Reflective vest in the car sometimes not enough

Accidents in recent days increased greatly. The driver is often surprised bad weather. But how to behave when you leave your car outside the village, or crash when no safety vest?

Frosts, fog, ice – so it could summarize weather of recent days. And many drivers have tasted firsthand how he can torment. But if you become involved in an accident or your car breaks down on the road, you should follow certain rules, otherwise, indeed, is still exhibits fine!

 

A reflective vest is not enough sometimes

In the Czech Republic the law orders have in the car a reflective vest – for the driver. If your car breaks down or you crash, you must take it upon exiting the car to get dressed, to other passengers, this obligation does not apply. But under the new rules, or they may not be entirely without safety features.

 

Indeed, when you get off the car, you become a pedestrian, for that since February the new Act. “The driver must have a legal wearing a reflective vest if, however, the rest of the passengers moved along an unlit road outside the village, must be equipped with reflective elements,” says trainer Yaroslavl drivers. For the offense can be fined up to two thousand crowns.

 

In some cases, but must have a reflective vest and the rest of the crew, in the case of corporate staff and transport vehicles. “Any employee who would have to repair vehicles entering the roadway must move around the car in a reflective safety vest,” explains government decree that obliges the employer to ensure that a sufficient number of vests. “They can either be stored in the car or the employee before boarding the vehicle,” he adds.

 

Czech regulations do not specify where the reflective vest saved. Drivers so it can be stored in the cabin of the car, but also quietly in the trunk. But be careful you have to be abroad. “In some neighboring countries is a condition that reflective material vest must be placed within reach of the driver, for us it is not provided,” adds Hones. Abroad, you must also keep an eye on mandatory equipment, which has since Czech is often different.

The police fine nocturnal pedestrians without reflectors

When walking along the road outside the village at night or in poor visibility must have people wearing reflective vests or belts. The amendment to the Road Traffic Act, which imposes the obligation, acquired while efficiency this year on February 19, fine for this offense, the police began with the advent of autumn.

 

If it is now a pedestrian without reflector caught that it was in poor visibility along roadsides in a place where there is no public lighting, can receive fines up to 2000 crowns. Until recently, these policemen and pedestrians only spoke to them at roadside checks handed out free reflective tape.

 

Most of it ignores

Awareness, however, was not very effective. As for Tuesday’s press conference, said Head of Road Safety Ministry of Transport Martin Parson, most pedestrians ignore this new obligation or has reflective elements badly set. “From 1 to 24 October, there killed 56 people on the road, three more than in the same period last year. Of this, 13 pedestrians killed, “the director of traffic police Tomé.

 

Meanwhile, if the walker equipped in reduced visibility the reflective element of safety vest increases the distance at which the driver can recognize it, up to 200 meters. And that gives sufficient time for the driver to react in time and safely avoid pedestrians. The reason why she was required to wear reflective elements enacted is the fact that in the years 2012 to 2015 died on Czech roads total of 523 pedestrians – 303 of them at night.

 

Buy it without problems

“People mistakenly think that the reflective elements must be only in the dark. But it is not accurate, because clearly labeled and must be in the dark, such as at dawn or after sunset. The fog is advisable to have with you yet light source such as an electric torch, “recommended the pastor. Take the reflective elements can, for example, stationery, sporting goods stores are often even at the supermarket, in a newsagent, a post office and a gas station.

 

Price Reflective tape is usually between thirty and forty crowns. Even cheaper are Internet e-shops that offer them ever since fifteen crowns and reflective vests for adults from 100 CZK. It is necessary, however, to amount to credit for the service, which is often higher than the prices of the reflective element. Pedestrians who fail to comply with the obligation imposed by the law, not only threatens fines.

 

“They should also remember that without reflective material products run the risks that they will also have to pay some medical or other costs incurred in connection with a traffic accident,” said Roman Boesky Team of road safety.

New reflective uniforms for city workers

Municipal workers Caseros of works, services and RSU premiere uniforms

With new safety vest City Council renews and homogenizes the uniformity of all workers who perform their work on the street. In addition to improving visibility and safety adapted to the needs of each job

 

Personnel from the area have enjoyed the views of operators when choosing new uniforms to suit the demands of each job and whose acquisition has been coordinated by the Association Committee. Each worker received a team of two garments made up pants, polo shirt or jersey, thermal jacket, boots and suit special water in case the work of street cleaning and garbage collection (RSU). The Deputy Chief Mayor of staff, Juan Luis, explained that with these new clothes, the City Council has sought to renew and improve the uniformity of the workforce who performs their work on the street, thus enabling municipal services they are provided with the best possible conditions.

 

On that occasion it was decided by more standardized colors like blue combined with fluorescent yellow, optimizing the visibility of operators with bands incorporating retro-reflective material garments. And adapting to all security measures, for what has taken into account the requirements of each job as in the case of electricians, whose clothing is also anti – static and fire retardant.

In addition, the Department of Personnel will allocate another around 5,000 Euros for summer uniforms starting two garments for each worker made up pants, polo or short-sleeved shirt and reflective jacket, and whose delivery is expected in the coming months.

Mandatory carriage of reflective vests in private vehicles

Security measure seeks to reduce the risk of abuse due to lack of visibility. Fines would reach $ 22 billion. From January 1, 2016 will begin to be mandatory carrying of high visibility vests inside private vehicles. The measure aims to reduce the risk of collision with drivers for some emergency must descend from his car.

 

Undersecretary of Transport, Cristián Bowen, told  T13  a person without an accessory of these features is visible to twenty meters, with the vest since it is possible to spot it at 150 meters.

In Intervial route, we deliver reflective vest for drivers. Since the mandatory year in prox car Kit. On the characteristics that must have safety vest, Bowen said that no matter the color and “the important thing is that fluoresce and also has reflective elements.”

 

“It’s the cheapest life insurance I know,” he added.

Fines for not carrying the article will be about $ 22 billion and Undersecretary explained that it is important that this safety vest be carried into the cabin of the car to avoid the risk of going to look for the trunk.

Conductors marks the first days of reflective vest

Some keep the garment in the suitcase or the passenger seat, and believe that is only used on the road. Study of Automobile Club of Chile notes is that 81% of respondents approve of the measure.

 

He is dressed safety vest permanently in the day, they carry extended in the back or carry it in inappropriate places, such as the case of the vehicle seat. So drivers behaved four days became effective the requirement of the Ministry of Transport, carry a reflective vest to prevent accidents in low light hours.

 

Andrés Ceria, commercial engineer who lives in Bain, said that in that commune two extremes are presented: “There are people who wear the garment as part of daily dress and others leave it in the passenger seat.” He adds that “a third problem is that were exhausted, especially in small towns.”

 

Sergio, a taxi driver for more than 30 years ago, said support the use of new safety device drivers, although not clear where “I know they have to be used on highways or roads, but not on the streets (of cities) “.

 

Edgar Munoz, driver of Puente Alto, said that has no reflective jacket because “we are ramping up”. He also said that when you purchase this dress will keep in the trunk. Pedro, school transport, said the vest “is used cargo vehicles and is optional for the rest.”

 

José Luis Ojeda, commander of police in the area Transit and Highways, said that despite doubts after the audit made during the weekend of the New Year, “the perception is that people understood the meaning of the measure. It was understood that on highways and rural roads should wear this dress, although not required to do so “.

 

Low in stock

In the government they explained that there was a year for private prepare for the massive purchase of these objects. Christian Bowen, deputy transport, said that “the boom by having the reflective vest also shows an awareness of Chileans respect of road safety”. The authority added that the decree requires the carriage was published in September 2014. “In other words, there was one year and three months to inform importers of the measure and be able to source the stock necessary.”

 

A survey in trade shows that this garment practically sold out in the retail and hardware stores, so they have had to apply for new shipments. In shops aimed at cars, local only that Monday had the devices, where were sold at $ 6,990.

Stores are available only orange colored devices (at a price of $ 13,990), which are not allowed, as the mandatory tone is yellow.

Meanwhile, the Chilean Safety Association distributes the garment to affiliated companies for the category of transportation.

 

Despite the difficulties to be fully implemented the new provision, a study by the Automobile Club de Chile found that 81% of respondents supported the demand. Meanwhile, 64% say they would use reflective vest in an emergency overnight. “The results are positive; because we are reactionaries obligations like this in Chile. However, it does draw attention to the social networks that make fun of the provision, “said Alberto Escobar, manager of public affairs of the entity.

 

More elegantly stowing warning reflective vests

From 1 July onwards the general warning vigilance (European standard EN 471) applies in Germany. For this purpose, the Group is presenting an interior idea that not only increases the safety of the vehicle occupants, but also serves premium requirements.

 

As the interior experts emphasize, many drivers know the importance of the safety vest. But their sight is anything but beautiful, since the reflective signal colors often contrast strongly with the noble surfaces of a high-quality interior. To ensure that drivers are no longer required to stow away the legally prescribed warning vests in the door pockets, the glove compartment or even in the footwall, the warning vests in the interior idea of ​​the Darla Group disappear in several small suspension units. These can be located, for example, in the center console, in the instrument panel as well as in the door panels and are therefore no longer visible. As a result, the noble look of the premium interior is not impaired by the bright neon colors of the warning vests and, in case of emergency, the life guard is nevertheless easy to find.

 

Level 1: Warning indicator after activation of the hazard warning light. If the hazard warning system is activated in the event of a breakdown, the occupants can, by touching, open the respective roof cover itself, then quickly remove their warning vestiges, overlap and then leave the vehicle. With an optical indication, which starts to light up when the warning light is activated, the Darla Group ensures that vehicle occupants also know exactly where the high visibility vest suspensions can be found even at night or in low light conditions.

 

The expert for interior systems of premium vehicles makes use of his leather competences, among other things. Thus, on the leather-clad areas of the cockpit only light-colored light arrows are visible, which indicate the exact position of the warning vest compartments to the occupants. This is made possible by backlit leather, in which the corresponding areas are penetrated by a translucent micro-perforation, which is not visible in the normal case. In addition, the edges of the covers of the warning vest compartments should also be illuminated for better visibility.

 

Stage 2: Automatic to wear a warning vest after an accident

In an accident where the airbags are triggered, the life-saving warning vests come out of the interior compartments at the same time and are ready to be used with lightning speed. According to the idea of ​​the automotive supplier, the airbag sensors should also immediately trigger the release of the warning vests during a crash. The principle is comparable to a sudden pressure drop in an aircraft cabin, in which the oxygen masks also fall automatically from folding compartments above the seats.

Also here, according to the idea of ​​the Darla Group, ensure the colored light arrows? And even in very poor light and visibility conditions, such as after an airbag shot, in which gases and talcum are thrown through the air and can obscure visibility. In addition, in an accident, the vehicle occupants are often in an extreme stress situation. The handle for the life-saving warning reflective vest is therefore to be intuitive, very fast and easy. The Darla Group is now looking for car manufacturers for the joint development of the interior idea.

Reflectors for pedestrians

German transport politicians dream like zero fatalities. For this purpose they have to decide but also unpopular things. For example, a duty-high visibility vest for pedestrians in the winter as implemented in the Nordic countries.

 

Stuttgart – The number of deaths is expected to rise in Germany this year for the second time in a row again – after a long period of decline. Experts expect about 3450 victims, 2014 were 3377. Almost 16 percent of traffic fatalities last year were pedestrians, more than a third of the 523 killed in traffic pedestrian died in the months of November to January. This figure could be halved, if you believe the studies that come from Nordic countries. Where it is dark in the winter especially long, are reflectors on clothes for pedestrian’s duty.

 

One reader, in Finland grew, told our newspaper, as the runs there: “Every year, in the fall of the great memories – Radio, TV, newspapers, everywhere, Embark visible – forget the reflectors not ‘!.” Even a child never let out the children without reflectors her grandmother. “She did well to us that they as adults during the day has its reflector in his coat pocket and in the evening reshot on tape, so that the hanging at knee level, because the amount the cars have their lights.”

 

Even a small plastic piece that reflects the light of the cars would help. According to Finnish studies, a motorist at night a passerby with reflector detect already 150 meters before. Without reflector is only 40 meters.

 

Prescribing want you in this country nothing

In Finland reflectors since 2003 duty in Germany, they have so far not been successful at pedestrians. School starters wear perhaps reflective safety vest and luminous satchel. Most adults, however, are without reflectors on the road – in winter also often even in dark clothes.

That it would be different better, one acknowledges the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport. “It would have a positive road safety effect if all would move only dressed with reflective and light-colored clothes in public places at night always”, it says. But not everything Am working was also appropriate.

 

France has a high visibility vests mandatory for cyclists

In plain language, Hereby introduce a mandatory reflectors as in Finland or excite at the federal level, we do not think the Stuttgart Department of Transportation. “We inform people about the safety by bright or reflective clothing,” said a spokesman. “People can then decide for themselves how they want to behave.”

 

Also in terms of the visibility of cyclists, are employed in this country to inspect and voluntary. Focus of awareness campaigns is the lighting on the bicycle. The General German Bicycle Club (ADFC) shows students for example by means of a dark tunnel, how bad cyclists are seen without reflectors and lighting.

 

In other countries there is stricter for cyclists partly. Under French law, for example, since October 2008, for cyclists a reflective vest mandatory outside built – at night and in poor visibility. On posters, he was photographed in a yellow safety vest with the slogan: “It’s yellow, it’s ugly, and it matches nothing. But it can save your life. “
