In Vienna, the police officer Manuela made her big appearance on Wednesday: At the kick-off for the traffic safety campaign of the ÖAMTC under the title, “See and be seen” was presented what comes from her hand. Wilhelm: “Three years ago, I crocheted hoods with reflective yarn for the children of a friend. The visibility of children in the dark season on the road was a concern to me.”
At the same time, the ÖAMTC issued a competition. Wilhelm handed one of her caps and won.
Now the special handicraft celebrates a success. The ÖAMTC presented the reflective hoods and their “inventor” in Vienna at the campaign launch. That does not mean that the police officer in her free time crochets out hell. “I only do the hoods for so-called home use,” says Wilhelm. However, after their submission, the ÖAMTC makes the caps in larger quantities and they are available in every ÖAMTC base.
