Anyone who has a car breakdown, should not act headless. From July 1, motorists need to think in Germany in addition to a safety vest. Read here, where there is the overcoat, where they are kept and when to put it.

From July 2014, high visibility vest compulsory in Germany. As is common even in many European countries, a safety vest in yellow or orange fluorescent paint must then be present in this country in all vehicles. Only motorcycles and scooters are exempt from this requirement.
That is why the west-duty comes
If a breakdown or accident the shining piece of fabric increases its own security enormously. Who wears a safety vest, is five times perceived earlier. Especially when setting up the warning triangle, when changing tires or on the way to Notrufsäule is no luminous vest a significantly higher risk of being overlooked – especially in the dark.

So she must look

In addition, completely encircling and at least five centimeters wide reflective stripes and a Velcro are required. To check whether the vest complies with the standard, you can on the wash plate (the West are washable at 30 degrees) nachgucken. There should be only EN 471st

Here is what needs to be done step by step in case of breakdown.

 

Safety vest – need to know what drivers

Violations Reflective vest are an offense and can be punished by the police with a fine of 15 euros.
They are usually bright orange or yellow, and should ensure that disembarking passengers are perceived by other road users earlier and better at a breakdown or accident. This refers to the so-called safety vests. Many motorists had already voluntarily lying in the vehicle, since July 1, the legislature writes them as mandatory. The Arag experts explain what the warning vest compulsory for German motorists actually means and what to consider when the issue in summer leads to other European countries.
A safety vest for each car
The necessary legislative amendments has decided already last summer, the Federal Council, but they apply only from 1 July, 2014. . According to § 53 para 2 No 3 of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations – short. StVZO – must at the latest in each vehicle a safety vest to be present. For commercial vehicles, this was already prescribed by the competent professional association. The new standard requires all cars, trucks and buses are now affected; only for motorcyclists, the rule does not apply.
Carrying or wearing?

Unlike in some other European countries, it is sufficient for the wording of the law from but that a safety vest “carried” is. This means that it is not required, the vest when leaving the vehicle to actually wear. In addition, a vest per vehicle is sufficient, even if a ride several inmates. In order in the case of the case to increase the safety for all occupants, recommend ARAG experts nevertheless, sufficient safety vests for all passengers – close to hand – carried and this also to attract before the car is left in case of breakdown.
fines threatens
The vests are required by law to DIN EN ISO 20471 or the – now detached from this standard – EN 471 match, which means that they will be held among others in yellow or orange tones, are required to have reflective strips. Violations Reflective Jackets are an offense and can be punished by the police with a fine of 15 euros.
Rules abroad
While the safety vest in the car with us is only required now, other European countries have appropriate regulations nice long introduced. The rules are often even stricter than in Germany: Some states require that every time you leave the vehicle after an accident or breakdown, a safety vest is applied, other write additional carrying requirement before. When traveling, for example, in Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Hungary, Bulgaria, Belgium and Luxembourg, it is mandatory wearing a safety vest when he leaves his vehicle outside built at a breakdown or accident. Countries such as Norway, France, Austria, Portugal, Croatia and Slovakia mind seeing a dual obligation before: The car must always be equipped with a safety vest and these must be worn in case of emergency.
Partial heavy fines
Infringement of the Jackets with reflective tape are abroad also usually much more expensive than ours: Thus, in Italy at least 38 euros and in Luxembourg, at least 49 € will be charged. In Bulgaria there are 25 euros and in Spain up to 90 euros. But most require Portugal and Belgium: Here are the worst case up to 1,375 euros (in Belgium) or up to 600 euro (in Portugal, but only for vehicles registered there) to pay. Summer travelers recommend Arag experts therefore, in good time before a start of the holiday to learn about the regulations prevailing in the holiday country provisions and – also due to hold – for reasons of personal safety.

Wildlife accidents – risk rises again

Braunschweig. The spring weather attracts not only people in the verdant nature, but can also wild boar, deer and foxes and hares are active. Not only where warning signs or reflective vest are now increasing the risk of accidents involving animals, when the animals cross in search of fresh grass or new districts roads or highways.
In 2015, the police Braunschweig were reported in the urban area 89 accidents with wildlife. There were also 14 other animals (eg, dogs and cats). Police spokesman Wolfgang Klages said, so make the Wild accidents only about 1 percent of the total number of accidents from. It will however not be displayed each case to the police. Especially on the highways around Braunschweig and the slightly more rural areas of the city, special caution was called for. In Tempo 60 rebounds a small buck with a force of about one ton on the vehicle. In a full-blown red deer there are even almost five tons – equivalent to the weight of an elephant.
driving foresight
Especially in the morning hours and at dusk you should now pay particular attention, foresight and a little slow down and keep both roadsides good eye, advises the police. At night you should as often as possible drive with high beam, because the light cones act the eyes of animals, such as reflective tape and a potential hazard can be seen earlier. If animals show up in the spotlight, you should dim, so they do not slip through the light. Short horn can scare away the animals. In addition: An animal Hazzard. For a single deer at the roadside necessarily slow down – the rest of the group is certainly not far away.
The correct response
If there is an accident, the driver’s reaction is especially important to keep the consequences as much as possible. In no case should the animal to avoid. In an evasive maneuver the car may skidded. One runs the risk of falling off the road or into oncoming traffic. Therefore: If an animal on the road emerges rapidly decelerate, stop down where appropriate and horns short. If the game does not run away and a collision is unavoidable, the driver should stop and try to keep track of the steering wheel calmly and firmly – despite all the love of animals. The risk of injury is significantly less for the driver and other road users.
Report the accident and document
As with other accidents, it is important then to secure the accident site: turn hazard lights, put the safety vest and place the warning triangle. In addition, the accident reporting obligation applies to the police: Who does not report the collision with an animal, even if the animal has survived him, committing a hit and run. The police agreed to competent hunter who looks after the animal approached. Damage to the car, it is also useful to document the damage for insurance, the police advises on.

Senior Citizens informed about progress on Hospital / WLAN for patients

Bückeburg / Vehlen. That the total Klinikum Schaumburg takes shape, it could convince a tour now members of the Senior Citizens Bückeburg. Constructional-technical one is the “green zone”, said Dr. Achim Rogge, the CEO of hospital project company. According to schedule, the hospital is scheduled to open in Q1 2017th
In the Vehler Feldmark prevails on this day bustle: As soon as the group dodged a truck, already comes the next, a thick cloud of dust in his luggage. It’s hectic when to “largest new hospital in Lower Saxony”, as Rogge called the emerging colossus here. But before the “inspection” is security: Every visitor gets a high visibility safety vest and a helmet – in “XXL” and “college” as a project manager Iris Kruse-Faulhaber notes grin. No: a fashion Price is really not win this collection.
Internal logic facilitates processes
Quite different is because therefore the emerging building. Elegant and almost fluently on one side – logically on the other and functional. Who the underlying structure (all grouped around three cubes around) has once understood, will get along much better in construction, rye is to be understood. Thus, patients are placed above, then comes the “high-care medicine” and finally the “talking medicine”. All this has an inner logic, which should keep the procedures simple and economical.
Another concept that have implemented the planner, is that of “short distances” – a concept that unfolds on both horizontal and vertical level. All three cubes have a private healthcare center – each very close to the elevators. In this way, the adjacent fetching and bringing services may deliver food and supplies quickly and carry away accumulated garbage as fix. Short distances for the doctors about for a cardiologist in reflective vest: This may downstairs keep his office and then reach both his lab (the left heart catheterization laboratory at level 1), as well as internal medicine beds (at levels 2 and 3), no right across having to walk home.
That not everyone is happy about the new total Klinikum, white rye. They asked him repeatedly what was needed a new hospital. “We already three hospitals,” Rogge cited the opponents and stressed that small hospitals are no longer viable. The foundation sees Rogge in the introduction of a flat-rate billing system will be settled at the inpatient hospital treatments on DRGs. Meaning no matter how long a stay, there is always the same amount of money. This weakens the small hospitals “and that is from the political side done by design”. So if a lot of small houses would go bankrupt in the next few years, “it is not because they are bad, but because they cannot meet the requirements of quality management.”
The drawback with the “Quality Management”: “You get the number of operating rooms – for a knee operation, for example, 50 – at a small hospital not together.” And that goes right into the money, such as rye able to report: “One has to 50 breast cancers have one location, otherwise the OP is not paid. “Although the doctors at the small houses are good,” but you see from a disease to few cases “. Only those who often repeat a surgery and have large numbers of cases, which could also get routine Rogge points to a further aspect. Alone, the small hospitals in Bückeburg, Rinteln Stadthagen and could not have regroup.
Then Rogge goes into detail: He talks about the new departments such as neurology and radiology. So far there has been in Schaumburg only a very small Radiology, says Rogge, now there will be a very large: With these devices could a surgeon that “With two high-performance computer tomography, which can also represent moving bodies and a magnetic resonance tomograph-.” OP better plan and perform, Rogge is safe.
Twin Room with View
The new house has 437 beds with reflective tape, divided in double rooms “with a view, as they are rarely”. A telephone is not provided, but each has its own mobile phone may bring. “Due to a fault in the operation, no need to worry,” Rogge can know.
And one more “goodies”, the new total Clinic: a “hospital-Fi”, more precisely, an on-site network that can use all the patients to surf the Internet. For all-round good air a plant, which filters up to 99.97 percent of the suspended particles ensures. Finally, Dr. Rogge participated for progress position: This is “fast”, “here happens at every turn what, the access routes are changing every day.” Constructional was “everything’s alright,” said Rogge: “At the moment, we assume that our time frame is, but the devil is a squirrel.” A critical stage is when the water many kilometers lines will be introduced into the. With the completion of the hospital is in the 4th quarter of 2016, calculated with the move in Q1 2017th

So dressed was the first task for the candidates to eat a currywurst. To increase the difficulty, while one team member had to feed the other.
With his mouth full, we went to the fountain. Here three or more buckets should be filled with water and placed in a wheelbarrow. Where the buckets had to be transported not only on a board. But when transporting the participants should also be sent by rising car tires.
the wheelbarrow of two team members were well filled with water then maneuvered in the slalom for the beer stand.
Here it was to destroy as soon as possible a half liter of beer “on ex”. What most candidates little problems experienced.
Difficult was then emptying the wheelbarrow. Because this much water as possible should reach a relatively small vat. Depending on water levels the teams were withdrawn a few seconds of their actual race time.
At the end of a narrow victory Timo and Josie Pietsch. They received a trophy. However, the other participants with reflective tape in this fun race did not go empty handed. There was, among other things beer keg, a box sangria and an adorable angel hot water bottle as a gift.
