Reflective vest for the walk group

They arrive in dribs and drabs, but in less than ten minutes the square of the Pinetop station fills. They are 21 and wear a safety vest, as is now happening uninterruptedly since 3 March, every Monday and Thursday, is meeting in front of the station the people of the walkers, a few hundred people on average for a couple of hours are devoted to a walk health. Young and old, but also children on the stroller and dogs on a leash, all united by the desire to spend time together, do a little ‘healthy physical activity.

 

To design the “walking group” pieties, the primary cardiac surgery Atria, Antonio Macanese Santorin, fascinated by the experience made by a colleague of Terumi, he has decided to repeat the initiative even in Pinetop.

 

“When we started we were in 140,” said the doctor, “but then slowly, thanks to a spontaneous word of mouth, and the group grew, reaching, one spring evening, in 430 appearances. We walk every time from 6 to 9 km and it is nice to see how, through this merry party, the whole country comes alive, especially, once the tourists leave, on winter evenings. ”

 

The event, in fact, is known by all and also had the support of the city administration. To participate all you need is good shoes, a flashlight and a reflective vest.

“In a country where there are great opportunities to socialize,” added Macanese, “the walking group allows you to get together, learn corners of the territory that often even the residents know and have direct contact with nature. One of the most fascinating experiences, in fact, was able to walk a few weeks ago on a carpet of fireflies. Moreover, thanks to the efforts of volunteers, there is the certainty of just along the way not to be left that, however, can be done by everyone. Among our walkers we also had a sprightly 92 year-old man, as a boy of just two months in a wheelchair with her mother. ”

 

And, despite the decline in attendance recorded in the month of August because of the holidays, we hope to return in the next few appointments to the usual numbers.

“Walking is good and anyone can do it, wear reflective clothing will be better for safety” he concluded Macanese, “but to do so together we have more fun.”

Police teach primary school students about road safety

Safety vests and reflective bicycle spokes increase security

Practical classes were given the primary school pupils in the Minden Street on Tuesday morning. In the schoolyard, the police-security adviser Heike Klein and Ditmars Hess welcomed the children and parents. At dawn they demonstrated to the students how important it is, even in the dark on the road to be seen. For this, the children were given reflective vests.

 

Thus, it was also really vividly, the children took place in the police van and watched from there if they can recognize their classmates in the dark well. “The one sees hardly,” says the eight-year Auras. “Only with vest I can see,” he says.

 

Ditmars Hess grazed him over such a vest, so he is better known on the way to school. “The jackets of the children are dark and the backpacks have hardly reflectors,” says Heike Klein. “It’s just not as cool to go with a vest to school, but in this way we show the children the difference. It would be ideal, of course, if the satchel also reflected,” said Klein.

 

“This morning I look at as a learning unit. Once a year we welcome the police with us. The issue of security is part of the social studies,” says Vice-principal Wolfgang Mickey. Ditmars Hess explains the classic scene from the road: “Children with and without reflective vest standing about 30 meters from the police van and then the fellow students can see for themselves whether they recognize the child or not Some have safety vests with reflectors, while others do not.” says Hess. 30 meters is about the distance that needs a motorist than stopping when he was on the way with 50 kilometers per hour. The stopping distance is then obtained from the reaction time and the braking distance, so Hess.

 

“Dark dressed people are perceived in the dark about 25 meters before, while those with reflective clothing to a distance of about 160 meters are visible,” says Owe Hageman by Dakar. He accompanied the project and keeps at school or a lesson from. “To the children of the differences between the visibility and the dangers to explain,” he says, pointing a photo with a dark person. In addition, the traffic safety consultants had a bicycle there to show the children the importance of lighting and reflectors. “The wheel has spoken here sticks reflected each spoke. Once the tire is moved, the area lights,” Heike Klein explained to the children. “We hope to achieve with this vivid action, the children and parents and prevent accidents at dusk and dawn can,” Klein hopes for more school children who move with reflective clothing in the dark.

The new Highway Code to keep road safety

Article R234-1 of the Highway Code now provides that the driver of a public transport vehicle, the driver in safety vest holds a probationary driver’s license (3 years after obtaining the permit or 2 years in case of solo driving) and the driver of a solo driving can be an offense of driving under the influence of alcohol from the threshold of 0.20 g of alcohol per liter of blood is 0.10 mg per liter of expired air. Previous thresholds were 0.50 grams per liter and 0.25 mg per liter (always applicable thresholds for other drivers). This is in fact the “zero alcohol” (750 possible fine, suspension of driving licenses 3 years max, 6-point reduction of the driving license, immobilization of vehicle possible).

 

Article R 412-6-1 of the Highway Code is changed. It prohibits, in addition to the use of a hand-held phone, wearing ear, by the driver of a vehicle in traffic, any device capable of emitting sound, except for devices electronic correctors’ deafness. Derogation is provided for drivers of priority vehicles of general interest, as well as for driving instruction including motorcycles.

 

This is actually the prohibition of phone headsets, hands-free kits and headphones of any kind that allow, for example, listen to music. This prohibition is applicable to cyclists and motorcyclists (drivers of a vehicle) (750 fine incurred, reduction of 3 points of the driving license). Drivers need to wear reflective clothing to keep visibility. Nothing Bluetooth kit inside the vehicle remains legal.

 

The rest of the information currently passing loop have more to brainwashing or “warmed” What indeed smoking, applying makeup, eating, listening to loud music, and other behaviors similarly, in a vehicle?

 

Article R 412-6 II of the Highway Code, already former, provides that: “Any driver must keep constantly in a state and in position to conveniently execute without delay all its obligations man½uvres. The possibilities of movement and field of vision must not be reduced by the number or position of passengers transported by objects or by affixing non-transparent objects on the windows”.

 

It is on the basis of this article that is sanctioned behaviors above. There is no novelty (max 150 fine, immobilizing the vehicle possible: case congested rear windows).

Moreover, since 1 January 2016, the bikers will have either on them or in storage of the vehicle, Reflective vest already imposed for drivers (high visibility vest).

Was also recently created a new sign ‘No entry’ level of arterial highways, identical to the other, but on square yellow background, to avoid misinterpretation.

 

Finally, as regards the prohibition of smoking in the presence of minors in the vehicle: the National Assembly voted this provision certainly recently, but it is not applicable because the law is not adopted permanently.
