29/4/2021 - Are you going by bike or scooter? Backpacks with LED signal lights

Many people daily use their bicycles or electric scooter to go to work or study. And it is that in recent years, we have seen how urban mobility has been changing. More and more people prefer to use this type of transport and leave their car parked, as well as not having to use public transport. This has meant that in many of the streets of the main cities, we find more and more people who travel by bicycle or electric scooter. The accidents in which this type of means of transport has been involved have been many in recent years, which has made the DGT is establishing new rules in the use of them. Although some of the causes of these accidents are the recklessness of the drivers themselves, the lack of signage is another major problem. Although on bicycles it is somewhat easier to indicate our maneuvers with the arm, with the scooter it is somewhat more complicated, for that reason, we are going to show below some models of backpacks with LED lights to signal our maneuvers and that other drivers can know what we will do in advance. When buying one of these backpacks with the signaling of maneuvers through LED lights, it is important to take into account several aspects. One of them is its capacity, here we will have to think about our needs, if we are one of those who need to carry many things in our backpack, such as a laptop, work clothes, etc. On the other hand, it is important to check if it has other reflective material elements since this will help us to be much more visible when we are driving at night. Of course, if the fabric is waterproof, we will avoid that any dip while we move, which can wet everything that we carry inside. The capacity of its battery is also another important piece of information since we need sufficient autonomy so that we can signal our maneuvers throughout our journey. Another option to take into account is that it has a remote control, a control that we can attach to the handlebars of our bicycle or scooter and from which we can control each of the signs that appear on the backpack itself. It is also interesting to check the size of the signals, the number of LEDs, etc. Backpacks with LED signage Backpack with a 35-liter capacity that incorporates a USB charger and is made of high-quality, water-resistant, and highly durable nylon. The built-in battery offers an autonomy of up to 12 hours and offers the possibility of displaying three LED signals to indicate a left turn, right turn, and danger signal when we go by bicycle or scooter. It also has other reflective elements so that we can be seen on the road without any problem. Backpack with an executive design measuring 48 × 38 cm, padded straps for maximum comfort, and a remote control function with built-in control to be placed on the handlebar of the bike or scooter. In this way, from the command itself, we can indicate the signals that will be displayed on the backpack through its panel of LED lights.

21/1/2019 - Etten-Leurse pupils stand out in traffic

The municipality of Etten-Leur is asking for extra attention this week for visibility in traffic. During the campaign 'I fall in at Etten-Leur' reflective materials are handed out at primary schools. By showing this visibly, the pupils are more visible in traffic. Attention is also paid to this in the lessons.

 

Those who wear dark clothing in traffic can only be seen from 20 meters away at twilight and in the dark. With light clothing on this distance is 50 meters. Reflective clothing or reflective tapes significantly increase visibility.

27/7/2018 - Reflective elements can save life

The village has been involved in the road safety project and equips citizens with reflective tapes.

 

Even they know that the most frequent accidents in the Czech Republic are clashes with pedestrians, where the guilt is inconsiderate on both sides, but also very often the poor visibility of pedestrians mainly during the morning darkness and evening darkness.

 

You should wear reflective vests moving in an unlit section of communications outside the village according to two years of valid law. "When I registered that the Association of Local Authorities of the Czech Republic, to which we are a member, offered a free set with five hundred reflective tapes, I immediately decided to ask for it," Yaroslavl stated on Tuesday, saying that for the safety of pedestrians in the village Two transitions are illuminated.

 

To increase pedestrian safety, member clubs can freely obtain from the association a set of 500 reflective tapes that will ensure that the wearer's visibility is not overlooked. The project is part of Esker. Tubing with a reflector magazine and a sticker on the self-adhesive tapes has a community logo as well as tapes. "These reflective stickers meet high reflectance and luminance standards. The visibility of certified elements is guaranteed to be at least 80 meters in normal visibility, "says the mayor, saying that anyone who wants to be seen in the evening simply pulls a reflective sticker from the bottom of the magazine and sticks it to the jacket sleeve. This ensures better visibility. "I think we will increase the security of our citizens in the evening," says Yaroslavl Binna.

 

These cans with a reservoir of reflective tapes can be obtained free of charge by municipalities that are members of the Association of Local Self-Governments of the Czech Republic.

Bohemia praises the idea: "Right on Monday I gave my 13-year-old son a belt on his jacket." "I leave them for children. For them they are very important," said Bohemia.

 

Also Mayor Piton, last year's Village of the Year of the South Bohemian Region, Yaroslavl Havel asked the association to send a set. "We installed it at a bus stop Monday, and the first ones were children who used the tapes immediately," said the mayor, saying that if this method of distributing the reflective materials is proven, the village buys one device for the other three local parts.

 

It is best to fasten the strap to the leg. According to the BESIP coordinator Vaclav Kava, it is visible before the army, as the approaching car illuminates us from the bottom.

28/7/2017 - 31% of the folding posts of route require replacement

The accelerated deterioration of the folding posts that began to be placed a year ago in 37 kilometers of the route 32 is evident. In just 12 months, 626 posts (31%) of the 2,000 installed on that road leading to Limón, require replacement, since they lost their ability to get up when struck, or were cut off or taken off the road altogether.

 

LEA: Flexible poles would avoid speeding en route to Limón

The doubts about whether the damage presented by the structures is caused by poor quality of the reflective materials causes a dispute between the Ministry of Public Works and Transport and the company Jull.

According to Traffic Engineering Manager, Junior Araya, Jull Signals certified that the posts had to withstand up to 200 blows before losing their ability to return to their original position. However, damage to the devices was visible from the first few weeks of installation.

 

"When the project is executed, the inspection is done and it is verified that all of the posts were installed and appeared to comply with everything, however, there began to arise the question of the performance of the posts by an accelerated deterioration that occurs in The site and before that doubt proceeded to coordinate tests with the Technological Institute of Costa Rica to evaluate their performance, "explained Araya.

Mauricio Araya, from the School of Engineering in Construction of the ITCR, confirmed that the studies were done and were delivered to the MOPT, but claimed that he could not divulge the results by confidentiality. For its part, the company claims that Ingénue signed a final receipt that legally closed the contract since December last year.

 

LEA: Route 32 folding poles no longer seen at night

"The useful life is in the poster and is associated with a technical standard, it is not in months or years, but in the amount of impacts that supports a post and the poster says 200 impacts and the standard says of a sedan vehicle," he claimed Adriano, spokesman for the company. According to the lawyer, the poles were damaged because they were not suitable for the place where they were placed (a road where 4,100 heavy vehicles circulate daily), in addition to the vandalism and bad faith of drivers who passed them.

 

With these statements, Junior Araya said that the administration can carry out tests or tests to verify the quality of the product, and that having signed the receipt does not imply termination of the contract. In addition, the results of the ITCR have yet to be analyzed in the Board of Directors of the Road Safety Council. An elapsed year and many posts damaged later, the question is whether this device was suitable for route 32. By that route circulate 13,600 vehicles a day, and 30% (4,100) are heavy trucks, according to MOPT data. And to answer, Junior Araya is sharp.

 

LEA: MOPT supposes 'hidden interest' in damage to folding posts

"There is no such post, which can withstand 200 strokes of a trailer, and from the beginning I did not know that people were going to get over them," said the hierarch, who defended that it was a pilot plan.

 

"The poles are not placed so people are hitting them," Araya added.

According to the official, because it is a road that does not have shoulders and in which it alternates from one to two lanes per direction along the mountainous part, it was necessary safety devices of this type to tell the driver how the demarcation goes, Because by the conditions of the climate in that sector, the painting is constantly erased.

 

Araya ruled out the possibility of replacing posts with New Jersey barriers, because in case of collapses or accidents would completely block the passage. In the MOPT, they say that the neighbors of sectors such as Potosi have even sent letters requesting that the damaged posts be replaced, because they did stop the fatal accidents.

4/7/2017 - Reflective tapes of the Regional Project Safe

Three municipalities with extended powers (ORP), which are Pelham, Hum pole and Pico, acquired from Shire Highland reflective tape that among their inhabitants is distributed in various ways.

 

Retractable reflective tape with the logo of the Regional Project Safe Highlands city Pelham devoted, for example, children from primary schools and kindergartens run by the city Pelham.

 

Tapes that people should use when moving outside of the village in reduced visibility, you cannot just pick Pelham in two places. "Other reflective tapes are available for free to anyone interested in the Tourist and Information Center on Masaryk Square in Pelham and the registry of the Municipal Office Pelham on Prague Street," said Jadish of the Department of Internal Affairs Municipal Office Pelham.

 

Representatives Pelham had for its citizens to have nearly 38,000 tapes. "The number should cover roughly eighty-five percent of active road users," spokeswoman Ditka region.

 

"Several thousand tape of reflective material that we have for the entire district from region got; now we distribute to children through various organizations, such as schools and kindergartens.

19/6/2017 - Textile of reflective material Equipment Testing

The Swiss brand Assoc has always designed top-of-the-range bike clothing with reflective material. The products are expensive, but above all very technical. Many cyclists who have tasted the brand's products do not want to go back.

 

The "ALS" concept offers a system of technical clothing for which each item is designed and developed to complement and work together, allowing you to practice cycling all year round. The goal is to insulate the body to retain enough heat and so regulate your body temperature regardless of weather conditions.

 

If you have read the above, you know that this jacket is intended for use between 6 and 14 ° C. IJ means Insulator Jacket, so it's a windbreaker jacket. It replaces the ASSOS Series element One RX jacket. Although I am not a fan of green, the aesthetics is rather successful and most importantly, the reflective jacket is very visible. The iJ.haBu5 is designed to be worn as a second layer, over an undergarment. If you choose your first coat correctly, you can even extend the use of this jacket until the first cold winter.

 

Not less than 7 fabrics, 20 panels and 14 components are used for its manufacture. The side panel’s forearm and back are made of breathable RXQ fabric. The front panel, the upper arms and the collar are in stratagem Light. With this material, as the temperature decreases, the permeability of the membrane is reduced, thus retaining body heat.

 

On the inside, there is a polar type material that allows the body to be isolated from the outside air thanks to the trapped air. Nothing to say side finishes, it is spotless. Everything is perfectly adjusted. The collar goes up very high, allowing keeping the neck warm. A small flap comes to finish the Zip at the top so as not to bother.

The cut is rather typed courier. The L is perfect, it needed no less. But no fear, that's normal. Once in position on the bike, the jacket perfectly matches the cyclist and his movements. Elastic placed at the bottom of the jacket allows the latter not to go up, even if you put yourself in a dancer.

 

Nothing to say side finishes, it is spotless. Everything is perfectly adjusted.

On the storage side, you are served with no less than 6 pockets! Yes, you read correctly. 3 back pockets, deep and widely accessible, as well as two side pockets, zipped, to protect your keys, your Smartphone (even those of last generation come in) or money.

 

The fifth pocket is on the right arm. The jacket is very thin and light, so it seems to me that the temperature of use is wrong. 6 ° C seems optimistic while I feel that it can be widely used above 14 ° C. On the road, we appreciate quickly the comfort brought by this jacket windbreaker and its high level of comfort. The insulation and reflective tape is beautiful and well present, while ensuring good breathability to avoid overheating. But the temperature zone given by the Clearance is, at 1 ° C, just as far as I am concerned.

 

Up to 7 ° C, I felt good with a quality but relatively thin underwear. Below, the first kilometers, which I often attack by a descent, are almost uncomfortable, the time that the body rises in temperature. Once a few kilometers traveled, you feel good.

If the temperature rises during the exit, you will be at ease up to 15 ° C approximately. Beyond that, even if breathability is good, sweating will take over and cause discomfort.

19/5/2017 - Reflective heat transfer film is used in backpack

The reflective backpack is a very important piece of equipment for a motorcyclist. As motorcycles do not have luggage, it is the most practical option to take with you to work or to take a trip. At the same time the backpack cannot interfere with driving, cannot open itself, and cannot cause danger to the driver during the fall. Today we change the motorcycle backpack from the top shelf - Mach 5. This is one of the more expensive proposals for motorcyclists on the market; the question is worth the price?

No Drag Mach 5 is a modified version of No Drag Mach 3. The backpack has gained the capacity to expand its capacity, additional shoeboxes, viewfinder and some other nice extras. In addition, the Mach 5 has the ability to carry a 15-inch laptop, a helmet hanger and the option of folding one of the arms for easier removal of the backpack.


Reflective Material used and finish: The backpack is made of extruded outer shell that gives it a distinctive shape. The carrier system is made of hard-wearing synthetic fabrics. The inside pockets for the shoes and viewfinder are made of mesh and soft flip. The whole is done very carefully and aesthetically. The highest quality materials used and the quality of workmanship make after half a year of use on the backpack, apart from minor scratches, practically no signs of use.


 Comfort and daily use: I would use the comfort of this product in two areas. The first would be backpacking, the second using the backpack alone. As for the ride, it's hard to get a better motorcycle backpack, and I've had plenty of backpacks to ride on two wheels. The Mach 5 is perfectly placed on the back, with straps that fit well into the driver's silhouette, even if the driver's jacket is aerodynamic. The backpack fulfills the manufacturer's promises. It does not interfere with driving; it does not generate turbulence and tug. 250 km / h on a naked motorcycle is sufficient speed to be convinced.


 The Ohio has a great fastening system that prevents the rucksack from opening while riding (it is located on the driver's back). The pockets were designed so that nothing would happen to them. Here we come to the second aspect of using a backpack. Hard casing and fixed form have their limitations. Even with the backpack which has reflective heat transfer film zoom option, the outer shell will never fit into your luggage. Either it is housed or not. Well protected locks require a bit more attention and care in handling. They are not as readily available as in a classic backpack, so efficient packaging and unpacking Mach 5 requires a bit of practice. The laptop pocket is great, the left shoulder strap for easy removal of the backpack is a real revelation (why other manufacturers did not come up with it?), and the helmet fixing system works well, the organizer squeaking is a bit too shallow.


The No Drag Mach 5 is a great idea for a backpack of everyday use during commute to work, or for short trips. It works best on sports and sport-tourist motorbikes. Due to the form has its limitations, but great quality convinced even unconvinced. The only real minus ... is the price. Nearly 800 are quite a lot.

10/5/2017 - Reflectors: how to buy and use them properly

 

When buying a reflective material products should pay attention to whether it was placed on the CE mark, manufacturer name and type of product and whether it is accompanied by instructions for use. None of these elements means that the product should not be used on the road - is a gadget that only resembles glare.

The following reflection is placed, the better it illuminate headlights and the driver can already see the pedestrian. Therefore, the optimal height at which you should wear is a reflection of the amount of incident light on his headlights.

Pay attention to accessories worn reflectors are not covered.

Moving the left side of the road (in the direction opposite to the movement of vehicles) glare is best to wear on the right arm or leg (facing traffic). When we move in the column, we should go to the right side, and then we should wear them on the left arm or leg (facing traffic).

In the case of the elements attached permanently to the clothing (in particular sewn reflective tape), periodically check whether the reflective surface is not wiped, If you notice that the reflective tape sewn on our clothes or backpack is worn, replace it.

If the reflection leaks and enters a water thereto (including reflections of the plastic film and prismatic), it must be replaced. The water inside the reflective surface causes loss of retro reflective properties.

 

Guides for businesses and consumers

As the scale of the irregularities is high, the OCCP in cooperation with the Office for Prevention of Road Traffic Police Headquarters, Central Institute for Occupational Safety and Motor Transport Institute has prepared guides for consumers and entrepreneurs Safety glare. The guidance for consumers can find information, how to buy and use a properly reflective accessory, and what to do if bought reflection is defective. Guide for entrepreneurs is a compendium of knowledge about the rules that apply to accessories reflectors and proper for them to conformity assessment procedures.

22/4/2017 - Trying to save life with this reflective dress

 

If you like black bear, live in the winter of dangerous, says Larraine. That is why the Miss Switzerland will soon generate more safety on the road.

 

"Look, if you wear in the dark only black that can be dangerous on the road," Larraine explains the message of the awareness campaign, the Canton police Freiburg. From November the Miss Switzerland radiates from posters in their home canton and advises the public to attract bright and reflective clothing when they are out after sunset.

 

The pink, reflective dress she wears on the campaign subject, there is, however, not to buy. "It has been specially made for me," she says, "and I was allowed to keep it." At a preventive use it will not come: The part hangs currently with her in the closet.

 

Uncertain future

There are projects of reflective material like this that are the 23-year-old at heart: "I am happy when I can do things that might change a little bit the world." And it is also what the task of modern Miss Switzerland is since the choice was taken in summer by entrepreneur Guido. Instead of beauty and entertainment charity and commitment have ever since been on the agenda of the official holders. But sponsors can therefore no longer be attracted.

 

"So far I have invested more than five million francs [out of pocket]," Florin reveals in the latest issue of "Schweitzer Illustrierte", "if we fail to make the choice on a broader ownership, we must decide whether I am committed again "until the beginning month said Nick Schwab, media spokesman for the Miss Switzerland organization against the Switzerland on Sunday." As long as Guido Florin is the owner of the Miss Switzerland is a remain "Should Florin the line Make the image of Miss could be so changed again, as PR expert Ferris Buhler or 3+ boss Dominick Kaiser recently demanded.

 

Part-time Miss Switzerland

If and when a change of leadership is pending, is currently unclear. Larraine Salina one-year term would end in November, but because no successor was chosen because of uncertain financing still makes only times further. However, it is may be only until February 100 percent Miss Switzerland.

 

"It was from the beginning, my deadline," explains Laureate in reflective dress, "I go back to university and want to finish my archeology degree." "I do not know when the next election will be, and that's no longer my business," she says.

2/3/2017 - Backpacks should include reflective material surfaces

Johannes was consistently in 1st class: If he ran in the morning to school, he sat on his red cap and put on his yellow safety vest. "Excluded because respects John of it alone," his mother Mira added. Motorists should recognize him better, says the seven year old who lives in here. "The Lisa from my class has also worn the vest, but not as often as I," said the Runt. As soon morning worsen the lighting conditions in the fall, John tappet returns to this outfit to school. That this is necessary, his father Bastian explained with the fact that just in the morning reign heavy traffic in front of the schools. Recently he had seen for the first time that a car had stopped by itself when John was a good five minutes on the sidewalk and was about to cross the street. "Many children in its class do not walk to school, they are brought by car and have therefore the safety reflective vest not," his mother added.

 

occur daily between 7 and 8 o'clock in the dark winter months significantly more traffic accidents with children than in the rest of the time, explains Christine Retting, the ADAC spokeswoman for Lower Saxony / Saxony-Anhalt. Compared with the spring and summer months from March to August increases the number of six- to 14-year-olds whose lives are lost at this time of day as a pedestrian or cyclist, erratic, sometimes doubling on. At dark children can speed and distance of oncoming vehicles assess worse than usual and also overlooked faster because of their size.

 

Although would always advised to wear bright clothes, but the games in everyday school life hardly matters. "It would be nice if all the children and parents would then approach the road safety as the family” says Gemini Kerrie.

Fact: In this and last year a total of 19 children were injured in traffic accidents. Among other things, as around 7 am a child was seriously injured in the road in Number Seitz on February 21 last year. As reported by the police, the girl wanted to cross the road and ran it directly in front of a car. The student was taken to the hospital by emergency medical Seitz supply. Apparently, the eleven year old had seen her waiting on the opposite side of the street at the bus stop school bus and was then immediately run into the street. A parked vehicle was the girl probably also block the view. The car driver (47) recognized by the child no longer timely.

 

"Sometimes children are inattentive or may the road not overlook because of their own body size," said the police commissioner. They are often overlooked by drivers. "Traffic accidents with children who are on foot, occurring mostly on the school of the child," explains Christine Retting.

 

To protect their child, parents should select in the clothes of young bright and colorful colors, eye-catching colors make the child previously visible. The spokeswoman draws attention: studies show according to the ADAC that a motorist brightly dressed road users from a distance of about 80 meters recognizes dark clothes until about 25 meters. Depending on the speed of the vehicle, this is too late. Besides clothes and schoolbags, sports bags or backpacks should include reflective material surfaces as possible.

16/2/2017 - Cycling with reflective material rain pants

Some Ewers can also be of snow, slush and ice not to discourage cycling. Martin Stroke even puts back every day the distance between Ewers and Munich on his e-bike.

Nevertheless, he commuted to his workplace in Munich only once with the train before he first tried on occasion, if that were not could go by bike. It was, but took a bit long; therefore Stroke indulged a little help from an electric motor and now achieved an enviable average speed of 33 kilometers per hour. A good hour's Martin Stroke goes until he has arrived at his company - or rather at the fitness center next door. The hot shower here is urgently needed in order to be socially acceptable for the working day: "I come to totally drenched in sweat."

 

In the morning he has to go seven o'clock, he's back in Ewers 17:30 to 18:30. In the winter, so it's always dark, as in coming back. Nevertheless Stroke does not want to miss his way of commuting - on the contrary: If it is in times when traveling abroad, he tries to maintain his routine. The other day he cycled around in China for his work, but was only two kilometers away in this case.

 

Stroke is one of many indefatigable in the district, the change does not necessarily even in winter on the car or other warm, wind and weather-proof means of transportation. Nicola Goner belongs to four times a week they pedaling from their homes in Zorn ding to kindergarten in Poring where she works. For ecological reasons, mainly, but also because it is her - at least most - fun. More than three or four kilometers were the but not, she says modestly, it was also a pleasant route on cycle paths and small roads: "And when it pours total, I do not drive" Bulky transports it handled rather than by car. Snow, mud, fog and slippery leaves, however, they cannot stop. "By car, it would be in snow not funny," says the 48-year-old ", it is effectively not in the garage, so I would have to free only scratch." So it swings usually would rather on a bike, in a thick reflective jacket, hand-knitted gloves and a red crocheted cap, which, as she says, might not necessarily be a visual highlight but warms well. And be especially nice to come to a warm place after the ride: "Then you so pleased right."

 

For the Ewers author and Green politician Bettina Golden hardly any other means of transportation is by now anyway as the bike in question. Her 16 -year-old touring bike they can reliably transmit through autumn and winter. "Drove the car I'm always very reluctant, now I do not even drive." Is "This is exactly mine the car is too fast for me to walk: she enjoys that her fresh air blowing in locomotion around the nose, she likes the pace - quite apart from the fact that the bike is the most environmentally friendly means of transportation." Only if it is right eaglet, she does not dare more; Rain, however, they do not shrink, before that, they protect their, as she says, reflective material rain pants and a thick parka.

21/11/2016 - The gloves with reflective material certified

Proposed by the Road Safety Committee (IRB) on 2 October 2015, the measure requiring mandatory gloves with reflective material certified on a motorized two-wheeled vehicle was validated and published in the Official Gazette on 19 September.

 

As a result, all users of motorcycles and scooters, pilots as passengers, must now be equipped with EPI-certified gloves in all circumstances. The measure will come into force on Sunday, November 20th. In other words, you have until Saturday to buy you a homologated pair if not yet the case.

21/10/2016 - Something with reflective material can enhance visibility

In the dark winter months, it is not only important to see as a cyclist, but also to be seen. In addition to the active illumination by headlight, and taillight reflectors increase passive safety. Something with reflective material also can enhance visibility. The presidents-bike has looked for ideas that provide enlightenment.

 

It is an irony of history that still mandatory pedal reflectors in 1937 required, among other things, to rinse the Nazis money in the coffers. The patent for the time used held a former chauffeur Hitler. Who created them and sold, royalties to the Anton GmbH had to pay - majority owned the SS, for the quite reasonable novelty turned out to be surprisingly lucrative business.

 

Reflector even when battery lighting requirement

Notwithstanding this inglorious past increase reflectors disputed the visibility and therefore the safety of cyclists. In addition to retro-reflective tape, like the Moto "Reflex Pedal" (55 Euros) - although according to the motto "better than nothing" is not entirely rule conform - be interpreted modern, therefore a laterally radiating passive lighting on the running wheels as required, as acting as forward and back reflectors; it also the elimination of Dynamo duty has not changed!

 

Who is quite different is the thought to clamp objects between his spokes fortunately and quite legally have recourse to an alternative to the spokes reflectors commonly known as "cat's eyes": "are with us quasi serially all touring tire with reflective tape or in the boarding area optional "noted Doris. Also in the sportive field and spiked is tires to find appropriate models.

 

Two birds with one stone in a similar manner headlights and taillights with integrated reflectors that are offered even when the battery-powered versions. While the front only a reflector is needed, it requires at the rear next to a large reflective strip with Z-marked a second passive optical dispenser. "Taillights suits are available in two sizes - while Porter taillights often the Z-, fender taillights however the mostly small additional reflectors," explains Sebastian from lighting.

29/9/2016 - The vision with reflective material

It seems that in Spain have very strongly about safety on the road, of any type of road user is. The officials who administer the town, located near Barcelona, ​​have imposed on the prostitutes who work necessarily outside the city center (and, for that, in places where lighting is deficient or even absent), to wear reflective vest, just like you normally do in the Italian motorways, when you leave the car in the lay-bys.

You should know that prostitution, in Spain, is not illegal when profit is not a third, a prosecutor, and remains lawful if the proceeds of selling sex remain the first traders, prostitutes. The political forces of this country, have introduced a fine of 40 €, which will be imposed on any of the professionals engaged in the street found not to wear the reflective clothes. This is for two reasons: either because they can limit the personal danger that we run from the stand on a street badly lit, both by the fact that they, where they have not wearing the vest.

The resulting flap, on the one hand, is a likely increase in turnover, since these prostitutes become more visible shot, just like a lit glass per day during the Christmas season. On the other side, however, this vision with reflective material implies their greater exposure and visibility, even those who are malicious, and a compelling cover the forms of your body: unless to sell low-cut jackets. What do you say: approved this choice of the Spanish country or feel wrong?

5/8/2015 - Higher fines required for lack of reflective material

Night driving is not always a pleasure. If you do not move the highway, expressway, or the newly renovated main road, we have to prepare not only on the ruts and holes, but also the lack of shoulders and white lines defining the boundary between the roadway and shoulder. In such conditions, outside built-up, on unlit roads, riding with the prescribed speed is almost a lottery. If the goes dressed in dark man, even though the lights to see him only from a distance of 20-30 meters. Going 90 km / h in seconds needed to react to danger by pressing the brake or twist the wheel, beat 25 meters. Chance of avoiding such a person is so close to zero. If the pedestrian is wearing flares, it will be noticed from a distance of about 130-150 meters, and it gives the driver six seconds to react. Therefore, it passed legislation mandating wearing reflective material.

To have them in a prominent place will be obliged all pedestrians located on the road after dark outside built-up. Today, such an obligation is only children under 15 years of age. Glare will not have to wear a walking at night on the sidewalk or road intended exclusively for pedestrians, as well as moving in the residential zone. The new rule, which will enter into force on 31 August 2014 year divided society. On the one hand, it evokes satisfaction drivers who stop to worry about offsetting the observed fact that at the last minute a man, on the other, causing strong opposition pedestrians.

You refer to police statistics. According to the report of the Police Headquarters for 2,013 years is 9.5 thousand. Accidents involving pedestrians that took place then, only 114 happened on roadsides. For comparison, at pedestrian crossings were as many as 3.4 thousand. Opponents of the new regulation also argue that even leaving the house for the day and planning to return at night, they will take with them a reflective vest. For the sake of accuracy we announce that to meet regulatory requirements sufficient reflective material such as wristband or pendant. What threatens those who ignore the new requirement?

When in 2013 the deputy’s lays down the rules, their actions motivated primarily to promote safe behavior. Not specified so any penalty to threaten pedestrians without glare. Paradoxically, such an expression of courtesy with respect to the Poles could turn against them. - The police wear reflective tapes on uniform probably will enforce the rules on general principles, and in accordance with Art. 79 Code offenses violating other traffic participant’s traffic regulations or issued on the basis thereof, may be fined up to 3 thousand. Gold - says Gabriela Pawls- of the Krakow Law Firm Attorneys and Legal Advisors.

The new provision will apply from 31 August 2014. Although it is difficult to imagine that the police punished the pedestrian lighthearted horrendously high fines, you'd better stock up in advance reflective tape. Let's do this not only because of the threat of punishment to us, but mainly due to their safety.
