So you do not get in the fall and winter under the wheels

How to get through the often dull autumn and winter time as safe as possible reveals Siegfried Angier from the police.

“In the autumn and winter months, it is particularly dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists,” warns Siegfried Angier, the deputy police district commander. He is responsible for traffic safety issues of the executive branch. “The early twilight, poor visibility, fog, insufficiently lit paths, and unadapted driving lead to many accidents during this time,” says Angier from many years of practical experience in the police service. He knows some important safety tips for the behavior of pedestrians and cyclists in order to get through the autumn and winter months unscathed.

Make yourself visible

“Ideally, you wear light or reflective clothing,” Angier advises. “Reflective bands, safety vests, and the like increase visibility.” Especially with children and adolescents, it is important that they are clearly visible in the traffic through light or reflective clothing which made of reflective fabric.

That’s the way it is in practice

“A dark-clad pedestrian is perceived by a car driver using low-beam lights only from a distance of 25 to 30 meters,” explains Angier. “Light-clad pedestrians, on the other hand, can be seen from about 50 meters, and additional reflective materials can increase visibility to 130 to 160 meters,” he says.

Avoid danger zones

“Even avoiding poorly lit road sections, if there is no proper sidewalk, is advisable,” says Angier. “Using well-lit junctions where pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles are easily recognizable is essential.”

Also, make the bike fit

Aligner’s final suggestion: “By the way, like his car, you should make your bike winter-ready before you ride it, especially lights, reflectors, brakes, and tires.”

Presentation of fluorescent vests to middle school students

The county council gives fluorescent vests to college students to be better pedestrians, cyclists or waiting for the bus in the evening and morning.

Jean-Paul and Marie-Claire Malraux, departmental councilors, the young departmental counselor, to give the vests to the students of the college. It is in the presence of the principal Alain and his assistant Benedict that the young people tried the vests with reflective materials.

Since its creation in 1992, the departmental youth council has undertaken several projects dealing with road safety. The idea is to alert college students to the need to wear a retro reflective safety vest to be visible in all circumstances day and night.

Thus, 5000 yellow vests were distributed to the students of the 42 public and private colleges of the Tarn. Three sizes of vests were proposed to allow each student to find the best fit for his size, small, medium and large. The yellow vest which made of reflective fabric saves the life because it is visible to motorists.

Safe on the way to school

Thanks to an initiative of the ADAC Foundation, the way to school for some 90 children at the Max Metzger School will be a little safer.

Bright yellow safety vests

For many years, the bright yellow warning vests, which the automobile club is giving out free of charge to Germany’s youngest schoolchildren at the start of the dark season, have been helping against the poor visibility and road conditions.

In Schopfheim, MSC chairman Karlheinz Renner ted the vests these days. The teacher Regina Hauser received the vest on behalf of all other primary school students and showed on this occasion that they know exactly why they should wear the reflective vests with reflective tapes: “Because we as the motorists as pedestrians or as a bicycle and Scooter drivers are seen much better. ”

Can be seen 120 meters away

In fact, experiments have shown that children in normal street clothes are not seen until ten to twelve meters from the motor vehicles. This is much better with the vest, as Karlheinz Renner emphasized: “The girls and boys wear vests with reflective fabrics can be seen at distances of up to 120 meters.”

It would be worthwhile to cover the jackets, even if they do not necessarily correspond to the current fashion. Parents should turn a blind eye to the safety of their children. And also to further motivate the ADAC to spend the vest. Because it looks like Renner assured: “It will probably have been the last action of this kind in Germany”. The headmaster and teacher think that would be a pity.

Safety vests in every car duty

The safety vest is intended to protect motorists when the vehicle is left lying due to a breakdown or an accident.

The Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) include in each passenger car, truck, bus and in tractor and tractor each a safety vest. This must comply with European standard EN 471. This is indicated by an imprint on the vest or its label. The vest must be yellow, orange or orange-red and have two reflective tapes at the bottom of the front and back. It is generally important that the vest is “retro reflective”, according to the German Traffic Watch Association Kurt, president of the association, explains: “With normal reflection, the light radiates in a different direction – in retro reflective clothing it radiates directly to the Light source back. ” This could be checked with a safety vest, for example, with a flashlight in a darkened room itself.

Safety vests have long been mandatory in many other European countries. This can be important for the upcoming holiday with your own car because who has none or not wearing them, is sometimes sensitive to the cash. An overview of countries and special regulations can be found at TÜV.

According to the German traffic police, over 27 percent of all accidents occur at dusk and darkness, 40 percent of them end in death. If motorists have to leave the car during this time, for example, because of an accident, a bright, reflective safety vest with the reflective fabric can be life-saving, according to traffic experts. And this does not just apply to car drivers. Even motorcyclists or cyclists and pedestrians can protect themselves by wearing a safety vest: About 90 percent of all motorists, according to the German traffic guard, say that they did not see the pedestrian during nighttime collisions.

When it’s fluo

Hunters hunt and the remaining fluo is a mushroom picker. Vesse-de-loup, boletes, chanterelles or chanterelles, whatever …

The vesse is said. The hunter is a wolf for the man. This is demonstrated by the recent fluo that agitates a municipality anxious not to see its citizens fall to the hunting field.

The mushroom picker just has to turn his vesse on the good side … and keep his yellow vest what has reflective tape.

The walker-gatherer silences the Viandard (Boris) who is in him in a “I’ll spit on your hunting in reflective vest” very annoyed.

He remembers hearing that when it’s fuzzy, there’s a wolf.Now when it’s fluo, it’s that there are shots … rifle not far.

From the walker’s point of view: the yellow vest protects absurdly, a yellow bulletproof vest absolutely protects.

To be targeted, you have to be visible. But a neon vest … there’s no better target.

From there to that a hunter dredged by the yellow of his pastis confuses yellow vest and yellow game … here, the discussion on the hunt has reached his point Godwin on the counter, go René, give us that!

The camouflage is not better. Talk to deer antler and boar dress. And if to pass unnoticed, walkers found a way to dress any game of a yellow vest: deer, deer, chamois, fallow deer, pheasant, hare, partridge? We would then know if the hunters are watching before shooting.

Walkers will be helped in this absurd flowering of the vests with reflective fabric. As a sign of rallying, a protest against rising fuels is given a yellow safety vest in sight on the windshield.Bulletproof and windshield even fight.

 

A bit more security for the daily journey to kindergarten and on excursions – that was the goal for the Serviececlub Round Table 32 Regensburg.

At the handing over of a total of 200 neon yellow safety vests with reflective tapes on Monday morning, April 30th, the young Regensburg-based Tabler around President Wolfgang Hirmer conjured up a big smile on the bright faces of the girls and boys in the children’s family house St. Elisabeth Kareth. Bernadette Heiß, the director of the day care center, happily reports on the great excitement and excitement among the kids before the donation of a total of 200 safety vests for the 180 children.

“Our aim is to increase the safety of children on excursions”, said the current RT32 President Wolfgang Hirmer. Following the handover of the neon yellow safety vests with round-table logo, the children thanked the present panel with the presentation of some songs. As part of their national service project “RT KiTa Pate” many Tabler donate safety vests and warning signs in Germany to children’s education institutions and thus contribute to the sensitization of the Gafahren in the participation of children on the road. The purchase of the safety vests funds the 220 local round tables through donations and hands-on campaigns. “The handover and gratitude of the children was so positive and joyful that I never expected. So elated and with such a happy feeling, I rarely went to work on Monday morning! “Says Thomas Neiswirth, Vice President of RT 32, after handing over the presents to the Kareth children in the morning. Just worn over the clothes, they do not just look great.

Above all, they make the small even in the dark at a great distance clearly visible. A big plus for avoiding road accidents. Especially for children: “visibility = safety” The neon yellow vests look small and simple, but they do a lot. Made of lightweight material, they do not hinder children from playing, they fit in every kindergarten bag and are easy to pull over jacket or backpack. Their reflective fabrics also make it possible for the children to be much more visible in traffic.

You are visible

A reflective tour of the province is underway. Today, the students of General Education School district received reflections.

This is another edition of the “You are visible. You are safe” campaign, organized by the Provincial Road Traffic Center in Radom and the Marshal’s Office. Over 120 students of grades I-VII received reflective elements. They had the opportunity to practice their skills on a bicycle obstacle course. They also familiarized themselves with the rules of first aid and safety in road traffic.

“Today, children got sets with four reflective tapes. These are two wristbands that can be put on your arm, leg and two pendants, which you can attach to your backpack or keys,” said Tomasz of the Marshal’s Office.

“In addition to education, safety, and health in the first place. This campaign should be promoted by all schools to make young people aware that safety is the most important thing for their lives,” said Joana, director of the ZSO.

“Every action that will save human life is the most important one. If any visible and visible reflection allows the car not to enter only one person, then it is already a success,” said the councilor of Masovian regional council.

The police and fire brigade were also involved in the reflective action.

“Reflectors are very important, especially important among the youngest ones. There are no sidewalks in this area, which also significantly affects safety. In addition, now it is not clear enough yet when children go to school, so they will be able to use these reflections for their safety as much as possible.” remarked communist Agnieszka, a press officer of the Police Headquarters.

WORD Director Radius is used to several “reflective” trips a week, but he also sees the effects. The campaign is bearing fruit. “It’s getting better. First of all, it is caused not so much by fashion, but by producers and clothing and those reflections that go with the times. It is no longer like one type of hangers, one color. Various elements are produced from hangers, bangles, reflective vests, though even toys, mascots, bags which made with  and it is more and more visible on the streets. This is also visible among people who actively play sports. We start to look after our own safety.” said Radius.

Safety action

A nationwide campaign “Good to see you” was inaugurated.

“Your parents have such a dilemma, they are proud that you are more and more independent, but this greater independence is accompanied by anxiety for your safety,” said Zbigniew to the students of the General Education School. The Minister of Justice came to Konia on August 15 together with the Minister of Education Anna to inaugurate the nationwide educational campaign “Good to see you”.

The aim of the action is to improve the safety of children on their way to school. It is a joint undertaking of the justice and education departments, under which 3 million children will receive reflective vests. The first reflections went to school. “We are proud to be here.” Minister Anna said.

In addition to a couple of ministers, Cezary Pazura also came to school. “Safe means visible. Someone who is visible on the road is also more secure.” he told children, the actor who is the face of the “Good to see you” campaign.

“Unfortunately, people are still dying on Polish roads. It happens that children who do not have proper marking are also killed. The campaign is to encourage the wearing of safety clothing. Every child in Poland will receive such a reflective vest with reflective fabric so that it can be seen after dark” explains Michal Woe, the representative of the Minister of Justice for the Justice Fund.

Parents are adults who bear the greatest responsibility for child safety

The main priority in the activities of the Romanian Police, the safety of minors depends largely on the care, concern, and involvement of parents in the child’s life.

 

“As parents are the adults most responsible for the safety of children, we recommend that they take into account the following tips:

 

Set the child a safe and secure way to school, from which he will not turn away;

 

Teach it the basic rules for road traffic: to run only on the sidewalk, and in its absence, to run on the left side of the road; to cross the green traffic lights only, and in the absence of traffic light, ensure a good left-right before crossing the pedestrian crossing; to know the meaning of light signals and road signs;

 

Explain that on their way to school, they do not have to run or get off the pavement on the road;

 

Make it visible in traffic. Mount reflective materials on the baby’s desk or reflective fabrics on their clothes;

 

When transporting children in the car, use them with the seat belt. Carry it too, the power of the example is the easiest and most effective education;

 

Warn them not to respond to suggestions from the strangers who offer them transportation by car or various products;

 

When cycling, equip it with protective helmets and reflective vests; remind him to cross the road beside the bicycle on the pedestrian crossing;

 

Encourage him/her to seek help from police officers on the street when he/she does not feel safe.”Policemen are friends of the children, “says Elena Welter, spokesperson for IJP Sibiu.

Yellow vests invite you

It is in the presence of Didier Pierre (deputy mayor and volunteer in the association), Cathy (assistant in charge of school affairs), director Jean-Philippe Laverne and teachers of the school that the League against road violence, in the person of its president Christiana Pinot, was invited to Pierre-Peel school last Friday. The objective of this meeting was to make young schoolchildren aware of this plague by offering them a yellow safety vest, retro-reflective material.

 

Thus, 170 yellow children vests and 20 adult vests were distributed. “By this action, we want to awaken young people’s awareness of road violence and try to make them responsible citizens…”, says Ch.

 

These vests with reflective fabrics, which will remain at school, will protect children during out-of-school trips and school outings. They will allow them to be seen and protected from vehicles when they are on foot but also when they are cycling.

 

Remember also that the helmet is also mandatory for children under 12, since March 22…
