What fine can you get if you do not wear the vest in the car?

It is advisable to take a scraper to remove ice, a flashlight, and a bottle of water or a first aid kit. In addition to being very useful in case of accident or any other unforeseen, carry certain accessories in our car is mandatory. So much so, that if we do not carry the approved triangles or the reflective vest can lead to a fine of 200 Euros.

 

The triangles will serve to signal to the other vehicles that ours is broken and, therefore, must be careful and slow down. They are placed at a distance of 50 meters, both in front of and behind the car. In the case of roadways with more than two lanes per direction or one way, only it will be necessary to put it in the back.

 

The reflective safety vest, meanwhile, is mandatory to get out of the vehicle in case of emergency stop. In addition, it is advisable to take more than one, in case the stop occurs when we travel with more people. Another reason why we can take home a fine of 200 Euros is not to carry in the vehicle any system that allows us to continue the march in the event of a puncture, such as a spare wheel or an anti-puncture kit.

 

There are other accessories that, although it is not mandatory to take them in the car, they can be very useful in case of emergency. This is the case of spare lamp kits, a scraper to remove ice on Monday in winter, gloves to withstand the cold in the case of having to change a wheel or put the chains, a blanket in case we get stuck in the snow, a rag, a bottle of water, an anti-fog spray and caloric foods. In winter, we should not forget to carry strings by hand.

 

In addition, if we travel, whatever the season in which we do it, it is advisable to bring a small safety kit, a fire extinguisher, boot clips, American tape and some tools to change a wheel in case of a puncture. Finally, never forget to bring a mobile phone charger, all the documentation, and a handy assistance number.

 

 

Emergency personnel dressed safety vest in an accident simulation

The police in safety vest of Different safety and emergency forces of Navarra participated this Thursday in a simulation of an accident and subsequent fire in the tunnel of Leiden of the A-21 Autodial Perrine. The event, which has been coordinated by the Civil Protection Service of the Government of Navarra, aims to verify the effectiveness of the implementation of the Emergency Plan for Tunnels (PETNA) of the Road Network of Navarra.

 

In addition to the troops mentioned above, in today’s practice, the 18 students is being developed at the School of Safety and Emergencies of Navarra between October 9 and on November 28. The activity is carried out in the scenario of the so-called singular infrastructures and is included in the module ‘Direction, command and control of emergencies’ of the program of the course.

 

The simulation of this Friday is included within the strategy of verification of the Emergency Plan for road safety. Directive 2004/54 / EC establish that tunnels of more than 500 meters in length must have emergency response plans. Although Navarra does not have a similar regional norm, the Government of Navarre has a plan that includes the minimum-security requirements established in that Directive.

 

In addition to the simulation that took place, the Department of the Presidency, Public Function, Interior and Justice developed last Tuesday, November 14, a technical day of emergencies and security to present to the operative groups the draft of the Emergency Plan in Tunnels of the road network of Navarra.

 

Emergencies that may arise within a tunnel’s facilities are cataloged on a scale of 0 to 3, from least to greatest severity. Among the incidents of level 0, conditions that occur in the normal use of road infrastructure are classified, such as water leaks, meteorological incidents or obstacles in the siding. Level 1 encompasses the conditions that only require police assistance, for example, incidents that require traffic regulation. Within the level two emergencies, in addition to police assistance, other means of intervention in emergencies (health care, rescue, rescue, logistical support, etc.) participate. Finally, in an emergency of level 3, a more serious range, exceptional means intervene.

 

The risk involved in traffic through a tunnel is related to both the length and the number of vehicles that circulate through it. Following this aspect, in Navarra, the steps are those that have an appreciable emergency risk.

 

There are a series of guidelines that should be followed at the time of suffering or finding an accident inside a tunnel. As a first step, you have to turn on the emergency lights and stop the engine. Before leaving the vehicle, it is necessary to put on the reflective vest and after that go to request help, using the SOS poles or by calling 112.

 

 

What to do if your car leaves you lying

Although it may seem obvious what we have to do, there are really certain protocols that will help us a lot. It has happened to all of us. In the place and at the most inopportune moment, the car leaves us stranded. Many times, we did not see it coming without any reflective elements, other times it could have been prevented.

 

Although it may seem obvious what we have to do in these cases, there are really certain protocols that will help us a lot. If your car has not left you lying in a long time, it does not hurt for you to prevent yourself with these tips to avoid setbacks.

 

  1. Intermittent

The first thing you should do when detecting any fault, is to put intermittent. It is not the same as grabbing you in a small street, that in a main avenue, and even on the road. The turn signals are the first signal that warns other motorists that you are stopped or something is happening. Especially if you are in main avenues, it is essential to warn and alert to avoid accidents.

 

  1. Signaling

Ideally, all vehicles have their safety equipment in the trunk: the emergency triangles and the reflective vest. After the intermittent, stay in your vehicle until you consider it safe to get off to put the signs. Remember that, in order to fulfill their function, you need to put the triangles at a distance of 50 meters in front and 50 meters behind your car.

 

  1. Move your car to a safe area

You already warned that you are arrested. However, look for a safe place to go. If your car is stopped, consider asking for help so they can push it in neutral speed. You do not know how long it will take you to restart, so make sure you try as far as possible to get around.

 

  1. Review and make the relevant calls

Maybe someone can read certain engine signals. For example, if the lights are OK, but the engine does not run, the problem could be in the engine. Alternatively, on the contrary, if the lights are low or do not turn on, it could be the battery. Nevertheless, the advisable thing is that you have the contact of a trusted mechanic or your insurer always at hand. Even if you feel tempted to move, know what it is, solve it quickly, it is better not to assume things, and wants to resolve them your way.

Although the battery may seem simple, doing it wrong can cause damage to other parts of the vehicle.

 

  1. Relax and pay attention

Most of the time, the experience can leave us a bit upset. However, things can get worse if you are not calm and focused. From leaving the keys inside, until deciding not to wait so long and prefer that anyone look, both decisions are hasty and risky. Wear a safety vest on the roadside and wait the police to deal with the accidents.

 

  1. Schedule your next revision.

Before anything else happens, and without thinking too much, schedule your next revisions to avoid surprises as much as possible.

In the ruling, Judge Marcela accepted the legal action presented by the plaintiff and ordered the company to pay 100 million pesos. The affected one recount in the legal action that a vehicle parked unexpectedly opened its door to the sector of the street and hit it. When falling, another vehicle in circulation overwhelmed him, since he did not notice his presence because he was not wearing a reflective vest, which the company never gave him.

For that reason, the ruling concluded, “in effect, it is an obligation of means, since it consists in adopting reasonable measures of prevention, without being able to demand an effective and absolute avoidance of occupational accidents. Since the expression effectively employs Article 184 of the Labor Code, refers to the conditions that the employer must maintain for the worker. It must be designed to achieve a real and accurate protection of the life and health of the worker in the performance of their work, that are useful and apt for such effects, all of which is not appreciated by the defendant, according to the evidence rendered and analyzed as a whole, in the light of sound criticism.” About the safety equipment, the company needs to equip it for every worker for their safe.

New rules with reflective vest to avoid the robberies

They will make a caravan on the Posadas waterfront, in rejection of a new national regulation that requires the wearing of helmets that have the vehicle and passenger’s license number engraved. They will even have to wear a reflective vest that also indicates the domain.

 

The government modified by decree the regulation of the national transit law with the aim of facing the “motorcycle,” the use of motorcycles to commit violent robberies. Decree 171/2017 establishes “the domain identification of the motor vehicle adhered in letters and reflective element numbers, without matching the background color of the helmet” and specifies that this identification must be placed on both sides of the helmet.

 

The motorcycle groups of Posadas expressed their rejection of this new norm that would come into force in June and called a protest caravan on the waterfront “Monsignor Jorge Kemmerer” this Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. The meeting point will be in front of the monument to Andrés.

 

In a dialogue with Misiones Curator, Leandro Borges, organizer of the mobilization, said that they do not agree with this measure, considering it a way of “removing the freedom” of motorcyclists. “We want to walk without a patent, this measure is also contradicted by the homologation of helmets, which states that we do not carry a sticker,” he said.

 

Against motorcycles

Among the measures that will begin to apply throughout the country for the control of more than 7 million motorcycles, is the obligation to have identification of the patent in both the driver’s and passenger’s helmets and in a reflective yellow vest, in case of circulate two people.

 

These requirements will be accompanied by coordination with the service stations, which will not be able to refuel those who do not comply with the regulations. The new regulations are based on the diagnosis that indicates that most of the illegal acts perpetrated by motorcyclists are carried out when more than one person is transferred.

 

The breach of the rules will be considered a serious fault and will involve the immediate hijacking of the motorcycle. In addition, if the owner does not remove the seized motorcycle within 60 days after its retention, it will be decontaminated and compacted.

The useful things to bring in the car

If you go on a road trip, do you know exactly the elements that, as a rule of Traffic, you must carry in your car to drive? In addition to this mandatory safety equipment, we also recommend other accessories that may be very useful for your safety.

 

The cars have to carry some elements that are obligatory and that always have to be in the vehicle in case we should need them at some time. In addition, it is advisable to carry other accessories that in case of emergency can get you out of trouble.

 

Mandatory equipment

Two portable approved hazard-signaling devices (so-called, by their shape, triangles).

A high visibility reflective vest also approved. It is advisable that the vest is inside the passenger compartment (not in the trunk), so you can wear it before getting off the car.

The wheel can be of normal size, auxiliary (cookie wheels), or be replaced by an safety kit. Tools needed to change the wheel. Remember that it is compulsory, to travel in certain places, to carry a set of chains (whether metallic or textile) or winter tires. If the vehicle is public transport, mixed or merchandise, or a maximum authorized mass of more than 3,500 kg, you must carry an extinguisher.

 

Moreover, is the car insurance, glasses and spare lights?

Since the last reform of the Traffic Law came into effect, it is no longer necessary to carry additional glasses in the car, or to include the car insurance receipt between the documentation papers. The traffic agents can consult the informative file of insured vehicles (FIVA), to check if the vehicle has insurance in order. However, although it is not mandatory, our advice is that you include the proof of insurance payment with the rest of the vehicle’s documentation and some spare glasses. It costs nothing and can avoid problems if you forget your glasses or, for whatever reason, the existence of the insurance did not appear or it was possible to connect to this computerized file at the time to obtain the information.

 

As for the replacement lamp set, it is not mandatory either, just like the high visibility vest. There are more and more cars with Xenon or LED lights (replacement can only be done in a professional workshop) and, with respect to “normal” bulbs, it is becoming more and more complicated to disassemble them.

What to do after an accident

After traffic accident or a simple hit on the road many drivers are not clear on how to act. The road is dangerous so you need to be care when you meet an accident and remember to wear a high visibility vest when you go off the car.

 

In a car accident with another vehicle, even if it is a blow without serious consequences, you have to carry out certain procedures in order to receive the corresponding compensation from the car insurance company. However, at those times, even filling a friendly part can be complex. To guide you in these steps, we tell you everything you should do if you suffer an accident on the road and there is another vehicle involved.

 

What to do after an accident

It indicates the place of the accident. Before starting, the negotiations remember to sign the vehicle with the prescribed triangles and put on the reflective vest so that the rest of the drivers can see you. It is important to fill out the forms in a safe area, without risks for those affected.

 

Collect evidence. After checking that there are no injuries and that traffic is not being obstructed, it is advisable to collect data such as the license plate, the make, the model and the color of the opposite vehicle, whether or not we sign a friendly accident report. In addition, it is convenient to take pictures of the vehicle’s damage or collision point to help our car insurance company know what happened.

 

Notify the authorities if there is no agreement. If discrepancies occur between the drivers involved and a common version not reached, it is best to contact a police in safety vest and a municipal agent who will prepare a report.

 

Police fine motorcyclist for not wearing reflective vest

Do motorcyclists have to wear a reflective vest?

That is the question that Mafias Bah monde, 23 years old, has after Friday when he went out for a ride in Temuco on his motorcycle and fined by border police for not wearing a reflective vest.

 

“I was on my way to Librans when I ran into a couple of border police who performed a routine check, they asked me for the papers and since I had everything up to date and in order, I remained calm,” the young man explained to LUN.

He added that “we were finishing when they look at each other and ask each other: ‘What do we do with the reflective safety vest? Did we pass the infraction or not? The border police were not clear what to do.”

 

Bah monde indicated that at the crossroads, one of the border police decided to take the radio and ask, obtaining as a response a ‘yes’, so he must appear at the local police court next January 12. Despite the clarification, the doubts regarding this issue is due to the fact that article 75 of the modified decree 164 of the Ministry of Transport does not specify which vehicles the vest must have.

 

It should be remember that the only obligations of motorcyclists’ clothing are those that appear in Decrees 231 and 234 of the Traffic Law, which are relate to the biker’s clothing and the use of reflective helmet.

The ‘semaphore man’ of Quito has spent 20 years regulating the traffic of the N-232 to the hours of entry and exit of the school. Today he receives a tribute.

 

The children greet José Maria Garcia ‘Machala’ while he, without taking his eyes off the road, checks that the vehicles have stopped when they reach the zebra crossing located next to the entrance to the school Fernando, which he has been attending five times a day for the past 20 years. In all this time, he has only missed his appointment in “very few occasions.” “If someday I do not come, people miss me,” he said. Dressed in a reflective vest, and with the help of a stop sign, warns drivers to stop when they travel on the N-232 national road to allow children to cross. “I am delighted and I am doing it because I love my people very much, and I will be there as long as I can,” he explained, while continuing to monitor the traffic.

 

To recognize their selfless work, the City Council and the association of mothers and fathers of the school have organized this afternoon a tribute at the house of culture. Most of them are wearing the high visibility vest. It will be an emotional act, which will coincide with his 73th birthday, in which he will be give details of the children, an audiovisual project will be screen, and there will be “some surprise.” Next, you will also discover the plaque that has been place in the place that bears his name, and which was decide after a popular consultation in which there was a great deal of the neighbors. The mayor, Morales, stressed, “If someone deserves this recognition, it is Machala.” Not only in Fifth, know his work. Many people who travel through the crossing has met once with the ‘traffic light man’: “It is already a typical image of Quito.”

 

José Maria was a municipal worker and decided to continue providing this retired service: “Many cars and heavy trucks pass through this national highway,” which is a way to increase the safety of pedestrians, said the local official.

 

Of the same opinion they were shown yesterday afternoon at the doors of the school Maria Pillar and Susana, grandmother and mother of students, who acknowledged and appreciated their task: “We are much calmer knowing that he is here stopping the cars. The children pay much attention to him; he is a very dear person in the locality and with wearing a yellow vest.” It is usual to see him minutes before school entry and exit times, but he also collaborates to regulate traffic if there is any exit from the students.
