Children will be safer with lighting

City guards in safety vest want to improve the safety of children on the road. They started the glare deal. During meetings with children the guards talk about safety rules and explain to them what dangers lay ahead.

 

– Some of the schools are located in villages, especially there can be dangerous situations, says Andre, city commandant. – This is to improve safety. We conduct mainly in primary school. City guards in reflective uniform also meet with preschoolers.

 

All kindergartens from the municipality have also received reflective vests for the toddlers. “This will make the preschoolers’ walks more secure,” adds Korma.

Wear a vest, helmet and lace does not matter

269 bikers rode with mounted distance measuring devices. Some of them rode in their daily clothes, others used traditional bodywork, and others dressed in a helmet or safety vest. The results of the experiment can be shocking – only one piece of clothing improves the safety of a cyclist (more specifically, it does not matter what distance the cars are ahead of us). This is a vest with the words “police”.

 

In measurements taken by universities in Bath and Brunner, the average distance between the cyclist and the car ahead of him was 117 centimeters – regardless of what the cyclist was wearing. Also regardless of the dress, 1-2% of drivers overtook cyclists without keeping a safe distance and driving only 50cm from them.

 

It has been further research showing that reflective vests, reflectors and other special clothing may improve the well-being of cyclists and drivers and allow more visible (though doubtful) conditions, but this in no way translates into a safer distance between the car and the cyclist.

If you want to increase your visibility and safety, the researchers suggest wearing a “police” vest (or “police”, because the study was done in the UK). These actually have a positive effect on the behavior of the drivers. The study showed that the police waistcoat increased the average distance between the bike and the car ahead of it by 122cm, or 5cm.

 

Unfortunately, the use of vests with the inscription Police by civilians is illegal in Poland. On the websites you can find a vest with the words “Poland”, “Police” or “I am from the Police” (“I’m from” written in a very small font), which from a distance imitatively imitate the high visibility vests used by our brave uniforms.

 

Regardless of how we dress on the bike, it is important to remember that dressing is much more important than how we behave on the road.

Students in the “Reflective School”

Primary School for Stefan Cardinal again takes part in the competition “Reflective School“.

You are reading restricted access to the free articles of the Polish Journal 129 students of this educational institution listened with interest to the talk of asp. Jack from the Police Station is on the safe movement on the way to the school. A traffic knowledge contest was also organized. It’s already the seventh edition of the competition.

 

“Our school not only teaches, but also cares for the safety of its pupils,” says Bernadette Kansa.

– This year’s project started in September. We organized, among others. I’m safe “. In 2011, our school won the 1st place in the district in this contest.

 

“We decided to fight again, and hopefully it will be a rich experience again,” adds Kathryn and Lucia, teachers of early school education. 140 reflective vests have already hit pupils and preschoolers. The project’s completion is scheduled for October 28th. There will be prizes, and each student will receive a reflective stamp.

 

Guide patrons to make safety and fashion

Supporting the creators of a system for producing tailor-made jeans with reflective strips, the editors of a new fashion magazine, or the designers of an androgynous clothing collection are three examples of the projects you can wager on Kick starter, a platform for Make patrons and go shopping that is experiencing a great boom.

 

Fashion and innovation are two concepts that often walk together. That is why it is not surprising that a web that rewards originality is frequented by fans and professionals to hunt trends. In addition, betting on crowd funding also means saying yes to a financing system that turns its back on banks. Something that has a lot of pull if we consider the popularity they have enjoyed since Lehman Brothers and company panicked the world.

 

In essence Kick starter’s operation is extremely simple: you propose an idea that you want to finance (there are exceptions), the amount of money needed to put it into practice, explain what your patrons will get in return based on your donations and make a presentation of Your project as clear and beautiful as possible. You should keep in mind that Kick starter is in the United States, although there are ways to present a project from Spain.

 

Whether seeking to make a donation selflessly or to purchase a reflective product that has fascinated the procedure is simple. You only need to use your Facebook account to sign up for Kick starter and also have one on Amazon to make payments. That’s enough to start looking for projects that interest you.

 

You can bet on those who have already obtained the funding they are looking for and are raising funds or not. In the latter case if the project at the end of 90 days has failed to raise enough money, you have the money that you have contributed. You should also keep in mind if you want to get a product that the project managers send out of the United States. Something that happens in many cases adding a supplement to the amount requested.

 

Keep in mind, however, that Kick starter does not offer guarantees on the projects it hosts. Some have ended in fiasco after achieving the amount that was marked as goal. But you do not have to be too scared. It is not often that happens. In any case if you have doubts you can always ask the promoter directly anything before making any donation. It may also be well to goggling a bit to gather information on those submitting the projects if you are going to make a large donation.

 

Here are three examples of fashion proposals that have not yet achieved the quantity that have been marked and that allow shipments to Spain. Reflective clothing is good for riding or skating. If you are horrified by the typical reflective vests you can try to get one of the T-shirts from the Fix project. They are ideal to make yourself visible while riding on bikes or skates. As its design is attractive you can also wear them for the day. You have less than 10 days to support the proposal and for 55 dollars to get a shirt (with shipping costs to Spain included).

 

Some of the projects are very reminiscent of the teleshopping ads. That is at least what we have suggested stockings with socks built to wear Boo tights high boots. You can get a pair of them for $ 25 plus the 5 that costs shipping to Spain. Although, yes, at the moment does not go very well. They have only risen just over $ 3,000 and have to reach 25,000 by August 23rd.

 

Who does not work shall not eat

Senator Zeeman has on her new billboard slogan “He who does not work shall not eat.” According to critics, in terms of populism and assault is not only on people who do not want to work, but also to those who, for example, for medical reasons, cannot.

 

Who does not work shall not eat. Quote that hidden pages of the Bible, and who was a popular slogan Communist government under the previous regime, now revived Senator and Zeeman (ODS).

 

Billboard with the slogan lines Plucky Street in Jawbone. Next to Clean-up rake is Zeeman snow clad in orange reflective vests. According to some NGOs and political scientist is motto “who does not work shall not eat” smacks of populism and generalization.

 

“Everyone is after all possible that they lose their job, you may have a problem that it impossible for him to work. Yes, there is a certain group of people who want to work, but then there’s a much larger group that wants and we would rather be interested such steps to help get them back to life, society, and not to condemn similar statements, “he said Lukas Rocha.

He said that it is very easy to transfer the problem to a group that cannot defend themselves. “Unfortunately, there are people who hear the password, and politicians know that they can ensure that their votes in the elections,” he added Rocha.

 

Katarina, which is the site coordinator Faktus.info, which among other things monitors statements by politicians on similar topics, is convinced that such a password is generalizing. “Does this mean that a mother on maternity leave, pensioners, disabled and does not work because we do not eat it?”

 

“This password only increases tensions in coexistence between the majority and the minority, which is already problematic. Apparently it is targeted at a particular group of people of a particular ethnic group, people whom politicians today talk about a maladjusted. But even for them, after all, the same laws as the majority society and social benefits are the same way as we do, “added Ropak wear safety vest.

 

According to her, there are always similar statements before the election and especially in certain regions such as the north of Bohemia and Moravia. “Politicians know that this is a topic that can bring them political points,” said Ropak.

 

“It’s a kind of populism. It is certain folk wisdom. He turns to the people and tells them that those who contribute to the joint work, and does not deserve any reward to be a member of our society. Once, this motto made famous by Anton a former union boss, “said Broil.

 

“I would not do it but of great science, and I do not attach greater importance,” said the political scientist.

“Today the market is so busy that it can work even one who does not. Perhaps by attacking critics for a group of people who do not want to work, but I do not care. But I have no constitutional obligation to feed people who do not want to do. Let them live on their own and do not annoy those who walk to work properly, “said Zeeman.

 

“She’s been gone some time before seven years ago, when some regions crashed in a factory and did not work. Today there are jobs for two or three hundred thousand people, “said Zeeman.

 

Senator presenter laws on public service, the collection centers and the benefits for housing. “Social benefits essentially corrupting an entire generation of people who do not want to go to work. Children see that Dad is rolling at home mom. So decode ninth grade and then what would bother. Twenty, thirty hours a month to work in public service is not so bad after all, and those people will develop some social habits, “says Zeeman in high visibility vest.

A safety vest in the vehicle cabin for holiday

How to make a foreign holiday on your own axis as easily as possible?

According to the Tourist Survey conducted by the Czech Statistical Office, in 2016 our citizens aged 15 and over made 5,552,000 private foreign tours. Longer journeys (at least four nights) were 4,276,000, shorter (with one to three overnight stays) and 1,276,000. On longer journeys, they traveled 48 percent in a passenger car or motorcycle, 14 percent on a bus. Shorter journeys went even on 78% of cases; another 12% opted for a bus.

 

Even this summer, millions of Czechs will go on their own route to spend at least part of their holiday on a foreign destination. What to do to make the journey and stay as smooth as possible without major complications? We recommend that you pay attention to the following areas:

 

Technical condition of the vehicle

In addition to checking the vehicle’s technical condition, it is also necessary to remember the check of its mandatory equipment and its possible addition to the country in which we are heading. We also remember a sufficient number of safety vests. At least one vest (here for the driver) is placed in the vehicle cabin.

 

What about you

After all, it is not bad to write down at least two days before departure what we have to take with ourselves for a holiday – we need medicines, we also check the validity of personal documents or driving license.

 

Baggage and their storage

Vehicle space options are limited as well as its load capacity. Therefore, it is good to take the holidays with what is needed. “We will store the luggage of the largest and heaviest bag at the bottom of the luggage compartment. On the contrary, by the hand, we should have everything that we will necessarily need on the way. And also – to be sure – a warning triangle, first aid kit and reflective vests for the passengers, “says Roman from the Road Safety Team.

 

Do not forget about important documents

Do not forget what? Traveling to the EU is sufficient for a valid ID; the driver must have a valid driving license. We will not forget the health insurance card and any insurance of the costs of medical care. And we will also take a green card and a Euro form record of a traffic accident. It is definitely worth checking if we have the current telephone connection to our health insurance company and to the insurance company with which we have insured our motor vehicle. It is also a good idea to make clear what we are entitled to from a motor insurance policy – for example, free assistance in the event of a breakdown or extraction in the event of an accident. In case of a serious complication, it is good to have a telephone number of the Czech embassy in the respective country.

 

The driver must be fit

The driver must be fit. It is up to him how safe and pleasant the journey is for the co-attackers. Before the ride he should have enough rest. And while driving, remember the regular breaks. Let’s say every two and a half hours do not harm the rest for twenty minutes. Beware of fatigue. Its effect is similar to that of alcohol. The heavily tired driver is just as dangerous as the one who just drank two hard alcohol booties. The likelihood of a fatal accident is increased 7 times. “Fatigue is responsible for up to 10 percent of all road accidents, and motorways are up to 20 percent. The most dangerous is the period from midnight to 4pm. However, it is less known that we may be surprised by the fatigue even during the day – most often between the second and the fourth afternoon, “warns Roman. If it’s a little bit possible, it’s good to rotate for longer rides.

 

Travel must be safe and relaxing

Even the journey to the desired destination and it is part of our holiday. So why not really enjoy it? For all, it should be safe and comfortable. Co-workers should remember that it is the driver in whose hands they live and their health. And drivers in reflective uniforms should choose a style of driving so that others in the car are not only afraid, but they feel comfortable. “In any case, it is good to expect the possibility of a jam in a traffic jam. That’s why it’s good to have enough fuel in the tank, something to eat in the cabin, and plenty of drinks. Any manifestations of aggression can only make the situation worse, “concludes Roman.

Reflective material spray that illuminates cyclists

Volvo has invented a spray that illuminates things and people when they are lit by a car’s headlights. It’s a life-saving solution to road accidents.

 

Often you happen to make accidents or avoid them for a while because in the street, at night, there are cyclists; people walking or racing that are not very visible. There are many people use reflective vests and spotlights, but not everyone follow these basic rules.

 

Volvo Life Paint

Life Paint comes to the rescue of road users, a “magic” spray developed by Volvo engineers who, when sprayed on clothes or other items (boot, bike, etc.), makes them immediately visible as soon as the light of the A car’s headlights hit them.

 

The spray is contained in a small aluminum can and does not require special instructions or special application methods; just pin it and sprinkle it. Everything that strikes becomes instantly a reflective surface. The spray is clear and invisible in daylight, but at night it lights up when hit by a light beam.

 

As written, it could be of great help to those who move on the streets in the evenings or at night with means that are not a car. The paint works best on fabrics, and it is likely that it lasts longer if applied to a backpack rather than on the bicycle frame.

 

Volvo says the spray is special because reflective particles are bonded together with a glue to create gloss. The spray, however, is not permanent. It is based on water and after a week of “normal use” degrades – without counting the action of any rain or snow. At the moment, Life Paint is only sold in the United Kingdom at 13 pounds, or about 15 Euros.

Police officers handed out their safety vests

On Saturday, from the early hours of the morning, policemen from the Police Headquarters carried out activities known as “My Safety”. The nationwide campaign is aimed at improving the safety of cyclists by wearing safety vest.

During today’s meetings with residents, traffic policemen and the district have been reminded of traffic safety rules and cyclists may have received reflective elements, says Beta, police officer in Tarn bug. – The officers were at two points in Tarn bug, in the area of the bazaar at Kuwaiti Street and at the bus station.

The main objective of the action was to improve the safety of cyclists as unprotected road users but also to discipline cyclists and drivers of vehicles and pedestrians who violate road traffic laws. Prevention activities were of great interest – policemen responded to numerous questions from cyclists who had doubts about the interpretation of the rules governing two wheelers.

“Mundey reminded us of the safety of cycling and above all the obligation to comply with the rules. They pointed out the technical requirements that need to be fulfilled by a wheelchair, and the need to wear a helmet and reflective elements – adds Beta. At the end of the activities they gave the bikers the reflective vests provided by the Regional Road Traffic Center in Tarn bug. The most common offenses committed by bicyclists include: crossing a red light crossing, improper crossing of pedestrian crossings, improper overtaking, incorrect twisting, entering the pavement without using safety rules.

Security inspectors should wear reflective vests

On April 21, some of the 1,900 officers wear reflective vests of the City’s Prevention, Security and Protection Branch (DPSP) demonstrated in front of the Paris City Hall. For over a year, they have been demanding handguns.

Equipped with safety vests, tunas, riot-resistant tear-gas and handcuffs, these inspectors and technicians of public tranquility, approved by the public prosecutor – a status unique in France, in a city that does not count Municipal police “- they feel they are not in a position to ensure the safety of the Parisians (or theirs) and wish to have the same means as the police.

The City assured these agents must wear clothes with reflective material that reflection would be entrusted “to a senior manager of the City”. And the report of this reflection is planned “late September or early October”.

And are you in favor of the arming of the city’s security inspectors?
