Yellow vests in Poland?

“In a week, some employees of the Lublin Voivodship Office will wear a yellow safety vest with the inscription” Decent work, quite alms “. And they will perform their official duties in them, gives the Wednesday “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna”.

 

Professionals are leaving the administration for private companies that offer them much better remuneration.

 

We read in the journal. A good situation on the labor market increases the number of vacancies in government institutions, today there are over half a thousand.

 

“You do not talk about it loudly, but in many offices, some departments no longer function, because people are free. During the recruitment, the requirements are reduced, but this also does not help,” says the head of NSZZ “Solidarność” in the Lodz Voivodship Office Robert Barabasz.

 

Some of the officials promise to protest in the footsteps of teachers and policemen, they plan to use sick leave en masse, but earlier they will try to fight for increases by wearing yellow vests with reflective tapes for clothing.

 

In this way, we want to pay attention to how little we earn. If this does not bring results, we will consider other forms of protest.

 

According to the daily, “the government, for fear of criticism, does not want to increase salaries for officials” the exception is people on managerial positions in the Information Systems Center for Health Care. Hike plans are also for the employees of the IT Center of the Ministry of Finance.

The steps you must follow when you have a breakdown on the road

Both in the city and on the road, in case of an emergency, connect the emergency signaling to notify other users.

Whenever you can, slow down and head towards the shoulder or to a side away from the main road, where the car and its occupants are protected.

When you have a breakdown on the road, try to signal your vehicle well so that other drivers know your situation.

The average age of the passenger car fleet in Spain is now 12 years old and according to data from the General Directorate of Traffic, about 65% of the vehicles that circulate in Spain are more than ten years old. With these data, it is not strange that road failures increase. In 2016, mechanical problems increased by more than 16%, as confirmed by the RACE Fault Barometer. Breakdowns related to batteries or tires and traffic accidents were the most frequent problems.

Older cars or those that are poorly maintained are more likely to suffer a breakdown or accident, so be prepared to know how to act. Both in town and on the road, in case of any problem or emergency, emergency signaling must be connected to notify other users.

On the road, we must act with greater care due to the higher speed at which the vehicles circulate. Although it is an unforeseen and complicated situation, it is important to remain calm to act quickly and accurately without looking away from what is happening around you. Whenever you can, slow down and head towards the shoulder or to a side away from the main road, where the car and its occupants are protected.

Remember that, if you are forced to stop the car in a place that interferes with the movement of other vehicles, it is mandatory that you use emergency triangles. Do not forget that both the driver and passengers must put on the reflective clothing with reflective tape for clothing before leaving the vehicle. Failure to comply with these regulations and/or not use the triangles carries a fine of 200 Euros.

Once the presence of the vehicle is well marked and the occupants are not in danger, you can call the assistance service through your insurance company to come to help you or through any company specializing in roadside assistance. It is important that you stay away from the road to avoid abuses and that at no time you remove the reflective vest.

Motorcyclists drove through Gdansk at night

More than 1,000 motorcyclists took part in the third edition of the campaign under the slogan “To be an example of Night at Motor Center”. On Friday evening, lovers of riding on two wheels formed a column that ran a 22-kilometer loop across the streets of Gdansk. Each motorcyclist wore a reflective vest to promote the need to be visible from the road.

Most accidents involving motorcyclists are caused by the fact that the drivers simply did not notice them on the road. The problem intensifies during autumn and winter, when the darkness falls already in the afternoon. Such conclusions come from police statistics on accidents in which two wheelers were injured.

Many tragedies could be avoided if drivers not only showed greater caution, but also motorcyclists more often supplied with clothing equipped with reflective tape for clothing. It is worth mentioning that the outfit in dark colors only reflects about 5 percent. The light that is emitted by the car headlights.

Therefore, Motor Centrum Gdansk, which is located at ulna. Make Slack 4/8, decided to organize preventive action under the slogan “Be an example at night”, the aim of which is to spread the use of reflective elements. Its most spectacular element is the parade of motorcyclists who, under police escort, travel across Gdansk dressed in reflective vests.

– Both the driver of the motorcycle and the passenger, as unprotected road users, due to road accidents, most often suffer serious injury or death. At the moment, among the Tri-City motorcyclists, the use of reflective materials is still not very popular. Motor Centrum together with the rescue group to Motopozytywni.Pl wants to change this trend. We believe that our preventive actions can measurably influence the number of accidents involving motorcyclists – explains Agni ski from Motor Centrum.
