Police training the tractor drivers for Road safety

Four policemen in safety vest spend the week at Agricultural High School training young tractor drivers with rural aspects of the Highway Code. Ride and descend carefully from the cabin, check the weight of the load, check blind spots when maneuvering in reverse … Four police officers, specifically CRS, spend the week at the agricultural school to give road safety courses to students who, for the most part, already drive tractors.

 

“There is no” tractor “license in France, says Brigadier Jacques Provost. From the age of 16, a youngster can drive a tractor up to 40 tones if he is attached to a farm. In general, they are trained more or less quickly by their parents or the training supervisors. They often take bad habits. We, we come to thwart them! ”

The day alternates theory and practice: “We do not teach them how to use the tractor for work on the farm or in the fields, but we talk to them about the rules of the road to keep the road safety, which they are subjected like all drivers: farmers spend 25 % of their time on the road, the farms are growing, they buy farms in the neighboring villages, etc. Much emphasis is placed on reversing: visual inspection of blind spots and use of mirrors with a towed tool. Every year, there are 15 to 20 accidents in France where farmers crush their children. It’s terrible and the figure does not go down. There is a race for performance with speed and overload. Tractors, in principle limited to 40 tones, sometimes damage the weighbridges intended for 50 tones. They are 60 or 65 tones in fact. There is no technical control for the rolling stock.

 

“For the overload nobody is in order, confirm the apprentices in BEPA who were trained yesterday. As long as it does not overflow, we charge! Same for the height of the straw, it’s good as long as it goes under the wires. Put on the safety belt, have the gray card, a triangle and a yellow vest in the cabin: the young people smile. “This is the demonstration; you have to look behind, and so on. But if you take that long time to carry the straw boots, the boss will not be very happy. ”

 

 

Police and insurance distribute yellow vests

Monday, October 23, 2017, in Lemieux, insurers and police distributed safety kits, including a yellow safety vest, to prevent pedestrians and cyclists, more vulnerable to winter time.

 

On Monday, October 23, 2017, police and insurance agents settled in Place, from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm, to distribute safety kits to pedestrians and cyclists in Lemieux. “Our goal is to make prevention with the most exposed users,” says Karina, mutual insurer of Poitiers. Inside the kit: a yellow vest, a reflective bracelet, and a prevention plate. All bag with a reflective band.

 

This distribution takes place this week because “every year, in the weeks following the transition to winter time, accidents increase by 40% for pedestrians”. In fact, the night arrives earlier and makes pedestrians and cyclists less visible. The National Federation of General Insurance Agents Associations and France Bleu distribute 10,000 kits and reflective vest in “the prefectures and sub-prefectures of France”.

 

TCS gives away 80,000 safety guards for school trips

Whether the children attend a new school year or go to school for the first time – the “school trail” campaign of the TCS takes care of the traffic safety of all schoolchildren. In addition, this year again, the successful campaign will be carried out, at which 80,000 Giblets will be handed over free of charge to first-graders. In the coming school year, the largest mobility club in Switzerland, together with the counseling center for accident prevention and the police, is again committed to the safety of children on the way to school.

 

80,000 TCS-Giblets to start school

Those who change from nursery to primary school in the autumn (3rd primary school after Harms Concordat) can look forward to one of 80,000 of the well-known TCS safety vests, distributed free of charge by the TCS in all of Switzerland. Since 2013, this action has been part of a comprehensive traffic safety campaign for the safety of children on the way to school. The west are printed with the silhouette of the Play Mobil student logos and the logo of the “school trail” campaign, have a hood as well as reflective light bands and are high-quality processed. These Giblets expand the TCS Troikas range, which has been successfully distributed to cribs and kindergartens for many years.

 

With this action, the TCS reoriented the focus of the traffic safety campaign on the endangered target group of the first years. For these, the first day of schooling after the kindergarten is often associated with habituation to a new school path, which also entails new risks. The safety vest is well received by the little ones and, thanks to its striking color and the reflective ribbons, fulfills the important function that the children are already visible from far away.

 

The motorized traffic people are again made aware of the children in the street traffic by means of the well-known Play Mobil pupils and reminded them of the central message: “Stop before you stop, do not just stop!” The car drivers must also be aware of the risks of schoolchildren in road traffic at the beginning of the school year, and ensure that they stop completely as soon as children want to cross the road. The speed only slow down is not enough because small children can not estimate the speed and the distance of an approaching car correctly.

 

The campaign with the emblematic play Mobil student club will be launched again this year in the whole country, on television, on the radio and on posters.

 

 

Knock-out vests for all ABC shooters

School beginners were the first in the Upper Palatinate to get the new ADAC safety vest. On Tuesday was the start of the security vest action. The boys and girls were quite excited, as Jacqueline with her yellow post wheel in the school hall of the school. In her luggage, she had 33 yellow securities for the first years. According to Jorgen Hildebrandt, the department head responsible for traffic at ADAC, Swiss Post is bringing the safety vestments to schools all over Germany.

 

The responsibility for this logistical task lies in the hands of Marianne, the head of Deutsche Post’s branch office in Bayreuth, which was therefore also a prelude.

Headmaster Siegfried See liger, emphasized that the security campaign was a special action for the children. He showed the children a leaf, which was held in gray tones. On another, the tigers and the bear of Janos were seen in bright colors. The children learned that bright colors such as those of the safety reflective vest were visible. Michael Herbs, Member of the Board of the ADAC, thanked the action partners who “bring this joint car with them” to avoid accidents. “Accidents with children are terrible”. The West was specially tailored to the needs of the pupils. They shone through their high proportion of reflex material. The ADAC traffic detectives Felix and Frieda on the back of the vest accompanied the children on the daily school route.

 

Mayor Brigitte Natta said that children were getting west because adults were concerned about their health. This jacket should be worn not only on the way to school but also when playing, Natta excited. “Your heart is very dear to us. We want you to come safely to school and home, “said police president Michael Liege. He warned that the fastest way to school was not the best. The children had greeted Liege with an extra reverb, which confirmed that they had no trouble with the police.

 

Dr. Wolfgang Laths, the district chairman, took the parents into the duty: the children should calmly remind their parents. “Keep an eye on your parents to think about you.” Laths gave a lesson on traffic safety to his parents. Especially when the time pressure, parents with their children often would not stop at red at the traffic lights. The larger adults could easily see the drivers. The children who follow them are small – and therefore in great danger. Laths: “Accidents should not be, therefore: Take me the vest.” The comment function is exclusively available to our subscribers. As a subscriber, please log in or register.

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.

 

 

 

Safe on the way to school

To safety: 50 girls and boys of the first two classes of the primary school with their new safety vest. The picture shows the primary schoolchildren with headmaster Stephanie Bachmann (in the foreground) as well as in the background (from the left) Teacher Sonja Riedel, Klaus Ulbricht, Ronny(ADAC), police superintendent Volker, Mayor Mathias, Barbara and teacher Lena.

 

The motto of the action of the ADAC Niedersachsen / Sachsen Anal, the police and the Post DHL, which yesterday equipped the two first classes of the primary school with 50 safety vestures, is “quite bright”. Nationwide 70,000 first-graders receive the safety vestiges, with nationwide 750,000.

 

Embedded in a nice entertainment program with singing, designed by the first and second classes of the school, the transfer took place. “In dusk or in the dark, children with yellow, reflective vests are visible from about 140 meters away.” Stephanie Bachmann welcomed the ADAC staff member Barbara, the “Yellow Angel” from the ADAC staff service Ronny, Mayor Mathias, Klaus Ulbricht of the Menden and police officer Volker Grebe, the contact person for all schools and kindergartens in the old district of Menden.

 

Volker Grebe appealed to the children to wear the safety vest not only on the way to school, but also outdoors during their free time. “The West does not just look cool, they also protect you,” he said. The bright yellow, reflective vests with hood and the traffic detectives Felix and Frieda on their backs make children especially visible in the dark season on the way to school and in the leisure time. Road users can recognize children early with a safety vest and react in time.

 

“At dusk or in the dark, children with the yellow, reflective vests are visible from about 140 meters away,” explained Barbara. As a comparison she called darkly dressed children, which can be seen only from 25 meters. Together with Tristan from the second class and Mathias Eiders, Grebe made a flashlight experiment in which he impressively illustrated how to see with and without a vest.

ADAC staff member Barbara also mentioned a competition where the children who wear the high visibility vest can participate and win 500 Euros for the class.

 

Transport education: Safe on the road

Under the motto “Children do not have brakes”, the traffic safety advisors and district officers of the conduct a traffic education campaign in all the kindergartens of the district of Coifed. Their target group is the children who move to primary school after the summer holidays.

 

The action took place in the Von-Galen-Kita. Traffic safety adviser Ralf Desman sat down among the girls and boys in the chair circle. The police chief commissioner told the children that the police were a “friend and helper” for them. Ratchet, safety vest, handcuffs and other parts of the equipment more showed Ralf. The children were happily putting on police officers, although they were much too big for their heads.

 

In the coming weeks, Ralf Desman will return to the Von-Galen kindergarten to train the right behavior in road traffic with the future first years. “Children have no brakes, they can be easily distracted, and they are not small adults either,” explained Ralf Desman. “Both this realization and the fact that humans have not developed an innate instinct for traffic hazards makes the unconditional necessity of intensive traffic education work clear.” It is important that parents also strive to ensure the safety of children in road traffic.

 

“Since practical exercises with the children on the road are not to be replaced by any teaching methods, the local district officers of the police will conduct practical exercises with the children on the street during the second visit together with the teachers,” explained the traffic safety adviser.

 

For all parents an information event on “Child as a pedestrian and rider” as well as “Child as a cyclist” is offered. “The closer the police, the educators and the parents work together, the greater the hope that the children will be able to move safely on the streets with wear reflective vest in the future,” says Ralf.

 

A million security vests for schoolchildren

The Action Safety vest is going to the next round with the beginning of the new school year. For the fourth time already, the action partners – ensure a total of 770,000 safety vests free of charge Schoolchildren.

 

The bright yellow vests make a significant contribution to improving the safety of small traffic, especially at the beginning of the darker season. Since the beginning of the campaign in 2010, more than three million ABCs have already been issued.

 

Peter Meyer, ADAC President: “Children are the weakest participants in road traffic. To protect them better is the primary intention of the action security vests that we launched three years ago. It is a great success for our joint initiative that almost every German elementary school provides their first years at the beginning of the school year to the yellow vest. ”

 

Jorgen Geddes, CEO Deutsche Post DHL: “The issue of road safety is a key issue for Swiss Post as the largest civilian fleet operator. Here, together with strong, credible partners, we want to set a clear signal. ”

Dr. Christina Fating, 1st chairperson of the charity organization “A heart for children:” When Axel Springer heard on the radio in 1978 that every year 1,500 children died in road traffic, he called ‘A heart for children’. We are delighted to be able to make a significant contribution to the safety vest that today much fewer children are involved in traffic accidents. ”

 

Matthias Weismann, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry: “Children are particularly vulnerable to road traffic; they need special attention to traffic safety. This is why the automotive industry is supporting the safety challenge for schoolchildren. “The high numbers of accidents are still alarming. In 2012, 29 321 children under 15 died in road traffic, 73 of them died. Among the primary school students between six and ten years, the numbers are similarly alarming. 7 817 children were involved in accidents last year, 20 of them fatal.

 

 

Success model for a safe school path

A total of twelve children arrive at the four stops this morning – even a special stop sign was set up for this. Mother Timken reports: “Every family is one or two times a week to accompany the children. Every child wears a safety vest and has a ticket which is tapped at the destination. ”

 

The head of the Mariachi, Andreas, regards the parents ‘initiative as a good thing: “This clever idea guides the children to cope with their own path of schooling.” He could also understand parents’ cares well. Fearer would always make it difficult for the children to come safely across the street and there was really a lot of traffic. “It is best to have the parents do the right behavior with their children on other occasions with their children and to discuss dangerous situations, wear reflective clothing will be helpful” recommends Sobering. As a challenge for the children, Mother Julia also sees the long way to school: “But the bus on legs is a huge relief for us parents, especially when you have several children.” In the morning, two adults always accompany the bus “the kids are great.”

 

Nevertheless, such a large “vehicle” has to master bottlenecks. Timken reports: “As a bus, we can barely overtake, and similarly, other students and drivers sometimes feel more of an obstacle.” And so all participants in reflective vest are asked to ask other passengers: Always keep enough distance and pass as slowly as possible along the bus.

 

A safety briefing and a safety vest for visitors

Daimler is once again providing insights into its project testing center. The public showed great interest last year. Visitors wear reflective vest can visit the site of the future Daimler test and technology center from a viewing platform during the course of construction site tours. The first guided tour took place at the end of April 2016 for the members of the municipal council and the local councilors.

 

The first guided tours on the largest earthworks site in Europe have already been announced for the spring. On the grounds of the former military training center, the realization of the Daimler Test and Technology Center is making rapid progress and the visitors are coming back soon can already see much more of the test areas and test tracks than they did last year. However, the response to the offerings of the construction sites was already great from the beginning. Between May and October 2016, visitors in yellow vest were invited to take a tour of the Daimler site.

 

Interest is very big: Soon after Daimler had begun work on the 200 million euro project in the autumn of 2014, the desire was made to give the public an insight into the unique construction measures. The Automaker finally announced that he would set up a glass construction site. At the end of April 2016, the municipal councils of Giessen were able to look around the site at the construction site. On Sunday, 8 May, the general guided tours began. The response to the specially set up registration portal was great.

 

Still no start date 2017: After the end of the current winter break the construction site will be continued in the spring. “An appointment for the first tour has not yet been finalized, but it will soon be,” said Daimler press officer Oliver at the request of the SOUTH CURIER. First of all, various votes were needed. There you have to register via the online tool. Reservations are valid only after confirmation.
