It is worth to slow down and take care of safety

When the time comes to prepare for holidays, we often find queues in stores, more cars appear on the roads, the sidewalks are not a bit more crowded, and people in this pre-holiday chaos lose their vigilance. However, for the holidays to be joyful, first of all, we must remember about security because a moment of inattention would be enough to lose what is important to us.

 

“We will look after the safety of the inhabitants of our region, additional patrols will appear on the roads, the prevention officers already control, among others, shopping centers, bazaars, and bus stop, because it is in these places that during the holiday preparations we note the most thefts,” says young asp. Patrycja Kaszuba, KPP press officer, who wears a safety clothing with reflective tapes.

 

However, it is also worth taking care of your own safety. The police officers prepared some tips for peaceful holidays. Following these tips will help you avoid unpleasant situations and spend the holidays in a joyful atmosphere:

 

Separate the money in your purse and put it in different places. If possible, do not take more cash, unnecessary credit cards and documents for shopping.

Close the bag and carry it from the front. Do not put it away by paying at the box office, shopping or trying on clothes in the store. The thief is only given a moment of inattention.

Do not show others the contents of the wallet by paying for shopping.

Do not store documents and money in the back pockets of trousers, in the outer pockets of your coat or jacket.

Do not provoke a thief with clothing and jewelry. Pickpockets often watch their victims earlier. They pay attention primarily to people well dressed and looking prosperous.

Select the PIN code you entered with your other hand when selecting cash from the ATM. In addition, choose ATMs that are well-lit and do not stand out of the way. If you decide to collect more cash, it is worth to have someone trusted with us. Do not keep this money in one place. Separate them. Even if we are looted by a pickpocket, we will not lose the entire amount.

When traveling with mass media, do not sit in empty compartments. When traveling, try not to fall asleep. Look after your luggage.

Do not carry keys to the flat together with the documents where your address is given. In the event of their theft, the thief can also rob your home.

 

When planning a holiday trip, remember to secure the apartment – burglars do not celebrate, and the apartment is a tasty morsel for them!

Close all doors and windows well.

Ask your friendly neighbor for alertness and attention to our apartment, and in the absence of lighting in the evening light, taking mail, etc.

Do not leave more cash and valuables in the apartment. Valuable things can be deposited in the bank or photographed, written in factory numbers, marked – then, in the event of theft, it will make it easier to find them.

If after returning, it is found that the burglary has occurred, let us not move anything and immediately call the police.

 

When preparing for the trip, let’s do everything to make it safe!

Use good judgment and follow traffic rules.

Absolutely remember about fastened seat belts and armchairs for children.

Do not sit behind the wheel after drinking alcohol, even in small amounts.

Park only in well-lit and visible places, and do not leave luggage on the seats.

Reflective action in the parish church

“Encourage and convince you to use reflective vests can be in many ways. A great opportunity was a meeting with children and teenagers in the church.” says a press officer in the District Police Headquarters.

 

Deputy Inspector. Bożena Buczkowska from the police along with priest Piotr Szcześniak from the parish St. Józefa in Inowrocław, after a short talk, handed parishioners stamps and reflective tapes. The action was carried out so that getting around with reflections on the roads was safer.

 

“It is worth talking with traffic participants about reflections and explaining their “operation”. Well, however, when listeners can almost immediately find out about it. Hence a talk in one of the Inowrocław parishes with a group of children and youth,” adds Izabella Drobniecka.

Canyon presents musical Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk

A collaboration between Canyon and the German music group Kraftwerk sounds like music to us. Together they designed the extremely limited Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk of which only 21 pieces are made.

The Tour-start in Düsseldorf brings a lot of things to our German friends. Tony Martin is focused on getting a yellow jersey in his own country, but the music world is also getting involved in the Tour circus. In honor of his contribution to music history, Kraftwerk gets its own bicycle design at Canyon. The artwork is based on the distinct sounds that Kraftwerk produces and with which it opened the door for many other artists.

PERSONAL MEMORIES

For Roman Arnold, founder, and CEO of Canyon, this collaboration is very personal. “My memories of parties in the cellars of friends as a teenager are dominated by the numbers of Kraftwerk,” he says. “The band has a special and unique connection with bikes. Everything they do and their music inspired our work at Canyon in many different ways. It is very special for us to be able to honor Kraftwerk in such an appropriate way with these beautiful bikes.”

SEVEN HOUR HANDWORK PER FRAME

The Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk is designed with the focus on performing in style. It consists of a frameset that has already won large rounds, combined with the wireless eTap group of Sram and Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels. The handmade piece of art is inspired by the famous live performances, the technical qualities of the band and his visionary approach to music. The geometric pattern that Ralf Hütter of Kraftwerk co-designed is said to be one of the most complex designs that the Canyon Design Team has ever used. Each reflective strip is cut to size and then applied manually with great precision. This complicated process takes no less than seven hours per frameset.

TOUR DE FRANCE-ALBUM

Düsseldorf is also the city where Kraftwerk first made its name in the legendary Kling Klang Studios. After that, the band of co-founder Ralf Hütter became more famous and even made an album about cycling. Hütter had been obsessed with the Tour de France for a long time, so the band released their ‘Tour de France soundtracks’ album in 2003. That obsession also formed the basis for the collaboration with Canyon.

BOOK YOUR COPY

Can’t stop drooling when you look at the Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk? Then be there on Monday, July 3 from 12 noon as the chickens to claim your copy. For that, you have to go to the website of Canyon and keep 10,000 euros free. Every owner receives his bike in a specially designed Canyon Bike Guard, in which you will also find a special package that celebrates this collaboration.

TONY “KRAFTWORK” MARTIN

In addition to the 21 limited cars that will be available to consumers, world champion Tony Martin will also complete the opening time trial with the special Speedmax CF SLX in an iconic Kraftwerk jacket. Who knows maybe the reflective tapes will help him to flash to the first leader’s jersey in the Tour. You can clearly see and read that he is keen on winning!

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.

The tips for a safe “back to school”

The emergency service 112 of Andalusia has published a series of tips focused on self-protection and respect for road safety rules to avoid, as far as possible, incidents in the “back to school”. Tomorrow, Monday, September 10, classes begin in the province of Jaen and will return to be habitual the journeys by car, bus or walking from the homes of schoolchildren to the educational centers. In the case of any emergency, you must call 112.

 

If you go by car

If the journey is made by car, it is necessary to avoid parking in double rows and in non-authorized places such as garage doors as they can cause dangerous situations for other drivers and pedestrians. If we do not park well, we can block several lanes and even increase the risk for the minors since, to get to the car they will have to avoid badly parked cars. Also, due to their height, they can suffer an accident with a car that is maneuvering and not aware of their presence.

 

It is necessary to take child restraint chairs approved in the rear seats to transport children. They must be appropriate to the child’s age and weight. Although the trip to school is short, they always have to go in their special seat with the seatbelt. If the child is less than 1.35, he will always have to go back and can only go forward if he is over 18 or over 135 centimeters tall. In addition, it will be the person who drives the person in charge of placing the child correctly in his chair, without the backpack and fastening the belt. It is recommended not to go back when there are children in the vicinity and who are not on the other side of the road as they would be forced to cross the road.

 

If you go by bus

If you go by bus, you have to exercise caution when getting on or off the bus since it is the time of greatest risk with what you have to teach the child to go up and down in an orderly manner. The bus must carry, back and forth, the “School Transportation” signs and, if there is a companion for the students, you must wear a reflective vest with reflective tapes and get off the bus stops as well as keep an eye on the students.

 

The helmet and reflective clothing, for the bike and the motorbike

If you go by bike, you must wear a helmet, drive along the road and not on the sidewalk or on the bike lanes. Children have to wear reflective garments. It is also necessary to signal the maneuvers and be aware of the rest of the users circulating with caution. It is also recommended to make the tour in advance to warn the minor of the most dangerous points.

 

On the other hand, children under seven cannot travel by motorcycle and when that age is exceeded, they must go with parents, guardians or an authorized adult. They always have to go with an approved helmet to their size.

 

Tips for pedestrians

If you are walking, an adult must teach the child the basic rules of road safety education: cross the pedestrian crossings or with a green light, look at both sides of the street (first left, then right and last, again, left) to check that no car is coming. In the event that there is no sidewalk, you should walk along the edge of the road and, if possible, use elements that allow the child to be seen quickly as, for example, reflective vests.

 

Schoolchildren should walk, not running, jumping or playing near the roadway to avoid accidents with what they most likely will be on the side of the shoulder closest to the wall, away from curbs and with attention to the exits and entrances of parking and garages. In addition, it is recommended not to walk between parked cars to avoid collisions.

The nationwide ADAC warning vests campaign

For a good cause, the Minister of Transport immediately went to the ground: Bernd Buchholz perched on Monday morning in the auditorium of the Claus School to talk on equal terms with first graders on the subject of safety in traffic. It was the start of the nationwide ADAC warning vests campaign.

 

“I’m here today so you can safely get to school in the morning,” the visitor explained to about 75 girls and boys. Not only do they belong to the smallest road users: because children have a smaller field of view and a poor locating ability. They cannot perceive dangerous situations as well as older ones. Besides, they do not react so fast.

 

Therefore, it is all the more important that the other road users recognize the offspring in time. So that the first graders with reflective tapes can be seen more quickly in the dark, the ADAC Foundation launched the West Action in 2010. The motto: “100 meters ahead, who can decide.”

 

Sometimes the advantage of the all-round reflective vest is even greater, the ADAC calculates: in dark clothes, children in the dark can only be recognized from a distance of about 25 meters – wearing reflective clothing – after all, it’s already 40 meters. With the reflective safety vest, it even reaches 140 meters. Due to the eye-catching hood and the long cut the donated luminous clothing also protrudes from the back beyond the satchel.

 

“You promise me that you always put them on,” Minister Buchholz admonished his young listeners. Over the next few days, more than 22,000 reflective vests will be distributed in Schleswig-Holstein.

“Safe Road to School” action

As every year, from September the police action begins: “Safe way to school”. The officers will watch over safety and order in road traffic, in school areas and on roads that lead to schools and upbringing facilities in the initial period of education, after the summer break.

 

A constant element of the “Safe Way to School” activities is inviting police officers to meet parents and to learn communication with children. Classes with a police are always a big attraction for children, which encourages them to learn about traffic rules. The knowledge of officers from “roadsters” who, apart from discussing the most important regulations, are able to give practical advice to children and point out the most dangerous places in the school area, cannot be overestimated. Shaping the right habits in children is tedious work, but it pays off, because these habits stay for life.

 

We remind parents that not every first grader can be an independent participant in road traffic. According to art. 43 of the Road Traffic Act, a child under 7 years of age may use the road only under the care of a person aged 10 or more (this does not apply to the residence zone and the road intended for pedestrians only). A very important factor increasing road safety is wearing reflective tapes or reflective clothing. Parents who bring children to school should also remember about the obligation to carry them in protective car seats or special seats. The child under the school should be taken out of the car from the side of the pavement or shoulder, not from the side of the road.

 

The campaign “Safe way to school” is addressed both to children and to all adults, in particular to parents and teachers who have an educational obligation.

 

This year, Radio Olsztyn joined the activity giving away children who started the school year with reflective vests.

 

The “Safe Way to School” campaign will last until September 9.

Motorcyclists roar their engines against the use of reflective vests

Presidents and representatives of the 63 groups of motorcyclists in León, joined on board different types of mopeds to express with the roar of their engines, the disagreement against the use of vests with reflective tapes, greater safety and road awareness among all.

 

The new traffic regulation raises the mandatory use of reflective vest with reflective tapes for motorcyclists, however, motorists do not agree with this rule, since that takes away their identity and for them it is an imposition, especially on chopper motorcyclists. They regularly wear leather jackets that distinguish them with their different patterns.

 

The meeting was convened at 9:00 a.m. in the parking lot of Plaza Mayor, there all kinds of motorcycles arrived, from choppers, sports and cruises and dual purpose “to the regulations and all that vehicle that have an engine and comes on two wheels “commented a motorcyclist.

 

“It is carried out because we do not agree with the new traffic regulations, where it seems that motorcyclists want to impose a fluorescent vest,” explained the motorcyclist Chopper Anaya to El Sol de León.

 

The Municipal Traffic Direction says that the use of reflective vest is only considered as a recommendation and that the document is not updated. The City Council of Leon is in the preparation of the new regulation that is about to be approved, and studies the main causes of accidents, according to the aforementioned dependency.

 

Gonzalo said that more than the use of vests, it requires “more road education and goes for everyone, we do not exempt ourselves, we carry some guilt, but education is important on both sides, both people who go on four wheels , like those of us in two, “said the motorcyclist with a high cylinder moped.

 

The drivers questioned the use of the waistcoat with the reflective fabric, because If you do not see it, with the factory signs that the motorcycle is already carrying, it is a skull on which the stop increases the intensity and the directional, in reality what you should There is more awareness.

 

Motorists asked for greater security both in the city and on the highways, as some complained of being assaulted when going out on the roads “instead of putting on a vest we want security for us,” Anaya said.

Reflective vest to give police a cool summer

In the past few days, the temperature in Hangzhou has been rising. The public security traffic police stood against the high temperatures and continued to adhere to front-line posts to maintain traffic order. The professionalism of the police has moved many citizens.

 

On the morning of June 7th, a love high-tech enterprise in Hangzhou held a condolence event for the new-technology products of the public security policemen sent by the front-line policemen in the Xincheng brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau, sending 30 new R&D productions for the brigade’s public security traffic police. The police used sunstroke- reflective cool vest to express their love and support for police officers on duty. They called on the whole society to pay attention to this respectable and lovely person. I hope that all citizens will start from me, start from now on, obey disciplines and observe disciplines, and travel in a civilized manner. Unimpeded traffic adds to your strength.

 

The heatstroke cooling vest, also known as the cooling vest, is used to provide a comfortable cooling and protection for people who need to work in high temperature environments. There are several new-technology cooling modules on the inside of the vests and also have reflective tapes on vests. The body heat is taken away by the evaporation of the water by immersion, in the high temperature environment. The use of cooling can be kept cool for about four hours each time, to achieve the purpose of preventing heatstroke and cooling. It is particularly suitable for use by traffic policemen in countries where the climate is hotter.

 

At the same time, this policy sunstroke-reflective cooling vest also has the function and function of an ordinary reflective vest. The reflective materials on vests will play safety and warning role at night or in special weather, and it will have a very good protective effect on front-line traffic policemen.

Tips for a safe way to school

The new school year is in the starting blocks. This marks the beginning of a whole new phase of life for many first graders in the district of Leer and in the city of Emden this week with a series of new challenges – on the way to school. So that the little ones on the way to school are not overwhelmed, they need a lot of support especially in the early days. The traffic safety advisors of the police inspection Leer / Emden, Garret Hendricks (district of Leer) and Holder Gartner (city of Emden), appeal to parents and road users to pay attention to some tips to provide the little ones as safe as possible on the way to school.

Tips for the safe way to school:

  1. Avoid school stress: Plan enough time in the morning. Hustle and time pressure lead to carelessness. The safe way to school starts with a good breakfast.
  2. Planning the best routes: Plan and practice the safest way for you and your child together with your child. The shortest way is not always the best. Take a little detour in order to arrive safely at the destination.
  3. Wear bright and high visibility clothing: Equip your child with a safety vest, reflective satchel, reflective jacket or reflective tapes. The motto is: safety through visibility!
  4. Pupil transport by car: Walk and practice the way to school with your children on foot. This is how the child learns to actively and safely participate in road traffic. The daily “parental taxi” with the car carries danger. Many dangerous situations at the schools are caused by the turning, the reversing and the getting in and out of the children.
  5. By bike to school: We recommend that the children go to school only after the theoretical and practical cycling training. This usually takes place in the 4th class. At this age, (about 10 years) of the physical development and the responsiveness are sufficiently well developed.
  6. By bus to school: Children should never cross the road in front of or behind the stopping bus, but wait until the bus continues and visibility is clear. When getting out, children should pay attention to passing cyclists as well as passing pedestrians and should not jostle when boarding.
  7. No distraction by mobile phones / smart phones: The accessibility of children is important for many parents. Nevertheless, the cell phone / smart phone should be safely stowed away in the jacket pocket or bag on the way to school, so that the children can focus on the traffic.
  8. Looking ahead and ready to brake: For motorists, special attention will be paid in the coming weeks. Foresighted driving and a constant readiness to brake are demanded of them in particular in the vicinity of schools, at stops as well as crossing points (for example traffic lights, pedestrian crossings).

In 2017, it came under the jurisdiction of the police inspection Leer / Emden to 18 school road accidents. 14 people suffered light injuries and two injuries. School-related accidents are recorded on the way to school with the participation of children until their 14th birthday. Compliance with traffic regulations on school routes will be a particular focus of police officers in the coming days, so that road users will have to expect more controls in this context.
