Put on safety vest to reduce possible accident

From the new traffic law into force, on 1 July 2011 until 19 August this year, a total of 555 road accidents happened cyclists with safety vest, they killed 24 and injured 522 bicyclists. It also had the participation of cyclists in traffic accidents happened injured 15 pedestrians, bicycle riders and one of three co-skater.
During this time, the unregulated pedestrian crossings and traffic lights regulated happened 53 cyclists crossing accident 16. Crossings have been killed during this period, two cyclists, one regulated and one unregulated pedestrian crossing traffic lights.
Most accidents happen cyclists in the usual way; such accidents have happened three years 268. Signalized intersections regulated by the cyclists happened 147 traffic lights controlled intersections 32, 20 intersections, traffic signs, bicycle path crossing another road and public transport stops 16 in three accidents.
Police and Border Guard police said Police Commissioner Rhino Tamaki cyclists often forget that they are not driving on pedestrian crossings over the right of way.
“Although the road users seem to know their rights and use them, it often forgets rights come responsibilities. However, the rider must give way to a pedestrian crossing on the vehicle and make sure it’s safe. As a result of the collision, the victim is always the weaker side of the road traffic regulation and thoughtfulness to prevent incidents, “said Tanoak.
Police and Border Guard Board have noted that, following the entry into force of amendments to the Road Traffic Act, which allows cyclists on pavements, pedestrians are frequent clashes between the rider and the sidewalk.
“Traffic Act has indeed provided the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian walking path of the rider to ride at the same speed and must not endanger pedestrians, alas, it sees a pedestrian moving at the same speed of cyclists pretty rare,” said Tanoak.
He said that road safety is undoubtedly the key to all traffic participants in cooperation with each other, and the sighting. Positive Tamaki has said that the bicycle is becoming a routine traffic picture, which they counted, and they are noticed.
«Noticing the side, but the riders themselves can do so much, using vivid colors of clothes, darkest time of reflective vests and bike lights. Wearing a helmet could be more elementary than annoying habit of responsibility, since the helmet may save people in case of an accident or a fall of more severe injuries. It is also basic security equipment and careful rider acting as a model for the children, who often take over an adult pattern of behavior, “said Tanoak.
He added that it is definitely safe cycling culture in shaping a major role in the cycling-related infrastructure. Tamaki rider himself has said that the traffic safely and securely with ease, certainty, however, should not thereby be transferred to squander uljusele.
Cyclists will provide an understanding of the security of the traffic rules, the rules applicable knowledge and understanding of other road users’ behavior and taking them into account. It is also essential to the existence of bike paths and lanes, which would encourage the right place and properly operate, “said Tanoak.
This year, 126 traffic accidents happened rider injured 125 and killed one rider. Last year, at the same time dismissed the accidents of life six and wounded 110 cyclists with reflective vest.

 

Children and traffic – every age group has its own problems

As of today, 208 injured in traffic less than 18 years of age, and killed the two girls, both of whom were in a car accident at the passengers. Roughly divided into accidents so that half of the children will be injured passengers, the rest either pedestrian or driving any kind of device manager. These accidents where the child is himself an active role as decision makers, as well as a sense of culpability divided almost in half, and slightly more than half the cases, a child is injured in the accident.
Aside from the young fellow a passenger involved in the accident, the traffic, the children are the most error as foot passengers. It is quite logical that most have trouble crossing the road situation, precisely because in this situation, get into cars and so-called children of the same level. The driver’s side here is ensuring the road safety of the first rule of a reasonable driving speed of their locations in the vicinity of the road where the kids can get into. Individuals should be able to notice the warning signs, and not only the traffic signs. For example, a dog noticing the road and go through the head the idea that somewhere in the vicinity can also be a boy or a girl who goes along with the so-called dog.
Basically, you can prevent many childhood accidents for pedestrians with safety vest contribute to keeping anyone who travels on foot. In order to is a good example to show them and, if necessary, intervene simply pointing out the mistakes of others. Troll came down from the bunch meeterviiekümnene character still the second row, and in the worst case will not even see the traffic light. If a bunch of adults hasty ban on the fire despite the move begins, goes a little person unwittingly by them and promising to fire the approaching speed of the car, he did not even think about. The next traffic light is reaching back; however, he had already learned to go when you can, not when you had permits.
Ranked follows the young cyclists happened in road traffic accidents, which this year has been 28 doing shows in the last 12 months of accident analysis to pedestrian accidents, the age group 6-9 and older have less than that, and then the bicycle accidents are going to more frequent just 10 years of age upwards. Biking to help prevent traffic accidents in the rules of the knowledge, skill and proficiency in other drivers of two-wheeled chair. It is also worthwhile to prepare for the worst, and always use a helmet that is under 16 years of age and the mandatory reflective vest, which makes the rider a much more significant. The new traffic law, the possibility of wheel to use the crossing to be approached with extreme caution, however, because unlike the cyclists from pedestrians are not the prerogative of the zebra. More often sees urban traffic also unacceptable picture of a cyclist behaves according to the traffic light or other traffic conditions, when the driver once, when a pedestrian, and only as a last option, the driver defaulting cyclist.

Increasingly, parents give children with reflective clothing in road accidents in the shade of the young moped riders. Highways Agency 12-month analysis shows that nearly a hundred moped accident happened in the 40s moped drivers were under 18 years old. In 2011, in the latest accident, 22, and 13 of them have happened to a young moped driver’s fault. When it came to mopeds related laws in terms of a large gray area, it entered into force in July traffic law is here brought some clarity, and perhaps starts to spread the notion that the controller is actually the same as a car ride. Also, these driver requirements are not something a lot more lenient or less important. In any case, it should be remembered something that might be called eksponentvõrrandiks security – the higher the speed and the driver has less baggage of knowledge and experience, it should be cautious.
Uljust and team spirit does not seem out of the young people are not crying, asking or threatening. Enough only for the clarification and general understanding that the traffic violation is not cool, and do not pop or get yourself a youthful mistake in traffic or cause serious trauma to a friend. A colleague, Raul ROM from the Road Administration has said that although the bad circumstances coincide, the accident is inevitable; they are not necessarily the facts. And precisely these “facts” we must avoid the appearance.

Winter tire: equip yourself with reflective vest

Winter time, it also concerns the automotive and pedestrians. We must equip!
Winter time, it’s not good news for motorists in safety vest. The roads are slippery, the densest fog, night hours more numerous. In cities like on the roads, it is the pedestrian who first suffer the consequences of winter time.

Last year in November, 62 pedestrians were killed including 46 at night, so that in the spring there were 10 killed overnight

The precautions are simple: when you are walking, check several times before crossing and do it in crosswalks on the road, walk on the side facing the headlights, that is to say, left the road, preferably with light colors.
Friendly, retro-reflective vest is mandatory, and it should be for skates, scooters and skateboards are often on the road with no lighting.
For motorists, check and clean your headlights, fill your washer fluid with antifreeze and change the brushes every year. Also check if your fan is enough to defog your windscreen.

In winter the main thing is to see and be seen

As for the grip on the road, we know that, like chewing gum, the colder it is, the gum is less elastic and adherent. Because the rubber of winter tire does not harden when it is cold, its cobblestones adhere well to the snow and the water drains better when it rains. Besides winter tires are mandatory in many countries of Europe, from Scandinavia to northern Italy via Germany, Switzerland and the Balkans. Not in France, but the French motorists who travel to the countries mentioned must equip. Besides, more and more motorists in clothing made with reflective fabric are aware that winter tires are an effective solution, 72% according to a survey by Alones, the French leader in Internet sales. This is 10% more than last year. And they are 66% to consider that, in one way or another; the equipment should be made compulsory. Moreover, when asked, 35% said they will fit. But it is often wishful thinking since the sale of winter tires is between 13 and 17% of the market.

What hinders buyers? The price first, the practical constraints such as the storage of summer tires

Three arguments that deny the reality today because merchants like Euro master can store your tires after having changed, and that a site like Alone proposes to come and change tires, four on your car without you were moving. This is also the case of 123 tires.
But the emergence of tires any time will perhaps dispel prejudices. Michelin released their Cross climate, a tire that combines the benefits of winter tires, the grip, comfort and the holding of the summer tire.
And all other brands have their tires 4 seasons. Still, in mountain regions, a winter tire will be more and more effective in snow and ice. But if you equip yourself, do not expect the first snowflakes.

On the way to school, 75% of parents are careless

Do what I say not what I do. “This classical education is unfortunately also applies to learning good road safety actions according to a survey Opinion Way commissioned by the insurance group Insurers prevention. In this new study, 75% of parents with safety vest surveyed admit to having had a risk behavior in the street, in school or extracurricular trips, in the presence of their children.
“People lack of vigilance on the road, said Nicolas Moreau, President of Insurers prevention. September is the time to make resolutions and set the example for his children. ”
Especially since the imprudence of consequences can be dramatic. In the past five years, it is 2500 pedestrians were killed. Because they are smaller and less visible to drivers, because they are not always aware of the risks, children are particularly vulnerable. In 2012 and 36 young pedestrians fewer than 15 were killed and nearly 2,500 were injured.
The Insurers prevention study shines a spotlight on the dangers of mobile which most cannot manage to win. Even accompanying their children, 58% of parents and already market their ear phone, 42% send or read their text messages and 23% in their eyes on the screen of the damn machine to check apps or games. It is a new risk behavior that emerges from five years falls insurers. “In everyday life we ​​are not necessarily aware of the dangers of these behaviors,” says Nicolas Moreau. The proof, when mom and dad again become hen entrust their precious offspring with a third on the way to school, they are only 14% and consultant to the nurse or grandparents to drop their phone!
Yet, and this is another lesson of the study, when they entrust their toddler to a third party, the French are much more anxious. 54% of them give advice on safety rules. But six out of ten parents cannot provide the daily journey to the temple of knowledge. And among the councils, the vast majority (64%) recommends not cross with their little one on the crosswalks, they are nevertheless more than half (54%) do not always follow. Parents with reflective element also advocate a majority (52%) to walk on the sidewalk, while over a third (37%) admit sometimes walk on the floor holding their child’s hand.
Surprisingly, the study also reveals that the French are first trust their families for school and extracurricular trips. Not surprisingly, they are more likely to be reassured when their treasure entrusted to grandparents (50%) more than the nurse (13%). Even siblings, often children, have parental preference.
Explain, educational way, the rules to be observed as borrow pedestrian crossings; cross when the “little guy” is green; not to run, etc.
In the city, more of a pedestrian killed in three easts on regulatory white stripes!
As long as the children have not mastered the rules of caution, watch for them and accompany them.
Lead by example! Children mimic the behavior of their parents.
Make your little visible. Grab them with a backpack or satchel with reflective strips and dress them with light. At night, they will be identified and over 150 m instead of 30 m. namely, the months from November to February are particularly deadly for pedestrians, mainly because of poor visibility … while in car and motorbike, its summer, which presents more risk.
Study insurers Prevention The way to school, September 2014 conducted among a sample of 1009 meets representative of the French population.

Training outside with your safety vest

Winter racing is gaining popularity. For this to be nice, choose appropriate clothing and accessories is essential.
According runner Pierre Reveille, who participated in the 1984 Olympic Games, one of the most important rules concerning the holding of a winter runner is primarily to avoid cotton. “Cotton absorbs water, keeps moisture and rubbed on the body. It is much more comfortable with merino wool garments, a high-performance natural fiber or synthetic fibers, “explains Reveille, now coach and owner of the shop Endurance. A safety vest preference is three layers: basic, intermediate and shell.
How to know if you’re dressed too? “Once outside, if the rider is not afraid before starting his training is that his clothing is not suitable for the current temperature. Inevitably, in the effort, it will be too hot. ”
Someone who was introduced to the race and wishing to equip themselves from head to feet in winter must provide a budget of approximately $ 500.
For shoes, the marathon runner suggests three options: cleats, shoes Gore-Tex (a waterproof and windproof) or shoes four seasons and ventilated, which require good socks. Removable crampons may be required when the surfaces are very icy. “Cleats or not is really a matter of personal choice,” said Pierre Reveille. Merino wool socks with pads are preferred.

For hands and head, it is better to keep some options. One can start the race with gloves that are covered with mittens, a hat and a hood that is worn in combination. In the effort, when body heat takes over the cold, the rider can remove a layer. There are also convertible gloves with fingers covering to protect from the wind.
“We must remember that we must run face vehicle and not the reverse,” insists Mr. Reveille. And although most of running clothes have reflective tape, it is important to bring a flashing element to attract the attention of motorists. In winter, as the daylight period is shortened, the rider must ensure that it is visible at all times.
Mr. Léveillé recommend taking a coat lightest windproof possible and to instead work with the lower layers “Too thick and insulating shell will only be useful for a few weeks in the year as if the rider opts for a light shell windproof well, he can use at least three seasons, provided he carries basic and intermediate layers well suited to the climate. This is a better investment. ”
The first two layers, basic and intermediate, must be adjusted to the body, allow air circulation and be adapted to the intensity of the effort of the rider. Given their high price and the many opportunities in the market, the advice of a specialist is recommended to ensure adequate buy reflective clothing.
Winter challenges abound in Quebec, and the offer meets the aspirations of runners of all levels as well as families. To facilitate the selection of one or more challenges in running the Courir.org site offers a calendar those groups. Fancy a first race this winter?

Let safety vest to protect our children

As we know the School buses, where yellow safety vest and looping the belt are not systematic for young people were particularly targeted.
She does not beat around the bush, Larsonneur Dominique Morel, county councilor in charge of road safety, when it is for teenagers. “You’re too young to die!” She insists. That’s what it reminded gently but with conviction, in school transport buses at the entrance of Saint-Lô, Tuesday, February 23 in the early morning. Olivier Marion, Chief of Staff of the Prefect, she wanted to educate young people about the importance of coating the yellow vests with reflective stripe from home and fasten safety belts in cars.
Operation verification officers
As for the police, partners in the operation, they carefully checked the papers of the vehicles presented by drivers of cars and the tires. Hubert Jove, road safety coordinator in the English Channel, was also there to share with other players in this prevention device. You should know that, now and in recent months, the school transport buses in the English Channel are equipped with systems conditioning breathalyzer vehicle start. They are about 400 school buses plying every day the roads of the Manchu department.
The belt must shut up!
The adoption of the yellow reflective vest and buckle the belts in cars are not yet systematic for all adolescents, but with the return of good practices, it could become a reflex. It is since 1973 that the use of seat belts in automobiles is mandatory in France and initially, it took a lot of educational work and persuasion to make this an obvious habit of putting uphill drive … outside the Channel, the dramas of recent road involving cars – in the Doubs, or in Charente-Maritime – recalled that the accident may occur at any time unfortunately.
