Also in the parent-teacher conferences talked about this important subject.

 

The small Lara said that she always good care of the cars as they go by foot to school: “I always look first to the left and then to the right, because the cars are pretty fast approached”.

Pedestrians, beware! Reflective elements are mandatory

New requirement aims to improve pedestrian safety. Even very cheap solution is fine because pedestrians can save lives.

 

The long awaited obliged to wear under reduced visibility reflective material will come into effect this Saturday, February 20th. Under the amended law on road traffic will have to pedestrians wear reflective elements in reduced visibility when moving outside of the village on the shoulder or on the side of the road in a place that is not illuminated by public lighting.

 

Reflective elements for pedestrians will be required not only at night but also at night and in fog. Pedestrians do not have to wear reflective vests will be enough quality supplement of retro reflective material, distinctive color (e.g. Yellow, light green), which will be visible to other road users.

 

The Ministry of Transport recommends that pedestrians use reflective tape on the leg or arm toward the roadway. Ideally, such a belt was to appear at both extremities. These tapes can get in sporting goods stores or in traditional supermarkets, the price will be around 30 crowns.

 

Test sister magazine World engine proved that even with this low-cost solution pedestrian is much better than not seeing unlit. Transport Ministry adds that while the pedestrians dressed in black driver sees in the dark at a distance of only 18 meters, using the reflective element, it may no longer recognize the 200 meters. This gives the driver more time to react to pedestrians and avoid him.

 

The solution is also significant reflective tapes that are part of the clothing (or backpack bags).

Walkers reflective elements outside of the village do not wear dark, threatening to block the proceedings a fine of up to 2,000 crowns in administrative proceedings will pay 1.500 to 2.500 crowns. In cooperation with BESIP pedestrians will hand out free reflective belts and bags

We will advise you how to outwit the selection of autumn safety clothing

The days are shorter, the temperature drops and gone are the days where we jogging enough to wear shorts and T-shirt with reflective fabric. We advise you to keep your body warm and how to take care of when running for his safety.

 

The most important thing that you need at lower temperatures resolved is thermoregulation. It’s not easy, because when running large changes in the intensity of movement, so very often happens that after a few minutes you will find that you are either too hot or not too cold.

 

Rule plus ten degrees

In practice, it seems that at the moment when you go out the door, you will be a little cold, but after a few minutes, your body warms up and during a workout, so you will not have to change clothes.

Not always but hit clothes just right, and that’s why it is good to use a system of functional layers. Instead wore a light shirt and a warm jacket, rather reach for a long undershirt, the first layer, which will remove perspiration away from the body. This keeps the necessary body heat and perspiration while allowing for his journey out into the environment. If it is really cold outside or going to the bad weather, round off your outfit a third layer as a light jacket, which protects you from the rain or wind. The jacket should however be as light as possible, so good sweat while you’re under it from overheating.

 

Membrane clothes

Reliable weather protection guarantee membranes, of which the best known and most accessible are those of the brand Gore, therefore Windstopper and Gore-Tex. These two materials can be the same as all of the membrane divided into two types – a material resistant windproof, or against soaking. As the name suggests, Windstopper belongs to the first category and ensures protection against the wind. For the needs of the runner the membrane is more practical, because unlike waterproof Gore-Tex Windstopper has significantly better breathability (not under it so much sweat) and also this material can withstand a little water.

 

Besides the membranes at term sports we wear often encountered with a simpler and cheaper alternative in the form of a surface coating. Such modified outer layer does not reach such excellent parameters as membrane performance, but at a more affordable amount so you can get a reflective jacket, which, while not entirely suitable for running in extreme conditions, but the city should suffice. The big disadvantage of the coating, however, is its limited life, which decreases with every washing.

 

Be seen

Long gone are the days when the sun set at nine in the evening, because most runners managed to collect training kilometers at dusk, or just after dark. If while you run or bike paths along the roads, you should without proper lighting at all sprout from the house.

 

Shine a light on the road

The best way to let you know about yourself is the active illumination. Classics are headlamps which can shine beneath his feet, and as a bonus you any oncoming vehicle just overlooked. Each element of this significantly increases safety on busy roads.

 

Reflective elements

An alternative to the active illumination light is passive. Although it is not as effective as when warmth and blink all the colors, but in most cases it will meet it. When choosing a new piece of clothing for the autumn-winter running and make sure that the outer layers of richly covered with reflective elements on damage is not significant presence of neon colors. They are very popular today; it should not be a problem to choose from a wide range of most cross-country brands.

 

If you have a wardrobe full of black clothes and wants you to buy more just because of a few centimeters of reflective material, for example, you can reach after a cross-country reflective vests, which are made of very soft and breathable material in neon yellow color. Newly appearing on the market as well as iron-reflective tape, which you can tweak your current clothes.
