Students to cross safely with wear safety vest

If there are qualified people to estimate the dangerousness of the pedestrian crossings near the schools, it is the “yellow reflective vest” that are responsible for crossing the street to schoolchildren and college students throughout the city. Myriad Uterus has been crossing students for more than 5 years at the edge of the college of the school city. It allows students to cross the Avenue to reach the buses parked at the Rhine-Danube esplanade.

“I received training by the Municipal Police of Armanda. From the first day, we are confronted with the problems of the field. During the training, I was taught how to position myself to get the students to cross safely. I always position myself on the same sidewalk as the kids. In addition, the officer in safety vest is regularly monitored by the municipal police services, to verify that it complies with all the usual precautions.

College students are used to following his instructions and waiting for his agreement to cross. “Children are not too much of a problem. Some high school students prefer to cross alone because they are tall but in general, each crossing is secure, “says Myriad Uterus.

If she crosses the children in groups to be visible and to guarantee them greater security, she herself runs into the dangerous behavior of the motorists. “Almost every day, I see drivers accelerating in this area, especially when a train arrives. It’s a street where people drive very fast. Sometimes, some motorists force the passage. “A few days ago, a car passed while I was still in the middle of the road.”

Yet the agent is very easily recognizable, his yellow vest and his “light saber” red, allowing him to stop vehicles. But she wants to point out that people, who are used to it, drive carefully.

Yellow vest and gloves are mandatory for all

That could again make the bikers angry. With the New Year, two-wheeled motorcycle owners will have to comply with two new obligations. The safety vest, first of all, it is that every motorcycle or scooter driver will have to carry with his hands, in his panniers or his top-case, whereas it is compulsory for the motorists since 2008. In the contrary case, the offender exposes himself to a first class ticket for 17 Euros. And as for motorists, the motorcyclist will have to wear it in case of emergency stop. Otherwise, he is liable to a fine of 135 Euros.

The other equipment that becomes mandatory is the pair of gloves. Not mittens or woolen gloves, but leather gloves duly approved. The implementing decree introducing this obligation must be published in the coming days.

“It will help not to destroy your hands too much”

We know the drivers of two-wheelers loving freedom, so what do they think of these obligations? In the category of good students, there is David, 41, biker to the tips of his fingers. “Me, I have the helmet, boots, a leather jacket, gloves and a yellow vest in my bag”. We want to put a 20/20, especially since according to him, impose gloves to all drivers of motorized two-wheelers; it is a measure of common sense. “I always have gloves, if you fancy your mouth; it will help not to destroy your hands too much”.

“It’s 60 Euros a pair,” he explains. He has an idea that could encourage all drivers to equip themselves: “There could be a small financial assistance, or maybe a discount at the insurance level for us to be equipped.”

“Intrusive rules that add up all the time”

It would calm down Yank, 34, who rides on a scooter. He bought a yellow jacket reluctantly and for the approved gloves, he is not ready to equip himself. “It’s quite restrictive, and everyone should be free to decide whether or not to wear gloves based on the risk they take.” He is annoyed by the “extra rules that are added all the time”. He finds this “intrusive”.

Additional obligations, there is an additional freedom all the same this year for the two wheels. From February 1st, motorcycles and scooters will be able to circulate between two lines of car in Ile-de-France, in Gironde, and in Rhône. Until then, it was only tolerating.

False employees in yellow vest steal works of art

A duo of vandals seized a dozen mosaics of the street artist Invader in broad daylight.

Who are the smart guys, wearing a fluorescent yellow vest, flanked by a large ladder and rolling in Mercedes “who pretend to be agents of the City of Paris” and come to pick up in daylight the works of the street artist Invader?

The question stirred Twitter. Some Parisians, believing that the City was at the origin of this initiative, were offended. Pierre, twists, adds: “2 possibilities: it is about residents who asked to remove it, or they are thieves.” The controversy went back to Jerome Comet, the mayor (PS) of the thirteenth, who knows the artist well and whose works are particularly present in the borough, as well as at the Hotel de Ville.

For several days, this funny crew has been seen attacking the famous mosaics that bloom on the walls of Paris, representing the little guys “Space Invaders” inspired by the video game of 1978. And who can resell expensive… The procedure is peculiar: one of the false agents in yellow reflective vest, perched on a ladder, seeks to take off the work, the other, down, eventually answering the questions of passers-by, like “We are from the City”! When their job is over, the duo goes back to Mercedes!

“At no time was it asked to remove these works”

“At no time was it asked to remove these works,” said one of the spokesmen of the Paris City Hall yesterday, who says on the contrary “in total support to Invader” . The pseudo agents in fluorescent vest have also by the look of the agents of the DPE (Directorate of cleanliness and water) who dressed in green, ensure the cleanliness and maintenance of public space.

“These flights are a problem, regrets Jerome Comet. Moreover, boulevard Saint-Germaine, at the level of Odeon, a condominium, proud to have on its wall a mosaic of the artist, protected it by putting a glass anti-theft! In Paris, many of these works on the walls are incomplete. People are trying to take off without success. The artist, who cannot complain because he sticks his mosaics at night, masked and most of the time without permission, uses, by design, glues more and more powerful!

Safety vest is mandatory for the safety of drivers

They have been mandatory since 2008, for the safety of drivers. However, according to a study conducted for the Enterprise Rent-A-Car rental company, one in four French citizens does not have a safety vest or a pre-signaling triangle in their car.

Karl Lagerfeld had promoted it in 2008, but 9 years later, 24% of French people still do not have in their car the famous yellow vest, to use in case of emergency. This is the result of a study Optimum Institute / Enterprise Holdings, conducted for the car rental Enterprise Rent-A-Car. However, in case of incident, the driver must wear this vest before leaving his vehicle, to be sure of being seen by other motorists.

Priority in the event of an incident: getting safe

With the yellow vest, the legislation also imposes the presence in the vehicle of a pre-signaling triangle, to indicate to other road users the presence of a car stopped on the side of the road. But again, the French do not seem better informed. 22% of respondents say they do not have a triangle in the passenger compartment.

“In emergency situations, the priority is to be safe, to have a yellow vest and a pre-signaling triangle,” recalls Christophe Raymond, director of studies at the Association Prevention Router. road, stop as far as possible from the roadway, put the life jacket on and take all occupants to the right, then secure the incident site, placing it 50 meters upstream of the vehicle, or before a turn “.

135 Euros fine in the absence of vest or triangle

On highway, Christophe Raymond advises to pass quickly behind the barrier, to get in safety. As the vehicle is immobilized on the emergency stop band, it is not necessary to install a pre-signaling triangle. In the absence of the reflective vest and / or the triangle, the offending motorists risk 135 Euros of fine. Note that the driver must also have a breathalyzer in the cabin.

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. ”

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.

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.

You go to darkness to shop, friends, school or church – remember to wear reflective vest! They can save your life!

It has been a year since the introduction of regulations that require anyone who after dark to walk on undeveloped terrain wear reflective. Police officers are reminded that they have a duty to check that we “shine” in the dark.

– It does not necessarily have to be a yellow vest. You can have a tie, a tinsel or a pendant that has reflective elements – explains asp. The reflection must be visible when we walk side by side. For his lack of police can be punished with a mandate. Up to 500 zł!

– Pedestrians with reflective elements are seen on the road at a distance of more than 150 meters.

Good visibility of the pedestrian will give the driver a chance at his early notice, and thus avoiding the accident. There is no need to worry about walking on the sidewalk in the built-up area.

Do not forget about it:

Always have a reflective tape. You do not have to wear a yellow vest. It is important that you have a fluorescent band. Available in the market are in colors: yellow, white, blue. The bicyclists put on their feet and hands, so you can do that too

Ladies can attach small reflective pendants to their bags. Such beams in the spotlight can be seen from afar. It’s a sign to the driver that walking is moving along the way. Men can wear armbands, on legs or waistcoats, which we will buy for 5-10 zlotys

The youngest child can buy reflective toys in the form of toy teddy bears, elephants that flash. The point is to attract the attention of road traffic. The cost of buying such a gadget is 3 to 5 zł. We put it in a prominent place, on a backpack, a jacket, or a bag that holds a toddler going home

When buying a jacket for autumn, you should choose one that already has sewn reflective stripes. Many sportswear stores have such covers. If you do not have such a jacket, you can buy a reflective tape in trimmings and make a baby in a jacket or a school bag.

Watch out for the mandate. If you are not at dusk visible by moving in undeveloped area you can get a mandate. From 20 to 500 zł. How much we get depends on the policeman and on the threat that we caused. The participant of the traffic is not only a driver on the road, but also a pedestrian.

Protect your children easily with a safety jacket

Tripod has developed a safety jacket for children, easy to put on and use, thanks to its unique central buckle. Keeping your children safe will be a breeze.

Putting a lifejacket on a child can quickly turn out to be a perilous exercise, as long as it moves, there are straps everywhere, or the waistcoat is not intuitive to buckle. Tripod – a brand of sailing sports at Decathlon – has just released a simple life-saving vest that simply slips on a T-shirt: the Easy life vest.

On the left side, a scratch allows you to hold the reflective vest strap to be able to clip the single central loop more easily, especially if your child is moving. With its “fit” shape, there is virtually no need for subcutaneous if equipped. Indeed, its short shape on the front makes it does not ascend under the chin of your child, leaving it free of its movements.

The back is padded for comfort and at the back of the head; there is also foam that will keep your child’s head out of the water. For children under 15 kg, the subcutaneous is replaced by panties. The Easy life vest is rated 100 nektons (ISO12402-4). It has the indispensable safety elements (whistle and reflective strips) and its fluorescent orange and gray colors, just as its design gives it a modern and pleasant look.

Note the absence of yellow vest which makes it easy to catch a child fallen in the water. The team is working on it and could well integrate this system on a future version. For now, it will be enough to recover it by the shoulders.
