The opponents in reflective vest hold a sharp protest

Several dozen opponents in yellow vest of presidential couple Lech and Maria Kaczynski on the Wawa Hill met on the first anniversary of the Wawa Hill funeral. Demonstration takes place under the slogan “Wawa without politicians”. Participants chanted the slogan “Cardinal mistake” and “Wawa kings, not presidents”. There was talk of verbal opponents and supporters of burial at Wawa.

 

Demonstration dressed in reflective waistcoats formed a cube before entering the castle from Canonizes Street. Passers gave away the flags with the inscription “Cardinal error 18.04.2010”. Among the gathered were the verbal attacks of adversaries and supporters of burial at Wawa.

 

According to the representatives of the “Civic Wawa” Association, which is protesting against the burial of the presidential couple at Wawa, the place and other national symbols were appropriated and used by politicians. They chatted: “Cardinal mistake” and “Wawa kings, not presidents”. A few days later – notwithstanding the Poles’ opinion – a controversial decision on the burial place of the President of the Republic of Poland has been made, “reads the leaflet of the association.

 

The protesters demand the depolarization of Wawa, which, in their opinion, should serve the inhabitants of Cracow and tourists. At the same time, they assured that their goal was not to bring the bodies of the Presidential couple to Warsaw.

According to the protesters in reflective vest, the quarrels of Poles after the Smolensk crash did not begin at the cross in front of the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, just from the error of Cardinal Stanislaw, the decision to burial the presidential couple at Wawa.

 

Will it get to a fight?

In the evening, two demonstrations were announced in Krakow: supporters of “Gazette Polkaed” and anti-burial camps of Lech and Maria Kaczynski in Cracow.

As the RMF FM learned, both manifestations may meet before the Katy Cross at the church of Sts. Diego. There are plans to move people who will come to Krakow to commemorate the anniversary of the funeral of the presidential couple. The organizers of this demonstration estimate that it could be up to 1000 right-wing activists.

 

At the same time, the opponents of the presidential couple in Krakow will be countered by Wawa Hill. There the demonstration will end on Bernadine Street, which is in a straight line 100 meters from the square, where Pisa supporters will be.

The Krakow municipality assures that the two manifestations will not come into contact with each other. It may, however, be enough for verbal rants. Law and Justice Deputies filed flowers – without J. Kaczynski. On the first anniversary of the burial of the presidential couple in Wawa, MPs paid flowers at the grave of Lech and Maria Kaczynski in the afternoon.

 

– We made flowers, we prayed for a moment. It has been a year since this tragedy. Exactly a year ago the whole nation faded here his president, a presidential couple. Time is running fast – he told reporters. “It is up to our hearts today to be able to return to these kinds of national retreats that took place here exactly a year ago in Wawa,” said Brazens in safety vest.

Silesian police in safety vest are offering free reviews

On Friday afternoon in Tychy started the activities of the Silesian highway “Make a free winter review”. The date of their launch was not accidental because it coincided with the beginning of the nationwide action “Zincs 2016”. Everything is regard to the road safety of road users. The action is carried out together with the diagnostic stations. From October 26 to November 4, nearly 30 vehicle inspection stations located in the 18 districts of the Silesian=, who would like to be able to check the technical condition of the vehicle free of charge before winter or on a long journey.

 

Controls will be:

– steering – responsible for keeping the driving direction constant or changing it according to the driver’s will, its smooth operation can help you get out of the slippery road, which is easy in the wet or slippery road in winter.

 

– A braking system designed to reduce the speed or stop the vehicle according to the driver’s will. Only uniform braking force on the left and right wheels allows for a safe braking maneuver in winter conditions.

 

– Vehicle lighting. Only correct alignment of lights and proper use of the reflective material will make us visible to others, and drivers will be able to see everything that happens on the road and affects safety.

 

– Car tires. When it is in proper condition, it will not allow the vehicle to lose its grip on the road in the winter, so the tread will be checked, any mechanical damage that will prevent further operation and tire air pressure.

 

During the action the police and the diagnose will give the drivers reflective vest, while asking if the pedestrians encountered on the road, especially at dusk, with a poorly visible pedestrian, stopped and handed him a “glare”. During the operation, everyone could use a roofing simulator from the Provincial Road Traffic Center in Katowice.

 

Interested diagnostic stations may still wish to participate in the action by contacting the police units in the cities in which they operate, prior to contacting the Roads Department of the Municipal and District Headquarters to update the list.

Overview – Reflective School in SP 5

Miss Katarina and Maria – Gaga reminded the students of the principles of safe driving on the roads and handed diplomas and awards to the winners of the competitions, which took place from September to October.

 

In contrast, class Imia, under the care of Mrs. Kristina, prepared a presentation with valuable advice on how to be visible on the road. Together with our younger and older colleagues we learned rhymes: “Are there any reflective vest in Locus or in Nod?”

 

Parents of students were reminded of the “Open Day” of the amended Road Traffic Law, which requires all pedestrians to use reflective elements.

“Five” Locus promoted initiatives to reduce traffic hazards through numerous competitions, and provided all students with safety vests and reflective elements.

 

Two men without safety vest were killed on the spot

wo pedestrians died without wearing reflective vest after being knocked down by a personal fixture. The driver was sober. The event took place on the road Barossa Kathryn at the crossroads with the road to Meadow.

 

On Thursday (15 December) approx. 17:20 on the road Barossa Kathryn, at the crossroads with the road, there was a fatal road accident. Two men aged 58 and 61 were killed on site, according to preliminary findings crossing the road from the bus creek, about 50 meters from the designated pedestrian crossing, reports young. Beat Patoka, press officer of the Police Headquarters.

 

– Men were hit by a personal fixture. The 32-year-old resident of the municipality of Spool was a sober man. He was with the passenger. Preliminary findings indicate that the driver did not notice in the dark men. They did not have any reflective material on their clothing – informs Beta Pataki.

 

A prosecutor arrives at the place of the tragic accident and the prosecution is under his charge. Beta Pataki shared with us the information that she was doing today on traffic safety with seniors. They gave them reflective items to wear on clothes, after dark, outside the built-up area. Tomorrow, there will be another, previously scheduled activities for seniors with the same theme…

 

Spring Bike: 5 things you should keep in mind

The bike season has already started and it is well worth the preparation. Where to start and what do we have to remember before we go for a spring ride? The reflective jacket is a good suit for riding on road.

 

  1. Review of the bike

The first and basic activity, unfortunately we often forget. The review is best done in the fall, just after the end of the two-wheel drive season. It is best to go to a service site where the brakes and oil chain are adjusted. Such an operation should not cost more than 100 zlotys. However, if you have only woken up now, you must accept that the spring of waiting for a bicycle test may be longer.

 

If our skateboard is in good condition, this review can be done by us. “If he rode in the autumn and we kept him in a dry place, he would probably ride well after pumping,” explains Power Torsi from Costar Duty Bike. For sure, let’s check the tires, because if they are spared and cracked, it may soon be necessary to replace them.

 

  1. Preparation – exercise for the cyclist

If we slept rather than slept on the couch in the winter, and the activity was limited to the slopes of the fridge, it would also be worth taking a small warm-up before the first cycling trip. Sows, although unpopular, can effectively protect us from leaven. Equally important are the muscles of the abdomen and the back. An excellent and unbearable exercise will be the “board”.

 

  1. Safety on the bike

Here the rule is simple – we are obliged to buy a helmet. Today it is no longer synonymous with oracles, and more interesting models and felons. A helmet is a basic protection on the roadway. Another important element is lighting. Many of us forget about the backlight, which in particular in urban traffic is extremely important. Those who move on poorly lit roads should also invest in reflective vest.

 

  1. Equipment

First, let’s get used to the bike, and then think about everything that can make us ride. If a bike is used to move to work, we will not need special sportswear. Of course, it is worth to ensure a minimum of comfort and wear a sports t-shirt, which after the change from the bike to something more representative.

 

It is only when we start to treat our bikes more professionally; it is worth thinking about comfortable trousers (those who have driven 50 kilometers without them will understand that they can give in the bone). We also need gloves, because the hands are rubbing after several tens of minutes of uninterrupted driving, and during spring rides can also protect us from the cold.

 

  1. Buy used bike

For many of us the greatest motivation for activity is the purchase of equipment. Often, instead of choosing a new bicycle, we choose to use it. In such cases, however, we should be very careful. Patel Turks senses, in order to first check the wheels, these should work equally and not bend to the right and left. Another important element is the frame, if it is dented, it is expected that the bike in this place may have a weakened construction, and replacement of the frame and repair of the wheels involves considerable costs.

 

It is hard to believe that a few decades ago the safety belts were considered technological novelties, and dormant pigs were used for car crash tests. Today, drivers’ safety is ensured by sensors, state-of-the-art monitoring systems, and even intelligent tires.

 

At first, the car designers did not attach much importance to the safety of the drivers. Cars were to be faultless, other issues were considered insignificant. Particularly safe, even if the first cars were moving at 20-30 km / h. The “magic barrier” of 100 km / h was exceeded only in 1902, but still considered a crazy record, not a normal operating speed.

“Reflections Day” – a pedestrian lane giving pedestrian glare

On January 25, 2017, for the first time in the whole country, including in the Lubes County, the “Reflections Day” was held for the first time. Police officers from the Road Traffic Command of the Lumbar Police Headquarters gave pedestrians and bicyclists reflective and reflective vest.

 

The Lumbar county road traffic preventive measures have been implemented to improve the safety of pedestrians. The officers gave unprotected road traffic to the reflexes and the bikers were provided with reflective vests. By law, any pedestrian who moves in the dusk on the road outside the built-up area is obliged to use reflective elements. Keep in mind that in the confrontation with the vehicle, the walker is always in a lost position. The bumper, the car mask and the airbag are not protected by it.

 

Hikers make a particularly vulnerable group of road users in the winter. There are always illuminated roads, lack of designated places for safe pedestrians on the road (especially outside built-up areas), and improper use of roads by pedestrians themselves, causing many accidents.

 

We appeal to pedestrians to take care of their safety during these dangerous months. Traffic policemen in reflective uniform will pay particular attention to the behavior of drivers in relation to pedestrians, but they will also watch closely whether the pedestrians do not break the rules of traffic.

Things to keep in the car – safety equipment

Often, during a car breakdown, a longer trip, or even a daily drive, there is a shortage that, although apparently trivial, could solve the problem at once. So what is it worth to have with you to feel comfortable in almost every situation, but at the same time do not play a car?

 

Mandatory and recommended equipment of the car

The catalog of useful things in the car without a doubt should start with those whose possession is required by Polish law. They are a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. You do not have to explain that having these things is an absolute minimum for security. When choosing a triangle, it is important to note that it has the appropriate approval mark. Such products have a large reflective surface, which significantly increases our safety.

 

We also need to take care of the proper condition of the fire extinguisher. – According to the law, the fire extinguisher should be kept in a proper condition so that it works efficiently and efficiently. Moreover, it should be placed in a place easily accessible if needed, explains Inspector Mares from the Police Headquarters. In many European countries a reflective vest is also compulsory. In Poland this is not necessary, which does not mean that this element is superfluous? Interestingly, the required items also do not include first aid – this is only a recommended item. Nevertheless, it should appear with the basic elements in our car.

 

Useful tools in case of damage to the car may seem like unnecessary ballast only to the first failure. It is always a good idea to keep the items in your car in an emergency. These items include, for example, a set of keys, a tow rope, a pocket knife and a rectifier. You need to adapt the kit to the car model – you only have to bring with you the tools by which we are able to correct minor defects themselves. – New car models in many cases are only able to fix the specialist. Therefore, if we are not convinced that we can fix the problem, it is better to call for help – says Pewee, Auto Express consultant. It may also be useful to have spare parts such as a wheel or bulbs. If you decide to repair the problem yourself, you should bring accessories that will make it easier for us to work with. So we should pack the work gloves with reflective tape, the blanket for the car, and the torch.

 

Safety equipments of car for winter holidays

The requirements for the equipment of a car traveling on Polish roads are the result of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure and should be known to all who have passed the driving test. In the car you need a fire extinguisher (approved, with valid expiry date) and a warning triangle. Without these two elements, police control can cost a lot – from 20 to 500 gold. Not all drivers know that there is no obligation to have a first aid kit or reflective vest, though it is worth having them in the car.

 

Meanwhile, traveling around Europe involves the necessity to have more useful elements, other than in Poland. For example: you do not have to have a fire extinguisher everywhere. It is not compulsory in Switzerland. It is hard to imagine that someone crossing the border will throw it out of the car.

 

It is therefore imperative that you add the following items to your vehicle’s equipment, generally improving safety in case of emergency or unforeseen problems. And so, the main thing you need when traveling – apart from a triangle and a fire extinguisher – is a reflective vest. It is mandatory in many countries of the European Union, including: Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, France and Slovakia. In some countries, such as Germany or Austria, in the event of a breakdown, you must not leave the car without a vest on highways or motorways. Switzerland, on the other hand, is harsh in terms of warning triangles, as regulations require two such security measures.

 

The absolutely unknown law in Poland is the necessity to carry spare bulbs with you. Many drivers from our country have them “just in case” but there are countries where they need to have them. This applies, inter alia, to Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Italy.

Scandinavian countries are not allowed to ride on “bald tires” – the tread thickness must be at least 1.6 millimeters, and in Spain blind drivers must drive in the car a second pair of glasses. Mountainous countries, in turn, require snow chains and require them to be used on certain roads.

 

The most restrictive and demanding country for motorized tourists is our neighboring Slovakia. Road law is exceptionally detailed in it. In addition to obvious requirements – such as having a triangle or fire extinguisher, you need to have spare fuses, bulbs, full-sized wheels, a lift, a wrench, and a tow rope. First aid kit in this country must be equipped with slices, dressings, isothermal foil, rubber gloves with reflective tape, safety pins and elastic bands.

 

The regulations on the compulsory equipment of the car in each country are slightly different, so before each trip make sure that we absolutely should take with us on the road.

 

Police in safety vest control abroad

The holiday season is a big step, so it is time to travel around Poland and other countries. It is important to know what safety equipment must be on board our car during police inspections. It is important to remember that the requirements in Poland and abroad are very different.

 

Both in our country and abroad, we must be supplied primarily with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Importantly, both components must bear the approval mark. Without a fire extinguisher and a triangle, there is a mandate risk of 20 to 500 zł. The fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be used immediately if necessary. The extinguishing agent content must be not less than 1 kg.

 

In Poland there is no requirement for a first aid kit and reflective vest, but it is certainly worth having in your car, for your own safety and for others. These elements are compulsory in the vast majority of EU countries, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Germany or Slovakia. Interestingly, in the latter vest is also required for the passenger.

 

Drivers often forget about the proper marking of the vehicle’s stoppage (during a malfunction or catching a rubber). For missing or incorrect signaling of the stoppage you have to pay a penalty of 150 zł, and on the motorways the tariff is expected to double the amount. This also applies to the marking of a towed vehicle.

 

France, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and Slovakia – spare bulbs and safety vests are required in these countries. In France you also need two disposable breathers for the driver and the passenger. In Spanish we need spare glasses if we have information on mandatory use of glasses in our driving license.
