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.

Looker: Reflective material for spraying

In winter, the risk of being overlooked in the dark increases sharply. The Albedo100 Reflective material Spray makes you or your bike to the reflector and makes even the pet shine.

 

You may be prescribed by traffic regulations, but only a few bikers ride the whole range of required reflectors walk on the bike. This is strictly true taken “only” a misdemeanor, but particularly critical, especially in autumn and winter time. Because in the dark visibility means safety – and not just for mountain bikers.

 

The Albedo100 reflector sprays the Swedish manufacturer track Invent aim to remedy this. With the three different reflectors of the reflective jacket, pants, shoes, backpacks, bicycles, prams, dog leashes, or even the coat of the pet with a light reflecting layer can be provided.

 

The handling is easy: Spray the desired location, ready. Impregnations against the Overlook are quasi. According to the manufacturer, the textile and Bearskin sprays are harmless, daytime almost invisible, keep about a week and are easy to wash out with soap or shampoo. The permanent adhesive spray for surfaces and objects of various kinds is a gray paint that is gentle enough that one cans thus also spraying his helmet without its protective effect is impaired.

 

The Albedo100 Reflective spays are an interesting way to their own visibility or to rise of things to be seen doing better in the dark easily. So in Sweden even reindeer herds are sprayed with to avoid accidents – no kidding! This does not only reduce the number animals. When a 300 kg heavy Ran shoots through the windshield, which is very bad for the vehicle occupants.

 

The matter is so serious. Why also the traditional safety-conscious car manufacturer Volvo involved in the distribution of the spray under the label of “Life Spray”. How many sprayings needs it, however, to bring the people like in the video here to shine, just a practice test can show.

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.

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 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.
