ADAC equips primary school pupils with reflective vests

The first years of Larder were happy with Birgit Wilber, Cordial Lindeman, Margareta Busch, Gondi and Christian Wenzel over the reflective vest. The school path can be dangerous. Every year, especially in the “dark season”, many children under the age of 15 are killed in traffic.

 

“Therefore, children on the way to school should wear reflective clothing, such as a safety vest,” explained Margareta Busch of the Motorsport Club (MSC) Barnstorm in the ADAC Weser-Ems and handed over the West to the first years.

 

The aim of the ADAC is to drastically reduce the number of children involved in road traffic accidents. “Be seen arrives. Through the reflective material of the safety vest ages children in the dark are well seen from 140 meters away, “Busch made clear. With normal light clothes, this distance is reduced to 40 meters; children with dark clothes are even perceived from 25 meters away. The ADAC Foundation “Geber Engel” has already carried out the campaign several times. Ledford’s first graders have been equipped with the free safety vest for seven years each year.

 

The key to success, however, is the fact that the children would also wear safety vests. Teachers and parents should pay attention to the fact that the children wear the West daily.

 

Ledford’s preschoolers promised school principal Beaten Gondi, as well as the class teachers Cordial Lindeman and Christian Wenzel, as well as Birgit Wilber, as head of the school nursery school, to think about the well-visible yellow outfit every day.

At the same time the Brocken first-graders received the safety vest from their class teacher Ursula Meyer.

 

 

 

 

ADAC hands over safety tests to Linzer

First-year students will soon be back in the dark in the autumn and often master their own path for the first time. It is not only the school path that has to be a routine. Also wearing a safety vest for better visibility should become a matter of course.

 

Therefore, it is “quite bright” when the first-graders regularly wear the safety jerseys of the ADAC “Geber Engel” Foundation on their way to school or in their spare time. Children often cannot correctly estimate road hazards, as their physical size lacks an overview. Similarly, the directional hearing is not pronounced and the field of view is restricted. Thus the approaching traffic “from the eye angle” cannot always be recognized.

 

60 first graders, the mayor Elementary School in Linz got bright eyes, as they Chief Operating Officer of ADAC Middle Rhine, Rudi Speech, head of Herbert Fuss, first Assistant Secretary Thomas Balsas, Bernd Dietrich by Deutsche Post AG and road safety officer of the police station Linz, Nadine, the striking West as well as small further gifts. Rudi Speech appealed especially to the parents to make their children more visible: “bright and reflective clothing, like our safety vest, contributes to this.”

 

The accident rates with children are still very high. In 2015 alone, 28,235 children under the age of 15 were killed in traffic, 84 of them died. In children between six and nine years, 7,671 children were involved in an accident, 20 were killed. Common causes: the kids are just too late. Particularly endangered here are the newcomers, who still have no or only a few experiences as traffic participants, first have to get to know their school path.

 

Rudi also made this clear in his speech. “We hope that our action will result in fewer accidents, because the ADAC is particularly important to our children. And the best protection is to be seen well. “However, it was important that Speech said emphatically to the children,” that you are always careful with reflective Vest “. In total, the ADAC will distribute 22,233 safety vests to the youngest of the 615 primary schools this fall.

 

Children received a safety vest as a reward

“Colorful diversity – all less than one roof” was the motto of this year’s school festival of the Friedrich, which had to offer an equally colorful and diverse program. The official welcome was received by the pupils themselves: “We welcome you on behalf of the Children’s Council. The children wear reflective vest was also prepared for a welcome speech, coordinated by Christophe Underlet, and a welcome parade in several languages.

 

Since headmaster Markus Taube is currently on parental leave, he was only a guest at the school party. That is why the deputy headmaster Silk Seitz took over the task of welcoming the numerous visitors: “Diversity can be found in many areas: as we have seen, this is among other things the cultural diversity that brings us together in the classes and classes, but also in other areas: school, photo-center, musical elementary school and WPU courses.

 

In addition, Seitz reported: “Activities are also taking place in the framework of projects that we undertake as an Enesco school. These include exchanges with our partnerships in Lithuania, excursions to Enesco World Heritage sites and cooperation with the world shop or clubs, schools in Burkina Faso support. “A planning group led by Carton Schaech and Maria Günter had taken over the organization of the school festival. A number of cooperation partners such as the youth promotion of the city of West with the focus club, the DAK Blenheim, the Yana Soma association and the world shop were also represented with stands.

 

At the stand of the municipal youth promotion West and the association Focus the children in warning vest could go on a trip to a village in Senegal. Through cooperation with the children’s museum in the suitcase from Nuremberg, the guests were able to relive the everyday life of a family in Africa. An employee of the museum in the suitcase has brought many photos and objects of use from a visit to a family in Senegal. “We make a rattle,” two girls proudly said, “It’s not that easy!” Visitors were given the opportunity to taste or to taste African food.

 

At the DAK stand, the children were able to save the badge Max with a quiver and received a safety vest as a reward. Class 9 has produced key trailers and sold them at a booth. The proceeds will benefit the projects in Burkina Faso. Particularly sought after were the childish make-up and the raffle. With a “passport”, the children were able to visit different countries across the school grounds and take part in activities there. For each station there was a stamp – from eight stamps the young got a small price? Whether goal wall shooting, can throwing, ball games, a quiz about the school, the world shop or a nutritional quiz – both physical and mental skill and skill were to prove. In the sports hall, the young guests in a bouncy castle could really let off steam.

Clothing for poor visibility in autumn and winter

Market: With the product line Magic Vision, the French traditional manufacturer would like to appeal to those who do not allow themselves to be stopped by cool temperatures and short days of cycling during the autumn and winter months. Special attention was paid to the developers for good visibility by reflective material – not just at night but also during the treacherous hours of dawn.

 

For all those who regularly ride the bike during the autumn and winter, the bad weather conditions are also a big challenge. Whether on the way to the office or during a winter training session: the days are short and the chance to sit on the bike even after dark is correspondingly high. In order to be easily visible in road traffic and to prevent possible accidents, the right clothing is the right choice. Reflective vests are now found on a large part of the bike wear, but the French manufacturer Magic goes one step further with its vision collection.

 

For bicyclists, these two times 30-45 minutes per day are also so dangerous, since conventional reflectors barely develop their effect and lose their appearance in the dim light. At Magic, therefore, one has thought about it and equips the entire vision product line – from the waistcoat to the helmet – with two different reflector materials. In addition to the already known silver / white surfaces, the Magic yellow reflective elements are supposed to improve visibility during twilight.

 

The new collection, as used by Magic, focuses primarily on sportive riders: endurance, body-concave cut and good vapor permeability are just two consequences of sporting orientation. The vision of the H2O Vest is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the Vision products: this waterproof safety vest is a faithful companion in the dingy weather and when the training ride reaches again into the evening hours.

 

 

What children really need for school?

The enrollment is an event that many children in safety vest attend for a month. Even parents are deeply moved by the idea that the guarded nursery school will pass. Long before the big school day, parents, grandparents, godparents and, of course, the shooters themselves ask themselves what should be done for the school start. Advertising information gives the impression that school beginners need complete office equipment. But what is really necessary and what is superfluous?

 

A room to study

Many schoolchildren must complete their children’s rooms completely, so as to make room for a desk with a suitable desk chair. It is difficult for children to understand that the doll house or the big crate with the building blocks should now give way to a table. Not every child needs a real desk immediately. In many primary schools no homework is abandoned in the first two school years, which could be worked on at such a table. Also, many children prefer to sit at the family dining table to work when mother or father is nearby. Whether your own desk or not – it is important that children have a quiet and charming place in the apartment, where they can do homework, read or simply relax, without being disturbed.

 

The backpack

A school bag with reflective tape and the school bag are indispensable components of every enrollment. While the school bag can be made and decorated by itself, as explained in this manual, for example, parents should carefully inform themselves which model is most suitable for their child before purchasing a schoolbag. The satchel should be made of harmless materials. Equally important is its weight. Unfortunately, there are still models that are so hard with books and notebooks that they harm the child’s back. How hard a satchel may be and why parents should check the weight of the schoolchild over the entire primary school period regularly can be read in this article.

Reflective materials or reflectors on the satchel ensure greater road safety. Since school beginners are not well-behaved because of their small body size by drivers, any improvement in visibility by reflective materials is welcome. If you would like to be guided by the judgment of experienced testers during the purchase of the Ransom, you will find the results of the current -Test.

 

With the purchase of fillers and pens waiting

Even if relatives and friends ask what the Sagittarius needs for schooling, you should wait with the purchase of fillers, pens and staples until the teacher presents a list detailing which materials in the first School year.

 

Police in safety vest said that he had the right to do so

Our reader recorded a police car in Gdynia when he was controlling speed while standing in a stoppage place. Police officers in reflective uniform say they were allowed to stand there because they were doing their duty, which meant that “there was an out-of-court counter-offender for the offense.”

 

Our reader registered an unregistered police car on Friday morning when traffic policemen controlled the car radar driving down the street. Flyers see the map of Gdynia in Gdynia.

– Do not the police have traffic regulations? – With such a question he sent us a film.

What about the police? – The actions of the uniformed officers of the road traffic department consisted in controlling the speed. Officers had reflective vests and used a tagged police car. Speed ​​control belongs to the statutory tasks of the police, aims to protect life and human health as a priceless good – explains Michal Ruska from Gdynia City Police Headquarters.

 

He points out that in recent months there have been 19 accidents in the city, caused by excessive speed. One person was killed and 22 others were injured.

– The activities of the police officers should be interpreted as a non-partisan counter-offense in respect of the exercise of their right or duty. The speed control location has been selected in such a way as not to expose the remaining road users to any danger, Ruska explains.

 

But there is some reflection. The stop sign was set because someone thought stopping at this place was dangerous. Does the parked police car in this place such a danger to traffic does not cause? And would the driver who would be detained by the police in this place also not threaten the traffic? As traffic officials in safety vest say two cars on a stoppage do not pose a threat, then maybe the sign of the ban is unnecessary?

 

The obligation to use reflective elements by all pedestrians

On August 31, the amendment to the Road Traffic Act came into force. It introduces the obligation to use reflective elements by all pedestrians irrespective of age, moving in the dark at an undeveloped area. Until now, such an obligation was only for children under the age of 15.

 

This is a very important change. Cops and experts underline that after a pedestrian with a glare, the driver will notice five times faster than the unmarked. A person moving at dusk on the unlit road is practically invisible. The driver will only notice it from a distance of 20-30 m. If we assume that the allowable speed outside the built-up area is 90 km / h, and the minimum braking distance at this speed is 90 m – we see that the pedestrian has no chance. Already one reflective element causes it to be visible from 150 m, in which case the driver has enough time to slow down, slow down and safely avoid him.

 

The new rules do not talk about how to wear reflective elements or how they look. They only require you to be visible to other road users. Experts emphasize that the lights of the car do not illuminate the entire silhouette of the pedestrian. They are suspended low (about 25 cm above the ground) and illuminate the road asymmetrically – more light is falling on the right side of the road. That is why reflectors should be placed as low as possible and right on the right. The right leg is the right leg – knee and ankle. Reflectors can be pinned to the legs or shoes. It is also worth to have a retro reflector also at the back, at back height, so that pedestrians are also visible to the rear. It is therefore worth to invest in a reflective vest or take care of the glare of our children’s backpacks or satchels.

 

“One glare can protect against disability and even save lives,” emphasizes Marcela, head of the Social Prevention Section of the Traffic Department of the Capital Police Headquarters. Unfortunately, pedestrians often do not remember the safety of their own and others, and they make up nearly 9 percent all accidents. The worst part is that they are dead themselves. What mistakes do we most often commit? First and foremost we go out on the street directly in front of a car or behind another vehicle such as a bus or a car. In this situation, the driver has no chance of reaction. Besides, constantly, we often cross the road in an illegal place or in a red light – he notes.

 

Masonic self-government cares for the safety of children and young people. Since 2002 he has organized the “Safe Road to School” campaign, where students from grades 4 to 6 of primary schools in Masuria learn the rules of road safety. The students received sets of young cyclist – helmets, bicycle lighting, safety vest and reflectors.

 

 

 

Reflective vests with logos for Family Cycle

More than a thousand people signed up for the V Family Bike Ride in District from Junior to Senior. And although the Sunday weather did not spoil the participants of the expedition, the rally can undoubtedly be considered successful. During a picnic at the Almeria Inn, several hundred people spent time actively, for example at a campfire or taking part in prepared fitness competitions.

 

The rally took place on Sunday, June 21st, the start and finish was traditionally planned in front of the District Office building. At the start the participants received souvenir name identifiers, reflective vests with logos, sun visors and yogurts. The official opening was jointly made by straits Juliana Gone, MP for Macias and commanders of the rally. And in the circle of bikers you could meet, among others. Mateusz’s vice-presidency, who did not give up changing weather, along with his daughter Monica, traveled the route.

 

Pelion set off from the police station at ca. 9.30. Sadly, at the first stop in the youngsters cyclists surprised the heavy rain. However, what perseveres has come to Bud Borski, where the organizer – District Office, prepared a family picnic with attractions. There was a fire, and among fitness competitions: throw a medical ball, goalkeeper’s football and family ski. But as always the most excitement aroused the lottery. Several hundred prizes have been distributed. Bicycle gadgets or sweets from Mars. The tradition of the rally is to reward the youngest and oldest cyclist all wear high visibility vest, and the person who reported the highest number of participants. This year was no different; the youngest participants of the event were Michelin and Keeper Reni. We also remembered the oldest 83-year-old participant, and also about the soles ants – all Alice and who were celebrating their 21st birthday.

 

There were also special gifts and thanks to the commanders of the rally and the owners of the Lamar Guest, the Duala family. Prizes have also been awarded to athletes. More than 600 awards were distributed. The DJ was taken care of by DJ EMIL. Nice fun and busy holidays combined with a great goal. During the picnic, 9-year-old Michal from Teresa, struggling with acute leukemia, was able to donate a symbolic zloty to the can. At 2:00 pm the peloton set off. Due to unfavorable weather, the organizer on the way back has changed the route, which eventually counted 40 km.

 

As in the previous year, the members in safety vest of the association We Act Effectively – We Create Better “Through Sport in the Future”, as well as employees of the departments of the District and District Education, Culture and Sport. The organizers of the above-mentioned individuals and companies give great thanks to the above mentioned persons and companies. See you next year, at the next bike rally “From Junior to Senior”.

 

The police in safety vest intervenes the fuss

The animal defenders interrupted the Christmas hunt in Forest. Between them and the hunters there was a fuss. The police in safety vest and municipal guard intervened.

 

Hunters scheduled a Saturday morning meeting. Earlier, they had made all the required approvals and arranged the announcements in the area, informing them that hunting would be held in the forests. It was suggested to limit walks to the forest and exercise extreme caution.

Knowing the event, the activists called “I do not give a hunter’s hand,” dealing with animal defense, stumbled on one of the popular social networking sites willing to thwart hunting. Interest was great.

 

On Saturday morning, representatives of “I do not give a hunter’s hand” with an anarchist group, dressed in colorful, reflective vests, appeared in a place in the Forest, where it was to hunt.

– Instead of hunters under the forester’s lodge Macho waited for forest guards and police, but ignored our presence. They hung up the pages of another fake gathering site, the activists say.

 

– We have already received information on where to go hunting. That’s why we put our patrols in the wilderness. Our actions came down to the fact that we informed people to move cautiously around the forest, “admits Refax, Commander of the Commune Guard.

 

Hunting was not there

Defenders of the animals were well organized. They kept informing themselves where the hunters were. And they have reached their goal.

“The people who helped us moved into the wilderness where they managed to meet and stop a few shooters. Then from other activists we were informed that a hunter gathering in the Anew hunting lodge is ongoing. We went to the place. There were about 25 people making it impossible for the hunter to land in the area – they brag on the social networking site.

 

The hunter was hardly in the taste. There was a fuss. The police and the local police were called in to resolve the dispute. There was indeed an intervention in the Forest. The policemen lobbied and instructed both sides. This was over, “the press office of the police told us.

 

A more detailed account is presented by Commander, who was in place.

– How we came all this was happening normally, people were calm, and there was no aggression. Apparently, before we came here, there was some sharp exchange of opinions. The police in reflective uniform heard both sides, but there was no reason to take any consequences. Everyone went their separate ways – ends the guard.

 

Why they equipped with reflective vest

A group of activists from the Wroclaw against Hunters group blocked hunting in Legnica. Equipped with reflective vests and crossed-out slogans, they claimed they had come for a walk. Hunters tried to get rid of the protesters, but eventually capitulated.

 

Activists from the group Wroclaw against the Hunters appeared in the Legnica forest at the time of the hunt. They claimed they had come for a walk, when the hunters were out and ready for hunting. The hunters, however, did not give up and called on the police.

 

Intervention of the officers in safety vest ended with the recording of activists, but it was allowed to stay in the forest. Finally, the hunters stepped down and left the forest. According to the organizer of the action, everything took place culturally. “Well, only one of them recommended a visit to a psychiatrist,” he recounted.

 

This is another action of animal defenders recently. Recently, the BASTA Animal Initiative has blocked hunting in West Pomerania. Meanwhile, the government is introducing regulations that allow hunting of animals in reserves, which does not appeal to the hunter itself. Contrary to popular belief, they without reflective clothing do not intend to shoot anything that lives in knives. Anxiety awakens the inscription that hunting can now take place where animals have been safe until now. Even worse, the district veterinarian can even take a stand alone decision.
