Bicycle training with safety vest at the primary school

“Not so fast,” warns Lothar Philipps, road safety consultant of district police in safety vest, the children on their bikes. In the audit of bicycle training at the primary school Altena, location Dahle, the primary school students were able to demonstrate their skills.

The training is part of Mobiliäts- and traffic education during primary school. Even before the summer holidays the children had begun with the theory classes. “Which road signs are there and what do they mean?”, “Why a dead is angle so dangerous?” And “What are the main traffic rules?” – All these issues were at the Science Education Program.

 

Before we went into the practical training, the children various questions about what has been learned had to answer in a test. “Students in reflective vest have very well made and always hung in all,” said tangible lesson teacher. Together with the local police in person by Hoffmann, and with Lothar Philipps of the district police, then the practical part was designed.

 

In five double lessons, the children got acquainted with different traffic situations. “Above all, it comes to strengthen motor skills and implement the previously learned traffic rules into practice,” explains Lothar Philipps. “The children should also learn that even if they behave properly, it can come through other traffic accidents,” said the Police.

 

With the final test, the children gained a bicycle through. “A kind of certificate is participation with no driver’s license.” In the entire practical training were supporting the teachers and the police of the students’ parents in safety clothing.

Safety vest help to avoid traffic accident

The VDI safety experts have examined the accident in Germany according to the polluter pays principle. The result: Between 830 and 1180 death victims could be avoided in safety vest in 2020.

 

The VDI Expert Panel has analyzed the accident for each individual means of transport, deduced the need for action, and quantified potential savings. According to this, between 830 and 1180 accidents per year can be prevented in Germany in 2020. The two most important levers to avoid traffic congestion are the renewal of the car fleet and the resulting improvement in safety technology, as well as a reduction in the diversion of road users with a potential of 200 to 300 victims each. Half the non-front-end quota could be 200, the renewal and equipping of the truck fleet with assistance systems between 40 and 80 haulers’ less. Up to 80 traffic victims are less to be achieved by driving training for motorcyclists, older drivers and drivers. In each case about 50 victims could be avoided by improved visibility of the pedestrians and cyclists, by better safety clothing of the motorcyclists and by the increased wearing of bicycle helmets in connection with helmets for pedelecs.

 

“We are at a point where we cannot make much progress with individual measures and purely on the road, and if we want to significantly reduce the number of traffic tonnages, we must include the infrastructure and the behavioral measures of the transport sector,” explains Professor Rodolfo in reflective vest, Chairman of the VDI-FVT and Centerleiter at Daimler.

Safety vest let pedestrian isn’t defenseless

In the autumn-winter period, police in safety vest have to caring more about pedestrians. The rain limited visibility, inattention of pedestrians and drivers, and soon the gathering dusk and misery ready.

 

Just last week in Gorzow there were two accidents involving pedestrians. Both happened on the street. 6 December, 21-year-old driver of the jeep hit a 13-year-old. The next day, a few hundred meters away, 74-year-old head of Ford hit a 52-year-old. The result of these events was fracture in foot. In 2016, the district occur 34 accidents involving pedestrians, who killed 4 people and 32 were injured. In 2015, there were 31 events, two people were killed and 32 were injured.

 

And here arises the eternal question – which is to blame? Is pedestrian who suddenly barged into the street and stopping even for a split second, whether the driver who did not slow down before entering the crosswalk? Each event is different, but many of them can be avoided. Police remind that pedestrians need to wear a reflective vest to take care of visibility. Drivers should be focused all the time.

 

– Short days are not conducive to the safety of pedestrians. Quickly the gathering dusk makes passing through the street people are barely visible. The situation does not improve clothing in dark colors – explains Yarashevich team press police. Pedestrians also forgot about the one basic principle that learning in every kindergarten, first look to the left then right and left again and just move briskly!

 

Poland does not have a provision that would require the driver to stop when a pedestrian approaches the crossing. – Pedestrians have priority when they are already on the transition – said Jaroszewicz. But it is worth to observe oncoming traffic. We are not sure whether the driver of the car in time we notice. Short way to set-off is a situation in which a pedestrian onto the road behind obstacles or directly under a moving vehicle. The driver will not have time to stop the car. In the autumn-winter period the braking distance can be extended by the wet or icy surface.

 

The police urge to wear reflective elements also in urban areas. Besides the pedestrians do not have other option – the rules clearly state that glare must wear each. But there are exceptions: the pedestrian may move after dusk outside the built-up area without reflective material, if it is on the road intended for pedestrians.

Police regularly carry out actions aimed at pedestrian safety. Officer’s education starts already among the youngest. Those elders must reckon with the legal consequences of their behavior. Irresponsible drivers and pedestrians dismissive rules are admonished by the police. Officers traced back not only mandated blocks. In the event of serious infringements of the matter direct to the court.

Reflective vest is one of the car safety equipment

It is worth remembering that the law, which applies to road traffic, is not uniform – in different European countries have very different restrictions. But the safety vest is the same safety equipment for using car. Here’s database of information on what to look for before embarking on a journey through the most popular tourist destinations, in order to avoid the mandate.

 

Poles like to use the car, because the value and freedom of this mode of transport. Are not dependent on the distribution of buses can take any route or stop when they feel like it. Car’s trunk always will put a safety reflective vest for just in case. Car traveling is mainly to countries such as the Czech Republic, Germany and Croatia. When you travel in the more remote areas, such as Egypt, Turkey and Greece, but often decide to travel by plane.

 

Before going abroad should check what your country speed limit, fuel prices, tolls, and – what should necessarily be in the car. Such knowledge will help to avoid fines – and these can be very high (in France, exceeding the speed limit by 50 km / h will cost up to 1,500 Euros in Spain – about 600 Euros).

 

Equipment that is not all. You should also take care to minimize the impact of unforeseen events, not just traffic. A reflective jacket and triangle sign is necessary if the car in broken on the road. Important turns out to also purchase appropriately selected travel insurance, covering medical expenses abroad or repairing damaged equipment. An important role is also played by car insurance – the so-called. Auto Assistance – is an optional addition to travel insurance. Provide rapid assistance in the event of failure, collision or theft of the vehicle. Its range includes, among others.

Winter flying with safety vest

Although Poland does not have a tradition of riding single-track in the winter, in other countries such the United Kingdom, it is a matter entirely normal. Interestingly winter flying can make a lot of fun; you only need to properly prepare for this, like safety vest and other safety accessories. Therefore, if you cannot part with a motorcycle in the winter days, this article is for you.

 

Who is the hardcore winter and wants to ride motorcycles?

Riding a motorcycle in winter differs greatly from summer driving. First of all, during the winter it is worth remembering that the day is much shorter, what is more, we have a rule to deal with more cloud cover, often also fog, snow, sleet, and this in turn affects our visibility. So remember, in that period you need to take care of it, to be visible to other road users.

Drivers of cars and so will have a lot of problems with its own visibility, pouring snow, it does not affect well on safety.

To increase your visibility, invest in the right clothes, avoid these only in black, all kinds of panels, reflective or fluorescent can save your life. If you want to ensure maximum safety, wear a reflective vest. Yes, we know it has just as many supporters as well as opponents, but remember, in these days is not only about your safety.

 

Suitable positioning of your visibility on the road may also be dependent on the appropriate stop / set motorcycle. Therefore, do not stop too close to the vehicle in front, not ‘hide’ behind the cars. Setting up so as to be visible, try to catch eye contact with the driver of the car, over-signifying their intentions.

Finally, if you are a player that uses tinted windows, replace it, use transparent and in winter it is a godsend, it will prevent fogging visor for which so easily by connecting breath with rain and moisture out.

 

Drive smoothly, plan maneuvers!

As you know, the winter riding in principle only after the wet, often icy so it’s important to plan your maneuvers, give yourself time to make decisions, all kinds of hasty action in the best case will end tipper. This means that your horse should be progressive and delicate, especially when it comes to energy use and motorcycle brakes. Make slow and patient. Leave yourself more space to think and react, adequate distance from the vehicle always gives a few precious seconds to decide, even in slippery conditions. Thought! This is the most important. Think about the situation on the road, rubble, puddles, holes in the road are the next opponents, therefore, give you some time to be able to safely ride next to them.

 

Take care not only about yourself, remember the motorcycle

Winter is a difficult time not only for you but also for your bike so it’s important to make sure it is in good condition. The biggest problem in the winter operation of motorcycle owners are air-cooled machines. If the temperature drops below zero, the motorcycle works differently than in summer. Then one can hear a under processing engine. During winter driving in reflective clothing should also replace the spark plug to spark a different heat. Similarly, replacement of oil, it is better to replace. Another benefit of the suspension, the winter may behave differently. However, the greatest enemy of the winter is the risk of corrosion resulting. Therefore, we apply security to leave on your machine protective layer, so any kind of spoiled, dirty snow does not penetrate metal.

Safety vest can save lives

Karl Lagerfeld (famous French designer) in an advertisement for the yellow safety vest: “It is yellow, ugly and fit for nothing, but can save lives.” The end of the yellow safety vest, but not safety

 

For Multimedia News Release, please click here:

The young French start-up “Urban Circus” proved this fashion guru to the contrary by created a collection that no longer has anything in common with the original yellow safety vest, except the safety standards that they met.

 

The yellow reflective vest is now neither ugly nor yellow, but represents a collection piece, which comes directly from the street and was inspired and now shines with a stylish look and a brilliant cut while she complies with safety standards EN1150 and ISO 20,471th Road safety is now colorful and fun.

 

The style is accompanied by the new means of transport and the fabulous success of electric, modern urban mobility. This jacket was designed exactly for this purpose.

 

A high-tech jacket

Urban Circus is a proud representative of the French fashion technology. After a year of research and development and after every detail has been thought out meticulously, the new collection comes with the following features is finally on the market:

– Sewn flashing LEDs

– Tactile GPS specialist

– Flexible, breathable and water-repellent material

– Compliance with the standards for good visibility

– Breathable and water-repellent material.

– The jacket is also reversible and has a smooth side.

 

Safety first principle

We pay special attention to the road safety and the environment, which is why we work with the following partners: the insurance MAIF, the French road safety and the Paris City Hall.

 

Thanks to its visibility from a distance of about 250 meters instead of 30 meters, the jacket could a driver give an additional reaction time of 2 seconds and thus avoid a possible accident.

 

70% of road accidents occur due to lack of visibility, and especially in this time of year, visibility is an important issue. Our goal is to expand the possibilities for using the yellow reflective jacket and to reduce these risks.

 

The new collection, which can be pre-ordered on Kick starter, is an excellent demonstration of the “savoir-faire” of French young start-ups. The world is just beginning to discover Urban Circus, but the best is yet.

Police calls: Be careful on the road with safety vest

Be careful. The ruling from a few days the weather is the best testimony of variation autumn weather. Police in safety vest said that road conditions are variable and dangerous not only for managers but also pedestrians. The road surface is icy and often polluted and so slippery with the falling leaves. These conditions significantly lengthen braking distances and hinder safe driving.

 

Drivers should primarily be careful on bridges, overpasses, hills, close to forests and water bodies, because, despite the seemingly good surface roadway there may be icy.

 

Please also use caution in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings. Longer braking distance during the fast of dusk and late light morning is a greater risk to pedestrians. Police in reflective vest said there was a major accident. Audi fell under the wheels of 5-year-old girl. The incident took place at a pedestrian crossing.

 

We also remind pedestrians to not enter the roadway directly in front of an oncoming vehicle. It is the most common mistake. On average, every second case, which occurs through the fault of the pedestrian, this is caused.

 

Moreover, we appeal to cyclists, which are often at this time of year can be found on the way to taking care of their own safety not to forget about visibility. Vest with reflective tape, pendant, bracelet, or even a simple flashlight will make moving around the dimly lit road will be more visible to oncoming driver.

Drivers in safety vest use new Ice Screen screens light

The Italian Givi presented at the last trade fair of Milan a new range of high-tech deflectors for motorcycle and scooter. Except wearing a safety vest to keep visibility, when they cross the lights of an automobile, its windscreens and bubbles “Ice Screen” illuminate in blue. An obvious security advantage for night and winter trips!

 

When riding a motorcycle or scooter, good visibility on the road reduces considerably the risk of road accidents. In the absence of democratization of the yellow vest, so-called “high visibility” solutions have multiplied: retro-reflective inserts, switched to intelligent materials and even LEDs. With its latest innovation, the Italian Givi pushes the concept a little further…

 

In the framework of the last EICMA fair in Milan, he introduced a new concept of front defroster stamped “Ice Screen”. The idea is as simple as it is effective: when the device is illuminated by traffic lights moving in the opposite direction, it emits a powerful blue light that resembles a neon light like reflective material. Its traditional role, protection against wind and rain, is thus doubled with an active safety feature!

 

This innovation has just been released from Givi cartons and is only available for 2 models: the Honda CB 500 F (2016) and the Honda SH 125i (2012-2016) scooter. The complexity of manufacturing (application of pigments on edges and new polishing technique) also prevents its use on large surfaces: it will be necessary to wait to see disembark Ice-shields high-protection protection.

 

The new Givi Ice Screen range is developed on the basis of the standard models, it benefits from the same advantages, starting with its simplicity of adaptation. Each bubble or windscreen is mounted on the original fasteners thanks to a supplied hardware kit. Motorcycle can drive it safety with reflective vest and use this new accessory. While waiting for the release of a version for Yamaha T-Max 2017, the models for CB500F and Sh125i are displayed at the respective prices of 142.60 and 70.10 €.

Yellow vest and the puzzle of the inputs and outputs of schools

How secure around schools at entry and exit hours of the students? In the presence of yellow reflective vest, the mayor added by the year-end CCTV cameras in more than a dozen schools. A measure which some families are infuriated by the lack of civility of motorists would have welcomed.

 

Another fifteen minutes before the end of the class, but there is already no free parking space Street Kortrijk. “It’s like this every day,” says Nathalie. Not only 15 h 30, but also the morning hours as well as supervising meals, “the worst remaining on Wednesday at 11: 30 pm” because the 240 children in safety vest of primary school de Lisle without exception leave the establishment.

 

In a one-way street, with parking spaces scattered on both sides, the inputs and outputs cause students to fail caps and irritations. Wearing the vest for the second year, Nathalie agrees: “Some do not hesitate to block access to individual garages, others settle double-parked with their hazard lights…”

 

“You can never park,” says Sophia (mother of a student of CP) who prefers to come off. “And every year, I think it’s getting worse,” Corinne abounds attending school for ten years. “It’s simple: they take school for a Drive!” And on the other side, in the nursery, the situation is no better. Street Dr is even closer, the school gates are located just before a bend and parking is even more restricted, some drivers do not hesitate to stop on the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to take the floor.

Far from being an isolated case

 

To compel more civil, the mayor announced that nearly 14 schools would be equipped with CCTV cameras by the end of the year. Ultimately, the goal is also to power video-report offenders. If many parents in this neighborhood of Equality are in favor of this measure, judge for his part that “this is abuse.” “After dropping my daughter, I’m going straight to work: I am therefore obliged to take my car,” she pleads. “I think the solution is to take into account the flow of vehicles and would provide is a small parking lot with reflective tape signs.”

 

“There are places in the streets around” replied Sebastian, taking for example the streets of Warsaw,” you just take the trouble to walk 300 to 500 meters.  “An argument which few parents conductors are sensitive, especially the return of bad days … And the school is far from an isolated case.

The safety vest with reflective tape: a new safety for bikers

At a time when we are talking about the bad numbers of road safety and the protection of motorcyclists, they will be able to equip themselves with a safety vest with advanced technology.

 

As the government tries to sensitize bikers to safety, especially with its new standards imposing the yellow reflective vest and homologated gloves, the Hi-Airbag Connect makes its appearance. Bikers themselves admit that driving in agglomeration is becoming more and more difficult and dangerous, so any new protection will be welcome. Because they already have complete equipment, from helmets to boots to a jacket with back protector, the airbag is an additional weight protection to limit the trauma of the spine.

 

There are already airbags, but these were equipped with a strap that had to be hung on the handlebars and sensors in strategic places. But this concept could be activated in case of false movement, the solution was not ideal. In addition, if the biker forgot to hang his waistcoat, this one had no more interest. With the Hi-Airbag Connect, everything is simpler. It is worn as a classic waistcoat in reflective fabric but has a microprocessor that analyzes all the movements of the motorcycle. If a behavior no longer corresponds to the recorded parameters, the gas cartridge is triggered and the airbag inflates in 120 milliseconds.
