Motorcyclists should wear a reflective vest

The Government decided to extend to the whole country the measure that obliges motorcyclists and their companions to wear

The Government decided to extend to the whole country the measure that obliges motorcyclists and their companions to wear reflective vests, which must also have printed the domain of the vehicle, which should also be placed in the case.

 

Since its implementation will be mandatory the use of such elements, otherwise the police will be able to apply economic fines and even retaining the wheels, said from the National Road Safety Agency, which official the implementation of the measure.

 

The purpose of the provision is to reduce acts of insecurity, criminals who use motor vehicles to reach the scene of the assault and escape quickly. As usually these episodes are carried out by two people, the mandatory of the high visibility vests and helmets with the registered patent also rules for the companion.

 

This resolution is already in force in the province of Buenos Aires and will be extended to the rest of the country. In this sense, as in the province of Buenos Aires, those working at service stations will not be able to fuel vehicles whose owners do not have a vest and helmet and the domain printed on each of those elements. San Rafael currently rules an ordinance that allows stationers to refrain from refueling motorcyclists who travel without the helmet.

 

In our city the possibility of making the measurement of the safety vest and helmet with domain generated rejection of those who use the bike as a means of transport.

Those who reject this provision allege that it is “discriminatory” and can be easily breached.

Reflective vest will avoid many accidents at the wheel

The work begins to bear fruit, and more will give. The Villanova Local Police officer José Luis has been teaching classes in schools and institutes in the municipality for six years and has managed to ensure that children act as advocates of road safety for their parents. They have learned the lesson and do not hesitate to require adults to put on their belts, not to talk on the phone at the wheel and to do the exercise of counting 1,001, 1,002 and 1,003 before starting a STOP. And if you play the role of pedestrians already know that it is mandatory to put on the reflective vest, which better to wear light clothing if it is night and always walk on the left.

 

“Someone who does not wear a belt begins to say pi-pi-pi, so tell him that he or she will. These small machines are going to be xenia aeration, “says the agent.

But his work has not yet ended, far from it. Maui, as the boys call him, has proposed to implant in Villanova the “Generation 00: zero accidents, zero victims”. This is the title that has given to a project that will develop throughout this course. In addition to continuing with the informative lectures and practical classes with the mobile park that gives in these cases the Provincial Traffic Headquarters, his idea includes calling a drawing competition on road safety and instituting a book of signatures in which public entities and Private companies to write their commitment in this matter, among other initiatives.

 

Six years learning

The objective abounds the official, is to continue deepening training and awareness that prevention can save many lives; and those children who were released in Children and who pass to the institute already have a long way traveled thanks to the classes with Maui.

 

The police take safety vest returned last week to the school of San Roué de Croon and before it was in San Miguel and Julio Cambia. In the next few weeks he will go to Termed and Bain, and he plans to take these didactic sessions to the center of attention to people with autism and does not rule out doing it with adults as well, because it never hurts to remind them that Safety are to be met.

 

José Luis knows how to deal with the boys very well and gets them to listen and get the message: “I lost friends in accidents and tell them that there must be zero accidents.”

 

 

These tips can prevent an accident when it rains

With the arrival of the first downpours, the number of accidents on the road increases and many of them could be avoided just by taking some care that allows a better reaction with the wet streets.

 

The same Traffic Police in safety vest confirms this situation and assures that it is normal, because of the confluence of the water of the first rains with the oil and fuel accumulated in the roads during the whole summer, that generate a “soap film” in the asphalt capable of provoking Skidding in both cars and motorcycles.

 

“They are shocks that we call without grace, the typical kisses between bumpers, as they are commonly known.

 

Unfortunately, most people refuse to use the reconcile option, which allows clearing the road much earlier. We ask you to use this alternative. In the first quarter of the year we attended 23,815 accidents, which means that we attended an accident every 5 minutes and a half, “said Mario Calderon in reflective jacket, director of the Transit Police.

 

But, to avoid these situations, the following tips can be taken into account, in order to reduce that number of accidents:

– Check that the air conditioning and the vehicle’s brushes are in good condition, to avoid fogging and lack of rain visibility.

– Check that all the lights work properly allows showing under rain and with little visibility what the front, rear and side vehicles are doing, whether it is braking or trying to change lanes.

 

Due to the rains, accidents are increasing.

– In the case of motorcyclists and cyclists, the theme of lights is also important, but they must also wear light reflective clothing and a light on, 24 hours a day, to become more visible.

– Caution when passing through manhole covers or the railway line, as these metals become slippery on contact with water, so do the famous “dead” or speed reducers, in the form of asphalt mounds or metallic.

– Keeping the distance instead of reducing it, compared to other vehicles is, then, a recommendation that is not too much.

– In wet road conditions, the vehicle takes longer to brake, it moves for more space before stopping, so that it is more than evident the need to reduce speed when it rains.

Wear safety vest at dangerous night

The Police in safety vest have clarified some of the first data of the investigation that the body clogs team is solving throughout this morning of Friday, when it has been reported the death of a man by abuses on the roads of Navarre.

 

This is O.G.F, a 43-year-old man from Cantabria, who was driving a truck on the N121A, at the height of the town and has been hit by a vehicle that was driving in the direction of Pamplona. The event took place near midnight, about 23.55 hours on Thursday. The driver of the car that has rolled this man was a young man of 19 years, neighbor of the municipality.

 

As confirmed by the police force, the darkness of the night has been able to have part of ‘responsibility’ in the facts. Early indications indicate that the man, who was driving a truck, has parked the vehicle on the right-hand side of the road. Apparently, he wanted to cross the national road where the events took place on the other side of the road, where there is a gas station, but he doesn’t wear any reflective vest.

 

The driver of the car may not have seen the trucker crossing the road on foot, a fact that has caused the vehicle’s impact, at speed, against him. This has been the state in which the car has been:

The same police sources confirmed that the deceased did not wear reflective clothing. For his part, the boy who drove has been negative in all tests that have been practiced, both alcohol and drug. It has been unharmed after the deadly accident on Friday.

Until the place of the events have been patrols of the Provincial Police and Road Safety of Pamplona. This is the second road accident in less than 24 hours in Navarre, as this same Thursday reported the death of a 19-year-old, who was leaving the road descending from San Cristobel.

 

 

Police in safety vest are searching for two robbers

Police officers who wear safety vest are searching for a pair of men who, on the 30th of June, overwhelmed two games in a few dozen minutes. According to new information, it is about Joseph K. and Peter V., who may be responsible for other robberies outside the capital. Police spokeswoman Andrea said on police website. The men, in the case of robberies in the games, threatened the service with firearms, then tied it and took tens of thousands of crowns from the safes. They are threatened with up to ten years in prison.

 

Both men are searched at the age of 40 and speak Czech without accent. One of them was about 170 to 180 centimeters high and had dark eyes. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and blue trousers carrying a brown bag over his shoulder. The other was 185 centimeters tall and had black short hair. He was dressed in a blue jacket and gray sweatpants that had reflective ribbons on his calves. He had a light cap on his head, around his waist.

 

The men first defeated at about 7:30 in Prague 4, and the other had been attacked before 8:30 pm in Armoire Street in Prague 2. In the assaults no one was injured. “Investigation has shown that this pair of rapists may be responsible for other robberies outside the metropolis,” Zola said.

 

Criminologists therefore ask for further potential victims or witnesses who have come in contact with them and can provide any information about their current residence to call emergency number 158. The police in reflective vest have warned earlier that people should not try to detain themselves.

The police in safety vest patrol the dangerous places

Police in safety vest are surveillance on some roads, but also the removal of dangerous sites on roads where marking should be improved. This is planned by traffic police this year. Places of serious accidents have already been checked by police experts over 600, some have already proposed measures.

 

Police traffic engineers surveyed 607 places where fatal accidents last year. In 42 cases, they proposed measures to prevent or at least mitigate the consequences of accidents. Police officers will continue this year’s inspections, also focusing on places where the drivers themselves warn them.

 

“We are trying to make these places safer if we find that their condition could have an impact on the accident or its consequences,” said Tomas, head of traffic police. Traffic police officers suggest wearing a reflective vest to keep safety, for example, renewing or changing the markings to guide the driver, for example, when crossing the junction.

“It’s about making the security elements so-called forgiving. That is, when the driver makes a mistake to prevent serious consequences, such as getting out of the road and hitting a tight hurdle, “Letch said.

 

Police officers also deal with drivers’ suggestions when typing dangerous sites. So far, unfortunately, there is no uniform system where drivers can report their traffic signs. That may change. “We are talking about a systemic measure with the BESIP department that would create a uniform application,” said the head of the traffic police. Already now, police say they deal with every stimulus they get.

 

In 2015, traffic engineers detected 11,288 faults on road signs. They also checked about 1,500 rail crossings where they found 755 things that could improve. “Of course, we check whether these defects are removed,” Letch assured. Most of the reported bugs the communications manager managed to remove.

Increased security on major sections of motorways, expressways and some first-class roads is also to be assisted by ongoing police surveillance. “We want to establish communications where regular police surveillance will be the rule,” said deputy police president Martin. In addition, there are also no hidden patrols, including fifty new civilian cars equipped with measuring technology.

 

In addition to improving traffic signs and repression, traffic police will arrive this year with several preventive actions. For example, pedestrians will give out reflective tapes that will increase their visibility in poor lighting conditions, drivers and bikers present at major events will offer again.

Last year, police executed 1,664 preventative-security control actions. They found nearly 3,000 cases when the driver ate alcohol, and 854 people were driving under the influence of narcotics. During the inspections, 24 stolen vehicles were found; in almost 580 cases, a man without a valid driver was sitting behind the wheel.

Without reflective vests do not go abroad

When traveling to France, we need a tester of alcohol in the car. But if we do not have it, the police wear safety vest will not give us a fine for a large discussion. This is one of the many differences in regulations in individual European countries. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to these differences before and before the journey. For other misdemeanors we will get the fine.

 

Virtually all countries should have a warning vest in the car, for everyone in the car, extra hand and not in the trunk under the luggage. But in a number of countries, we also have something extra in the car. “Fire extinguishers can ask for us in Poland, but it is usual in southern countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and so on. As for some specialists, in Spain, if you use dipodic glasses, you can be fined for not having a substitute, “says Igor of ÚAMK.

 

In all the countries where we usually go, we have to make a phone call behind the hands free, but according to Peter Womack there is no hand free like hands free. “If we go to Greece, the hands free earphone set is not allowed via Bluetooth, but only fixed in the vehicle. So if we have hands free in our ear, it’s taken as if we were using a normal phone. ”

 

Different rules also apply to daytime running lights, and here are the technical regulations. “In the case of daytime running lights, the tail lights must be lit in Hungary. So the red lights must shine with those LEDs we’ve done. This does not apply to vehicles equipped with reflective clothing and daytime running lights already at the factory, “says Petro.

 

We will also have the appropriate equipment for any evening walks on the holiday site. “In the European Union there is a newly introduced duty to wear reflective elements outside the built-up area as a pedestrian and for reduced visibility. For example, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and other countries are preparing for it.

 

As a matter of fact, reflective tapes are enough; we do not have to walk around the sea directly in reflective vests. Different rules await bikers in many countries. “For example, in Bulgaria, bikers have to wear a reflective vest. In France, a helmet with reflective elements is needed, a first-aid kit in Austria. It must be packed against dust, “he explains.

 

For example, in popular Croatia and other countries it is forbidden to transport children under the age of 12 on a motorcycle, and especially a moped. And then it pays off to look at the obvious thing – speed limits. Ordinary tolerance by Igor Sired, plus ten, is no longer the case. “It mostly worked, but unfortunately no longer, so Austria, for example, very strictly announced that it would tolerate plus five and no more. Well, it’s not just Austria. “And generally, we’ll get a fine of 30 to 40 Euros for a slight overrun.

Confusion around reflective vests for cars

Not so long ago, the motoring public outraged obligation to change the content of these chests, even if it has not been used in any part of them. While experts said that some medical materials have a much longer life than what is declared on the roster. Most drivers take at least this provision as waste.

 

This week, some news sites Nozzle-beating range of drivers with information about the need to replace the mandatory reflective vests for new ones, according to new EU regulations. Then it but responded Transport Minister Dan stream with a simple statement: Drivers may not change reflective vests equipped vehicles.

 

“Protective vests properties that corresponded to the earlier European standard EN 471 are sufficient safety and meet the technical requirements. So I would like to reassure motorists clearly that they do not throw away the vest that you made earlier and not have to buy new ones,” say Dan.

 

Requirement meet the new standard EN ISO 20471 according to the authority applies only to manufacturers, who market the new vests. “We’re the new ones or do not have, but we do not sell anything that does not pay,” said a saleswoman at a gas station Devin under the new bridge, where the editors newspaper tried to buy a new safety vest.

 

People in buying a new reflective vest in any case must now check the label, and whether it conforms to the European standard. Old standard EN 471 is no longer valid.

 

Waistcoat intended mandatory equipment for motor vehicles according to applicable regulations, it is the one that is marked by EN ISO 20471: 2013 and is described on the four-digit identification number of the Notified Body that it tested.

 

According to available information, the “old” vests according to EN 471 were to be resold for cyclists and pedestrians, but the product must be removed the name “Waistcoat” and indicate that this is high visibility clothing. While vest according to the old standard cost around thirty crowns vest according to the new decree will come to around sixty crowns.

 

The new decree brings many surprises and controversies such as the recent controversy surrounding the right of way at roundabouts. Warning vests may not be far from the last.

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.

 

We mapped what the Czech army is doing. Take a look at the Tetra of all types, Pandora, tanks and hovercraft. We mapped what the Czech army is doing. Take a look at Tetra of all types, Pandora, tanks and hovercraft

 

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.

 

The trade unions, according, strive to establish a working group in co-operation with the regions and the government, which would develop a unified methodology according to which the regions would issue public bus transport competitions. Tenders should be one of the essential conditions for keeping a minimum wage for drivers.

 

Dealers require that the lowest wage of drivers in the form of 1.75 times the minimum wage be enforced directly in the award of contracts. It corresponds to 100 crowns per hour. For example, bus drivers in Jawbones take 72 crowns per hour according to the Kolchak, while they earn about 22,000 to 23,000 crowns a month, but only at the price of dozens of overtime hours.

 

According to the CTK survey, drivers’ wages in most Czech transport companies are below average wages. Professionals are also asking for job revisions where the lowest price was the only criterion, and call for dialogue at the level of the union, regional authorities and management.

 

Even now, regions can be selected according to criteria other than the price, said Tomah Enfold, spokesman for the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry and the trade union representatives will continue to act on the adjustment of the selection methodology. At the same time, he said that it was not the Ministry of Transport, who set up specific tenders for the operation of individual bus lines, but the region.

 

In addition to the Ministry of Transport, the trade unionists in safety vest also want to address the Ministry for Regional Development, which is in charge of public tenders. The thunder in the eye is especially for the drivers of the public bus tender, which was announced by the Hradec Region in September.

 

The customized documentation for CZK 5.5 billion is an extensive work where precise specifications are available. “But there is no talk of how much the driver has to pay a minimum wage, and it has been that we have paid a wage of 120 crowns to us, which is scandalous to me, forcing someone to earn only so much, but do not think that I do not have to go home for the beggars, I find it very arrogant from the Councilors from the Hradec Region, “he added.

Police handed out reflective vests to drivers

The Kutenai policemen joined the action police headquarters, which is aimed at raising the visibility of motorists. As part of preventive controls traffic on the road between the village and the town Tributaries Kutenai on Tuesday to talk with the driver about the visibility and handed them reflective vests.

 

Reflective vests are designed for emergencies on the road. If the driver in solving technical defect or a traffic accident rises outside of the village on the road, they must always wear a reflective safety vest, which is required to be in the vehicle. A joint preventive action of the Czech Police and the Czech Office of Insurers not only aims to remind drivers that obligation, but also to draw attention to the safety of the entire crew vehicles and vehicles equipped with reflective vests passenger.

 

Reduced visibility when a road user clearly does not recognize vehicles, people, animals or objects on the road from dusk to dawn, fog, snowfall or heavy rain, the moment when there are accidents with often tragic consequences for health and life.

 

Drivers and cyclists have a legal duty to shine. Pedestrians then its visibility can greatly increase the use of reflective or fluorescent clothing parts and accessories. While pedestrian dressed in dark clothing is visible to the driver at only 18 meters road user reflective clothing is visible up to 200 meters. Maneuvering space for the driver in this case is considerably higher and the probability of collision with a pedestrian decreases significantly.
