Soon the winter will come

By November 1st, we should have summer tires replaced for the winter. The winter tire proves its quality when it is seven degrees above zero and less. It remains softer than the summer and has a shorter braking distance. That’s why riding is safer.

“Year-round tires are also demanding, but the market is not so wide, but it’s definitely not recommended to people who drive often and into higher areas. The features of year-round tires are definitely not as good as winter tires, “says new Skoda dealer Jacobi Jewel.

Check battery before winter

Older cars are in danger of coming in the cold in the morning and we are not starting anymore. That’s why it’s good to have a battery charge in the workshop. If it’s at the edge of life, it’s good to buy a new battery. Otherwise, it may indeed happen that we will suddenly stay in place.

Do not forget to change the summer mix in the washers for the winter. Drivers are also at the forefront of car owners’ interest.

“By getting the salt in the winter, the car chassis suffers. There are companies that offer protection against winter wax. There is also a company that cares not only for the chassis, but also treats the varnish of the entire vehicle and prepares it for the winter. “says Jacobi Jewel.

The expiration of the first-aid kit does not have to worry

From October 1, 2018, we do not have to worry so much about the life of the car kit. We do not have to buy a new one every year. “And there may not be a three-eyed scarf or drape. Keep your old first aid kit in your car. If there is a serious accident, you will not be able to get the basic car kit. “says expert Jacobi Jewel.

We do not even have to carry spare light bulbs with us. New technologies are on the market, and bulbs cannot be replaced by people. There is a bad approach or exchange is so complicated that only experts can do it. It is not advisable to interfere with the new car. Gone is the time when cars were repaired on the sidewalk.

A reflective vest is just one

In the Czech Republic, one reflective vest with reflective tape in one car is enough. But for example, in Germany, the car needs to be as thick as the car in the car. The vest which made of reflective fabric should be at hand, preferably in the passenger compartment. Manufacturers are already trapped. They even put on the vests under the driver’s seat in new cars.

What is good to have in the car in the winter

Do not forget the warning triangle, starter cars are a good helper starter cables, snow brush, ice scraper, winter jacket, and blanket.

“People have recently been calling for a safety belt cutter. When an accident occurs, the strip can simply be removed, “concludes Jacobi Jewel.

Yellow vests: a sparse growl, conducive to recovery

Calls to protest against rising fuel are abounding. And some want to erect the yellow safety vest in the symbol.

Protesters of all occasions had already made it a visible asset, during parades in the streets, during factory blockades, prison. This time, the yellow vest could, like the red cap, take a more symbolic, political value. The movement of anger resulting from the rise in fuel prices has chosen to federate behind the chasuble.

The initiators of several calls for a major event on November 17 are determined to make this safety vest which made of reflective fabric is a sign of rallying between motorists disappointed by the government’s desire to introduce a new increase in taxes on January 1, on gasoline and diesel.

“A little color code to show that you agree”

Difficult to determine the origin of the evocation of this accessory as a symbol of popular grumbling. In a video broadcast on 23 or 24 October and since become viral, a man calls for blocking “for diesel, for taxes for everything” and is addressed to “those who agree to the movement”: ” We all have a yellow jacket in the car, leave it prominently on the dashboard all week, until 17 “. This is for him a “little color code to show that you agree with us, with the movement.”

The following days, other Internet users follow suit, making a similar call to put this safety vest at the front of his vehicle. All have been in focus the big event, scheduled in two weeks.

If dozens of Internet users have shared photos of similar initiatives on social networks, it is difficult to quantify the resonance of this call, which is mingled with the much larger one of a rally on November 17th. Some authors of these tweets claim to make “no political choice”. Others are undeniably politicized, even inset.

There are messages of support for the initiative published by a secretary of the National Assembly in the Doubs, or his counterpart in the 95.

This popular discontent seems conducive to political recovery. An instrumentalization is denounced at the end of October by Benjamin, the spokesman of the government. In his viewfinder: The National Rally and Standing France. Both have effectively supported the multitude of blocking calls. “We will join the challenge that rises,” hammered on October 26 Marine Le Pen.

Recoveries on the right and on the left

On RTL this Monday morning, Nicolas called, in particular, to “put his yellow vest on the windshield” and proposes that, the 17, motorists honk “on all crossroads in France for the Elyse hears anger legitimate French “. A member of his party, Franck Buhler, author of a video called to protest, viewed millions of times, even if it is not the initiative of the movement-helped to popularize it, reminds Release.

But these two parties on the far right are not the only ones to support this discontent. The unassuming deputy François Ruffin also took the issue, wishing to “understand” the essence of the movement, rather than to determine if “facts” were at the origin. A problem shared by Jean-Luc during a meeting in Lille. Another parliamentarian, Jean Lassalle, broadcast a call to the event on Twitter, wearing a video of one of these vests.

Some would like to see in this movement, beyond the color code, similarities with that of the “Bonnets Rouges”. But at the moment, it seems difficult to perceive in this frameless absence of spokespersons, of structure and of union support, the weight reached by that of the Bretons, left five years ago in the war against the porticoes of environmental taxes.

400 events recorded

In fact, while the red hats were largely worn by the mayor Christian, no emblematic personality really emerges from the movement that federates the road users and has largely formed from local initiatives. The author of a protest video sent to the government and seen more than 5 million times, Jacqueline, who could have taken on this role of the media spokesperson, does not even mention the wearing of this vest.

For the moment, calls to the rally are therefore trying, but only at the local level. A map, published on the site Blockage November 17 lists 400 to date. Unsurprisingly, all planned events are illustrated by… a yellow vest and the creators of the site advise participants wearing the accessory during the event.

Proof of taking into account the grumbling, the policy is in any case of reassuring. “No, the police will not confiscate the yellow vests with reflective materials on November 17!”, She tweeted, to put an end to some rumors of conspiracy.

New safety vests for kindergartens

When it gets dark outside, children are particularly at risk. Also on the way to kindergarten or when you go home. Although they usually do this accompanied by their parents or grandparents, they should still wear safety vests.

Otherwise, it can quickly lead to bad accidents. That’s why the kindergartens are helped now. The children of all day-care centers with corresponding needs can now fall back on the widely illuminated safety vests with reflective materials provided by Raiffeisenbank Kaarst together with Volksbank Düsseldorf-Neuss. Representing all kindergartens, a small delegation of the kindergarten has taken the vest in Kaarst town hall. These children are allowed to take home with them to be able to put them on their way to kindergarten in the morning. “We will also use you for excursions. It’s great that we can now spend new vests, “said Kita director Nathalie happily at the handover by Raiffeisenbank board member Martin Amman.

The kindergarten also has a great need. “We could use 25 more vests,” says director Stefanie Schneider: “We got a few vests through the ADAC, but are also registered for this action,” says Schneider on request of our editors. It assumes that the responsible employee of the Youth Welfare Office will bring in the West in the coming days. The vest with reflective tape for the daycare center on the buzzard road is ready for pickup in the city hall, as a spokeswoman said on Montage. The second establishment of the family center Kaarst, sufficient safety vests is available. “We currently have two groups of West available, which is enough,” says a spokeswoman.

Reflective clothing is especially important

Reflective clothing is especially important in the dark season.

Not everyone can afford an airbag helmet, but already conventional accessories can provide significantly more safety when cycling – especially in city traffic. These purchases make sense.

Protectors

Not only falls can be intercepted by knee and elbow protectors, even in bicycle accidents protect protectors from painful injuries. Anyone who is also on the BMX bike in the skate park should also think about a back protector. Because a fall on the back can have dramatic consequences.

Fluorescent jackets which made of reflective fabric

The reflective vest is no longer a novelty, but you can still see cyclists without – or does not see them. Anyone driving a car knows how hard it is to see dark-clad cyclists at dusk. Meanwhile, there are also fashionable variants, such as belts made of LED lights.

Rearview mirror

In order to have good visibility in the flowing (city) traffic to the rear, we recommend the purchase of a rear-view mirror. Nevertheless, the little helpers, of course, do not replace a shoulder glance – especially when turning and overtaking! Who combines both, is safe on the road.

Will Donald Trump move Halloween?

In any case, it is the wish already made by thousands of Americans through a petition.

In France as in a number of European countries, it is possible to celebrate Halloween without worrying too much about bedtime. The party is set for October 31, the eve of All Saints, a large part of the population can enjoy this holiday to recover from his evening.

In the United States, November 1 is not a holiday, which seems to be a problem for a growing number of citizens across the country. As a matter of fact, a petition is circulating to ask that the Halloween date is officially moved. At the time of writing, more than 16,000 people have signed to have Pumpkin Day and Michael Myers celebrate on the last Saturday in October.

Safer children

These are primarily safety reasons that are advanced by the authors and others of the petition. In the text, more than 3,800 children who without wearing reflective materials are injured each year as part of their night sweets hunt. If accidents are so numerous, it is because 70% of parents do not accompany their children during their trip, but also because 65% would not have discussions with their offspring to the safety rules. Respect. Figures whose source was not provided by the petitioners.

No flashlight, no reflective tape, no reflective vest: most kids would walk in complete darkness until hours, at the risk of being run over by motorists or falling victim to fall. However, according to the group at the origin of the petition, this lack of security would be due in large part to the low mobilization of parents, who work the next day and therefore do not make themselves available enough for their children.

The authors’ theory is that placing Halloween on a Saturday would make the party more family-friendly, allowing parents and children to celebrate together, or in any case to pay more attention. In addition, some of the children would probably have the right to sleep later if Halloween was a Saturday, which would be total to their advantage.

Still, it seems difficult to move a party celebrated on the same date around the world. Addressed to Donald Trump, the petition should not be among the priorities of the US president, even if we can expect anything and everything until the end of his term.

Reminder of safety instructions

Police want to remind parents and kids of safety tips on Wednesday night to collect Halloween candies.

To ensure that children are clearly visible when traveling, it is advisable to choose reflective clothing with reflective tape. The costume should be short to prevent the child from stumbling and it is better to wear makeup rather than wearing a mask to see and hear well. It is also recommended to bring a flashlight.

During the evening, children should always:

Determine a trip and an hour of return with their parents;

Rest in a group or with the accompanying adult;

Never enter the houses, always wait outside;

Never follow a stranger, whether by car or on foot, refusing to approach a vehicle or to go up without the permission of his parents;

Browse one side of the street at a time and avoid crossing unnecessarily;

Cross streets at intersections and respect road signs;

Wear a reflective vest when go out at night;

Check with your parents the treats received to make sure you can eat them safely.

Finally, the police and the assurance automobile du Québec are asking for the cooperation of motorists who will have to be particularly careful and vigilant.

The dark season has started

Noticeably, the dark season has started. Rain, snow, darkness – diverse are the dangers that lurk children on their way to school. About to reduce this risk, MSC and the ADAC Foundation as part of the “Safety Action for First-graders,” distributed reflective vests to the freshman Scholl school students, who are the small road users to secure on their way to school. Thus, the first graders are genuine “traffic detectives”, who are in charge of the back of the vest.

At the Ulrich and Günter Schmitt of MSC, Mayor Claudia, Rector in Konstanz and of course the children with their teachers on site. 90 of the refugees and the first graders of the Geschwister-Scholl-School were distributed.

Fuller enthusiasm, children took the vest with the reflective fabric and tried it right away. Mayor Claudia thanked for the MSC for the commitment and this donation. Konstanz Burst noticed either, but they were very welcome to the coolest safety vest with the reflective material in the school. The traffic detectives of the Geschwister-Scholl-School are now definitely to be recognized and autumn can come.

Kate, a hard, a real, a tattooed!

The Duchess of Cambridge had the right to a henna tattoo session during a visit to Sunderland.

Kate breaks the codes, once again. If they do not really stick to the image of the royal family, the Duchess of Cambridge was still tempted by a tattoo … but only temporary. Catherine was indeed entitled to a henna design on her wrist during a visit to Sunderland on Wednesday, accompanied by her husband Prince William.

On the occasion of his visit to the north-eastern city of England, the Cambridge couple inaugurated a new community project, The Fire Station, a former fire station (hence its name) transformed into a music center and art. After a succession of shows, music, dance and theater interpreted by the young beneficiaries of the center, Kate lingered at the henna workshop, where she asked an 18-year-old girl to draw a pattern .

William screws the last bolt of the bridge

Radical change of style for the second visit of the day, as the duchess donned a reflective safety vest and hard hat to get to the site of the new Northern Spire Bridge. The work, scheduled to open in spring 2018, spans the Wear River. After talking with engineers involved in the project, William was asked to screw one of the last bolts of the deck parapets. “Is this a key element? What happens if he does not tighten properly? “Worried the prince jokingly, before adding, unsure of his qualities of worker:” We will leave and the bolt will fall all right now…”

Autumn on the roads. What to do to be safe?

In autumn conditions on the road are very variable and dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians. Fast darkening, rainfall, slippery surface are factors that negatively affect safety.The driver needs to wear a vest with reflective fabric.

Autumn is a dangerous time for all road users. Police statistics show that the most accidents happen at this time of the year. That’s why traffic cops appeal to everyone, both drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, to be especially cautious and careful.

Heavy rainfall, fog and early darkness limit visibility on the road. The wet and slippery roadway is also not conducive to the driver. An additional difficulty is often lying on the roadway leaves – in such conditions the braking distance may dangerously extend, and in extreme cases the driver may slip and not control the car. In the autumn, roadways may already be frozen, and therefore slippery, and in such situations the wheels easily lose their grip. Overtaking in such conditions, passing, cornering can be very dangerous. You should pay special attention to the depressions of the terrain, on hills, near forests and water reservoirs – the road can be particularly slippery there. Exercise extreme caution near pedestrian crossings. If the pedestrian enters the passage, the driver may not slow down.

Police officers recommend checking the condition of the tires in the used vehicle and lighting the vehicle. Drivers should remember to navigate the road with lights on and observe speed limits. It is worth remembering that in conditions of reduced air transparency, dipped beam should be switched on, and if visibility is limited to less than 50 m – rear fog lights.

Changing the aura forces drivers to change their driving techniques and adjust their speed to the prevailing road conditions. Exceeding the permissible speed and not maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front is one of the most common causes of accidents in autumn. If there is fog or heavy rainfall and heavy traffic on the road, slow down to the speed that allows the driver to control the traffic situation. The permissible speed does not always mean safe speed.

This period is also dangerous for drivers of motorcycles, who are increasingly using their machines until late autumn, and even throughout the year. Unfavorable atmospheric conditions reduce the grip of asphalt tires and even a seemingly ineffective fall when trying to brake suddenly can end tragically.

The police also appeals to pedestrians not to go directly in front of an oncoming vehicle. Even at the pedestrian crossing, make sure that the driver can slow down. Of course, the pedestrian takes precedence over the passage, but here the principle of limited trust is most applicable.

Every pedestrian and cyclist should also remember about their safety and take care to be visible. A reflective vest, key chain, headband or even a flashlight will make it easier to see the oncoming driver when moving along a poorly lit road. From August 31, 2014, all pedestrians who move around the dusk along the way outside the built-up area must have a reflection visible to the drivers. The lack of a reflective element is threatened by a fine. Although traffic regulations do not impose an obligation to use vests with reflective tapes in the built-up area, they, to a large extent, improve visibility. Police encourages pedestrians to wear retro-reflective elements at any time of the day, also in built-up areas, because they greatly improve visibility and avoid tragedy. They give drivers valuable time to take the right response – often saving lives and health.

An additional difficulty in the autumn is often worse well-being. Bad mood can affect the speed of reaction and concentration, which is also worth remembering when getting behind the wheel of a vehicle and moving on the road.
