enough already from afar. If pedestrians can wear reflective tape on hand, it will be a greatly help.

 

“You will, together with representatives of road safety and traffic patrol handing pedestrians in Olin Street on Thursday,” said Lucie. The reflective belts handed out event was held by her between seven and eight o’clock in the morning.

A thief robbed a reflective vest in the car

Police officers are searching for the unknown thief who chose an unusual disguise. Cars parked in the street walked wearing a reflective vest. He stole two bags in which they were stored stuff for three quarters of a million. Police were looking for him since September 9, now appeals to the public.

 

“An unknown offender shortly before three o’clock in the afternoon, first peered into the vehicle. When the seat saw two bags, did not hesitate, broke a window and travel bags alienated, “said police spokeswoman Vista.

The plunder for three quarters of a million, then quickly ran into the bushes, where they originally came from.

 

Hundreds of thousands in cash and watches

According to police luggage hid hundreds of thousands of crowns in cash, jewelry, cosmetics, clothing and shoes. Police in safety vest managed to get a photo stolen ladies watch brand beetling, which are likely to suspect a man tried to sell.

 

“Although the record did not capture the face of the suspect, he might know someone, for example by walking or style of clothing. Detectives are therefore now after exhausting other options are turning to the public for help, “said Martin.

If anyone could suspect the man on the tape identified, can call the hotline 158th “Detectives are investigating the case on suspicion of committing crimes criminal damage and theft, for which the offender if caught and convicted threatens imprisonment for up to eight years,” said Martin in reflective jacket.

 

Reflective vest in the car sometimes not enough

Accidents in recent days increased greatly. The driver is often surprised bad weather. But how to behave when you leave your car outside the village, or crash when no safety vest?

Frosts, fog, ice – so it could summarize weather of recent days. And many drivers have tasted firsthand how he can torment. But if you become involved in an accident or your car breaks down on the road, you should follow certain rules, otherwise, indeed, is still exhibits fine!

 

A reflective vest is not enough sometimes

In the Czech Republic the law orders have in the car a reflective vest – for the driver. If your car breaks down or you crash, you must take it upon exiting the car to get dressed, to other passengers, this obligation does not apply. But under the new rules, or they may not be entirely without safety features.

 

Indeed, when you get off the car, you become a pedestrian, for that since February the new Act. “The driver must have a legal wearing a reflective vest if, however, the rest of the passengers moved along an unlit road outside the village, must be equipped with reflective elements,” says trainer Yaroslavl drivers. For the offense can be fined up to two thousand crowns.

 

In some cases, but must have a reflective vest and the rest of the crew, in the case of corporate staff and transport vehicles. “Any employee who would have to repair vehicles entering the roadway must move around the car in a reflective safety vest,” explains government decree that obliges the employer to ensure that a sufficient number of vests. “They can either be stored in the car or the employee before boarding the vehicle,” he adds.

 

Czech regulations do not specify where the reflective vest saved. Drivers so it can be stored in the cabin of the car, but also quietly in the trunk. But be careful you have to be abroad. “In some neighboring countries is a condition that reflective material vest must be placed within reach of the driver, for us it is not provided,” adds Hones. Abroad, you must also keep an eye on mandatory equipment, which has since Czech is often different.

Reflective vest let you run illuminate in the dark

See and be seen are the two most important principles of night running. Over the winter, moreover runners withdrew from the woods on bicycle paths, therefore they must reckon with other road users than deer and hares. We looked at how to outwit jogging in the dark.

 

Reflective elements

Reflective material elements visible from all directions are the very basis for anyone after dark issues into operation. In purely cross-country brands even created a special series, which boasts an extremely high amount of reflective surfaces. If your clothes still missing reflective clothes, do not be sad. Flexible reflective tapes can be bought for a few cents literally a visibility problem is that very easily solved. To resolve the presence of reflective surfaces elegant way, there are also self-adhesive or iron-on reflective stripes, which can easily enhance any piece of sportswear.

However, if you get when running on the unlit space, you’ll need something better.

 

Headlights

Headlamps are the best friend the night approaching kilometers. You not only because of them you will see the feet on uneven surfaces, but also about themselves you know all runners and cyclists in the opposite direction.

The basic parameter for selecting the headlamps is its performance. Among the cheapest flimsy lamps include a relatively weak performance, with around one hundred lumens. They are most suited to running on the road and smooth bike paths where you only need a weak beam and more than exploring the terrain is important for you to draw attention to their presence nearby.

 

Choosing headlamp role lumens, control and power

If you run regularly along broken roads or paved rural and forest trails, look around rather to stronger with power from two to four hundred lumens. You will no longer strong enough to comfortably illuminate the terrain a few meters in front of you, allowing you to run over rough surfaces without the risk ankle.

For lovers of difficult terrain, there are then the most powerful (and expensive) headlamps with power from 500 to 1000 lumens. That’s quite a glow that turns night into day, but also a gaping hole burned into the retinas of runners in the opposite direction. Remember, therefore, on busy roads spotlight adequately mute.

What illuminate the area in front of you is concerned; looking headlamps competition is very difficult. Your back remains unlit, and especially the weaker headlamp beam of light can be seen from the rear until relatively late.

Therefore, it is good to combine headlamp with something that will take care of it, so you could see not only the front but also behind.

 

This role is played to perfection variety blink and lights, which can be clipped to the body. Runners most sought reflective tape with red LEDs that can be on the ankle or arm. In addition to the bands worth mentioning even blink or snap clips that can easily be clipped to a backpack or bottom edge of the jacket.

The big advantage of such opportunity is turning your bike into any side so that their LEDs shine exactly the direction that you need. Most often, you may encounter a red light, but also newly emerging blue and green flashing light that can attract the attention of an unusual color even slightly better than the traditional red color. To run unlit passages can, however, their shine will not be enough.

 

Reflective safety vests

The final safety feature designed for running in the dark as reflective vests with integrated LEDs. These to some extent combine the advantages of the preceding variants. Vests are usually made from lightweight mesh neon bright colors and are thickly dotted with large reflective surfaces. For the better then missing two strips of LEDs on the chest and back, which can be separately controlled?

Diodes significantly increase the efficiency of reflective vests and enable its use also on unlit places. Leading white LEDs will never be able to have such power to replace the headlamp, but for occasional overrun unlit section that should be enough. Practically unusable, however, vest provided that run with a backpack.

 

My solution

Personally, I prefer a combination headlamp and snap blink (reflective elements on a backpack and clothes are commonplace). I choose a headlamp with high performance that pleasantly and dense fog, which is typical for winter Brno. Another advantage is the fact that the maximum intensity of the light can be used instead of a short flash of the bell, alert and my presence pedestrian and dog-friendly, which I pass on the cycle path.

 

Snap-flashing clip suits me because it is very easy to attach to a backpack that I am back in the evening running from work almost every day. Due to running with a backpack unfortunately out of the game use a reflective vest.

The police fine nocturnal pedestrians without reflectors

When walking along the road outside the village at night or in poor visibility must have people wearing reflective vests or belts. The amendment to the Road Traffic Act, which imposes the obligation, acquired while efficiency this year on February 19, fine for this offense, the police began with the advent of autumn.

 

If it is now a pedestrian without reflector caught that it was in poor visibility along roadsides in a place where there is no public lighting, can receive fines up to 2000 crowns. Until recently, these policemen and pedestrians only spoke to them at roadside checks handed out free reflective tape.

 

Most of it ignores

Awareness, however, was not very effective. As for Tuesday’s press conference, said Head of Road Safety Ministry of Transport Martin Parson, most pedestrians ignore this new obligation or has reflective elements badly set. “From 1 to 24 October, there killed 56 people on the road, three more than in the same period last year. Of this, 13 pedestrians killed, “the director of traffic police Tomé.

 

Meanwhile, if the walker equipped in reduced visibility the reflective element of safety vest increases the distance at which the driver can recognize it, up to 200 meters. And that gives sufficient time for the driver to react in time and safely avoid pedestrians. The reason why she was required to wear reflective elements enacted is the fact that in the years 2012 to 2015 died on Czech roads total of 523 pedestrians – 303 of them at night.

 

Buy it without problems

“People mistakenly think that the reflective elements must be only in the dark. But it is not accurate, because clearly labeled and must be in the dark, such as at dawn or after sunset. The fog is advisable to have with you yet light source such as an electric torch, “recommended the pastor. Take the reflective elements can, for example, stationery, sporting goods stores are often even at the supermarket, in a newsagent, a post office and a gas station.

 

Price Reflective tape is usually between thirty and forty crowns. Even cheaper are Internet e-shops that offer them ever since fifteen crowns and reflective vests for adults from 100 CZK. It is necessary, however, to amount to credit for the service, which is often higher than the prices of the reflective element. Pedestrians who fail to comply with the obligation imposed by the law, not only threatens fines.

 

“They should also remember that without reflective material products run the risks that they will also have to pay some medical or other costs incurred in connection with a traffic accident,” said Roman Boesky Team of road safety.
