As from January 1 must wear the reflective vest, next to the triangle and the fire extinguisher kit as part of emergency vehicles.
Transport Minister Andrés Gómez-Lobo emphasized today the importance AND putting it before leaving.
“It has to be accessible from inside the car, the cabin, because if naturally a person would have to put to get off the car, for example to change a wheel or had a problem on the road, you have to not get off the car without the safety vest to find the vest, “he said.
Secretary of State confirmed that the audits by the end of weeklong Christmas harden.
At least 500 thousand people will leave the metropolitan region today. It is also expected that 280 thousand cars go by these days.
Gomez-Lobo warned that “there will be many controls alcohol throughout the country, Senda and police, ambulances also stationed at these checkpoints to make the breathalyzer directly.”
“There will be a very tight control about road safety over these weeks, and I would call on the people to be responsible, and if they will take not drive, and if they will not manage to take,” said the minister.

Motorcyclists only required to wear safety vest at night
Most of them, as the case of Matthew Carrillo who more than 20 years driving these vehicles, argues that the measure is good because without this element may drive with freshness, and appease partly the sweltering heat in the day They do on the streets.
He said that even serve to improve personal presentation of many citizens who had already adopted the safety vest as a garment over clothing.
However, Richardin Ochoa, one of the spokesmen of motorcyclists in Villavicencio, said it should be very clear statement of the Ministry, because although leaves will motorcyclist whether or not to wear the vest on the day itself requires avaialble, that is, to transport either in a bag in a suitcase or trunk of the bike.
He clarified that the standard does not contemplate that the color of the vest should be only orange as it was decreed in other cities. Different color, the garment should have reflective elements to be visible at night.
In this regard, the Ministry of Local Transit noted that although not require the reflective vest is day dress by motorcycle drivers, insist it is still used voluntarily and throughout the day as a vital element for safety.
By far the most affected are the manufacturers and traders vests, who say they suffer huge losses in sales bajonazo.
Direct injured
At least 200,000 pesos estimate traders reflective vests lost daily by not demanding motorcyclists to carry this element during their mobilization during the day.
Manufacturers vests as Olga Jimenez, said Llano 7 days the average daily sale is eight vests, ranging in cost from 20 thousand to 45 thousand pesos.
However, with the new decisions of the Ministry of Transport, now marketed estimate that only four or less.
Like other manufacturers and traders, it warns that although sales will be diminished, nor may lower the price of the vests, as the cloth and reflective tape that are made, along with other inputs, constantly rising price.
They note that although they have not been informed of the new measures, of course, announce that they asked to reconsider the decision to ban the vest day to the appropriate entity.
It should not be prohibited
Police Traffic and Transportation said that while accepting the changes to the requirement of reflective vest motorcyclists, continue to insist that the garment is vital for the safety of driver and passenger to mobilize element in these vehicles.
According to Major Henry Peralta, commander of the police unit, although they have not received orders from the high command of the police, when they will not punish motorcyclists not wearing vest before six o’clock.
The official said the measure should be explained, since some motorcyclists believe that other regulations such as banning the grill or helmet use, which continue to be dismantled.
Use Safety vest to improve traffic safety
Traffic safety product like safety vest are widely use in security area, also popular are reflective stickers, iron shapes, appendages or sewing plush toys of silver material. Children are worn on a backpack as a reflector. From the reflective fabric can sew anything, stickers and iron-on images in the studio are cut from special reflective film. The most common is the silver-gray color, but today they are on the market various shades. Paint contains microscopic particles that act like a mirror.
“Today is an effort to complement the reflective elements of daily use products, so it did not have as many people think. Also available are therefore umbrellas, various bags, hats or scarves, “cites Kristina Doubravová with two umbrellas in hand. One is a classic with reflective motifs, the other is full of silver.
“The law is tacky, does not fulfill the purpose,” says businesswoman
Although the amendment to the Road Traffic Act of Hradec sheltered workshop pass a large amount of orders, her boss criticizes the current adaptation. It bothers her that passage governing the movement of pedestrians on unlit roads is too vague. It speaks only reflective elements, not on their form, size or number. When you put on a backpack and zipped jackets reflective smiley face, you have met.
“The law is such a special, but better than nothing. I dare say it’s tacky. Reflective elements that are not defined, does not fulfill its purpose. In terms of safety there are huge differences. It is best to vest or jacket. These have a large area of high visibility fabric that is clearly visible without illumination, and the reflective stripes. Another option is to have more reflex points, according to which the driver clearly identifies that it is a man, “explains Doubravová.
Another situation is a job for reflective vest. Their standard defines the parameters accurately, including the size of the strips, wash fastness or stitch density. Price vest ranges from fifty crowns, ribbons can be had in their twenty. However, there are sellers who offer them even ten times, and people prefer to buy than to risk a fine. The market is also a number of Chinese products, but by entrepreneurs have the necessary reflectance.
“According to the norms to be visible 200 meters. For many Chinese products that can be argued about. Price is not yet critical, especially in terms of materials, “he adds.
Who wants to feel even safer, you can get a reflective tape with flashing LEDs. Their advantage is that they do not need enlightenment car. Thus preventing, for example, a collision with a pedestrian cyclist. Light Cycle is largely conventional reflective elements neosvítí enough.
Rarity is reflective sprays. It is clear lacquers which are not visible in daylight, but when illuminated by reflected light. Most commonly used to spray the corners of houses, bars or various posts.
TEST: Reflective vest Safety Kalenji – arrange to respect both day and night
Temperatures started dropping below freezing point and weathermen promise that he will be better. With time, we have a full fat autumn and with him ever shorter day and dark and dark evenings. We runners do nothing else than to accept the situation and change to the dark side of the Force – to start running in the dark. Whether we give our portion of kilometers in the morning before going to work or coming home from her evening, the dark queen of our favorite lines, because the darkness is probably unavoidable. Let’s test it one of the reflective vest to increase its passive safety!
When enclosures in this weather is no good to think well on your comfort level. It may not be exactly shrouded as Eskimos, but the T-shirt he also will not be right. A good portion of the thermal protection as well as excellent passive safety ensures a reflective vest in the decathlon.
Reflection eyes to merge
For cross-country vest that I was still wearing, this is no exaggeration best equipped in reflective tape. Reflective surfaces found on the back, shoulders, armholes, at several points on the hips, abdomen and lesions on the cover fasteners. Runner becomes one huge, visible in the distance reflector.
The manufacturer guarantees a minimum visibility from a distance of 120 meters, in the range of 360 °. While according to some sources, the 120 meters was a personal vehicle enough to stop even a speed of 130 km / h on a wet road. Reflective material manufacturers certainly spared no expense, moreover, it used high-quality production from 3M.
Delight but also a selection of other materials and their processing. The entire back, with the exception of the uppermost parts reflexive implementation are led in meshové fabric. Decently mesh are also areas in the armpit. Which is not used or reflective mesh material, you’ll find a bright yellow polyester fabric. It adds to the visibility and safety as well as daylight.
Indeed for runners
In testing, I felt as if the man who designed this safety vest, was himself a runner. He thought about everything. Vesta adequately ventilated while the right places to protect athletes from the wind. The back is nicely extended and more so protects some parts of the guard.
Pockets, mesh inside, are large enough to accommodate even the largest mobile phone, handkerchiefs or a handful of energy gels. The entrance is guarded them quality YKK zippers and cover extention. In addition the pockets are sewn so that it can also be used inside in which actually consists of two other pockets. Though not closing, but if necessary, represent an additional storage space.
Quality and sturdy zipper is also used to fasten the vest. Cover Legum form a mutually reflective material. In addition, placket at the upper end creates a so-called garage, so after you complete tensioning zip will not rub on the chin. The collar is worked into the collar. Protection from wind and nowhere neplandá nor avoids stiffness.
The vest is available in four sizes: S, M, L and XL. My person short little over 170 cm size M fell like a glove. A very pleasant surprise was the price. Less than 650 crowns came to me for this piece more than folk. Basically for the same price I was on sale (!) Once he bought a reflective running vest from one world tinged manufacturer. Scanty reflective elements and bad treatment from her soon made a hated piece of equipment. This jacket Kalenji happen.
Maurice said no to yellow vest
Sensation in Mauritius: more than 1,500 bikers parade on January 7, against the requirement to wear retro reflective vest for motorcycles and scooters drivers vest. A fight that is not unlike the one led by the French Motorcyclists is in Anger between 2011 and 2012.
Obligation rejected!
In Mauritius, the Government has decided to impose wearing a retro-reflective vest to motorcycle drivers from 1 January 2014, according to the newspaper The Daily. Difficult to understand under these tropical latitudes, on an island where the purchasing power does not already allows everyone to travel with a safety helmet …
The same problems the same remedies
And in Mauritius as in France, when the government proposed a draconian measure of road safety, the two-wheeled users show. And they are successful!
“The Mauritian authorities have declined by announcing that the jacket of the port would not be mandatory in broad daylight,” says The Daily. In France, mobilization of bikers under the banner of the FFMC has enabled the transformation of the cuff vest with reflective tape and its abolition. This info end of the world allows us to remind us of good times (click on the links below)…
On the sidewalk of the wire
Strange atmosphere … In the silence of the downtown Strasbourg, closed to cars since Friday, we still hesitate to walk on the road. Guided by her collator, she walks with short steps to the crosswalk. Her tiny feet barely resting on the first white band, the old lady looks up, seems to hesitate a moment, then slowly rotates. What’s the point? The shortest path from point A to point B is a straight line. And the street is empty. The old lady goes diagonally its careful progression.
The sound of silence placed on the bitumen
Around her floats a rumor we did not know: the sound of silence lying on the asphalt. It is 15 hours, though in full week. And it lacks that roll so familiar in non-pedestrian area that of moving vehicles bouncing off cars stopped. The parking spaces are empty. No mirror or current niche to avoid: cyclists with reflective vest ride on a pool table. But never too far paint dots that mark the paid parking. One likes to slalom, smiling.
The car park next door, St. Peter-le-Jejune, is not quite deserted. A sedan parked at the curb, as to not disturb the order of the empty spaces between the road markings. Leaning against the car, a man waits. “My parents had an appointment with the cardiologist. I could go through the appointments and macaroon disabled, but it was limited, “he said, nodding towards the check-point in the Stone Bridge, 200 meters away. “The time I accompanied them to the door of the doctor, the municipal police was already there, trying to call the pound. But I could not do otherwise, they still have 84 and 87 years old, my parents … “So there is next to the car,” this is what I was told. It’s an hour that I’m here … “
“And the parking meters? All this is money that not fit! We will pay, that, at a time!”Look at this street, it looks like its war,” added her husband, looks scared. “There are 12 guys who were dead in Paris and suddenly it’s a mess everywhere. This is nonsense. We’re clueless. I’m not going to vote on Sunday, y ‘fed up, “he continues.
Approaching the place of Iron Man, the sounds cape becomes familiar. The screeching of trams, car and two engines – one ambulance and utility of a medical laboratory: service requirements. Here, the nerve center of the transport network and Strasbourg Mecca of anarchic street crossing, pedestrians will give heart to joy … but never far from the sidewalks. Nature abhors a vacuum, but it needs a little time to take his ease …
The legend of St. Nicolas for smokers a PMU bar
In the narrowest street in the Game-of-children, we let more readily tempted by the ride in the middle of the bitumen. Speakers installed along with the Christmas market broadcast a song by the Company Creole over by a children’s choir that no noise is covered. “It resonates in the stairwell … It’s pretty unbearable … It’s not too much music I listen to,” sighs a young man with long hair, pushing the door of his building. Further, similar pregnant song tells the legend of Saint Nicolas smoking a PMU bar, lined up on the sidewalk. They did not dare go down the path.
A postmistress raises the rear platform of his truck. “Ah nickel for us is: we have the whole place to park!”She laughed, kissing Eye dozens of unoccupied parking spaces. White reflective stripes, red signs: no cars, it still takes far more abundant signaling dedicated to them. After three hours of wandering, seeing a pedestrian light turn red in a new traffic-free street, one wonders why they have not just been arrested.
“There’s not happy residents, there’s those who have made repress above …”
On deck St. Nicolas, a man in a reflective vest keeps barriers. It has the caliber type that we do not try to confuse, and before him to build muscle more shoulders. Picking ask. Open close. From 10am to 20pm. “But here it’s only for cars coming out. I cannot let those who want to return. But hey, they are people who are trying … There’s not happy residents, there’s those who have made repress above …, “he said, pointing to the nearby checkpoint, on the deck of the Raven.”This morning I also had electricians who had come to work in the city, with all their equipment into the van … They were very annoyed …” he continues raising the barrier for three cars that are presented.
In the pedestrian area, everything seems normal. The large crowd less. Never the Christmas market had been so breathable. On patrol in the middle of the tourists, a CRS takes a gentle look at the illuminated angels that open the way to the cathedral.
Suddenly, two joggers emerge from behind, carried by the smooth carpet of the open street. “Oh I say, I want to type one of these sprints!
A shop left his door open. It is mild despite nightfall, and “there is no traffic noise, no honking people to move in the lane next door … It was weird at first but it’s really nice,” smiles the saleswoman.
At the bridge of the Post, six armed military police accompany that controls all flashlights outside, sacks of pedestrians and cyclists passing by. No sign of reluctance.
Further along the Stone Bridge, are the coffers of vehicles that the police open? Upstream, a colleague controls the papers to leave or not allowed to pass. 200 meters, then 300 … Prevented to pass by a police officer with reflective uniform, a woman pulls over to the side; it will not have long to wait. These are not the controls causing this influx is the clock: it is almost 20 pm. suddenly the signal sounds: “It’s good!”A man closes his chest: his van registered in Lorraine will be the last open day. CRS move barriers. The bridge is open. And the line of cars rushed to the Big Island, to go hide in car parks. Night as the streets must remain a desert…
Vodafone: a jacket to protect cyclists
Many cyclists use their portable, which makes them obviously vulnerable, especially when they do not wear reflective vest … Vodafone takes the subject head on, and solves both problems!
April 15, at the TEDxDelft, Vodafone Netherlands will unveil its smart jacket to cyclists. Originally a simple observation … and rather universal: biking, we tend not to protect as necessary. Not to mention the traditional helmet on which the majority tends to overlook, it is here to address two other issues. The first is that cyclists regularly use their phones while pedaling. The second is that much at night are invisible fault to wear a safety vest or light to attach to their cars.
With its proposed “Smart Jacket” Vodafone attack both problems: in order not to be tempted to look at his phone, simply slip it into a safety jacket pocket once you have entered your route there. The jacket will take care of the store, and using an LED system, it will indicate directly to motorists what path you take, in addition to using GPS. Ingenious!
Traffic accounts for an important place in the child rearing
everyday lives. Traffic begins doorstep or -caravan thereafter. The child is developing as he practiced correctly routed and driving.
Traffic education in kindergarten through play and daily activities where the child learns to behave safely in traffic as a pedestrian. Traffic education in a seamless manner through the different subjects – examines, explores, heard, spoken, comparing, molded, drawing, painted, glued, singing, etc. in transportation issues.
Very good experience and practice of our kindergarten children each week of the fall of the traffic organization. Traffic Week, the children met on 19 October, a juvenile police officer with reflective vest Mary Punakuga. Children got new knowledge and skills in the functioning of the traffic, the reflex of necessity, and the work of the police. Toddler’s policeman had a lot of questions. Excitement sparked a police investigation of a car.
The groups crafted headgear policeman that the group “traffic supervision” exercise. Vane-mass and the average group of children liikluskäitumisalased rooted knowledge of the textbook “Zebra and Fred” form. In the younger groups were heard and discussed liiklusalaseltraamatukese “Jute and Jasper moves” basis. Teaching activities in the said group of teachers also use DVDs ‘be seen’, which traffic the dog Weirdo teaches children to behave properly in traffic.
Highways Agency traffic education in the southern region of the office for a week, we brought traffic to kindergarten stroller traffic, whose elements, it was possible to design a temporary traffic campus nursery school hall, or outdoors group various traffic situations play out. Traffic through the Bear introduces children to important traffic signs, their meanings and drivers. Children learn proper behavior in traffic every day activities, walks, study visits in real traffic. Traffic Dipper possible to implement both the children and the teachers’ creative approach to the design of various traffic situations. Children can be encouraged to create a campus in traffic and use of the existing road signs. The teacher here is indicative and illustrative role.
Parents’ role in the habits of the child’s traffic shaping and anchoring giving a personal example is crucial – the child mimics the behavior of their parents. From home, your child can subconsciously lead role models for a lifetime, acquiring the basic truths of behavior, attitudes, and roads in the surrounding traffic environment. If a child is experiencing repeated that with their parents go over the road red traffic lights or at pedestrian with reflective clothing crossing a few meters away, or the parents do not attach it automotive vehicle safety belt runs kindergarten learning-listening “sand.” Much easier it is to design the child correct behavior when change lies with the well-established habits. It is therefore crucial to acknowledge the role of parents in their child safe traffic behaviors.
Every autumn, this raises the Estonian Police conducted campaigns, the media, the reflector theme. Organized in cooperation with the Road Board, the reflex of our preschool education, which the kids got to see the video clips, the reflector and the need to talk about their experiences. Lots of excitement offered children outdoors at night-time test conducted in reflector and without reflector. Each child received training at the end of the new reflector. Fortunately, the design of children’s clothes mostly been mainly sewed onto the reflector stripes, but do not double-Karis – better more than not at all. Thanks to the project we got our Estonian Railway trackside than 100 kindergarten children reflective vest which children walking and excursions outside the territory of the kindergarten bear. Our kindergarten employees are very important to the safety of children in traffic.
The teachers and the children’s group of attendants to increase the competence organized in collaboration with the National Road Administration on 14 December traffic control training, which was tested at the end teachers’ knowledge of traffic. Each also received a training grant of the certificate.
Ülenurme kindergarten yard is planned in the spring of this year to set up a local area Lions Club with the help of stationary traffic city where trolley possibilities even better and more extensive traffic. It will allow children to safe cycling practice, which is currently in the yard, cannot be done. KoostööÜlenurme Gymnasium manual training instructor Thomas West has been a pleasant and long-lasting. We have cooperated in so-called puuprojektis three occasions, thanks to which we have a hall of 25 kindergartens nice child-friendly colorful pictures of chairs, wooden floor puzzle Estonia and a large dollhouse. Highways Agency initiated traffic Dipper project is a teacher Toomas Western guidance of finalizing Ülenurme kindergarten children with safety vest delight trolley with large traffic signs, their bases, “zebra” pretty authentic lights and a large number of colored blocks. We are grateful Ülenurme High School, the kindergarten students is crafted tools could enrich children’s game -and the site.
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.
Self-destructive attitude, or again in a retro reflector
Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) east prefectural police office manager Taro Tamest underlines the recent tragic consequences of road accidents in the light once again the necessity of the reflective fabric.
“The cells in the field of Kaput-Cells-Palavered 12 km road reflectors for pedestrians got hit by a car, injured a pedestrian died at the hospital” – just a partial message I received yesterday evening. First, I got to thinking that this year Virus road fatalities are now a total of 18 people, unfortunately, the majority of them either own or omissions as a result of abusive behavior. Quite a statistical reflection of a tough flight only, is not it!? Apparently, however, let’s also be honest about the need and necessity of the reflector with reflective tape has been said for many years, and the justifications or excuses for such behavior cannot be.
Entry of the retro-reflector is not a formal requirement of the legislator, but that it has a higher purpose – carrying it becomes more visible to pedestrians and drivers will make their driving significantly safer. The reflector is a decent car headlight light visible for a distance of 130-150 meters. While pedestrians like car headlights from afar, identified the driver without headlights pedestrian reflector spotlight only 30-40 meters away. When driving in the dark distracting the driver still oncoming car lights, scratches and dirt on the windscreen or in the rain and fog, so bad weather could almost halve this distance with a driver notices a pedestrian reflectors. In the worst case, it is only 15-20 meters, which is not enough that the driver is able to avoid the collision by braking for pedestrians with reflective vest. At a speed of 90 km / h the vehicle stopping distance on dry pavement about 70 meters. However, wet or snow is considerably longer stopping distance.
