Protect your little ones with reflective clothing

In winter, children are particularly badly visible to drivers. The saying ‘a lot helps a lot’ applies completely in this case – so protect your little ones with reflective clothing:

Children on the way to school have to be easily visible to drivers in autumn and winter, because they are small and drivers are therefore less likely to recognize them. Bright clothes in bright colors are therefore important. Jacket, pants or skirt and helmet should also be richly equipped with reflectors. Generous reflections are provided on the satchel for striking rays. Standards and the GS mark are an indication of good quality. This is indicated by the municipal accident insurance company Bavaria and the Bavarian State Disaster Fund.

 

Light cones move from the bottom to the top

The light cone of a moving car “travels” from bottom to top. For this reason, reflectors in the lower part of the body are particularly important, for example in the form of Velcro straps for calves or ankles. A reflective jacket or coat should be reflectors on the sides, front and rear. “The saying ‘a lot helps a lot’ is true here,” says Elmer Leader, Managing Director of KUVB and Bayer. The more reflectors a child carries, the more likely it is for the driver and can react appropriately. ”

 

The quality makes the difference

Satchel wear reflectors as standard, but they differ in size and quality. Parents should pay attention to large reflective surfaces, as well as spread and reflection. They indicate how strongly and from which angle incident beams are thrown back. Since such details are difficult to test in the shop, it is worthwhile to read tests like the Sifting Warn test on the properties of reflectors. Indicators for quality are also the seal for certified safety (GS test mark) and the German industry standard (DIN) 58124. It stipulates that at least ten percent of the back and sides of a school rucksack must be made of retro reflective material. Thirdly, the EU standard EN 13356 regulates the light properties of reflectors. These data are usually found in the satchel itself or on a leaflet.

 

No parent taxis to school

Worried parents should not make a mistake: drive their children to school. Because driving is not always the safest option, and it is important that children get exercise and fresh air. In addition, they train their perceptions and responses on every route the pupils themselves cover.

Children in safety vest give motorists memoranda

Dear car driver, at the point where you stop at 30 km / h just in front of me, when I suddenly run onto the road, you have not braked at 50 km / h yet and you are driving around – sure. Handbook with this text handed over 3500 primary schoolchildren and nursery children in safety vest to the drivers of the so linger road traffic on Friday morning.

 

A total of 20 primary schools and 37 day-care centers participated in the “See me?” Between 7.45 and 8.15 they pointed out the situation of children on the road. The posters “Down from the Gas” were also executed.

 

Teachers, parents and police officers supported the action

The 240 children of the elementary school were also up early on Friday. At the crossroads, they had positioned themselves together with teachers, parents and police officers. In the red phases at the traffic lights, they talked to the drivers, handed over their notes – and experienced a lot of understanding. “The drivers were all very nice and thanked the note and the information,” said Anita (9) from class 4a. She herself lives and in the morning she has two crossroads on the way to the school. “But I always take good care,” emphasized the fourth-grader.

 

The school has been taking part in the action at the beginning of the dark season for years. “The older people already know it and are therefore well informed,” Ann, speaker, emphasized. But all children were very committed and disciplined. “We are also very pleased that many parents are supporting the campaign again,” said Headmaster Katharina Hoffmann. The primary schoolchildren were, of course, equipped with bright warning reflective vest from the ADAC, which the school distributed to the first years each year.

 

Katrina, police transport officer, accompanied the action in the city center. “It is good that we are doing here in Solingen, unlike in other cities, the action concentrated in one morning. This is how no driver can get on the road to work on the subject. ”

Basically, the respondents were very understanding. “When children are involved, the reactions are usually always positive,” says Gyrostat from experience. Ernst, who had been traveling with his transporter early on Friday, also expressed his thanks for the handout. “I think the action is great. But I am sensitized anyway, because in my family all the educators are. ”

 

“Light clothing is the most important thing to look at children in the dark,” explained Katrina, and regretted that reflectors are still partly found on children’s reflective jackets, but mostly not on clothing for adults. In other cases, adults in road traffic are often a bad example for the children. “But after actions like this, the children can then explain to their parents how they have to behave properly in road traffic.”

Cyclist without safety vest while driving is dangerous

“We do not want to take the driver’s license at 60”, assured Anoka Weed, traffic safety adviser of the police inspectorate Virden / Sterols in safety vest, right from the start. Because on the “flat country” was only a limited supply of buses and trains. “Old rabbits – safe on the road” was their theme in the police commissariat at Ache, and numerous seniors watched closely their talk.

 

Regarding the different aspects addressed by Weed, which ranged from “cycling” to “accident runoff”, there were also frequent visitors. Most of them then went home a lot more clever and possibly even more cautiously.

 

In cycling, many people were annoyed by the “often dangerous fast e-bikes and pedicels”. Weed informed that people with electric bicycles who can drive more than 25 kilometers per hour cannot use the cycle track.

Even if there are road dividers at traffic circles, cyclists would normally have to pay attention to the driveway of the drivers. Signs pointed out. Cyclists need to wear a reflective jacket and then will be allowed to drive a one-way street in the “wrong direction”.

 

Drivers are only allowed to step speed, just four to seven kilometers per hour. “But pedestrians must not block the entire width of the road, as I have observed several times in Ache,” noted the local contact Kanji Braymer. And how do you behave as a car driver when a bus with a switched warning light flashes to a stop? “As long as he is not standing, he must not be overtaken. Then only with a speed step”, Weed explained the audience.

 

Anyone who uses his cell phone during the car trip risks a fine of 60 Euros – and his life, but also the uninvolved. “Making calls or entering messages in traffic is so dangerous,” warned the security adviser in the police investigation team. Short-term carelessness can also be fatal. A car with a speed of 50 seconds in two seconds just under 30 meters back.

 

And how should a driver behave when, for example, he has damaged a strange car in a parking lot? “You have to wait until the injured person comes,” said Anoka Weed. Accident is a crime. “Half of these offenses will be clarified, by the way.”

 

Finally, she asked the visitors in reflective vest, with which handicaps the elderly would have to reckon. The seeing and hearing are usually lost, but also the ability to react and the mobility, they said. “I regularly go to investigations where this is being tested,” a man betrayed. “In the case of a bad result, I would give my driver’s license.” A woman advised to do sports. Weed encouraged driving training, for example at a driving school.

Bad reflective vests: Are you fine for non-compliant equipment

Up to 90 percent of reflective vest for drivers sold in our market do not meet European standards. They indicate, for example, how much have reflective elements to reflect light vests and what dimensions such elements must have at the least. While motorists can be fined up to 2,000 crowns, but more importantly, for problems on the road you are on a vest much less visible.

 

According to Transport Minister Dan but it is not necessary to change the current vests because the new standard as it applies to newly manufactured products. Change would you have only those drivers who find no vest patch or mention of certification.

 

If you are in a car approved vest with the certificate, so the driver can be reassured. It is more important to take good care at a possible purchase of new vests, which alters the need for a lost or damaged. Some technical inspection station but when safety vest in the car is according to the latest standards, drivers cannot be technical.

 

At first glance, apart from the two jackets not know, but analyzes that he kept one of the distributors undertake showed big differences. It has mostly uncertified surface reflective elements smaller than standard specifies a particular light reflects at least.

 

“The biggest impact it has on the end consumer, the motorist is not so visible,” he consecrated one of the distributors of Michael. Distributor estimates that vests that do not meet current standards, is up 90 percent. Vista, which has not undergone compulsory certification in the laboratory, is cheaper by up to 40%.

 

The problem is that when entering a product on the market, has reportedly become an opportunity to intervene. Manufacturer sends itself reflective jackets batch testing and if it passes, will receive the certification, which is then sold vests. According ÚAMK assistance services is up to him whether the whole series produced fairly, or whether some vests cons.

A safety vest as a ticket to concerts

 

What if you could go to a Coldplay concert without paying anything? Two journalists from vice magazine did. Zoo, concerts and cinema, happens everywhere: a safety vest.

 

Winning panoply

They made a journey. David and his friend Sean, both Australian journalists for vice magazine, had an idea of a crazy and unpublished report. Using a fluorescent safety vest, they had the goal of returning to any private event for a day.

 

“When you see a guy with a fluorescent yellow vest straddling a fence or going straight ahead of a bouncer, you assume he’s there to fix something. That’s why a fluorescent vest will help you all your life. ”

 

Using false walkie-talkies and their panoply then complete, they began by getting into a cinema, until the concert of Coldplay.

 

Wearing our fluorescent reflective jackets, Sean and I walked past the guy at the entrance counter and walked back into the first room on our way.

 

This was a crazy challenge brilliantly performed by the two compasses, an experience dreamed by all music lovers. After a visit to the zoo, David and Sean encrusted at the Coldplay concert and mingled in safety.

 

To be totally honest with you, getting into the stadium has not been easy. We had to go to several different entrances and come back several times, but we were relatively quiet compared to the stakes. To our surprise, everything went pretty well. In the end, we managed to get back. (…) I’ve never been a big fan of Coldplay, actually. Except that on that day, when charging the group of Chris Martin for free with a vulgar waistcoat, everything changed.

 

A day full of adventure that ends in beauty, all thanks to a crazy theory: that of breaking all prohibited in this case, thanks to a safety reflective vest.

Primary school received safety vest gift

Still have many accidents in Germany, because there are too many children on the road. Especially in autumn and winter increases the risk of accidents because the small road users are seen often too late because of morning darkness. Therefore get all this year’s first graders in Germany a luminous safety vest gift. Nationwide 770,000 safety vests are issued to more than 16,700 schools.

 

Therefore Great excitement prevailed on Tuesday morning with the children of the State Primary School Naitschau, Appeared as a sudden visit to the classrooms of 1st class. The ADAC traffic safety officers Hermann Opitz and KOBB had come to talk to the children about road safety and to hand over the pretty yellow vests.

 

The children knew well informed about how important it is to be well seen in the dark season. Finally, the two traffic educator of Greizer Polizei in spektion stayed several times on site to go off to school with the children and to familiarize them with the dangers. Also in the parent-teacher conferences talked about this important subject.

 

The small Lara said that she always good care of the cars as they go by foot to school: “I always look first to the left and then to the right, because the cars are pretty fast approached”. Other children have it as easier as they get on the school bus or are driven by parents to school. Nevertheless, the school, between right on the busy streetGreiz and Zeulenrodalies, is a danger of gravity. Not every driver takes time despite the traffic signs foot off the pedal.

 

Hermann Opitz could see that all the schools of the district GreizWho submitted their order with ADAC for the first year, have now received their safety reflective vests. However, whether all schools have ordered it could not confirm. Here those responsible are reminded of their duty. In Naitschau anyway had parents and Head Girl Anett Heyer ensured that they were ordered vest.

 

The Steppkes made it yesterday anyway a lot of fun, to present the safe outfit. Good thing is that the vest also fit on the thick jackets, and her hood also still provides good protection against rain and snow. The ADAC traffic safety officer Hermann Opitz realized with some follow-ups, which is no longer any child comes after some time with the vest to school. Here the parents are held accountable. And since children told to tell the truth of the tots that the reflective jacket had disappeared in the trunk, because Papa had said that we for holidays Austria would need. That this does not, however, within the meaning of the sponsors of the road safety campaign, all should be clear. The Naitschauer wore yesterday anyway their entire luminous vest on the way home proud home.
