Dresses civil in arrivals from Lisbon airport, reflective vest to serve uniforms, Luis Barreto and other police try to capture the attention of tourists who are preparing to get into the taxi queue. No easy task: between drag the bags and draw from mobile phones as soon as they are taken on land, most often the pamphlet alerting visitors to Portugal for the loss of rights of law enforcement officers is folded in four, and put haphazardly in your pocket without even the right to a curious look. Or wrapped will ilk of cigarette paper and forgotten soon afterwards.
“I knew a police in Portugal have an initial maturity of less than 800 euros? In your country and is winning a cop? “, Can be read on the flyer that the National Police Union (Sinapol) distributed this afternoon who came to Lisbon. Having already spent at Funchal airport, the campaign will also make scale in Porto (31 May), in Ponta Delgada (June 4) and Faro at a date yet to score. also available in English, French, German and Spanish, the message ends by saying that the PSP officers “are unmotivated” and that “it is more than obvious that an unmotivated worker does not produce as much as a motivated worker with safety vest.” Proud reduction of crime statistics, which allow the government to call Portugal a safe country, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Miguel Macedo, described the protest as “truly regrettable.” Who gets the land luso not really.
“I was expecting the worst,” admits Thomas Fischer, a German journalist to live for several years in Portugal. After all that heard about the protest Sinapol, had a more radical campaign to create a sense of insecurity to anyone stopping in Portugal. After all not. If the newcomer is of Germanic origin and not master any other language not even able, in fact, you realize there very well what is at stake. In the absence of someone who spoke the language, Sinapol resorted to automatic Google translation, admits the leader of the union, Armando Ferreira.
“Scary that, right?”. Just come from Maranhão with his wife for a holiday in Lisbon and later in Porto, Bruno Fonseca, a lawyer of 35 years, is speaking not of translation but the very situation described by the police – particularly the loss of access to medical services free, issue that is dear to him. “In Brazil the health of public networks are very poor and we want to have a health plan we have to pay out of our pocket,” he laments. It is more rested when you realize that there is no strike of ongoing security forces. “A strike would put the population against them. This kind of awareness of the people is more effective, “he says. “If the problem is not security, so I’m relieved,” confirms another Brazilian lawyer.
Unionists are now grappling with an elderly woman in reflective tape who mistook their vests with the airport employees – and wants to live force to be properly informed of the whereabouts of a given service. No-to be the last passenger to do so, and the refusal of the police to turn into guides airport there, costing them some grimaces of disgust.
“It’s a shame that this happens.” This, to Maria Santos, a management reformed coming companies from a tour in Ireland, is the situation that the country arrived with the police have to go protest to the airport gate – not the protest itself. “In fact, this campaign gives a bad image of the country”, he admits. “But they have every right to fight for what they think is fair.”

How to properly light up the cars?
The D.A.S. According to expert JogSzerviz question posed in the title, surprisingly, not so much, sometimes there is no obvious, and many drivers without reflective vest aware of when, what and how to light up the vehicles. Likewise they do not know what happens when the light is not sufficient, and what they say about it the whole of the relevant laws and regulations.
under the legislation of the Highway Code must be between the vehicles at night and limited visibility lights, it’s pretty obvious, so most people are aware. This means the use of dipped headlights and marker, with the exception of certain mopeds ship with no passing headlights.
But some people are not aware of the fact that the vehicles be screened day and good visibility even under. By car only when the open road corridor, but what few people know definitely that you must turn on headlights lived continuously in motor areas.
The use of high beam (spotlight) allowed only outside built-up areas unless the light signal are added. If the vehicle coming towards you or moving ahead, you cannot use the high beams, and the same is true even if parallel to the road train or ship is flying, because they are not vakíthatjuk the reflector. Of course, the light signal can be given even if the traffic is blinded to the other participants – warned dr. Aaron Szabo.
Fog lights and headlights
The D.A.S. JogSzerviz expert stressed that the use of fog lights is allowed only if it is justified by the visibility. The rear fog light as the brake lights of adequate light in so it can be confusing under normal viewing conditions. The fog lights (front fog lamp) is similar to the blinding lights, if fog or heavy rain did not dampen the shine.
Still only vehicle headlights in fog and falling snow can be used, fog lamps and reflectors not at all. Of course, this does not apply to a vehicle that is stopped in traffic only. Hand off to illuminate the vehicle is standing still, if the road is, and is not sufficiently lit by street lights or other light source.
Brake light, turn signal
In addition, it is important to mention also that compliance with the rules of the police clearly verifies and there are errors when they certainly cannot go on, as long as there is no fixed. It does not take part in the circulation of a vehicle, which all Its brake is broken or does not work in the direction indicator and the left front and rear position indicator.
The stop lamp is no excuse for turning signal may proceed if it can be indicated (in either direction) by hand, the position error is not an immediate problem between day and good visibility, or when the dipped-beam headlamps can be replaced. The latter case is the first opportunity to replace the bulb.
Cyclists lighting
Cyclists are also lighting up the highway code regulates. a bicycle can travel between night and limited visibility, which pre-white, red backward, continuous or flashing light to the lamp and reflector is placed. In addition, to be worn outside built-up area of safety vest or otherwise reflective clothes – she pointed out dr. Aaron Szabo.

The yellow vest becomes obligatory on two wheels
There is a little over 3 years, the Government announced the requirement to equip a “yellow safety vest” for all bikers and scooter riders as they travel. Faced with the outcry of the FFMC, the measure is softened by trading quietly vest against a simple retro-reflective armband, before finally moving to the hatch. It is in any case what was thought until early this year …
As part of its fight against road deaths presented January 26, 2015, the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has proposed the return of the yellow vest “in case of emergency stop, as is already the case for motorists. ” A recommendation was made official last Sunday, May 10, 2015, through a decree that complements the Highway Code.
The legislation will come into force on 1 January 2016, provides for the obligation for motorcyclists possess “them or storage of their vehicles (net, safe …)” a high visibility vest that will “wear down when their vehicle after an emergency stop, and have reflective tape to improve their visibility.” It thus puts them on par with motorists, for whom this was the case since 2008.
This obligation also applies to drivers of 3 wheel scooters and ATVs, which must also be equipped with a retro-reflective vest complies with the regulations in force (CE marking). Violators will face a fine of € 11 in the absence of the vest, and up to € 135 if they are caught on the side of the road without the device. You have seven months to prepare!
Correa apologizes for late ‘megahospital’ IESS Los Ceibos
Equipped with helmets and reflective vest, President Rafael Correa and President of the Board of IESS, Richard Espinosa, toured the land where the hospital of the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute, located in the Los Ceibos, in northern Guayaquil is built . Tuesday morning 16 February 2016, the movement of machinery and workers was intense in place. The construction, which will invest USD 200 275 473, is in charge of Sino-Spanish consortium NGH, formed by Sinohydro and Bridges. The new hospital IESS for the city was planned since 2011. But only in this year its construction and final design was completed. In some of his speeches, both Correa and Espinosa acknowledged the delay and offered apologies. “I owe you an apology, that makes me look bad and I do not like those things, I’m not demagogue. two or three years ago the former director, Ramiro Gonzalez, brought me to put first stone. But insisted so much that we came to lay the first stone, and there was absolutely nothing, “said the President in a yellow safety vest. five years in the administration of González, it was established that the reference budget for this project would be $ 280 million ago. Of that amount, about USD 266.7 million financed through the Bank of the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (Biess), by a trust. Espinosa stressed that, for the new calculations, there is a savings to the IESS. And promised it would be finished in February 2017. “Unfortunately there were a number of difficulties, where a series of trusts, legal gibberish all it took to untangle were created,” he said. The megahospital, as baptized Espinosa, will rise in an area of 76 000 m2, which belonged to the Workers’ Club IESS. Which worker s wearing clothing with reflective tape. You will have six towers, seven floors each, and even a helipad. It will have 550 beds, 20 operating rooms and can serve more than one million patients. It will offer 26 medical specialties in 105 multi-purpose offices. In addition it will have 30 intensive care beds, 12 beds in a burn unit, 78 emergency and 12 chairs for hemodialysis, with potential to expand to 110 seats. As it is operational, President Correa said referrals to private clinics will be reduced. “This hospital costs us USD 200 million. Just last year we spent USD 750 million in derivations, a huge amount; We can build almost four hospitals of these. ” At the beginning of his speech, and after explaining he would not talk much about feeling ill, the president referred to the debt of USD 8 000 million that would have the state with the IESS. “Technically it could well be considered (a debt). But on the other hand it could also be considered the best investment IESS. Not that we are behind, they are buying bonds that the IESS, with a yield of 7.5%. By the way, that’s part of the public debt of the state and comes from our own money. “
TEST: Reflective vest Safety Kalenji – arrange to respect both day and night
Temperatures started dropping below freezing point and weathermen promise that he will be better. With time, we have a full fat autumn and with him ever shorter day and dark and dark evenings. We runners do nothing else than to accept the situation and change to the dark side of the Force – to start running in the dark. Whether we give our portion of kilometers in the morning before going to work or coming home from her evening, the dark queen of our favorite lines, because the darkness is probably unavoidable. Let’s test it one of the reflective vest to increase its passive safety!
When enclosures in this weather is no good to think well on your comfort level. It may not be exactly shrouded as Eskimos, but the T-shirt he also will not be right. A good portion of the thermal protection as well as excellent passive safety ensures a reflective vest in the decathlon.
Reflection eyes to merge
For cross-country vest that I was still wearing, this is no exaggeration best equipped in reflective tape. Reflective surfaces found on the back, shoulders, armholes, at several points on the hips, abdomen and lesions on the cover fasteners. Runner becomes one huge, visible in the distance reflector.
The manufacturer guarantees a minimum visibility from a distance of 120 meters, in the range of 360 °. While according to some sources, the 120 meters was a personal vehicle enough to stop even a speed of 130 km / h on a wet road. Reflective material manufacturers certainly spared no expense, moreover, it used high-quality production from 3M.
Delight but also a selection of other materials and their processing. The entire back, with the exception of the uppermost parts reflexive implementation are led in meshové fabric. Decently mesh are also areas in the armpit. Which is not used or reflective mesh material, you’ll find a bright yellow polyester fabric. It adds to the visibility and safety as well as daylight.
Indeed for runners
In testing, I felt as if the man who designed this safety vest, was himself a runner. He thought about everything. Vesta adequately ventilated while the right places to protect athletes from the wind. The back is nicely extended and more so protects some parts of the guard.
Pockets, mesh inside, are large enough to accommodate even the largest mobile phone, handkerchiefs or a handful of energy gels. The entrance is guarded them quality YKK zippers and cover extention. In addition the pockets are sewn so that it can also be used inside in which actually consists of two other pockets. Though not closing, but if necessary, represent an additional storage space.
Quality and sturdy zipper is also used to fasten the vest. Cover Legum form a mutually reflective material. In addition, placket at the upper end creates a so-called garage, so after you complete tensioning zip will not rub on the chin. The collar is worked into the collar. Protection from wind and nowhere neplandá nor avoids stiffness.
The vest is available in four sizes: S, M, L and XL. My person short little over 170 cm size M fell like a glove. A very pleasant surprise was the price. Less than 650 crowns came to me for this piece more than folk. Basically for the same price I was on sale (!) Once he bought a reflective running vest from one world tinged manufacturer. Scanty reflective elements and bad treatment from her soon made a hated piece of equipment. This jacket Kalenji happen.
Objective: To prevent accidents
At the time of the return of spring and therefore motorbike tours, gendarme’s Prefectural squadron conducted yesterday in Moseley South, a major control operation. Objective: To prevent accidents.
The site was not chosen at random. Yesterday afternoon, the police squadron Prefectural road safety (RDHS) Metz chose a particular area of Moseley-South to conduct a large road safety operation: roads Dab and Donjon.
Popular routes on the weekend are at the return of spring, including motorcyclists with reflective vest. Spring is coming and become milder temperatures have led the police to act quickly to meet them, with their two hands: one for all, for prevention; and the other, if necessary, for repression.
And the stakes are high. “After the winter season, the first outputs are riskier because the bikers are slow to recover their driving reflexes on two wheels, ensures Captain Jean-Jack Tipsier, commander of the BSDE Metz. There are 27 times more likely to be killed in motorcycles by car. Yet many bikers take many risks, feeling in control of situation. ”
In motorcycle, the slightest inattention can be fatal. The recent news is there to confirm. “Last year in Moseley, in the first quarter, there were three motorbike accidents and three wounded, said the captain Tipsier. This year, the same period, we recorded eight accidents, with one killed and ten wounded. These accidents involved five motorcycles and five tours. ”
Also, faced with these worrying figures, the police with reflective uniform decided to strike hard. Sixteen soldiers Bo (motorized Brigades) Metz, Chateau-Salons, Sarreguemines and Pomp (motorized squad) Phalsbourg were deployed between the two passes of the Moseley Vosges, stopping all cross riders on their way.
They handed them a good conduct guide. “There are tips to be well equipped, adopt appropriate behavior, not complacency, respect the rules of conduct, etc. Since January 1, it is for example required that all two-wheelers have a reflective vest, to be an accident or breakdown.
All those who were in good standing are left unmolested. The others, including cars, were caught by the patrol. Especially since, for the year, the RDHS had also mobilized two of its most effective and powerful weapons for offenders: the unmarked motorcycles and unmarked car, capable in particular enter discreetly each speeding in hand traffic.
In the end, 150 motorcyclists were checked and all were in order. Twenty violations were against motorists been seen in: 18 speeding (identified with the dreaded unmarked car with onboard radar), a phone while driving and driving under the influence of alcohol. The presence of the police force has not, however, reason enough to everybody. A motorcyclist with reflective clothing lost control of his vehicle in the rise of Donjon in Abreschviller. He and his passenger were injured, suffering a fracture of both, and taken to the hospital Sarrebourg.
Unlit cyclists with safety vest pay a fine
Traffic policemen on Thursday light the riotous cyclists on the city main road. In the words of the head of the Traffic Police in reflective uniform Charles Kati eight cyclists had to pay a fine. “Most often it was the lack of equipment, driving on the wrong side and so on,” said Karle Kati.
Although cold again subsided, so people on a bicycle without safety vest as transportation funds remain, they must reckon with poor road conditions and especially should pay attention to the lighting of the bicycle.
“Checks on the cyclists will continue. Even people on bikes should obey the law of traffic on the roads, “said Charles Kati. Now motto See and be seen is true for cyclists and pedestrians in winter twice. That’s why police in the prevention in some roadside checks handed out to participant’s traffic reflective tape and warning vests. It is reflective element, the driver can see at night now 200 meters.
