Children will be safer with lighting

City guards in safety vest want to improve the safety of children on the road. They started the glare deal. During meetings with children the guards talk about safety rules and explain to them what dangers lay ahead.

- Some of the schools are located in villages, especially there can be dangerous situations, says Andre, city commandant. - This is to improve safety. We conduct mainly in primary school. City guards in reflective uniform also meet with preschoolers.

All kindergartens from the municipality have also received reflective vests for the toddlers. "This will make the preschoolers' walks more secure," adds Korma.

What do you need and what should you have in the car

First aid kit, fire extinguisher and reflective vest in some countries are required, others are not. How is the situation in Poland? What every driver must have in the car and what penalties threaten to disobey the rules?

According to the regulations, a fire extinguisher and warning triangle with an approval mark must be present in each vehicle. No fire extinguisher can result in a mandate of 20 to 500 zł. A police officer can also punish a driver if the fire extinguisher is not in a place where there is no easy access, so it should not stick in the trunk. Interestingly, we are not threatened with a mandate if its usefulness has expired. Fire extinguishers should be inspected at least once a year and the extinguishing agent content must not be less than 1 kg. No fire extinguisher can also contribute to the negative result of the vehicle's technical inspection.

A warning reflective triangle with a valid approval mark must be present in each vehicle. According to the tariff for non-signaling or incorrect signaling of a stopover due to its damage or accident threatens 150 zł or 300 zł. The triangular must also be marked with the vehicle that is towed - in the absence of this marking, a mandate of 150 zł.

In Poland, possession of a first aid kit in a car is not necessary, but useful. You never know when it will be helpful, especially since first aid is compulsory in our country. What should be found in it? It is worth investing in a first aid kit that includes bandages, gas compresses, patches and dressings, compression band, disinfectant, mouthpiece for artificial respiration, protective gloves, triangular scarf, thermal blanket, scissors, safety pins and first aid instructions. Having a first aid kit is mandatory for those who carry people - taxi drivers, bus drivers and even driving instructors.

It may also be useful to wear a reflective yellow vest. It does not take up much space and is especially valuable in the event of an accident or minor repair on the roadside, such as a wheel change. It is also good to have tools that will allow you to do this yourself. Additional equipment includes a towing cable, a spare bulb or CB radio or a mobile alternative to Smartphone.

Some safety equipments that you should have in your car

In the car we carry a lot of things. Which safety equipment should you have in your car? Here are the most important and essential things that should be in it.

This is a device that is legally required in every vehicle. The fire extinguisher in which we should equip our car is the type of ABC that is most commonly used. It is true that one fire extinguisher cannot extinguish a fire, but it will do well in minor emergency situations, and it will also help when waiting for the arrival of a fire brigade. Remember to have the fire extinguisher in good working order, as well as to place it in an easily accessible location.

Warning triangle

This is another piece of equipment that you must have on board. It increases safety while unexpectedly stopping the vehicle on the roadside or roadway, informing other drivers that something unexpected has happened. Let us also remember about the proper placement of the sign in emergency situations. In the built-up area it is 1 meter behind the car, in the inbuilt area at a distance of 30-50 meters, while on a fast road about 120 meters.

Spare wheel or repair kit

At present, manufacturers often choose to place smaller and lighter repair kits. It is worth remembering to have at least one of these things in the car. You never know when a punctured tire can happen, and calling for help can cost us a lot of money and time.

Tire pressure gauge

From 2014, all new cars should be equipped with a built-in tire pressure measuring device. What if we have an older vehicle that does not have it? It is worth getting a portable pressure gauge. Incorrect tire pressure is one of the main reasons for increased fuel consumption in your car. It should also be noted that incorrect pressure causes much faster tire wear. By storing the manometer in the car we are able to check the pressure level in the wheels at any time.

First aid kit

It is not required to have a first aid kit in a vehicle in Poland. However, this is a necessity when you want to go to other countries where this type of equipment is necessary in the vehicle. These are, among others. However, it should be borne in mind that random situations on the road often occur and we may need basic medical elements, either as witnesses or witnesses.

Glass scraper

The Polish climate can move from extreme to extreme. Although the spring weather is approaching us with great strides, they can still catch us frostbite. The humid air with a negative temperature causes that the scraper will allow us to travel faster. Scrapers are small, so they do not take up too much room in the car, and they will certainly be useful in emergencies.

Replacement fluids for vehicle

Always keep spare tire fluid in the trunk, especially in the winter, when the amount of mud falling from under the wheels of other cars will cause significant use. If you drive an older car, it is also a good idea to bring extra engine oil with you. These cars tend to leak oil so that we may not have time to notice when the warning light comes on. Replacement oil for the engine should be sufficient to safely reach the nearest workshop.

Fuses and light bulbs

Having spare fuses and light bulbs should help in emergencies. In the event of a failure of one of them, the continuation of our journey becomes burdensome or impossible. Both things are small enough that they do not occupy a lot of storage space. We also need to get acquainted with the exchange of these items, because sometimes their complicated assembly or disassembly (especially first time) can cause us any problems.

Safety Vest

Good visibility, especially at night or during bad weather, is the basis. Do not save on your safety or the safety of others. In emergency situations, such as changing the wheel at the side of the road, having a reflective vest is essential.

Car charger for phone

The modern world is dominated by mobile devices. In emergencies, such as witnessing an accident or other incident, we may need access to the phone. In such situations, you should have a charged phone. However, we must remember not to use mobile devices while driving.

Being equipped with these 10 things, we can go on a leisurely journey.

Police in safety vest control abroad

The holiday season is a big step, so it is time to travel around Poland and other countries. It is important to know what safety equipment must be on board our car during police inspections. It is important to remember that the requirements in Poland and abroad are very different.

Both in our country and abroad, we must be supplied primarily with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Importantly, both components must bear the approval mark. Without a fire extinguisher and a triangle, there is a mandate risk of 20 to 500 zł. The fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be used immediately if necessary. The extinguishing agent content must be not less than 1 kg.

In Poland there is no requirement for a first aid kit and reflective vest, but it is certainly worth having in your car, for your own safety and for others. These elements are compulsory in the vast majority of EU countries, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Germany or Slovakia. Interestingly, in the latter vest is also required for the passenger.

Drivers often forget about the proper marking of the vehicle's stoppage (during a malfunction or catching a rubber). For missing or incorrect signaling of the stoppage you have to pay a penalty of 150 zł, and on the motorways the tariff is expected to double the amount. This also applies to the marking of a towed vehicle.

France, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and Slovakia - spare bulbs and safety vests are required in these countries. In France you also need two disposable breathers for the driver and the passenger. In Spanish we need spare glasses if we have information on mandatory use of glasses in our driving license.

Running and cycling at night with reflective material

When cycling or running at night, take care of your own safety. Visibility on the road will provide clothing with reflective tape or special stickers, tape or wrist bands to reflect light. The duty of lighting the bicycle is based on the rules of the Road Code.

Belts, tapes, reflective stickers or vests can be purchased in hypermarkets, bicycles, motorized and sports stores, on the Internet or even at gas stations. Single glare is about 2-6 gold. A reflective vest costs about 10 zlotys.

Running in the dark - clothes, tapes, reflective bands

Smaller pistons in the streets or lack of time for daytime training are some of the reasons for running at night. Decide on your activity after dark, you should take care of your own safety. Visibility on the road will provide glare. Useful accessories for runners are, for example, reflective wristbands or self-adhesive tapes that can be glued to clothing. When shopping for sportswear (trousers, jackets, blouses, sweatshirts), choose models that already have reflective elements on. Stickers reflecting light on legs or arms will make the runner visible to the driver of the car from a distance of 200 meters.

Running at night in the woods - a running torch

A headlamp will be useful during night training on uneven and completely undisturbed terrain, such as in the woods. The lamp is mounted on the head, you do not have to hold it in your hands while running, and its light falls precisely in front of the runner. It is good to stock up on spare batteries. It's wise to go for group work, and if that's not possible, just run the paths that you learned during the day. It is also worth mentioning the family or roommates where they go and have the GPS enabled on the phone. It is best to run in the woods when it is dry. Overcrowding on slippery mud or leaves can end up in an injury.

Bicycle lighting - recipes

The most important element of bike equipment at night is lighting. A cyclist who uses roads is required to follow road rules. According to the Road Code, the bike should be equipped with at least one front position light (white or yellow selective). At the rear, the vehicle must have a positioning lamp and reflective reflector other than a triangle. Both rear bumper lights should be in red. To be more visible on the road at night, the cyclist may additionally wear headlamps on the head. Just remember that it cannot be mounted less than 25 centimeters and higher than 1.5 meters from the surface of the road.

Should a cyclist have a vest?

In the light of traffic laws, reflective vests are not compulsory during bicycle journeys. The cyclist should, however, have reflective elements on the garment or the helmet, such as stickers, tapes, bands. In addition, stickers or bicycle wheels can be added to reflect light.

Enjoy running with safety and comfort

In our mosaic of running shorts mosaic, another piece is growing. In the upcoming summer heat, the runner would not wear himself or anything else. Compared to others, however, these reflective shirts have one distinct difference - the inner part of natural materials. Would you appreciate it?

As well as the other shorts, these are also those of today's fashionable "two in one" category .The outer, loose black shorts are made of 100% polyester, they look very simple, but only at first glance, let's leave the reflective logo of the manufacturer at the bottom of the left Trousers that contribute to better visibility in the dark, and on both sides we find ventilation holes cut by laser, their ends are not shaken and do not tend to tear, but what personally surprised me on the outer layer of the shorts are the pockets.

Basically, whenever I run, I wonder where to put the keys - and I want them to be nice under the zipper. I want to be quickly accessible and securely stored, for example, not to jump into the nettles until I have a steep hill. Apparently somebody at Icebreaker can read my thoughts because they've got their new shorts turned exactly in that direction. In the middle of the back is a zipper pocket with reflective fabric. Just next to it a cross-pocket with an elasticized trim that holds all the contents inside. Beauty! Finally, one of the manufacturers realized that one pocket-sized pocket with a single key is really little for today's runner-up to see the latest trends.

My enthusiasm for these guys went inward. There you will not find a conventional synthetic cloth, but merino wool. Over 60% wool in combination with other natural material Tinsel supplemented with nylon and lira to make it all springy. And the wave is so important on the inner slips. First of all, you have plenty of natural material on your body and you enjoy all the benefits of merino wool - good thermoregulation in winter and heat, good moisture removal and, above all, natural antibacterial. So you do not smile right after half an hour of training as a raccoon bag. The wool liner is cleverly pulled over the top seam of the trousers. Even in the most challenging parts of the upper hem you touch the natural material.

Everything in place should hold an elastic waist and a stretch elastic web. And that was the source of my biggest disappointment. The idea is good - the cloth should not stick to the hips and clutter you like a steel hoop oak barrel for wine. Even in practice, it turns out that the cloth is too elastic. I need to pull it off a lot to hold on to my character. The bobbin is very long and it's not easy to orient it when you need to loosen the laces. The elasticity of the laces does not know the limits, so when the shorts are optimally held and I put in the keys and the phone, my shorts start to get out of my hips in the direction of gravity after a short time. And that's not entirely good (especially for those innocent girls in the parks).

Overall, however, I rate the shorts very positively. Finally, some of the pleasant natural reflective materials, in addition, are extremely functional and do not require too much a washing machine. I'll swap the string for some stronger and get out of it - we'll be experiencing the full crossover summer in my dear presence.

Reflective element is important at the dark

When Liberty, as the translation of their original name, got into my hand, the orange-yellow translucent outsole caught me immediately and saliva sprang from the corner of my mouth. These boots with reflective material in my mind opened some long-buried door, behind which the memories of almost four decades crashed. Drive around in town, roundabout, shooting range, sugar wool. I'm yelling, yes, that's the thing that reminds me of the outsole! I just slowly and reluctantly pull my denture rubber out of the rubber outsole and realize that I should rather run in my shoes. It was worth it? Was it an experience? Was it going to be a serious gang?

Without wanting to be somehow unhealthy pathetic, the Saucing manufacturer in Indian America has been making me very happy lately. In the winter season with its Red-Black Razor warriors and now this?! That shoe is beautiful, no one. But she is so healthy. From the first few miles I notice that my legs are working differently. They leap from the asphalt as if they were an antelope. Something must be with that sole!

Cheap Chinese running shoes from the Internet are not worth it

I've already noticed that Saucing is not afraid to go into anything altogether differently than everyone else. This applies immediately to the uppers. "Knit" (a highly structured "knit" fabric, durable, adaptable, often from a single yarn) is used today by anyone who wants to stand in the world of running. But here they go on their own. A single toe passes into eleven protrusions that form a catch system for flat laces. The futuristically exfoliated language actually creates its entire unified platform, protruding from below and embracing the entire instep. He does not have the chance to move, jerk and make mischief while running. After shopping, the bag will surprise you with a pair of laces. You can replace the standard turquoise under the yellow, nicely matching the yellow part of the outsole.

The boot is built mainly for those with neutral upsurge (and inclination to minimalism). The tip is wide enough, knitting the upper adjusts to the leg. The heel is supported only very softly - soft and pleasant support frames. The tip is reinforced with a protective rubber spray. The manufacturer has not even conspired on reflective elements, which on this shoe are, at first glance, very unobtrusive. In the light of the darkness, the pair of relatively large reflective logos on the sides of the shoe and one on the heel instantly blinks out of the darkness.

The sole is probably the most interesting on the shoe. When you overcome - like me - the initial desire to eat it, you will find that it is from a well-balanced rubber (the manufacturer always tells it) and Freedom is the first of the collections that have it all along the shoe. What do I think of a "balanced" rubber? Good shock absorption combined with a good response, reflection from the pad to the impact, all the talk about energy recovery, energy saving, wonderful reflective element and more you understand exactly when you call Freedom and run as if you are The hips had a hump, and yes, another reminiscence in the pilgrimage: Hopper a small rubber ball, which when you hit the ground in a small enclosed room, you enjoyed a lot of fun.

Overall, Freedom’s aesthetics are very erratic, and running is simply rewarding. If the distinctive hop effect lasts for the lifetime of the shoe (and there is nothing to suggest that it should not be), it will be a great deal. The look looks quite robust, but the weight is actually pleasantly low. Over a hundred miles, he left little traces on the outer edge of the soles and under the knuckles of his fingers. Overall, I rank this product into the "boot to eat" category, and I think it's right, a very comfortable, fast shoe that looks good too, and so its price will probably be the only thing that brothels you. Seriously enough, but what if the price is balanced by a good deal?

Eight tips for running safety at night

Going out for a night jog can be one of the funniest and at the same time uncommon experiences that runners can experience. But there are some risks at night since the light is not enough without reflective tape. As simple as that sounds, doing it involves putting on your sneakers and going out to train under the moonlight. To this end, there are a series of recommendations that you can never revise and remember so that the bullfight becomes an encouraging experience.

• Ideally, go out with some reflective vest and colored garments to be seen. Darkness can cause a runner not to be warned by motorists, cyclists or pedestrians.

• If you choose places without much light, it is better to carry a small portable light. There are many types that can be placed in the body and do not weigh.

Eight tips for running at night

You should wear appropriate clothing to be seen.

• If it is by route, always choose the direction against the traffic, so that you can see what is ahead and also be seen by the motorists.

• It is always more convenient to go out in known places, not too isolated and to recognize the terrain.

• If possible, it is best not to go out alone. Even if it is a complicated schedule, it will be difficult to find a partner...

• Much more attention should be paid than running during the day. Fatigue and distractions can lead to accidents and injuries.

• There are many gadgets that can be used to charge the cell phone. With fewer people on the street, it will be important to have it handy in the face of any inconvenience.

• As with the cell phone, wearing some personal identification inside the safety clothing will be important.

To be seen from afar with Helmet and reflective vest

The cyclist Bautista, 37, wear reflective clothing, died early yesterday after being hit by a vehicle that was fled. The sportsman, an amateur from small to the bike, was hit against the protective fence of the highway of Toledo (A-42), which made him lose almost in the act the life. It was a brother of the victim who recognized him in the same place of the incident. About five hours later, the Civil Guard of Traffic arrested the alleged author of the accident, a truck driver from the municipality of Hernia.

All life on two wheels

"Oscar had had some scares with the cars, but never anything serious that made him leave the bike. He was in love with her and did not leave her at all." This was expressed yesterday Luis, the brother of the cyclist who died after being hit by a truck driver on the Toledo highway.

Born on January 3, 1976, Oscar Bautista was married and had a nine-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son. He resided in the Toledo municipality of Yelets, as well as part of his family. In his Facebook account, he kept some photos of some important climbs he had done in his career, such as the climb to the top of bisque, one of the mythical summits of the Tour.

Oscar worked in Balata, Bautista and sons, a family business founded more than 30 years ago by the victim's father. "He always came and went on a bike, because he was very comfortable and it was not an especially long ride. It had become his great passion, "explained his brother Luis.

"I feel a lot of helplessness and indignation over the way he has died. You can run over a person, but at least I could have stopped to help you, "he continued in a telephone conversation with this newspaper.”I nevertheless cannot believe that. I work with him every day and it will be very hard to have to face the day to day without being at my side as always, "he added. Soon, the arrest of the alleged author of the accident, the truck driver of Heritage, was confirmed.

Oscar Bautista always used the bicycle to move from his home in Yelets, in the province of Toledo, to his family's industrial building, dedicated to the repair of bumpers, in the polygon of Las Agendas, in Torreon de la Caldara. The distance is about 12 kilometers; and for this athlete it was a small tour. Yesterday, like every day, he wore his helmet and reflective vest to be seen from afar. In addition, he had installed a taillight in the saddle.

Civil Guard sources explained that the use of motorways by cyclists is prohibited, except in the case that there are no alternative routes nearby. Only and exclusively they can circulate by the shoulder without entering in the lanes destined to the rest of users, like the automobiles.

At 7.37 yesterday, the emergency services received the call of a person who said that a man was lying in the gutter, on the entrance lanes, at the height of kilometer 28.6 of the Toledo highway, in the term of Torreon de la Caldara. When the emergency services and the Civil Guard of Traffic came, they realized that it was a cyclist.

The first investigations indicated already from the beginning to which some vehicle had hit him laterally and had projected against him to the quarters. That caused him serious injuries and left him lying on the asphalt. The physicians of a mobile UVI of the Summa appreciated throughout the body and certified his death, according to an emergency spokesman 112.

Luis, one of Oscar's three brothers, recognized the corpse in situ. He also went to the family business, which was less than 500 meters away, along the deviation to the industrial zone. The accident had happened a few minutes ago. "When I saw the clothes with reflective tape on the floor, I realized that he was my brother. I stopped and made myself available to the Civil Guard, "Luis explained.

To the place moved the holder of the Court of Instruction number 6, that yesterday morning was on guard. He ordered the removal of the body and the transfer to the Anatomical Forensic Institute, in the University City, where the autopsy was performed.

Don’t be the main road victims

San José, April 5 Of the 126 road traffic fatalities in Costa Rica in the first quarter of this year, 54 were motorcyclists, representing 43 percent of the total, said Mario Calderon in reflective uniform, director of the Police of Transit.

In a press conference, Calderon described the statistics as very regrettable, since they reveal 14 motorcyclists who died in traffic accidents between January and March 2017, compared to the same period last year.

'When we analyze the data, we dimension the problem in all its magnitude. Motorcyclists killed on the road doubled those killed in a car in 2017. Last year they tripled them, "said police chief.

Those 54 dead on the roads represent more than 15 per month, said Calderon, who insisted on the need for information campaigns to reduce this scourge in Costa Rica, which shows a worsening since 2014.

He recalled that the Road Safety Council recently issued a very strong campaign on the need for motorcyclists and their companions to wear helmets.

However, he continued, in the first two months of this year we imposed a thousand 67 fines for not carrying it and 797 for not wearing clothing or reflective vests, attachments that can avoid collisions or serious damage to the injured.

Stacy will provide reflective vests and safety boots to the toilets

The Primary Care Management of León has a period of 60 days to deliver continuous personal care equipment to individual health personnel, such as reflective waistcoats or safety boots, so that they can attend traffic accidents. After the complaint filed last April by the nursing union Sates, the Labor Inspection and Social Security of León obliges Stacy to provide the toilets of these equipment that they use when they should attend someone outside the health centers. "It is incomprehensible that Stacy endangers its professionals, when these endowments of material must be foreseen in each fiscal year," the union said.

In its resolution, the Inspectorate of Labor notes that it contacted the Primary Care Manager of León, Concepción Dominguez, who stated that, since there was no budget item to purchase this reflective material, he transferred to the central services to carry out the management from the Ministry of Health.

According to the union explained in a press release, sources from the Ministry said that the centralized order had already been carried out, so the resolution urges the Primary Care Manager to deliver the staff within 60 days Which carries out continuous care in the health centers of Leon of the individual protection equipment necessary for the development of its functions.

In this regard, Sat recalled that, since the adoption of the Law on Measures in 2012, Stacy "does not give nurses the necessary clothing to make their outings for home care or to go to the emergency room as a traffic accident." In this line, the union denounces that, since the recent transport competition of 2016, "nurses, who have joined the health centers, lacking these reflective clothes, must do their work with their own."
