Confusion around reflective vests for cars

Not so long ago, the motoring public outraged obligation to change the content of these chests, even if it has not been used in any part of them.

 

In doing so, experts said that some medical reflective materials have a much longer life than what is declared on the roster. Most drivers take at least this provision as a waste.

 

This week, some news sites Rosslea white series drivers with information about the need to change the mandatory reflective vests for new ones, according to new EU regulations. Then it but responded Transport Minister Dan stream with a simple statement: Drivers may not change reflective vests equipped vehicles.

 

“The protective properties of the vest that matched an earlier European standard EN 471, are sufficient in terms of safety and meet the technical requirements. I’d like to reassure motorists clearly that they do not throw your jacket that you made earlier and not have to buy new ones, “said Dan.

 

The requirement of implementing the new standard EN ISO 20471, according to the office applies only to manufacturers, who market the new safety vest. Older vests that have the desired properties, it is not necessary to replace new.

“We’re the new ones do not even have, but we do not sell anything that does not pay,” said a saleswoman at a gas station under the new bridge, where the editors newspaper tried to buy a new vest.

 

People in buying a new reflective vest in any case must now check the label, and complies with the European standard. Old standard EN 471 is no longer valid.

Warning vest, designed as mandatory equipment for motor vehicles according to current regulations, is that which is marked by EN ISO 20471: 2013 and AS INDICATED four-digit identification number of the notified body that it has tested.

 

According to available information, the “old” vest according to EN 471 should be resold for cyclists and pedestrians, but the product must be removed the name ‘warning vest “and an indication that it is a high-visibility clothing. While vest according to the old standard cost around thirty crowns vest according to the new decree will come to around sixty crowns.

 

The new decree brings many surprises and controversies, such as the recent controversy around the right of way at roundabouts. Warning vests may not be the last.

Reflective vests outside of the village

The Senate passed the amendment without changes, which among other things allows municipalities to restrict the operation of SEGWAY. The standard also directs pedestrians to wear reflective material outside the village and allows police to detain small technical certificate in poor technical condition of the vehicle.

 

He decided on Wednesday by the Senate despite efforts by some senators who wanted, among other things, remove the officers the right to measure the speed or allow cyclists to ride after drinking less alcohol. The amendment, which also saves motorists obligation to clean up vehicles from the ice and snow from where they obstructed from view, now gets to the signature of the president.

 

Norma has also permitted to remove a half year driving license for those who crossed the railway crossing at the time of signal arrival. The fine for such an offense is not increased yet, as advocated by the Greens, the Social Democrats by Senator Peter Galas but in the future considering the increase from five thousand to five times.

 

The largest part of the three-hour debate took the Senators debate on the abolition of the right of officers to measure the rate that pushed the chairman of the ODS senators and Teplice Mayor. “The proposal for the deletion of the possibility to measure the speed of vehicles of municipal police, the Ministry of Transport pursuant to the Ministry of the Interior adopted a negative opinion,” said Transport Minister Dan in reflective uniforms. He reasoned, inter alia, that the change was not discussed with the concerned authorities and was not evaluated its impact on traffic safety and investment communities to radar.

 

Keera argued that many communities want only improve incomes, and therefore leave the rate measured outside built-up areas. He also pointed to the administration and the increase in unpaid fines for traffic offenses, which according to him, over the past five years has climbed from 29 million to 43 million.

 

CSSD chairman senators admitted that the city police would not have to measure your speed, but compensates for insufficient capacity of the police officers in order to ensure greater safety in the communities. This also argued Sen. “I speak against itself, because I patroness of the city police. Very often it subsidizes for speeding,” she said.

 

Senate deputy chairman Zeneca (CSSD) proposed to enable cyclists either by the Austrian model 0.8 per mile of alcohol in the blood, if they went after a third-class road or bike paths, or alternatively 0.5 percent. It would also limit the maximum amount of fines for alcohol for cyclists at 500 crowns. He argued that the police often collect fines on the wine trails.

 

The obligation reflective elements for pedestrians, a vest or just armbands, Transport Minister said that for her violations will face a fine of up to two thousand. Flak also said that the ministry has an agreement with the police that more people handing out reflective tape. He also announced that his office is trying to deal with the Czech Association of Insurance Companies to provide towing vehicles unusable.

Drivers reflective vests may not be changed

Transport Ministry reassures the driver that you do not have to change older reflective vests for new manufactured according to new European standards. With that, the older models are still acceptable, but oppose some manufacturer’s reflective vests.

 

According to company owner DAS already older vests do not match the decree of the Ministry of Transport. “The warning vest according to the old standard 471 already exists under the law, because it is canceled and cannot be used as a security feature,” says Damsel.

 

This interpretation, however, strongly protested the Ministry of Transport. According to Minister Dan Movement for YES correspond to the old safety vest all technical and safety requirements and motorists clearly calms.

 

“No one will have to buy anything new. Of the Decree does not, it would have to conduct change. Correspond qualitatively as well as the old ones, “he says.

The requirements of European standards apply only to new vests that only manufacturer on the market. They are required to put on the vest as labels with standard four-digit number.

 

According to the Insurance Association spokesman Ales not insurance in case of accidents addressed if the subscriber used an older or newer vest.

“I think it would be unable to prove that it could have some effect and those vests are visually more or less the same,” added the spokesman.

People also there are no use for elderly reflective fabric vests any sanctions from the police.
