How to protect a pedestrian on the road in the dark

Klops publishes instructions for Kaliningraders on actions in extreme and everyday situations that require attention. Experts explain where to turn and how to act.

White or yellow clothes will make the pedestrian more noticeable for drivers, and the use of reflective material elements will significantly reduce the risk of getting under the car in the dark. Klops, with the help of the propaganda group of the regional traffic police, prepared recommendations for its readers on how to protect a pedestrian on the road.

Out of town – with reflectors

According to the rules of the road, in the dark, a pedestrian must use reflective fabric elements on clothing. In the city, this is just a recommendation, and outside the settlement, the requirement becomes mandatory. For violation, a fine of 500 rubles is imposed.

How to choose a light element

You can purchase a keychain with a reflective element and hang it on a bracelet. There are also badges and reflective stickers that can be attached to clothes, a backpack or a bag. Such trifles can be bought for 60 rubles at Russian Post offices, supermarkets, bookstores, and children’s stores, as well as at gas stations.

To choose a high-quality product, the traffic police advised us to photograph it with a flash.

“If the image is ‘illuminated’, then the material is of high quality,” the department explained, adding that the area of the retro-reflector should be at least 25 square centimeters.

The greatest safety at dusk and night for pedestrians will provide a special reflective vest. The larger the retro-reflector, the more likely it is that the driver will notice it.

Follow the rules of the road

On the edge of the roadway, pedestrians are required to move towards transport, the traffic police recalled. It’s easier to control everything that happens on the road. When approaching the car, it is recommended to slightly step aside, especially at this moment two cars are moving apart.

You can only walk along the sidelines of country roads. Walking on motorways is prohibited by law.

Invisible Pedestrian

A man in black clothes is invisible in the dark, while yellow and white clothes are visible even at night at a distance of 24-37 meters. The presence of a retro-reflective element will make the pedestrian visible to the driver for 200 meters, and in the high beam headlights – for 350 meters.

The traffic police reminded that in a critical situation, the car will not stop instantly. The braking distance on a dry road is 20 meters, on wet asphalt – 35, on packed snow – 70 meters.

In May, in the Ozyorsk district, a 15-year-old teenager was hit by a car to death. A schoolboy was walking along the side of the road towards Mayakovskoye village.

What should a reflective vest look like, where to buy and how much does it cost

Already on Sunday, March 18, 2018, changes to the rules of the road will come into force. Drivers will be required to wear reflective vests when they are forced to stop outside settlements. We tell you how the vest should look and how much it costs.

When should a driver wear a vest?

According to the rules, the driver must wear a vest if the car makes a stop outside the village.

Also, a vest is necessary if an emergency stop is made as a result of an accident and the driver is forced to leave the car.

Also, a special vest must be provided if a stop on the track is made for any reason in the dark or poor visibility.

Why do I need a reflective vest?

The driver’s signal vest will be visible on the roadway for other road users. This reduces the risk of accidents.

The fact is that, for example, at night, or during heavy fog, you can hardly see a person on the roadway. And cases when a driver who made an emergency stop was hit by cars coming by, alas, not uncommon.

How many stripes should be on a signal vest?

Only three types of vests are acceptable, subject to the indentation of strips from the edges of the vest and each other:

Two horizontal reflective stripes and two vertical from the upper horizontal through the shoulders;

One horizontal stripe and two vertical from it through the shoulders;

Two horizontal stripes without any others.

4.Vest specifications

The vest for drivers is made of 100% PE orange or lemon.

The lower edge of the lower strip on the torso should be located at a distance of at least 50 mm from the bottom of the product.

Jackets, vests, and wraps can have two horizontal strips of retro-reflective material around the torso at a distance of at least 50 mm from each other. The lower edge of the lower strip on the torso should be located at a distance of at least 50 mm from the lower edge of the jacket, vest or cape vest (if necessary).

The wrap vest should be designed in such a way that in all product sizes, the lateral gap between the materials is not more than 50 mm.

How much does such a vest cost in Barnaul?

The cost of a vest will be from 150 rubles to 350. The price depends on the size and store.

Where to buy such a vest in Barnaul?

You can buy a reflective vest in the car shop or a special department for car owners in shopping centers.

You can also order a vest online. The cost of online stores starts at 100 rubles.

If there is no vest, will the driver be fined?

No, for the time being, a fine for violating this rule is not provided for now. The inclusion of a new paragraph in the SDA is made to draw the attention of car owners to their safety. But, according to experts, fines may soon be introduced.

Lifehack on the “winter” ride

The next advice to motorists was given by the commander of the Budennovsky company of traffic police.

The Stavropol Territorial Administration of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate continues to publish videos with useful tips from the heads of departments of the traffic police.

The first video from the series “Lifehack from the Head of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate” was presented by the Chief State Inspector of Road Safety of Stavropol Aleksey Safonov.

The next batch of useful tips was given by the commander of a separate company of traffic police in the Budyonnovsky district, Alexei Krets. His life hack will help drivers prepare for the trip and equip the car for driving in winter conditions.

The police major recalled that before the trip you need to believe how much the car is filled up. It is necessary to take an additional tank with an “ice-free”, a warning triangle, a brush and a scraper with you on the road. Also, a reflective vest, a can of defrosting liquid, a tool kit and a car charger for your phone will always come in handy on the road to always stay in touch. A small bag of sand and salt will not interfere with drivers in the winter, so as not to get stuck on a slippery road. Before traveling, the inspector recommends checking the brake system and steering, the heating system and the wipers. Also, it is imperative to check whether the lights of the car are working. And, of course, the traffic police categorically do not advise to drive while tired or feeling unwell. These recommendations will appear on social networks and the pages of other resources on the Internet.

The videos from the series “Lifehacks from the Head of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate” are published every 10 days, specified in the Office of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Stavropol Territory.

How to safely ride a bike after dark? 10 equipment tips

Bicycles must be equipped with one white or yellow front light with continuous or flashing light. It can be a lamp for batteries, accumulators or a dynamo.

Another important element of the two-wheeler is the reflective red rear light, which must be installed throughout the year regardless of the time of day or year.

Each bicycle should have at least one rear light with a continuous or flashing light. This lamp must be turned on only in the evening or at night.

At least one functional brake is the equipment required to travel on the road.

A bell or other warning signal will always be useful.

Also, the bicycle may (but does not have to) be fitted with reflectors on the pedals (yellow).

Another additional accessory may be white reflective light on the front of the bicycle.

We can also mount any number of yellow reflectors on the wheels (at least one on each wheel).

It also doesn’t hurt to mount the reflective tapeon the tire, wheels or other parts of the bicycle.

If we want to be visible after dark, we should get a reflective vestthat can save our lives in situations when we travel at night out of town.

Road safety: Inflatable vest for motorcyclists

A vest that inflates to help protect motorcycle riders in high impact crashes could become a standing piece of equipment for those riding on Northland roads.

The vests fit over the normal riding gear and a simple elastic-nylon tether connects the bike to a gas cartridge mounted in the front of the vest.

When the rider falls off the bike, a steel ball is pulled away from the housing that holds the gas cartridge, inflating the vest and protecting the rider’s neck, back, and chest.

The reflective vest will inflate in 0.1 of a second.

Keen rider Heidi Millard, IT project manager with Whangārei District Council, commutes to work every day from Maunu. She won a Helite vest at the Get Ready To Ride event in Whangārei, in September as part of Motorcycle Awareness Month.

While it is yet to be given the ultimate test she wishes she had it when she was involved in a rush-hour crash on the Auckland motorway when a driver decided to do a u-turn in front of her.

Millard slammed into the rear tire of a car when the driver of a car did a u-turn on the four-lane motorway.

She had no time to react; fortunately, her bike suffered more damage than she did.

“He did a turn across all four lanes. I hit my brakes but ended up hitting his rear wheel and coming off. The first thing I thought was someone was going to run me over”.

Wearing the new vest she said gave her a feeling of having a bit more protection if things did go wrong.

A Sergeant with Northland police Highway Patrol, Lance Goulsbro, is also a motorcycle trainer and was presented with a vest by Gillian Archer of RoadSafe Northland.

Goulsbro said the vest should become a part of any rider’s kit and while it was an extra cost, it could save a rider’s life.

“This blows up like airbags in a car and protects all your internal organs. It gives you a better chance of surviving a crash.”

Archer also encouraged riders to invest in the new piece of safety equipment.

“You can’t put a price on getting home after a ride,” Archer said.

Test ad suggesting Edmonton pedestrians wear reflective tape

Suggestions from the City of Edmonton that pedestrians should wear reflective tape to avoid collisions with vehicles as the daylight hours diminish are being met with a bit of backlash.

Will Edmonton adopt “Vision Zero”?

As part of its annual “Heads Up” campaign, the City of Edmonton put out a test ad to the Edmonton Insight Community that urges pedestrians to wear reflective material or attach reflectors to themselves to avoid being struck by a vehicle.

While the ad hasn’t been rolled out on the streets of Edmonton yet, some have shared the poster on social media. It shows a pedestrian wearing reflective tape and another carrying a flashlight. The same tips can also be found on the city’s website.

“When drivers are watching for headlights, wearing a strip of reflective material or a reflector can save your life,” the city’s website reads.

The test ad is part of the City of Edmonton’s “Vision Zero” campaign, a global initiative adopted by the city that aims to have zero fatalities and serious injuries on city streets.

Troy Pavlek, a local software developer who plans to run for Ward 11 councilor in the next municipal election, said the campaign goes against everything Vision Zero hopes to achieve.

“The big problem with this campaign is it continues a sort of trend the city has put forward where the onus seems to be on the pedestrian to modify their behavior to stay safe on the streets and that is not Vision Zero,” Pavlek said.

“When we’re saying it’s behaviors that need to be modified here, that’s the problem.”

The council hopeful said Vision Zero seeks to have the traffic system change to accommodate user behaviors, not the other way around. Pavlek believes the city should do more to make traffic infrastructure safer for pedestrians and drivers.

“Lighting crosswalks, putting more pedestrian crossing lights,” he said. “Extending curbs wherever pedestrians are frequently crossing is both a cheap and very effective way at signaling to pedestrians that: ‘this is a safe and convenient place to cross,’ as well as to drivers: ‘the road narrows here so you need to slow down. ‘ ”

According to the city, a pedestrian who wears dark clothing in the dark is not visible to drivers until they are 36 meters away from the vehicle.

“No matter who is at fault, a human body is no match for a vehicle. Pedestrians have only a 10 percent chance of surviving if the vehicle that strikes them is traveling over 50 km / h, “the city’s website reads.

A spokesperson with the city said pedestrians and drivers share responsibility when it comes to preventing collisions and it was not the intention of the test ad to place blame. While changes to infrastructure are in the works, Gary Dyck with the city’s Transportation Department said change doesn’t happen overnight.

“As you might guess, changing infrastructure takes time whereas daylight is decreasing now. So if we can tell pedestrians, drivers, to look out for each other now, we might save a life, “Dyck said.

“When it comes to a collision between a pedestrian and a car, a pedestrian always loses. So it doesn’t matter whose fault it is, the pedestrian loses. So if we can remind drivers to look out for pedestrians and pedestrians to be as visible as possible, we can save lives. ”

Pavlek maintains the initiative will discourage people from walking, which he said: “flies in the face” of what the cities messaging is supposed to be.

“We’re supposed to be prioritizing active modes of transportation – walking, cycling, taking public transportation – and instead, this puts pedestrians on the same level of responsibility as cars for managing their safety,” he said.

“It makes walking something that a pedestrian has to plan to do,” he continued. “When we make it more inconvenient for people to walk places by saying, ‘if you don’t wear reflective tape or reflective vest you’re insignificant danger’ that is going to make everyone less safe because we will get fewer people walking.”

Pavlek said it’s time to stop playing the blame game and instead, rally the city for a change.

“We need to stop blaming pedestrians, stop blaming drivers and start encouraging people to work together and encourage better design,” he said.

Reflective vests are designed to protect pedestrians

Without reflective waistcoat or tape either to the store or to the neighbor. This may look like this year in Slovak villages and towns. In an amendment to the Road Act, the Ministry of the Interior suggests that pedestrians walking along the road should wear safety features in poor visibility if they do not walk on the sidewalk. Today they need to have reflective fabrics on their clothes only when they are outside the village.

With this measure, the Ministry wants to prevent traffic accidents, which usually end to the detriment of pedestrians. Out of the 442 accidents, last year caused by pedestrians, up to 384 has occurred in the village. If they do not have them, they can be fined 60 euros.

“I consider it stupid. In my opinion, it would be sufficient if only cyclists were to have a reflective sign. I cannot imagine that I should always wear such a vest. And there is also a financial factor. In our country, there are ten-member households who live in poor social conditions. I can’t imagine buying a reflective vest for everyone in the family,” says Silvia Juhászová, a 33-year-old resident of Camoviec in the Lučenec district.

Thirty-seven-year-old Fiľakovcan Tomas Csík understands the effort to protect pedestrians but does not agree with fines if they do not have reflective elements. “In the evening I use to walk a few meters to the neighbors. I am careful about cars. When any goes, I step aside to keep my eyes off. I cannot agree with the draft of such a law,” added 64-year-old Jan Hornan from Trebeľovce near Lucenec.

The mayor of Liptovsky Jan Juraj Filo cannot imagine how he explains the new duty to tourists. The village is visited annually by about 500 thousand. “If a foreign visitor gets such a fine for something, he won’t come anymore,” says Filo. The mayor of Strba, Michal Sykora, says there is no need to worry about the reflective elements. “I also try to explain to young people that it is not just a reflective vest, and these reflective elements can also look modern.”

The ministry points out that stricter rules for pedestrians have necessitated a negative trend in the number of accidents in which the most vulnerable road users die or suffer serious injuries. Last year, according to police statistics, 15 people were killed on roads, two of them children. “Pedestrians caused a total of 442 traffic accidents last year, of which 384 were in the village,” police spokeswoman Denisa Balogh said.

On the side of stricter regulations is also inclined to traffic analyst Jozef Drahovský, according to which drivers do not have many possibilities to deal with unmarked pedestrians or cyclists. “They only have to anticipate and think that there may be someone on the road,” he says, not even street lighting helps in dense fogs.

Marian Cabák from the School of Safe Driving says that people are often reluctant to invest even a few euros in reflective things unless they are explicitly ordered to do so. The price for a reflective vest with reflective material ranges from three euros upwards. Similarly, there are other elements, as the law permits them. They can also be reflective belts on the sleeve, smileys on school bags or various other iron-on transfers.

If the proposed amendment passed, the mandatory labeling in the municipality would become the same offense as the non-marking of a pedestrian outside the municipality today. This is subject to a fine of up to EUR 60.

Slovakia is not the only country trying to protect pedestrians with protective features. Czech transport police chief Tomas Lerch said last week that he wanted to create a discussion on mandatory reflective elements for all who would go out at night. He also wants to find a compromise whether it should be in the village, outside or everywhere.

Going on a bike tour? We will advise you what to take with you and where to go

Summer and autumn are ideal times for getting to know your surroundings from the bike saddle. If you like active relaxation, cycling may be the right thing for you. You are just starting on a bike and do not know what you can see on the way? Or have you covered thousands of kilometers and are you looking for inspiration for interesting routes? Let’s try to give you some tips.

First of all, it is necessary to check the technical condition of your bike. If you don’t dare to check it yourself, for a few euros they will take care of its complete inspection at every cycle service.

Being easily visible is essential

In the event of poor visibility, it is important to wear some reflective material elements, whether classic reflectors on a bicycle or reflective fabrics on clothing. If the reflective vest is unacceptable to you, you can also choose from less noticeable reflective bands. You can attach them to your shoulder or backpack. Varied is also the offer of clothing with reflective surfaces.

If you are unsure whether you come back in the light, make sure you have enough lighting. A flashing light at the back and a small front lamp on the bike should be a matter of course.

Prepare for minor repairs

When cycling, many things can go wrong on the bike. You need some tools for minor repairs. Where to put it? There are small seat bags on the market, often sold filled with basic tools. The second option is slightly larger pockets for the bicycle frame. But many people love the backpack. If you do not mind the load on your back and suffer sweating, this is the ideal option. In addition to the tools, you can comfortably carry water, food or spare clothes.

What specifically should you take with you? The most common failure on the bicycle is a puncture. Do not forget the mounting levers, mini pump, and spare tube. Before driving, check that it is OK. A defect bonding kit is also used. Whether you prefer it or the soul is up to you, you can wear both for sure. Many problems are solved by a set of hexagonal hex keys. It is unnecessary to wear them all, so try those you may need and wear only those. To adjust the derailleur after an unpleasant fall, you will appreciate a flat-blade screwdriver;

Clothing will make your experience pleasant

It is also important to dress properly. You’ll hate old cotton t-shirts after a few kilometers. Sweaty gain, not only weight but also a significant aromatic trace. And probably nobody wants people to look for him because of the smell. Cycling t-shirts are made of modern materials that wick sweat away from the body well, while not keeping it as cotton. If you choose such a shirt, it is good if its fibers are enriched with elements of silver. This prevents the smell from spreading, otherwise, this shirt smells even more cotton. The advantage of these T-shirts is also good ventilation, which often has a zipper to regulate the air supply. Also on your back, you will find pockets in which you can put not only a bottle but also other small items.

But most important are pants. First of all, look at the pad. Rather, invest more in quality than you should curse a piece of cheap foam between you and the saddle after a few kilometers. On the bike you can do with classic sneakers, if you think more serious, reach for the third. You can choose from hiking to hardsports, the decision is yours.

We take the cycling helmet as a matter of course. You will also enjoy gloves and goggles.

What to pack with me?

You don’t need much for a day trip. If your route leads through places where you can buy supplies, all you need is your wallet and water. Especially in these heats, it is important to maintain a regular drinking regime. A variety of ionic drinks are available, which you can buy at many cycling or nutritional supplement stores. They are useful as the prevention of cramps and can also increase your performance. Various energy bars and gels are very good. Even if you are not a top athlete, they will certainly make your tour easier. It is good to have something else with you. It is important to carry with you more supplies than to stay hungry and thirsty somewhere in the forest. Take a light jacket for longer hikes and in variable weather conditions. Leave the raincoat at home, the bike will sweat and the body will not breathe through the plastic.

Everything ready, we can go

So where to go? Slovakia is rich in various cycling routes, you will find some in every corner of it. Let’s introduce you to just a few of the best-known sites. Surroundings of the capital wish mainly road cyclists. You will find many well-maintained cycle routes. You can take the Danube Bicycle Road to Hainburg, Austria. With better fitness is also an interesting trip to Lake Neusiedl.

Central Slovakia is represented by terrains around Banská Štiavnica. Not too long climbs, but some quite steep perfectly test your fitness. By bike, you can get to know the mining history of this town and the surrounding mysteries. The north of Slovakia and the surroundings of Zilina are also attractive. You can enjoy less demanding cycling in the picturesque villages of Orava such as Terchová or Čičmany. Mountain bikes can be used in the valleys of the Great and Small Fatra.

You may also be interested in: Are you going to buy a new bike? Do not forget these things!

Eastern Slovakia also offers many opportunities, Strážovské Hills and Ondavská Highlands are suitable for fans of mountain biking. Less demanding will certainly appreciate the routes around Domaš, Prešov or Levoča. Low Tatras are also popular. The highest marked cycling route leads to the top of Kráľova hole. However, it is not suitable for road bikes, because the lower part leads along a forest road and driving on thin tubular tubes, especially downwards, will probably suffer. Nice and interesting routes can also be found in the High Tatras. Well-known are the Popradské Pleso and Silesian House. The pearl is the route to the cottage at the Green Ball. But we warn the less experienced to be careful. Especially in the last part, there are many really big stones on the pavement. So if you regularly drive along wide forest roads to your apartment and feel like a good mountain biker, this is the perfect chance to test your skills. We recommend a full suspension bike and a lot of experience so that this tour does not become a cake for you.

Do not overestimate your strength

That is the basic rule, especially in the case of severe heat. Plenty of fluid and common sense. Remember, it’s not a shame to get out of the bike, sit in the shade and relax in peace. You don’t have to break records and chase with the younger ones. Cycling is about enjoying nature, having a pleasant conversation with friends and strengthening your health. Not to destroy it. So find your hobby in it and she will reward you. It lets you identify places that would otherwise be hidden from you.

Obligatory equipment of car 2019

Mandatory car equipment is a frequent feature that police investigate during roadside checks. For many drivers, it used to be a scarecrow, but from 1 October 2018, however, the compulsory equipment in many cases has been simplified. So what is mandatory in 2019 to carry with you and what is no longer necessary?

For 2019, the compulsory equipment of the car consists of a reflective vest, a warning triangle, and a first-aid kit. Conversely, a set of fuses and spare bulbs is no longer mandatory. The amendment of the Decree on Approval of Technical Capability and Technical Conditions of Operation of Vehicles on Roads. Thus reflects the technical achievements of 21st-century cars. After all, in times of xenon and diode headlamps, the driver does not change his bulb anyway.

In this context, the simplified obligation to carry a spare wheel and replacement kit must also be mentioned. If the car is equipped with so-called run-flat tires (such as run-flat) allowing for puncture indication and emergency landing, the spare wheel is not mandatory.

The reserve does not have to be carried even by those drivers who, thanks to the assistance service, have secured the replacement or repair of a damaged tire continuously throughout the Czech Republic. An alternative to a spare wheel is the tire repair kit.

However, if you do not meet any of these requirements, you must continue to carry a spare wheel (tire rim), including a wheel nut wrench and a hand lift with sufficient load capacity.

As far as the medicine chest is concerned, from October 2018 it does not have to be a three-pointed scarf, a patch with a cushion and a plastic mask. Similarly, there is an obligation to change the first aid kit because of the end of expiration. However, if you use any of the elements, you must, of course, add it.

And what is compulsory in the first aid kit? It consists of the following seven elements: one-pad finished bandage, two-pad finished bandage, smooth reel patch, rubber throttle bandage, rubber latex gloves, scissors, and isothermal foil, at least 200 x 140 centimeters.

When traveling abroad, it is not a matter of seeing the mandatory equipment in that country. Yes, while the Vienna Convention of 1968 applies that the vehicle should be equipped according to the country in which it is registered, but its enforceability is sometimes problematic. While local police officers have to take into account the fact that in the Czech Republic mandatory equipment may differ from the country, but the duplication of laws often complicates the situation. For example, when it is the duty to put on a reflective vest when getting out of a vehicle on a motorway – the Vienna Convention no longer applies.

Therefore, when traveling abroad, we recommend carrying a tow rope or reflective vest for all crew members (not only for the driver), which should also be within reach, so they should be located in the cabin and not at the bottom of the baggage. In Bulgaria or Poland, it is mandatory to carry a fire extinguisher with you, in France an alcohol tester. In winter, pay attention to the local obligation of winter tires.

Mandatory equipment in 2019

In the fall of last year, the Ministry of Transport amended the regulations on mandatory car equipment to better reflect modern times. From October 1, 2018, you no longer need to carry a set of spare bulbs. Likewise, a set of fuses disappears from the mandatory equipment. The responsible motorist can, of course, carry at least the basic bulbs and fuses. He just won’t get fined for not having them in the car.

The prescription for the first aid kit has also changed. Newly enough is a first aid kit without a three-pointed scarf, drape or patch with a pillow. And it will no longer need to be changed for expiration. So if you have an older type of medicine chest, it’s okay. Only the equipment of the first-aid kit must be changed. The ministry originally wanted to ‘throw’ the scissors out of the medicine chest, but they remained.

In brief info, the Ministry of Transport explained what is mandatory from 1 October 2018:

The amendment to the Decree on Approval of Technical Capability and Technical Conditions of Operation of Vehicles on Roads (No. 341/2014 Coll.) It also simplifies and specifies the obligation to carry a spare wheel in the car and equipment necessary for its replacement, such as a hand lift.

“Vehicles with spare tires do not need to carry the spare wheel and at the same time indicate a puncture. Vehicles may also have a means for removing the damaged tire instead of a spare. The third exception is vehicles that have an assistance service, which provides replacement or repair of damaged tires continuously throughout the Czech Republic,” said the Ministry of Transport.

Only the reflective vest and the warning triangle remain unchanged. Of course, you still have to carry the medicine chest, only its mandatory composition changes and the conditions for its validity have been modified. The spare wheel or full-fledged wheel (and wheel wrench and jack) must then continue to be carried by all those who do not have a puncture assistance service or have a vehicle that does not have run-flat tires. Likewise, even if you have assistance, of course, you can carry the reserve. Let everybody consider it himself, whether he wants to wait for the tow, or he can change his bike in ten minutes.

A tip at the end: A powerful LED flashlight can fit your car’s equipment. If there is a problem with the car in the middle of the night, a flashlight with higher luminous flux will be useful. The torches are compact, lightweight, and unlike mobile phones, it is easier to put them and point them in the right place while you are replacing a punctured wheel.
