“Most important, exit the vehicle on the passenger side and embark directly behind the guardrail,” says Kurt.

 

Step 4: Set up the warning triangle

If all occupants of moving traffic in security secure the vehicle from: Place the warning triangle with reflective tape at the right edge of the roadway on. On motorways there should be 150 meters ahead of the broken-down vehicle are positioned so that the following road users sufficient time to adjust their driving behavior accordingly.

Day of the bicycle with reflective accessory

It often happens in traffic to dangerous situations between bicycles and cars. And every city there is quite typical cyclist. Here you can see an overview of the most annoying two-wheeler users.

 

  1. The fight rider

The street is his kingdom, he is the king, the wheel his scepter. The fight rider takes his brake only to come to a halt at the destination while driving, it is only decoration. The denser the traffic, the faster it tries to squeeze through cars, motorcycles and trains.

 

No red light can stop him; no crosswalk compels him to pace reduction. And woe to anyone is so bold, his attention to his misbehavior. Hardly one of his trips lacks menacing fists skyward facing middle fingers.

 

  1. The Schleicher

All time of the world. And above all, more time than motorists driving behind him and not gets past him. There is no evil intention; a lot more is the Schleicher with him, his bicycle – usually a city bike – and the whole world at peace.

  1. Die Mami

That is, usually it is more behind it and mommy holds all five feet abruptly to look after her little ones: “Maximilian Joel, you come please” motorists who encounter such a tired family flock, must be vigilant.

 

  1. The athlete

A wheel is not a means of transportation, but a sports device. And every journey is a training, road users are challengers, green traffic lights start character, red lights superfluous. Whether two kilometers or 20 kilometers – no distance is too short for skintight cycling shorts and embarrassing printed cycling jerseys with reflective fabric. The eyewear fits naturally colored it. But even more important than the appearance is of course the technology. A wheel under 5000 Euro is the name wheel and not worth a ride without a speedometer is lost lifetime.

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.”

Ten tips to combat the cold on the bike

If you are one of those bikers who do not miss the winter concentrations as the Festival of Valladolid Moto do not miss these tricks to keep warm and avoid accidents. Especially you ridding at night without reflective vest.

 

Valladolid will host from 8 to 10 January at the Moto Festival, a winter concentration aims to keep alive the spirit of penguins and reaffirm the city as European Capital of bike in winter. Although this year is expected a somewhat softer than the usual weather, we must not forget that the fog, frost and cold are common elements in the city at this time. If you’re going to be one of the brave people who attend this event on two wheels are some tips to combat the weather and avoid mishaps.

 

  1. Before getting in the way, check the drawing of the wheels. It is important to good adhesion in case of ice or snow.

 

  1. Make sure the battery is fully charged and in case carries tweezers. It is very common to encounter problems to boot after a good frost. Not more than cover your bike with a holster, either purchased or homemade, especially if you camp.

 

  1. Bring a reflective element to be seen despite the typical mists. Do not forget that bikes are less visible than their smaller cars and generally do not carry fog lights.

 

  1. Not only matter to be seen, but also see. If your helmet does not have a screen anti-fogging can hit a special foil or apply a spray to prevent fogging. Do not forget to close the air inlets.

 

  1. Use and thermal socks. Hands and feet are the body parts most chilling on the bike and can be dangerous to lose sensitivity. One trick is to get some emergency thin plastic bags on their feet and gloves of the same material in his hands. You can even stop at a gas station and pick up the gloves that provide for gas. Incidentally, if you’re en route and has gotten into you cold in the body, go to the bathroom and hand dryers used to heat the inside of the helmet and windbreaker gloves. It will help a lot to get warm.

 

  1. Ideally hand guards or thermal wear for the hand cuffs not the worst of the wind takes. If this is not your case, you can fabricate a hand guards cutting some plastic bottles in half and adjusting the bike with electrical tape.

 

  1. If you still do not enter your hands warm hand warmers or you can use instant heat bags, some cheap and small devices that are instantly heated when pressed or bent.

 

  1. Apply a good layer of moisturizer (better the more unctuous) in the hands, feet and face. It helps isolate cold skin and prevents from cracking. You can also do some warm up exercises just before getting on the bike, as if you were to play sports. The body will be prepared and accumulate some heat for the road.

 

  1. Do not forget to bring a good neck and shirt and thermal pants under clothing with reflective material. If you do not have time to buy a home remedy is to line the chest with newspaper. You can also use the mono or rain pants but not going to rain because it will fulfill two functions: windbreaks and will protect you from moisture from the fog.

 

10. If you go camping, remember that the cold will come mainly from the ground. a good insulation is essential. The sleeping bag is also very important and, although it seems a contradiction, it is better to wear skimpy clothes to get into it. The sack fulfill its function, and accumulating layers of clothing will only get you sweat and then just stand cold moisture

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.
