The road accidents increase without safety vest during the transition to winter time

On the occasion of the switch to winter time this weekend, the Delegation for Road Safety and Traffic (DSCR) alerts the road users about the increase in accidents during this period. Especially the people without wearing safety vest. What are the reasons? Are there good reflexes to adopt?

 

This weekend, it will be necessary to reverse the clocks of one hour. But the transition to winter time does not only have consequences on your sleep (with … an hour more on this occasion). According to the Delegation for Road Safety and Traffic (DSCR), there is a peak of accident every year during this period. “Over the past five years, the winter months have been the most dangerous for pedestrians,” says the DSCR.

 

“The peak hours of morning and evening, 7h-10h and 17h-19h, are the most accident in winter,” says the DSCR. Faced with these risks, Road Safety therefore calls on road users to be very careful.

 

The reasons

There are two main reasons for this. Initially, the period of darkness increases at peak hours. The lighting of vehicles and street lights is not powerful enough to allow motorists to distinguish pedestrians without reflective vest. “The one-hour retreat has an important effect on the hours of illumination: night falls earlier in the day, when classes leave or professional end-of-day trips,” the DSCR analyzes.

 

Secondly, cyclists do not always think of checking the equipment of their bicycle. Not necessarily using their retro-reflectors or headlights during the summer, they are often damaged or even absent when pacing roads during winter time.

 

Advice

To cope with the increased mortality on roads at this time of year, the DSCR gives some guidance to road users.

 

For cyclists, it is recommended to “check its lighting, wear a retro-reflective jacket and not ride on sidewalks”. On the pedestrian side, it is advisable to “check several times before crossing, walking on the sidewalks and crossing at pedestrian crossings”. Finally, drivers and drivers of motorized two-wheelers must “adapt their speed, deviate by at least one meter from the sidewalks and keep the headlights on day and night.”

Experience winter in comfort Czech – winter running tights Axis 4070 + N

With great pleasure I acknowledged the fact that in our test clutches to encounter a winter stretch pants or safety vest sewn in the Czech Republic. Czech real stretch pants! It is no great wonder? But go! Have you never noticed where those entire beautiful cross our stuff come from? I am overjoyed almost like after sitting under the Christmas conifer. Such reunion after so many years!

Axis Czech brand in stores, although you can find, but a large part of its production is exported. Under her character develops and manufactures jogging, outdoor, fitness wear, but also swimwear MODETA Style from lava. In the Highlands a high-quality clothing – again a pleasant surprise – the only EU certified materials.

Elastic pants with a poetic name 4070 + N are simple but high-quality processing. Each leg is sewn of four panels. The wide top hem is stitched rubber and folded into the tunnel through which a slightly elastic string to tie. No complexity such as pockets. Flat seams connecting individual fabric panels hidden below his knees reflective tape. Another reflector is placed on the outer thighs and reflexology is also very brand logo on the front left thigh, calf borne after three reflective elements.

Completion of the legs is a gum with two silicone parallel wavy lines from the inner side, which prevents sliding legs when running. Color base pants are always practical black. On the market are pants in combination with blue and red elements. In that the color is always the calf panel and the main flat seam running through the front of the thigh to the knee and one seam side calf.

Softness bunny Azurite

Net item is in running equipment, of course, the material used. This time it’s just about the Italian Lycra Sport, that makes you the clothes fit well, and avoids stiffness while its shape keeps for a long time. Of course breathes well, which is currently operating in winter conditions crucial. Certainly offend or antibacterial (so we stink less), or increased resistance to burr (pants so they look like new for longer).

Excellent comfort (even the heat, of course) delivers fabric finish Snowstorm. Inside is a fine whisker microfilms (experts said they call it “internal soft napped”), which both stretches moisture and transports it away from you and also has excellent thermal insulation properties. They apparently were even tested in Nepal expedition Parham Peak, which is Nepalese peak with a height of 6,237 meters above sea level.

Prague calamity

It was warmer and colder. On the day I am writing this test, it was well below zero and the snow began to fall – yes, even in Prague! Regarding the wearing comfort and thermal comfort can praise itself for five (up to a certain distance).

Sometimes I feel a little lacking at least some small pocket, but fortunately I always found something on the reflective jacket. So I was especially annoyed that the seams in sensitive areas – between the legs – not too flat. Protrude slightly into space, and when the run length of ten kilometers brother he may cause some discomfort. Even so, dress pants with more flavor than others – namely ours, Czech. In vain hunt in mind when I had something similar to cross-country to another. My first shoes were made of Športvýroby Bardejov. And maybe the first one was too tracksuit from us.

Father Jerzy Popieluszko has its knights. They come to him also from Bydgoszcz

In the cold October morning, in front of the church P.W. Stanislaus Kostka in Warsaw’s Żoliborz revolves a lot of people. The crowds are not surprising, eventually buried here is blessed Father. Jerzy Popieluszko, surprising that few men strolling in the vicinity of the tomb bears the reflective safety vest with the inscription “Solidarity Bydgoszcz” and registered IDs.

Was there was any anniversary? After a brief conversation already we know everything. It guards the tomb of Fr. Popiełuszki or knights – so wakeful are called in Poland, for 32 years, every day and every night, regardless of weather, on duty (and civilians and the people of Solidarity, which was officially incorporated in the guard in 2012) at the grave of his hero, Father Jerzy.

Jan monarch of Bydgoszcz “Solidarity”, associated with the Chaplaincy of the Working People, a longtime employee plant “Eltry” goes to the capital for three years. While serving in last weekend watched hours: 22-23, 4-, 5, 11-12, 14-15. The remaining time, like other knights spent in a room behind the sacristy. You cannot go take a nap on a mattress, eat, drink, what is important especially in the winter. Jan monarch explains how he came impetus to the service, which now gives about 300 people with reflective tape from across the Polish. In the first year after the death of the priest it was not until 3000 guards. – It started with the news that SB months or they will try to steal the body of the priest, or defile them – explains activist. – They suspected that such attempts were undertaken during the renovation of streets running along the church, the undermined machine into the ground. Throughout Poland announced the alarm. The Security Service of the actions of a very studied. On the floor of the house vis-a-vis the church sat agent with the camera. Filmed, observed – until 1989 – everything that is happening around the church. Repression was not. Why are we here today? The truth needs of their people at any time – says the activist, who for telling the truth frequented criticized more than once, which means he did not hesitate in a state of war dropping leaflets from the very top of the Palace of Culture and Science and opieczętowywać government announcements-Solidarity emblems.

Who will pay for it?

Among enthusiasts it is also more than 30 years, Marian Włazik (former chairman of the estates Łęgnowo – Hamlet, 30 years employee Zachem). The idea of ​​service at the tomb of Fr. George has infected his wife Sophia and children who also take their children to Warsaw. Over the years, he is not spared persecution because of the roster at the grave of the priest. – I made over 400 staff at the tomb. Once a year, driven privately, and with five, six as a member of the Oblates of St. Brotherhood. Bridget House Bydgoszcz (Gdańsk organization, founded by the Rev.. Henryk Jankowski). This is the only house in Poland, which has survived for years 80.- More than once asked: who is paying us, after which we come. Meanwhile, we care about social order around the grave – says Mr. Marian who wearing a reflective jacket. It boasts a friendship with the family Popiełuszków. Mother, Marianna Popieluszko, often frequented in the state Włazików, when would come to Bydgoszcz. Contact with the family is still, but the priest Jerzy.

– Over the last two days I had with each other relics of the first degree (a piece of the cube with the hand), which drove to the church in Płonkowie. The third time now I bring the relics of Father. George churches of the diocese. I was also the only group in Bydgoszcz, who said goodbye at home mom ks. George. I recommend an excellent book about her, Fri. “The mother of the holy.” From the tomb we do not leave, even after the canonization of Fr. George, when the body will be placed in the church. There will be a symbolic worth. New volunteers are welcome.

It require bikers to wear safety vest

We must sweep away any notion of inevitability. But in 2002 the declared objective of not exceeding 3,000 killed in 2012, was not achieved. Sweden, she is much more ambitious: “zero victims” goal. Everything depends on the price that one attaches to security in relation to the symbols that are attached to the car, not to mention the cost – of around 24 billion Euros per year in France – of road accidents the community.

The statistics of road accidents highlight the most accident-prone factors. Alcohol is responsible for a fatal accident in three is the leading cause of road deaths, insists Road Safety. And a fatal accident in five due to an offense related to speed. Awareness campaigns are multiplying. But they are still sufficiently effective? The fight against road insecurity seeks a second wind.

INSEE figures identify the tracks on which to focus prevention efforts. If 70% of injury accidents occur in urban areas, they are responsible “only” 27% of deaths. So open road where speeds are higher, mortality is higher. Especially for motorcyclists without reflective jacket, who represented 24% of deaths and 32% of injuries in 2011?

Flight training of “cubes” became, over time, more and more selective as in practice than theory. But manufacturers have exploited a loophole in the regulations to work around this hardening of motorcycle license. They launched on the market for cars with three wheels of big cars without power limitation and can be driven with a car license and rather brief training. Simply because the distance between the front wheels is greater than 46 cm and that these machines do not fall into the category of motorcycles. This is a signal in contradiction with the principles of greater road safety.

The fight against drunk driving also seeks to rise, especially among young people. “Alcohol is involved in 40% of fatal accidents affecting young people of 18-24 years,” comments, Delegate for road safety. Zeroing the authorized alcohol levels for drivers of this age is under consideration. The question is whether this radical ban can be effective. Even associations fight against road insecurity is skeptical. Why drinking and driving among young people makes it less havoc in Britain and Germany, while the alcohol limit is not lower than the current level in France?

The real challenge is rather to apply the law as it exists today. And safety campaigns are increasing, because it is the awareness of young people about the dangers of drinking and driving must progress. It never ceases to concoct projects that defenders of the automobile and motorcycle describe as draconian and they oppose, such as the obligation to fit alcolocks to vehicles. It is true that governments sometimes seem to dispense with their responsibilities at little cost, by improperly lowering speeds so that restrictions are violated, or wanting require bikers to wear safety vest so that they call for appropriate infrastructure to the practice of two-wheelers and the sharing of roadwork with motorists.

The community would benefit from further strengthening youth awareness in schools, even in the programs. By studying the messages based on age to develop a culture of road safety. As for security, this awareness finds its place in the context of civic education … which would imply that it should also be rehabilitated.

Of course, the Road safety is already developing actions both to children and teachers. But they are ad hoc and inadequate. Because nothing can replace, in the fight against road insecurity, behavior change.

Norwegian residents can enjoy not only endowed with youth, but a comfortable old age. And that they can gather, protect not only themselves, and children, but also their pets.
