12/3/2018 - Yellow vest and A2 license required for bikers

Posté sur yellow vest

Since January 1st, motorcycles of more than 106 hp can finally circulate freely in France ... provided to count among the rare models to Euro4 norms, while waiting for the official text ruling on the retrofit! As if this maddening indecision was not enough, 2016 also marks the obligation to hold a yellow vest on motorbikes and scooters and to begin motorcycle training with the A2 license, regardless of age.

 

No, retrofit ... but still more restrictions!

Since the beginning of the year, French bikers can ride on motorcycles whose power exceeds 106 hp - after some three decades unjustly restrained! - Provided that they are equipped with ABS (mandatory in 2016 on all new two-wheelers over 125 cc) and that they meet the Euro4 standard, now imposed on all new models.

 

High visibility vest mandatory for 2 and 3-wheelers

If the government voluntarily stagnates when it comes to giving motorcyclists the freedom to which they have legitimate access (remember that no power constraint is exerted in automobile, whatever the age of the driver or the car), its repressive methods, they do not take any delay!

 

Since January 1, 2016, all bikers and scooters must be in possession of a retro-reflective vest and wear it in case of breakdown or accident.

This obligation does not imply (still?) The wearing of the vest while driving, but to hold a "in a storage of their vehicle (net, trunk)", specifies the official text. In case of control, the fine for lack of vest on board the motorcycle or the scooter is 11 Euros. In addition, if you do not wear it in case of emergency stop, the plum reaches 135 Euros!

 

Two other important details to take into account: From the moment, it is CE approved, this vest "high visibility" may be of a different color than yellow (orange, for example, as those used in public works), even if a large majority of vests sold in the trade adopt the fluorescent yellow. Moreover, a simple armband such as those worn by cyclists is not enough: the decree fixing the terms of this obligation makes explicit mention to a "garment worn on the upper body" type "chasuble, jacket, or safety vest.”

8/3/2018 - Wearing the yellow vest will be mandatory

Posté sur yellow vest

Announced for several months but widely criticized, the decree mandating the wearing of retro-reflective devices was voted. As of January 2013, motorcyclists riding motorcycles or scooters over 125 cm3 will have to wear a yellow vest or armband. The FFMC called yesterday for the mobilization...

 

At the end of the Council of Ministers held yesterday at the Elyse Palace, Interior Minister Claude validated one of the measures announced in the context of the 11 May 2011 IRB and particularly controversial. The voted decree provides that drivers and passengers of motorized two-wheelers of more than 125cm3 will have to equip retro-reflective devices as of 2013...

 

Failure to comply with this legal obligation will be accompanied by a fixed fine of third class (68 Euros) and a withdrawal of 2 points on the driving license. The FFMC reacted by letting it know that it did not intend to let this "measure" go by, which is "tinkered again in haste.” She called yesterday for the mobilization of all her supporters.

 

The FFMC campaign against the law on the wearing of the yellow safety vest in two-wheelers

The essence of the problem is far from new: from the very first announcement, the FFMC expressed its discontent by publishing press releases, launching public poster campaigns (see illustration above) and organizing demonstrations. In response to this call for discussion, the government has simply changed its text ... by turning the vest into an armband.

 

This is the misunderstanding among bikers, who do not need such a measurement for many reasons:

The visibility of motorcyclists on the road is already excellent thanks to the 4 retro-reflective stickers on the helmet (legal obligation), supplemented by the headlights for the nocturnal journeys;

Visibility is not a question of lighting or colors of clothing, but more related to the lack of attention of motorists who have not learned to cohabit with two-wheelers, yet more and more numerous;

Why does the measure apply only to two-wheelers of large displacement, and not to mopeds and 125cc? However, they are the least well trained and equipped...

 

In short, for the FFMC, the government is "next to the plate.” With the presidential elections taking place in the spring, the association will have to act quickly if it wants to have a chance to see the government backtrack. That promises great events!

Posté sur yellow vest

A car hit a 46-year-old cyclist on Thursday night as he drove on the D 606 at Cannes, towards Villeneuve. He had to be transported to Paris in critical condition. "He was not wearing a helmet and just had a small reflective vest. His bike was not lit, regrets a police officer. This accident could have been avoided."

 

The driver of the car, a 54-year-old resident whose consumption of alcohol or narcotics was negative, saw him at the last moment. He violently hit her from behind. He then went around three times with his car, at the Brio Depot store, to find the victim and help him while awaiting the arrival of the helpers. Both were returning from a day's work.

23/1/2018 - Should an orange or yellow vest be in the car?

Posté sur yellow vest

Many people spend their holidays on their own cars. However, if you want to get all right, you should check several things before going on. Should an orange or yellow vest be in the car? That was what experts in the breakfast with New.

 

"Before the trip, you should always check the vehicle itself, if you have the right fluids, it is technically correct. If you have the right equipment, even if we have the Geneva Convention that says the vehicle is to be equipped according to the place of registration, the country in question does not have to be a compulsory piece of equipment," says Pert of the Central Automobile Club.

 

Recent discussions have raised the question of the color of the reflective vest. However, according to Womack, it does not matter. "It's just a color, it's a lot of talk about Austria that you need an orange vest, but that's not the case, the vests have European certification, so you can have orange, red or yellow-green," the ÚAMK spokesman explained. In some countries you have to have an alcohol testosterone in your car. Mostly they do not even check it, for example in France.

 

On your way to Croatia, you should pay attention especially to radars. "Radars are waiting for the driver almost every second village in Austria, in Vienna there are radars perhaps 15, it is also measured for every traffic constraint, and the fines are usually 50-100 Euros, from Austria there are photos, for example, for telephoning, non-attachment or for bikers for absence of a safety helmet," Vote said.

 

If you have small children, you should definitely find out what the rules for fixing child seats are. In Croatia, Slovakia or Germany, you cannot have child seats from 3 to 12 years old on the front seats.

Posté sur yellow vest

A dismissal could be the cause of the traffic accident occurred at midnight this Monday in the LZ-301, in the vicinity of Guide, which was seriously injured a cyclist in high visibility vest, according to the Civil Guard shuffles.

 

The man, as Lancelot Digital has learned, is 68 years old, not 75 as reported by 112, and is apparently a doctor residing in Madrid, but who usually travels to Linarite for work reasons.

 

It is not known, however, why he was riding a bicycle on the road at that time of night, although from the Civil Guard they have confirmed that he was wearing a reflective vest. The driver of the car, a neighbor of San Bartolommeo, was given a breathalyzer control and was negative. Hence, it is believed that the cause of the accident was an oversight.

 

As they have moved from the Benefit, the car hit the cyclist in yellow vest from behind, which is classified as a collision by reach, at the height of the 2,200 kilometer of the road. Although from 112 it was reported that the wounded had multiple injuries, from the Civil Guard have specified that he broke his hip.

13/11/2017 - The yellow vest is not very secant

Posté sur yellow vest

With the days that are getting shorter and the weather deteriorating, it becomes important to have good bike lighting for road safety. It is also an obligation to have a white light on the front and a red light on the back of the bike. This week, the Federation of Bicycle Users (FUB) is launching a campaign: "Cyclists, shine!"

 

Bicycle lighting: expert advice

With city lights, the cyclist thinks he is visible to everyone. But the FUB reminds him: "the cyclist without lighting is not visible". At night, or in case of rain, he puts his safety in danger.

 

Bike lighting: assets and liabilities

The lighting called "active" allows both seeing and be seen: it is the actual headlights. The FUB recommends fixed lighting, less subject to theft and more convenient. In addition, a dynamo system is to be preferred: it has "significant advantages: complete autonomy, modest weight, durability, no recycling problem, lower cost of use". It is disadvantage? It stops when you do not pedal anymore. However, many dynamo lights now have a battery.

 

At the back of the bike, favor a "red diode fire" according to the FUB. They are powerful and energy efficient. The equipment can be completed with "passive" lighting: retro-reflective accessories. "It is better to equip the bike first," says the FUB. On wheels and pedals, they are mandatory. It can be added to the frame or panniers, or find a danger retractor.

 

The yellow vest is not very secant, but it is however "mandatory out of town at night or when visibility is insufficient". In town, it is recommended in case of frequent practice of the bike the evening or the night.

 

The local cycling federations organize bicycle lighting awareness events throughout France. Some organize light rides; others distribute lighting kits or reflective vests to cyclists.

6/11/2017 - The yellow vest is mandatory for bikers

Posté sur yellow vest

This is the case for motorists since 2008, now bikers must have a yellow vest at hand, whether on them or in a storage of their vehicle (net, trunk ...). Like 4-wheelers, they will have to carry it when they get off their vehicle following an emergency stop, to improve their visibility. The measure concerns users of mopeds, scooters and motorbikes.

 

Yellow vest for bikers

Among the novelties of this beginning of the year 2016, the obligation for the bikers to own a yellow vest, as the motorists does it since 2008. The safety vest must be worn when the vehicle is stopped for a reason of emergency, breakdown or accident. The goal is to make bikers visible and reduce the risk of accidents. But the measure is not much appreciated by the main stakeholders. Report of Muriel Buzzard, Damien Rabies and Patrick Joann with David Duchesne, motorbike and motorcycle accessories salesman, Michel Huston, biker and Stephan Cretin, biker and driving school manager - France 3 Bourgogne

 

Why bikers are reluctant?

Many bikers do not know the new rules. They think that the yellow vest must be worn permanently, over the motorcycle jacket. It's wrong. The regulations require this vest to always be worn and worn only when the rider is out of the vehicle during a breakdown or accident and is like a pedestrian in danger (on a road , on an emergency stop band...). In case of non-compliance with these new provisions, violators will be liable to a fine of 11 Euros in case of absence of vest on board, and 135 Euros if they do not wear it as a result of a stop emergency.

 

Some also fear that the measure is only a first step and that in the end the port is mandatory as soon as they ride their bike. Nothing allows such a fear. Even in countries where such a measure has existed for longer than us, only possession is mandatory at all times, and wearing safety clothing in case of danger.

 

Finally, for many bikers, especially those who have sports, the problem comes from lack of space: no "glove box", no top box ... little or no seat under the seat ... Highly ultra slim vests to slip in the glove or pocket!

Posté sur yellow vest

60 school starters the Berger-level school have now received safety vests. Carl Metz, Board Member for Transport and Environment at ADAC Württemberg, they initially gave to Headmistress Petra Dreier and Andrea Feuerstein, who is responsible for the city, among other things for the affairs of the schools.
