Young artists Kobe’s company offer a dusted version of Misanthrope removed. The company takes one of the most played comedy highlighting the complexity of feelings while offering round trips between the contemporary period in which we live and the original text written. The play depicts the misadventures, whose uncompromising character collides with loose morals of the court society of the time when propriety and slander are the daily bread. Alceste does not tolerate weakness of his contemporaries, although he himself is not free. A room with a moral dimension ensures success for centuries.

Wear safety vest will be safer

Motorcycle riders are the most clueless with the new traffic law.

Yesterday was quite normal driving without retro reflective clothing and no lights on their vehicles to see.

Both are requirements circulation any time of day and disrespect carries a fine of ¢ 47,000 for each violation.

Diego Herrera, director of the Traffic Police, confirmed that the non-use of reflective vest or any other suit was one of the repeated violations s yesterday.

 

Furthermore, it is common to see that drivers take advantage of the dams to advance in the middle of the road.

Under the new traffic rule, who forth between lines of vehicles more than 25 kilometers per hour is exposed to a fine of ¢ 94,000.

The new provisions do not like at all drivers who complain of being forced to use safety devices at all times.

However, Silvia, director of the Road Safety Council, explained that the use of this device throughout the day approved the recommendation of the Motorcycle Importers Association.

 

“As there are sunny days, there is very dark or rainy days, when clarity is drastically reduced and it is necessary to make them visible,” said Bolanos.

It is planned that next Tuesday discusses the regulations with the specifications of the retro safety vest; then it would take public consultation (through publication in La Gaceta) and is expected to govern two weeks later.

 

Another complaint is that motorcyclists are forced to turn on the lights at any time and that represents an additional expense of battery. But Bolanos said the battery of the bike “generates one, and there is no justification for saying that consumption increases.”

Do not leave children in the dark: Use reflective material to Stay Bright

Driving in the dark without reflective clothing is inherently dangerous. If we cannot see clearly where we are going, we will have risk going to crash, an event whose consequences are often fatal. But there are those who still run more dangers and infinitely more serious people who are in a vehicle: the pedestrians. Even more are the children. A campaign promoted by the FIA, the International Automobile Federation, seeks to remind young users the correct way to move around in the street when the light is poor.

The dark is difficult to see not only the limits of the road but also what lies in between. The street lighting is often insufficient, even in residential areas; because public authorities are fast to save money on useful things, almost as much as they are rapid into wasting money in questionable loans. In the face of the duty, imposed by the Highway Code, provide for the safety of the streets of their property. So when we find ourselves suddenly on a collision course a dark figure, small size and moving, tragedy is always lurking. Sometimes only the case ensures that nothing happens.

In addition there is added at times unsafe behavior of children themselves, and here are the parents having to make an examination of conscience. Apart from the fact that it is foolish to send out children alone in the dark; in addition, to make matters worse, they often do not even let them wear the reflective vest. Moreover, they do not even many adults. Similarly when they are not wearing a seat belt or traveling holding babies in their arms. There is still much to be done to put into people’s minds the culture of safety in the street.

E ‘it was even coined a hash tag for social media, of course #Stay Bright.

The campaign is geared specifically to children, who have a tendency to figure out things on the fly, when adults deign to explain them properly and clearly. A fundamental fact: the dark a child by bicycle or on foot is only seen at the distance of 10 meters. But at 50 Km / h, by urban speed limit, they walk almost 14 meters per second. Then the driver would have less than a second time to prevent the baby in the dark. Let alone at a higher speed. Instead with a reflective vest approved the visibility rises to 50 meters, a distance more than sufficient to avoid risks.

It is not enough. The campaign Stay Bright summarizes these tips for children. If you travel by bike : wear a reflective vest and a white helmet or other clear and bright color; always have a light-functioning white or yellow and red front lagging behind; Also the pedals and the inside of the circles should have reflective parts.

If you walk on foot: still wearing the safety vest; walking on the sidewalk on far away as possible from the road and proceed in the opposite direction to the vehicle operating conditions (to see them arrive); when they must cross, always do it on strips in locations where the visibility is good, both for the traffic that comes that for the child.

Roadway – the driving, sidewalk – to walk, cycle track

A simple statement, but it is difficult to remember. We remind you the most important information about the movement of cyclists, but with whom we should be familiar with EVERY road, and wearing your safety vest at dark condition.

BUS lane – is only for buses and trolley buses and other vehicles engaged in the carriage of persons payable on regular lines

Passage for cyclists – the surface of the road or track designed for passing cyclists, where cyclists have priority – it does not mean that you can charge them. At crossings in force, as everywhere on public roads, the principle of trust and caution. Allow you to see the driver of the car, and thus give him a chance to disappearance of priority.

Pedestrian crossing – does not drive for kowtow- wanting to get to the other side of the road at a pedestrian crossing must dismount and carry him on the lanes.

Mandatory equipment bicycle

The lights cycle must be attached at a height no higher than 150 cm and not less than 25 cm from the road surface.
