Tips to put the chains in the car correctly

In these days of cold, snow and frost, many drivers in safety clothing go to their garages of confidence with the intention of asking about how they should put the chains in their cars correctly. Now, that adverse weather conditions are the order of the day, forecasts put on alert even areas where snow is not at all usual. For this reason, it is important to be prepared and carry chains in the trunk to avoid any surprise last minute. Zeta Engine, from the hand of Rudi Motor Services, recommends you follow a few simple steps to place the chains in the car easily and safely.

 

First of all, you should park the vehicle on one side of the road in order not to hinder the movement of the road. Next, the members of the vehicle will have to put on the reflective vest and signal the area with the emergency triangle, a protocol essential to preserve the safety of all drivers.

 

From then on, the first thing to know is where to place the chains. As a rule, they will be placed on the driving wheels, so in the traction cars must be placed on the front wheels. In contrast, in propulsion, should be fixed on the rear wheels. Finally, in all-wheel drive 4x4s, they will have to be put on all four tires.

 

After these first steps, it is time to place them, remember to keep a yellow vest to be visible. First, stretch the chains well on the ground to check that no knot has formed. Next, place the chains on the tire, pull the steel cable behind the wheel and hook it. Then, keep pulling the cable, this time on the tread, and move the car a few inches to finish covering the rest of the wheel. In addition, finally, it connects the hooks with the tensionless and returns to move the car a few more meters to be sure that the chains have been well secured.

Bicycles: Keep light and reflective vest for your safe

“Hello, municipal police. You ride a bike without lights and wearing reflective vest, it is dangerous at night!” As police officers approach, faces close. However, for lack of fine, everyone will be left with tips, an explanatory leaflet and a lighting kit.

In the late afternoon, the municipal police, the Grand Toulouse, and the Vela association organized yesterday the third prevention and awareness campaign for cyclists on the rue Alsace-Lorraine, who were traveling without fires. “With the fall, the days are getting shorter and people will be moving at night. Then they want to let go of the car more and more with pollution, traffic jams, “explains Sebastian in safety clothing, president of the Association Vela.

“There are a lot of people in Toulouse who do not respect these rules. This operation is short but it has a lot of impact, “adds Jean-Claude Ruggiero, representative of the municipal police. Thomas, 28, is one of the cyclists arrested. “Yes, I knew that you had to ride with lights and safety vest,” he admits. However, I did not feel like we needed it in town. Know that now, for each forgotten lighting element, it will cost you 11 Euros.

The bikers in the viewfinder of the gendarmes

At the time of the return of the beautiful days, and therefore the outings on motorbikes, the gendarmes of the departmental squadron led, yesterday in Moseley-South, an important operation of control. The site was not chosen at random. Yesterday afternoon, the gendarmes of the departmental road safety squadron of Metz chose a very particular sector of Moseley-South to carry out a great operation of road safety: the roads of Dao and Demon.

 

The coming spring and the milder temperatures led the gendarmes to act quickly to meet them, with both hands: one, for all, for prevention; and the other, if necessary, for repression. In addition, the stakes are important. “After the winter season, the first exits are riskier because the bikers are slow to regain all their reflexes driving two-wheeled, says the captain Jean-Jack, second in command of the EDSR Metz. There is a 27 times greater risk of being killed by motorized two-wheelers than by car. Still, many bikers take a lot of risks, feeling in control. ”

 

On a motorcycle, the slightest carelessness can be fatal. The recent news is there to confirm it. “Last year in Moseley, during the first quarter, there were three accidents of two-wheelers and three wounded,” says Captain. This year, at the same time, we recorded eight accidents, with one killed and ten wounded. These accidents involved five motorcycles and five cycles. “In addition, faced with these disturbing figures, the gendarmes decided to hit hard. They distributed to them a guide of good behavior. “There are tips to be well equipped, to behave appropriately, to be vigilant, and to respect the rules of conduct and so on. Since January 1, it is for example mandatory that all two-wheels have a reflective vest, to put in case of accident or breakdown.

 

All those who were in good standing left without being worried. The others, including cars, were caught by the patrol. Especially since, for the exercise, the EDSR also mobilized two of its most effective and formidable weapons for the violators: the unmarked motorcycles and the unmarked car, able in particular to grasp with discretion every speeding in the two directions of circulation.

 

In the end, 150 bikers were checked and all were in good standing. Twenty offenses have been reported against motorists: 18 speeding (recorded thanks to the dreaded unmarked car with embedded radar), a phone behind the wheel and driving under the influence of alcohol. The presence of the gendarmes with safety clothing in force, however, was not enough to reason everyone. A biker lost control of his craft in the climb of Demon.

 

 

The T-shirt is a bigger shield than the bulletproof vest

“I do not feel threatened on missions. The context of where we go is problematic, but we pay attention to security. We are not subject to any governments or funds as organizations, so our protection is that we are an independent organization. We can do what we want if we negotiate the conditions in the place where we want to help. If the local community respects us, it is far more shield than if we had bulletproof safety vests and armed guards, “says surgeon Tomas, host of Personalities Plus.

 

“We do not have one, we have a dozen MSFs with a logo, and that’s enough protection,” he adds and explains how the work of an international humanitarian organization, a longtime member, works.

 

“It is essential to negotiate the terms with all parties to the conflict. If we did not do that, we cannot work there. When there was a security risk at some point, we had to leave the mission, but it does not happen often. We work to ensure that people who respect us have free medical care, which is very well in the environment, and these people are very happy, “says the surgeon in safety clothing.

 

We cannot rely on family

“Sometimes we have a lot harder here, because we cannot rely on our family, friends and community. People, such as Afghanistan, carry this much more bravely. Perhaps more, North Africans are mostly in the line of battle, knowing that they will be going to school in the morning, and they may not count all of them in the evening.

 

There are people around who carried the weight with them. It is their native land, even though there are forty years of civil war there. They stay with warning vest because they have mutual support. We do not have it here. Oftentimes we forget about the family and the people around us and we have unnecessary burdens. At the same time, I think that the basis is the support, comments the physician working in the war zones of the different situation and the concept of the community.

 

I did not forget the dream

Tomas Sebeka started his work on missions at his 33 years of age. “I did not believe long after school, even after the attestations, and I did not think I could be of any benefit to the MSF organization. I needed to use my tongue, I did not think my surgical experience was enough to help local people help and pass on their knowledge. I have been working on it for a long time; I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Fortunately, I never forgot my dream when I finally left my first mission,” he remembers.

 

They approve law of safety vests patented

The Buenos Aires legislators approved a norm that foresees that the motorcycle drivers that circulate in the City must carry in the safety clothing, of obligatory way, a self-adhesive with the number of the patent of the rolled one. The law, which was approved with 43 votes in favor, 13 against and 1 abstention, establishes an amendment to the Traffic and Transportation Code and the Truancy Regime related to the movement of motor vehicles.

 

The rule, which sparked a heated debate on the premises, provides that “in case of transporting a passenger. He must wear a reflective vest that has printed on the front and back the domain number of the motorcycle” and provides for economic sanctions of 5000 pesos to those who fail to comply with the regulations and disqualification to drive from five to 10 days.

 

Daniel (PRO), author of the initiative, assured the site that “this project does not violate any constitutional right” and explained that “the initiative has two objectives: the first one is to contribute to the road safety, and the other is to promote citizen security.” “This proposal can help to lower the rates of crime, probably not the only measure that makes the situation better, but if it will contribute in that same direction,” said the Buenos Aires deputy.

 

The approval of the norm was debated with vehemence in the enclosure. Sectors of the opposition accused the executive of refloating an issue already treated in advance and that did not generate positive results in districts where the measure was implemented. Others harder, denounced the subject as “discriminating and stigmatizing” motorcycle drivers; besides to raise that to discuss that subject is to generate “a curtain of smoke” to cover other more serious questions in terms of citizen security.

 

The FPV deputy Paula Penance recalled that “we have discussed this issue a lot and in depth” and affirmed that “with this regulation stigmatizes motorcycle vehicle users; It has to do with campaigning this project in favor of the ‘fight against motorcycles’.”

 

“They are willing to advance with the stigmatization only to campaign, but do not take into account that this project has many points do not contribute to citizen security,” he said and remarked. “Motorcycle drivers finally end up exposed to a situation much higher risk, because nobody goes out to steal with his own motorcycle, then the time of the robbery will last even longer since the victim will have to take off his reflective vest to give it to the thief .”

 

Homeland researcher with safety vest in the subsoil

Although the gas warning device continually beeped, CO2 values ​​of up to 0.7 volume percent were indicated and the employees of the urban drainage were visibly nervous – Roland Bugle, honorary representative of the Land Memorial Office, was not to be stopped on Wednesday morning: “I get down there and done. “With an orange safety vest, a rope around his belly, and a yellow helmet on his head, he descended over a ladder into the old shaft whose access had previously been opened by the employees of the city drain before the health food store. On his own responsibility, so the agreement – and Bugle was, when he came back to the top, glad that he was down, “but not satisfied”.

 

In the five minutes he could spend in the ground, he could just descend down the steps of a spiral staircase and dare to look around the corner. There he discovered a low channel, which runs in a southerly direction but does not carry any water. Light, which could point to the opening for the better ventilation open before the Brunel – and thus a channel connection – Bugle did not see. For this, he wear the safety clothing and discovered a framed inscription below, which he did not know how to interpret quickly: apart from the year 1876, the letter sequence IFVFL is carved into the sandstone, and HC and the numbers 18011 below measured, are 15 centimeters high and 45 centimeters wide.

 

The fact that Bugle in reflective vest has gotten a chance to descend into the subsoil is thanks to the construction site on the other side: for the construction of a four-storey flat roof building, which is to accommodate 22 properties and a two-storey garage GmbH had the existing building demolished. And when in June a construction site vehicle broke the manhole cover in front of the property while driving over, a six-meter-deep, built-in shaft appeared unexpectedly, a testimony of history.
