Fatal accident

Police officers under the supervision of the District Prosecutor’s Office, explain the circumstances of the accident that occurred last night. A 65-year-old man was mortally knocked down on an unlit stretch of road.

The tragic event took place on Wednesday, November 28, around 20:30 on the national road No. 42.

As it results from preliminary findings, on a straight stretch of road in an unlit place, a 19-year-old resident of the County, driving a VW passenger car, hit a 65-year-old man, a resident of the commune, on the road.

As a result of injuries, the pedestrian was killed on the spot. The driver was sober. The body of a 65-year-old and the vehicle were secured at the disposal of the prosecutor’s office. The policemen carried out a detailed inspection, securing forensic traces.

Traffic policemen appeal to everyone, both drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, for particular caution and prudence. Drivers should remember to navigate the road with the light on and observe the speed limits, and when weather conditions are worse, to slow down according to the principle that slower means safer. We appeal not to charge, think or anticipate threats. It is worth to check the technical condition of the vehicle, which will answer the question of whether our vehicle is efficient and safe. A special appeal is also directed at 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, keychain, headband or even a flashlight will make it easier to see the oncoming driver when moving on a poorly lit road. We would like to remind you that 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 material is threatened by a fine. Although traffic regulations do not impose an obligation to use vests with reflective tapes and reflective elements in the built-up area, they, to a large extent, improve visibility. They give drivers valuable time to take the right response – often saving their health.

A parade in the city center before different actions

Several dozen “yellow vests” who wore yellow reflective vests formed a procession this Sunday afternoon in downtown, where the action could take a form other than the dams filtering.

Between 50 and 70 yellow vests marched in downtown, this Sunday, from 2:45 pm. They converged on the fair Saint-Martin installed place Jean, shouting “Fairgrounds with us”. The demonstrators had found support acquired since the fairground manufacturers are several to display the famous vest on their attractions. On Saturday 17 November, the first day of this mobilization, they were at the head of the snail operation which had gathered between 200 and 250 vehicles.

Stop what can penalize citizens

The call for this rally was launched via the Facebook group. A medium on which the communication will be redesigned, as indicated by Aurelia and Laetitia, two new spokespersons “yellow jackets” who wore reflective clothing with reflective tapes. The idea is to “stop the actions that can penalize citizens, but to ensure that this movement continues to be visible,” explained the two young women.

The members of the local movement agreed to stop the filter dams. However, it is expected that this place continues to host his lot of yellow vests, but no impact on traffic. In the ranks of the demonstrators gathered in front of the tourist office, some reminded moreover that they have been there daily for more than a week.

The two spokespersons did not wish to say more about the nature of future actions. This information will be delivered in priority to Yellow Vests via Facebook, a new group, closed this one, having been created. In addition, they indicate that a regrouping of movements at the Cornwall scale is underway. They had to meet officials from other cities, especially Quimper, this Sunday.

What should you know before traveling?

Poles do not shy away from foreign car trips. They often result from saving compared to, for example, air transport prices. Regardless of the reason for the decision to travel by own car to other countries, you should prepare yourself accordingly. Second movement rules in other countries usually differ from those in force in Poland.

Although the issues of equipping a car traveling on European roads are set out in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, in many countries, there is no shortage of different legal tools.

What to pay attention to before traveling abroad by car?

A national driving license is sufficient for traveling around Europe. The obligation to have an international driving license is min. In Mexico, Brazil or the United Arab Emirates. The issue of car documents and insurance looks different. Regardless of the direction of travel, you must take your registration document and proof of the OC policy with you. In addition, in the case of trips to countries outside the European Union, it is necessary to have an international insurance certificate. Colloquially, it is referred to as a “green card”.

Another important issue during the preparation for a foreign trip is checking traffic regulations with particular emphasis on all restrictions. It is worth paying attention to:

Speed limits on particular types of roads.

Regulations regarding the possession of a reflective vest with reflective tape for the driver and passengers.

Procedure for dealing with roadside checks.

Rules on the obligation to ride on winter tires (in winter).

How should a car be equipped for a foreign trip?

Thanks to the provision of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, it is enough that the car will be equipped with reflective materials that are required by national law. If the driver has everything he needs to drive in Poland, it is also sufficient for trips to other European countries.

At the same time, it should be noted that even the reflective vest is not considered as a car’s equipment and its possession is required in many countries. For your peace of mind, it is worth having not only a vest but also spare bulbs and fuses that can be useful in case of problems with the car.

As for the specific requirements for mandatory car equipment in the countries concerned, such data are published by the European Commission.

The police soon “shone” at the pedestrians in Ostrava

With the arrival of typically autumn weather and shorter days, accidents involving pedestrians are increasing every year. Experts believe it is advisable for pedestrians to have reflective materials in cities where it is not mandatory yet.

Fog, rain and still shortening the day. These factors, combined with carelessness and carelessness, are worth pedestrian accidents. Every year, police record an increased number of such cases. Accidents occur mostly in the evening and in the evening, but also in the morning when there is no daylight.

And on the pedestrian’s behavior in low visibility, the Moravian-Silesian police officers focused on Tuesday. “Enlighten” them in the morning on the busy Centro Street in Ostrava.

In this context, experts recommend that people have reflective features even in cities where it is not yet mandatory. The obligation applies only when the visibility is limited outside the community when moving along the edge or edge of the road in a location where there is no public lighting.

According to experts, it is important on the roads to observe the rule of seeing and being seen. Under reduced visibility, this is double. Many drivers who injured pedestrians said they did not see it at all or too late. Pedestrian visibility can be enhanced by suitably chosen colors of clothing, patches, and accessories from special materials. Still used are the reflective tapes that people put on their clothes or bags. They are visible up to 200 meters.

Safety vests for the first graders

“Just make sure” is the motto of the ADAC safety campaign for the first graders. This year, the ADAC Foundation “Gelber Engel” distributed 760,000 of the popular yellow safety vests nationwide to new schoolchildren.

With the coming dark season, especially the young road users are overlooked. Reflective tapes and signal colors increase the visibility, because a child in dark clothes recognizes a motorist only from 25 meters away, with the ADAC safety vest already from 140 meters.

A few days ago, the annual transfer of the safety vests to the children of the new first classes took place at the school. As usual, the vests were handed over by Mr. Floss from the Reagan police. Also present were Rector Jana and the teachers of the first classes.

Mr. Floss greeted the 94 children and made them realize how important wearing this vest in the dark season. All students were enthusiastic about this meaningful gift and promised to always wear the vest with reflective material on the way to school and immediately put it on for a joint photo.

 

Tally even grabs mannequin as litter

“In the meantime, I have been on my way nine times where I have filled no less than 46 garbage bags. You will find the oddest stuff, lots of food, but also bottles, cans, laughing gas ampoules and lastly even a mannequin. Of course not in my garbage bag, so I contacted the DAR for that. ”

Wherever you look, you will find littering virtually anywhere on the street. A thorn in the eye of the Tally van Hues. As a Neighborhood Hero, she regularly goes out to get rid of ‘her’ streets from all that lying around. “It’s important that it happens naturally, but it’s also fun to do.”

“For two years I sighed with great regularity that there was so much waste along the street. This spring I had enough of it and in all my goodness I thought: I’ll give up.” She signed up for the national litter day on 17 March and went with four trash bags to the Van street. “So there were far too few”, laughs Tally. “We had to get a few more extras because I had seven bags full on the short distance that I had covered.”

This made Tally realize that the problem was even bigger than she thought. “I have been retiring since June and I wanted to keep moving, so I hit two birds with one stone.” As a Registered member, you keep your neighborhood cleans with other Neighborhood Heroes. When it suits you, you walk through a clearing around your neighborhood and then clean up the litter that you encounter. As a result, your neighborhood will not only look better, there will also be the less new waste on the street and in the green.

“As a Neighborhood Hero, I have adopted three streets” I regularly walk through the cleaning lane through the streets where I have been walking regularly, during these rounds I only do that with my Neighborhood Hero attributes.” Registered district heroes receive a safety vest with reflective tape, a good grab stick, special waste bags and a waste card with which they can dispose of the bags in all underground residual waste containers in the municipality.

Tally finds her ‘work’ not only very important to do, but also very nice and you see immediate results. “It’s great to be out and about, so I always try to walk around so that people can see my jacket properly, because on the back there is sign logo which made by reflective heat transfer vinyl, so I hope to create more awareness because that’s what I think is the first step.”

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.

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.

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.
