Awarded for antismog bikes with safety vest

At the end of the project, with the contribution of the Region and the support of the Municipality, 175 students of 12 classes of the Comprehensive Institute Puccini were awarded with safety vest in the afternoon of today. At the end of the school year, they took part in the project aimed at promoting the use of alternative means to the car to go to school, in particular the bike, or the possibility of going there on foot.

 

The project involved 7 schools in the city, equal to 60 classes for 1,500 students. All the people who participated were given a high visibility jacket to wear in the evening and at night when riding a bike. Two super prizes went to each class for the boy and girl who used the bike or walked to school for the number of days since the start of the project. In addition to each class was given the volume “Bicycles” published by Mop, an interesting photographic journey that immortalizes the use of the bike in Parma over time.

 

At each school that participated, then, two racks were given away. Paola from Parma took part in the award ceremony, as was Mobility Councilor Gabriele. “The goal – said Paola – is to have a city with fewer cars and more bikes, which means greater respect for the environment and us. The project has a transversal formative value and also involves issues related to road education, environmental education and the growth of students’ autonomy.”

 

“Thanks to your contribution – concluded the environment councilor Gabriele – it was possible to improve the air quality. The use of alternative means to private cars is an important tool for combating air pollution. I therefore thank the participants, the teachers, the school and Fib for promoting this worthy project to keep the road safety and children’s safety”.

 

 

 

 

Hunting safety: “It’s never too much!”

The topic of hunting safety is increasingly current. There are more risk even the hunters wear the safety vest. The market adapts itself and even the habits of the hunters declare war on the always-fearful “tragic fatalities.”

 

In recent years in the hunting world, a bizarre and paradoxical phenomenon is being observed: there are less and less “guns,” but increasingly crowded. As many new levers do not replace our old men and many hunters have been oriented, for pleasure or necessity, towards the hunted boar hunt. The cyclopean human agglomerates that condense around the black beast can exceed one hundred units, especially in the “jokes-event” of some fanatic-hunting companies. The word SAFETY rebounds from mouth to mouth from the megaphone of every self-respecting headgear to the last post.

 

At first, they were the reflective jackets, then more and more accessories, from the hat to the scarf. Now it is difficult to find on the market a garment that is not visible through the leaves and leaves, just for a hinge or an insert. The market has absorbed what the hunting world is trying to assimilate, overcoming the aversion for certain materials and colors that are not “wild.”

 

Who has not seen with surprise a post a kilometer away, thanks to his orange jacket that led to our conscience the existence of a person in flesh and blood wherever our eyes could ever see it? In addition, what catastrophic consequences have been thwarted when, with the finger already on the trigger, the orange on the dog or its driver dazzled us, where we expected rather the long-awaited wild boar?

 

Let us face it: the high-visibility technology for someone could also be not very “aesthetic” but it is definitely functional and sustainable. In this regard, not only clothing and buffets but also the same weapons are proposed by the gun industry with orange polymer stockings or with fluorescent inserts on the stock and the rod that guarantee total visibility.

 

The gun industry does not offer us only high visibility. Today we come to meet us offering weapons more reliable and distracting: it is an example of the “manual cocking lever Hand Cocking”, which allows with a simple gesture of thumb to disarm the springs of the dog making the weapon practically exhausted ( and not only with the trigger locked) in the movements in the spot. The “security” revolution has not spared even the precious auxiliaries: high-visibility garments protect them from the sharp defenses of wild boars and from the dangerous oversights in the thick of the bush. In addition, in this case, the orange inserts are not just an accessory but also a form of coherence on the articulated security discourse. Here we go again; the password for hunting cannot be another. Everything else (passion, fun, friendship) comes a little later. The bag is never empty when we bring home health and life!

 

High visibility vest mandatory on board

A government decree will oblige motorcyclists to bring along the already widespread reflective vest on cars and trucks starting from 1 January.

 

With the decree number 514/2015, last May 7, the French government introduced the obligation for all motorcyclists (including quad and three wheel pilots) to have on board a high visibility vest while they are driving.

 

Naturally, there is no obligation to wear it, even if the hi visibility clothing culture for safety reasons, especially in the city, is more common than in Italy. However, simply to take it with you to use it, similarly to what happens with cars and trucks (in the photo the campaign for transalpine safety, testimonial of the fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld) in the event of an emergency stop if you have to get off the vehicle at the side of the road.

 

A maneuver does not affect us. However, remember to bring safety vest with you that you normally leave by car if you plan trips to the French land starting from 1 January…

 

 

The Local Police will have new safety vests before this quarter

The winning company is taking the measures of the police officers who will use them.

The Local Police of Zaragoza will have new protection vests at the end of this quarter given that currently the winning company is taking the measures to the agents, informs the police.

 

As stated in the press release of the Local Police, this is one of the issues that have been addressed during the meeting that the Councilor delegated by the City Council, Elena Ginner, has had with the body’s commanders and their union representatives.

Remember the Local Police in its statement that the incorporation of the new safety vest to the equipment of the agents will be “imminent”, since the contract for it was signed a few days ago and currently the winning company is taking the measures of the police that will do use of them.

 

In addition, the union representatives of the police have advanced to Ginner some of the proposals of its ‘Action Plan for a new security model in the city of Zaragoza’.

 

In the press release, the Police stress that this proposal, whose first draft was delivered at the end of last July, aims to “modernize and develop new public policies in the field of security for citizens.” All this has occurred during a meeting that has served for the two parties to exchange their views on the measures they have adopted and will be adopted within the Local Safety Board, whose last meeting took place this week in order to start orchestrate the security of the Pillar fiestas.

 

In addition, during the meeting, the celebration of a course on ‘Community Police’ has been defined. Next Monday will begin a session in which specialists from other police forces, universities and the Zaragoza City Council will intervene. Its objective is to find the most efficient ways and safety equipments to respond to new security demands, derived largely from jihadist terrorism.

 

 

What fine can you get if you do not wear the vest in the car?

It is advisable to take a scraper to remove ice, a flashlight, and a bottle of water or a first aid kit. In addition to being very useful in case of accident or any other unforeseen, carry certain accessories in our car is mandatory. So much so, that if we do not carry the approved triangles or the reflective vest can lead to a fine of 200 Euros.

 

The triangles will serve to signal to the other vehicles that ours is broken and, therefore, must be careful and slow down. They are placed at a distance of 50 meters, both in front of and behind the car. In the case of roadways with more than two lanes per direction or one way, only it will be necessary to put it in the back.

 

The reflective safety vest, meanwhile, is mandatory to get out of the vehicle in case of emergency stop. In addition, it is advisable to take more than one, in case the stop occurs when we travel with more people. Another reason why we can take home a fine of 200 Euros is not to carry in the vehicle any system that allows us to continue the march in the event of a puncture, such as a spare wheel or an anti-puncture kit.

 

There are other accessories that, although it is not mandatory to take them in the car, they can be very useful in case of emergency. This is the case of spare lamp kits, a scraper to remove ice on Monday in winter, gloves to withstand the cold in the case of having to change a wheel or put the chains, a blanket in case we get stuck in the snow, a rag, a bottle of water, an anti-fog spray and caloric foods. In winter, we should not forget to carry strings by hand.

 

In addition, if we travel, whatever the season in which we do it, it is advisable to bring a small safety kit, a fire extinguisher, boot clips, American tape and some tools to change a wheel in case of a puncture. Finally, never forget to bring a mobile phone charger, all the documentation, and a handy assistance number.

 

 

Emergency personnel dressed safety vest in an accident simulation

The police in safety vest of Different safety and emergency forces of Navarra participated this Thursday in a simulation of an accident and subsequent fire in the tunnel of Leiden of the A-21 Autodial Perrine. The event, which has been coordinated by the Civil Protection Service of the Government of Navarra, aims to verify the effectiveness of the implementation of the Emergency Plan for Tunnels (PETNA) of the Road Network of Navarra.

 

In addition to the troops mentioned above, in today’s practice, the 18 students is being developed at the School of Safety and Emergencies of Navarra between October 9 and on November 28. The activity is carried out in the scenario of the so-called singular infrastructures and is included in the module ‘Direction, command and control of emergencies’ of the program of the course.

 

The simulation of this Friday is included within the strategy of verification of the Emergency Plan for road safety. Directive 2004/54 / EC establish that tunnels of more than 500 meters in length must have emergency response plans. Although Navarra does not have a similar regional norm, the Government of Navarre has a plan that includes the minimum-security requirements established in that Directive.

 

In addition to the simulation that took place, the Department of the Presidency, Public Function, Interior and Justice developed last Tuesday, November 14, a technical day of emergencies and security to present to the operative groups the draft of the Emergency Plan in Tunnels of the road network of Navarra.

 

Emergencies that may arise within a tunnel’s facilities are cataloged on a scale of 0 to 3, from least to greatest severity. Among the incidents of level 0, conditions that occur in the normal use of road infrastructure are classified, such as water leaks, meteorological incidents or obstacles in the siding. Level 1 encompasses the conditions that only require police assistance, for example, incidents that require traffic regulation. Within the level two emergencies, in addition to police assistance, other means of intervention in emergencies (health care, rescue, rescue, logistical support, etc.) participate. Finally, in an emergency of level 3, a more serious range, exceptional means intervene.

 

The risk involved in traffic through a tunnel is related to both the length and the number of vehicles that circulate through it. Following this aspect, in Navarra, the steps are those that have an appreciable emergency risk.

 

There are a series of guidelines that should be followed at the time of suffering or finding an accident inside a tunnel. As a first step, you have to turn on the emergency lights and stop the engine. Before leaving the vehicle, it is necessary to put on the reflective vest and after that go to request help, using the SOS poles or by calling 112.

 

 

What to do if your car leaves you lying

Although it may seem obvious what we have to do, there are really certain protocols that will help us a lot. It has happened to all of us. In the place and at the most inopportune moment, the car leaves us stranded. Many times, we did not see it coming without any reflective elements, other times it could have been prevented.

 

Although it may seem obvious what we have to do in these cases, there are really certain protocols that will help us a lot. If your car has not left you lying in a long time, it does not hurt for you to prevent yourself with these tips to avoid setbacks.

 

  1. Intermittent

The first thing you should do when detecting any fault, is to put intermittent. It is not the same as grabbing you in a small street, that in a main avenue, and even on the road. The turn signals are the first signal that warns other motorists that you are stopped or something is happening. Especially if you are in main avenues, it is essential to warn and alert to avoid accidents.

 

  1. Signaling

Ideally, all vehicles have their safety equipment in the trunk: the emergency triangles and the reflective vest. After the intermittent, stay in your vehicle until you consider it safe to get off to put the signs. Remember that, in order to fulfill their function, you need to put the triangles at a distance of 50 meters in front and 50 meters behind your car.

 

  1. Move your car to a safe area

You already warned that you are arrested. However, look for a safe place to go. If your car is stopped, consider asking for help so they can push it in neutral speed. You do not know how long it will take you to restart, so make sure you try as far as possible to get around.

 

  1. Review and make the relevant calls

Maybe someone can read certain engine signals. For example, if the lights are OK, but the engine does not run, the problem could be in the engine. Alternatively, on the contrary, if the lights are low or do not turn on, it could be the battery. Nevertheless, the advisable thing is that you have the contact of a trusted mechanic or your insurer always at hand. Even if you feel tempted to move, know what it is, solve it quickly, it is better not to assume things, and wants to resolve them your way.

Although the battery may seem simple, doing it wrong can cause damage to other parts of the vehicle.

 

  1. Relax and pay attention

Most of the time, the experience can leave us a bit upset. However, things can get worse if you are not calm and focused. From leaving the keys inside, until deciding not to wait so long and prefer that anyone look, both decisions are hasty and risky. Wear a safety vest on the roadside and wait the police to deal with the accidents.

 

  1. Schedule your next revision.

Before anything else happens, and without thinking too much, schedule your next revisions to avoid surprises as much as possible.

Police fine motorcyclist for not wearing reflective vest

Do motorcyclists have to wear a reflective vest?

That is the question that Mafias Bah monde, 23 years old, has after Friday when he went out for a ride in Temuco on his motorcycle and fined by border police for not wearing a reflective vest.

 

“I was on my way to Librans when I ran into a couple of border police who performed a routine check, they asked me for the papers and since I had everything up to date and in order, I remained calm,” the young man explained to LUN.

He added that “we were finishing when they look at each other and ask each other: ‘What do we do with the reflective safety vest? Did we pass the infraction or not? The border police were not clear what to do.”

 

Bah monde indicated that at the crossroads, one of the border police decided to take the radio and ask, obtaining as a response a ‘yes’, so he must appear at the local police court next January 12. Despite the clarification, the doubts regarding this issue is due to the fact that article 75 of the modified decree 164 of the Ministry of Transport does not specify which vehicles the vest must have.

 

It should be remember that the only obligations of motorcyclists’ clothing are those that appear in Decrees 231 and 234 of the Traffic Law, which are relate to the biker’s clothing and the use of reflective helmet.
