On St. Nicholas Day, elementary school children were informed about the correct behavior in the dark: the importance of wearing reflective clothing at night. In tow, Santa Claus had not servant Utrecht, but two policemen and experts from the ADAC.
Santa knows everything. He knows who can write beautifully, paint well or calculate quickly. He knows who a good footballer or a vocalist singer, who is visiting Primary School on December 6, knows a lot more. Namely, how important it is to be clearly visible from the road. And he does not have farmhand Utrecht, but two policemen and experts from the ADAC.
“The safety vest is your flare,” explains the long-bearded and red-robed man to the girls and boys of the class 1b. He brings some to himself. Some wear yellow ADAC vests, others do not. A policeman turns off the light and everyone can see it: anyone who wears a vest is immediately recognizable, but others hardly recognize it – especially not if they wear dark jackets and trousers. First graders also learn how to cross a zebra crossing correctly and how little a driver sees in the dark. After that, of course, comes what everyone has been waiting for: Nicholas opens his bag, chocolate, rulers and reflective tapes come to light. This St. Nicholas day, the children agree, they will not forget so fast.
