A 50-YEAR HUNTER, VICTIM OF MORTAL ACCIDENT AT THE BERTESTI

* The man had descended from a van that had failed to put a reflective triangle on the road but was hit by a car driven by a 43-year-old Braille from Victoria

The end came on his way home for a 50-year-old man from Galas, the victim of the road accident from Thursday night to Friday, between Bertie DE Jews and Spire Caret. The man was in the van belonging to a construction company in Galas and came from a work done in Constance. At the wheel, there is another 28-year-old Gaiman.

As the Braille police officers established Thursday evening, the driver in Galatia was driving the Isuzu van on DJ 212, from Constable to Braille, but because of a malfunction, he stopped the vehicle in the county of Braille. The driver gave the passenger 50 years of age a reflective vest and signaling triangle, both occupants descending to put the reflective triangles.

When the 50-year-old arrived at the back of the cabin, although he had a reflective jacket, the reflective tapes on the jacket is broken, he was not noticed by the driver of a “Volkswagen Polo” that struck him. After the impact, the man was projected over the van and then fell on the roadside. Unfortunately, he died on the spot.

The car that was driven by a 43-year-old Braille from Victoria has entered the back of the van. The accident resulted in the injuries of the two drivers, the car and the car, but also the two passengers in the car, two 53-year-old and 60-year-old men from Victoria. The driver of the van was tested with the Protestant, the result is zero.

The man driving the VW car could not be tested and blood samples for blood alcohol were collected. Local witnesses said that the Braille driver was moving at speed and was under the influence of alcohol. The cops will set the truth. They have filed a criminal record for murder and personal injury.

How far does it take for a car at 65 km / h not to hit a pedestrian?

A car traveling at 65 km / h at night needs a distance of more than 40 meters to avoid hitting a pedestrian or a corridor. ‘runner’. At this time of year, with the shortest days, in which thousands of professional and amateur runners go out to train -even competing- at night, the maxim of “see and be seen” is essential to avoid provoking or being a victim of an accident.

Numerous studies show that reduced visibility is one of the determining factors in pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore, it is important that the night corridor, that pedestrian of the high risk that moves quickly, make sure to be visible to the rest of users of the road, something that too often does not happen. Thinking especially about the night corridor, and to help make your outings safer, the Philips lighting brand, which manufactures and markets Illumines, puts at your disposal the Philips HDL10 headlamp, an ergonomic device with LED technology that provides a soft light with which to beat the darkness in each training

The organizers of the “IX Workshop for Road Safety and Responsible Maintenance of Vehicles” that will be held on March 10 in Madrid and of which Illumines is a sponsoring company through the Philips lighting brand, also recommends drivers to check the lighting system of vehicles, and runners use lighting devices to run, such as LED fronts.

Not in vain, a “runner” that is not visible to motorists assumes a great risk. It is enough to mention that, at night, and according to the conclusions of a study prepared by the Vehicle Research Institute, Farrago Center, a runner wearing dark clothes is only visible at less than 20 meters for the motorist who circulates with the lights of crossing at 40 km / h, which makes it impossible to stop the vehicle within your visual range. In the same situation, but if the runner wears clean clothes, the visual range of the driver would be less than 40 m, so that driving at 65 km / h the motorist could not stop the car within its visual range.

For all this, and to facilitate the recognition of the corridor and possible overtaking maneuvers to the vehicles with which the road shares, the night athlete must help to be visible in advance to the rest of the road users. For this, you can use clear clothes and reflective materials such as vests and items that can be placed on different parts of the body, such as ankles and wrists, and that will allow the motorist to realize that he shares the road with a person in motion. In addition, and to avoid accidents, trips and falls, and be seen much earlier, Philips lighting experts recommend resorting to the use of lighting devices suitable for sports, such as the high-quality LED front LPL29B1, an ergonomic device and adjustable 90 ° which allows to easily direct the light according to the needs of the corridor and its surroundings.

Similarly, Illumines experts recommend drivers to check frequently the status of the lighting system of their vehicles, more in winter when the days are shorter and are also more frequent meteorological phenomena (rain, snow, fog …), that reduce visibility on the road. Remember, too, that the use of Philips lamps like the XV + allows you to see on the road at a greater distance.

Tips to increase the visibility and safety of the night corridor:

Choose the right equipment: Starting with the shoes and finishing with the clothes. They must be adapted to the terrain through which you are going to travel, the expected climate and temperature. At this time of little or no light, it is more necessary than ever to choose light, fluorescent clothes with reflective tapes, and that the sole of the shoes and grip are appropriate to the terrain.

Reflective devices: It is highly recommended to use a reflective vest that further enhances the visibility of the corridor. It is also a good idea to use bracelets or anklets that make it easier to identify an athlete on the move.

Use a lighting front: In your night careers, you will become your best ally. Not only will it help you illuminate the ground you run on, but it will also contribute to the fundamental goal of making you more visible, and at a greater distance, to others. Choose a comfortable model, that facilitates its adjustment to the head, and with autonomy and quality of the beam of adequate light.

Action light, see and be seen

The “Action Light, see and be seen”, on the initiative of the city of Meerkat, the “General German Bicycle Club es” (ADFC) and the “Association of pedestrian and bicycle friendly cities, communities and districts in North Rhine-Westphalia” (AGFS) goes back, is supported by the police in the Rhine district of Seuss.

The aim is to make the students aware of road hazards. Already in the middle of January, the police accompanied an action at the comprehensive school, Battenberg Leg, for the fifth, sixth and seventh classes. About 175 students were informed about the lighting, condition, and safety of the bike and reflective clothing.

The police also announced to the interested children checks of mediated knowledge and let their words follow on Friday (01.02.). In the early morning hours, on the way to the Maria Montessori Comprehensive School, officials checked the proper bicycle lighting and general visibility of the students, for example by wearing reflective vests or clothing with reflective tapes.

Of about 80 cycling students, nearly 20 had no lights on the bike. The victims were once again reminded of the “action light” and made aware of the dangers of insufficient lighting. The vast majority of children had the prescribed lighting on the bike and had this switched on.

The majority of the “Light-less” students already attended higher grades. From the target group of the fifth, sixth and seventh classes were only two cyclists without the light on the way. Therefore, the action can be considered successful.

Free distribution of safety vests on the A6 motorway last summer

The association Attitude Prevention, created by insurers, distribute free safety vests for adults and children on highways areas of the A6 last summer.

When will these safety vest distributions take place?

7 out of 10 parents check that they have a safety vest with reflective tapes, safety equipment (spare wheel, anti-puncture kit …) and a warning triangle. On the other hand, they are only one third to possess a vest adapted to the size of their children.

In children, the wearing of the safety vest is still little known. Indeed, they are only 45% to know that it is necessary to put one out of the vehicle in case of accident or breakdown.

The association Attitude Prevention, therefore, takes advantage of departures on summer holidays to meet motorists. It will distribute free safety vests with reflective fabric to young and old.

These operations will take place on motorway areas of Burgundy: Bone Tally (A6 motorway Paris-Lyon sense) and Bone Mercerize (A6 motorway direction Lyon-Paris).

Barrenness goes through the Sch

At the Fingermark Schnabel every year one of the five Sch guilds takes over the host role, this time was the Irreverence Bernbach’s turn. Fool mother Evelyn army let the RNB train (Bachelorette Barrenness) drive through the Sch. As a strict platoon leader, she had everything under control and is waiting with her ten stewardesses, who accompanied the guests from station to station. The safety instruction was not missing.

Under some guest, chair was actually a safety vest with reflective tapes hidden in modern orange-yellow hooded. Some other guests, on the other hand, had a “mini-mini-oxygen-bottle” under their seat. In case of emergency, the other guests just had to jump off between the Encrustation in the hope to come on foot to Leading, Backache, Fingerling, and Dilettantish. Guaranteed was the stop in the “most beautiful place in the Black Forest” Bernbach.

Completely adapted to the new guidelines, the privacy policy has been taken into account. Starting with the names of the young pretty train attendants who are now numbered, up to the secrecy of the name at the neighbor. In an emergency you could, so train driver Evelyn, let write the bills on Friendless. Warned in the Schulz for joy, cheerfulness, and fun with the hint, with the health-positive side effects of lowering blood sugar and preventing varicose veins. Due to the “mess” (cake fight) of the jester club Dilettantish, there was a longer forced stay in the RNB Schulz. While the staff (male fool police) cleaned the train, train driver Evelyn had the saving idea to appease the guests – especially in the first class – with the known and deceased Broths.

The host Bernbach had as a host the Schnabel fully under control. Already at the welcome in the rhyming form of “on top of each other, mixed up, in front of each other, one behind the other” she promised an unforgettable evening, which the fool folk could enjoy in the jubilee year. Then it was called “The Best of Fasten 2019”. The Black Forest quintet provided the musical cream.

He moved without glare

The Łuków policemen determine the circumstances of the accident that occurred last night in Mizary. The 60-year-old has hit the Audi car. The man died as a result of injuries at the scene of the incident. The policemen determined that the walking path did not have any reflective materials.

Yesterday before 7:00 PM the officer of the Łuków command received a notification about a road incident that occurred in Mizary. The application showed that he was hit by an Audi car on the road. The policemen who arrived at the scene of the accident learned that he had suffered extensive bodily injury and died at the scene of the incident.

He moved without reflective clothing

The uniformed workers working on the accident site stated that the incident occurred on a stretch of road outside the built-up area, in a place where there was no street lighting anymore. Preliminary findings indicate that the aggrieved pedestrian, a 60-year-old from the commune of Stockist Malinowski, was on the road and had no reflective elements.

The officers determined that the 61-year-old resident of the Daywear municipality was driving sober. Now, policemen under the supervision of the Prosecutor will conduct an investigation to determine the exact course and circumstances of the tragic event.

Police officers are appealing for wearing reflectors

Many people still do not realize that the lack of reflective elements threatens their safety on the road. Cyclist or pedestrian moving around after dark, on an unlit road, causes a big threat.

He is dressed in dark clothing, without glare, and is seen by the driver of the vehicle from a distance of about 40 meters. However, a walking person wearing reflective tapes becomes visible even from a distance of 150 meters. These extra meters allow the driver to slow down and safely bypass the pedestrian. So let’s follow the rules, let’s protect our lives and health, just wear reflections!

The scouts from Hydrolyze care about the safety of the pedestrian

Some behaviors of road users, both drivers, and pedestrians, are sometimes dangerous and pose a road hazard. Incorrect decisions made by drivers or unintentional entry of a pedestrian into the road are the cause of many accidents. Nowadays, the new danger on the roads is the excessive use of mobile devices such as smart phones, which cause that society (and in particular young people) when moving, focuses less attention on the environment. Pedestrians are advised to wear reflective clothing or safety vests.

With the consent of the Mayor of Hydrolyze, Amateur Bobber, the Hydrolyze scouts run a social action aimed at improving safety at pedestrian crossings. In particular, they would like to take care of the safety of children and youth as part of their activities and to mark visibly on the streets within school buildings. On February 12, 2019. started activities consisting in placing horizontal information passwords in the passageways on the sidewalks and reflecting the barriers with reflective tape.

The end of their social activities involving the complete marking of 9 pedestrian crossings is planned by the end of February 2019. Because of school activities, the scouts devote themselves to the idea and the right cause in the afternoons.

How to survive the frosty weather behind the wheel?

Winter is in full swing and most of our territory covers snow and ice. If you want to arrive in a timely and safe way, you should take the following creations in your car to help you in winter difficulties.

Although it may seem self-evident, it often turns out in crisis situations that you are missing exactly what you need most. That’s why you should definitely not underestimate your travel preparation, especially if you’re going to the mountains. Practical aids and accessories can help you resolve the situation instantly, so you will save money and a lot of time spent waiting a few hours during a snow calamity for a towing service.

Mainly not to fall!

Snow chains are absolutely indispensable during the winter. In the case of snow calamity, which can occur very unexpectedly and quickly, you will not move from here. In addition, if you stay on the road, you will complicate the situation not only for other drivers but also for the work of road-drivers. There are also disposable plastic tapes that can temporarily increase traction.

Extra Tip:

Another option is to use rubber rescue bands that are easy to compile and do not take up much space in the trunk.

A good helper will be the starting cables. Help resolve problems with your discharged battery or other drivers in distress. Generally, it is worthwhile not to save on the length of the cables or on the wire diameter. The ideal aid is, of course, a travel starter station with sufficient capacity, with which you can also reliably start and do not need a second car.

The tow rope will help you when there is no other solution and snow chains or rescue belts are not enough.

If you fall in the snow, the shovel saves you from the deep snow or removes the obstacle to the car. There are also practical folding buckets or models with a pull-out handle. How else would you like to get snow from under the car or its surroundings? In many cases, no chains can help you without snow removal.

Good view

Because the vehicle needs to have a good look, the glass scraper is essentially obligatory in winter. There are many variants, for example in combination with a sleeve, if you do not have gloves. There is also a scraper attached to a brush that will make it much easier for you to work. Instead of a scraper, you can use a spray dryer in a spray that quickly removes frost and is simply applied. Foggy stop, which absorbs excess air humidity, prevents fogging and freezing of the interior of the windows, bacteria, mites, and molds in the upholstery, as well as the corrosion of interior body parts. Just hang it in the car interior.

Other necessities and gadgets

On the Czech roads, only one reflective vest is included in the mandatory equipment, the vest must have reflective tapes, although the need to leave the vehicle in an inappropriate place can occur even when the car is fully occupied.

Before the car gets warm after the start, it takes a while. If you do not have built-in seat heating, you can buy heated covers that just plug into the lighter socket. The classic carcass is also a USB car charger that can be used for every trip not only for long journeys. For example, it will save you from a discharged phone in an emergency.

They delivered vests to motorcyclists in order

Yesterday, on the Costal DE Asuncion, traffic police officers and officials of the National Traffic and Road Safety Agency, and the Ministry of Public Works donated vests to motorcyclists in order, the vests with reflective tapes, and distributed information on road safety education to visitors.

Alejandro Hernandez, director of campaigns and education in Security of the National Agency of Traffic and Road Safety, together with the Transparency Directorate of the Ministry of Public Works and Communications, took yesterday his awareness campaign to the Costal DE Asuncion.

“We provide informative brochures about the six risk factors that we consider essential for pedestrians and drivers to learn: to avoid the consumption of alcoholic beverages when driving, the use of hard hats and safety belts, respect for traffic signals, respect to speed limits and child restraint systems. Reflective vests were provided for motorcyclists who comply with traffic and safety laws, “he said.

This campaign began in December and will continue until March 20. Next week will move to Pitapat, and then, to other major resorts.

“The statistics are what motivate us to do this type of campaign in summer since in 2017 there were 1,198 deaths due to traffic accidents. 54% of these deaths were motorcyclists, and we also speak of more than 64,000 wounded. The Summer Safe campaign has two edges: one is the control of documentation that must be carried by drivers and controls en route, and the other is that of awareness with the appropriate road behavior tips, “he said.

Meanwhile, Carolina Centurion, director of Transparency and Citizen Participation of MOPC, said that they are also working with people to inform and participate in the campaign, in addition to making them aware of the importance of Law N ° 5282/14 of Access to public information.

The campaign continued all afternoon on a busy Costal, which presented several activities.

Delmonico Pawed Robbie obtained vests

According to the “Neighborhood closer to us” program, police guardians of the regions should be on the proverbial “hand reach”. Therefore, going out to the residents opposite, the district younger aspirant Pawed Robbie, thanks to the support of the Postwar Malinowski, gained citizens’ reflective vests with reflective fabric.

Powhatan Mouse is a place where there is no lack of lovers of evening walks and cyclists. There are still more enthusiasts. Therefore, in the interest of increasing road safety, especially those of the least protected road users, district youth Asp. Pawed Robbie decided to take the matter into his own hands.

Uniforms asked Stare Malinowski for financial support of his initiative, which concerned the purchase of reflective vests to improve the safety of the city’s residents. His idea turned out to be very right.

Just a few days ago, at the hands of the head of the Mystery policemen, Rostand Malinowski Pious Kołodziejczyk handed over the vests for which Robbie had applied for the district. Soon, they will go to unprotected road users during preventive actions on the road. Because as argued by the asp. Trihedron … “Visible = Safe!”
