The children of the Harpstedt Kita Dwarf Nose are now a bit safer if they move in the public traffic area. The County of Oldenburg took care of that: He dressed all 42 girls and boys in safety vests sew on reflective tape. The neon yellow vests were financed out of the pot for traffic immunities (fines) - in the end, by traffic offenders.
On request, you can also equip other kindergartens in the district of Oldenburg with safety vests, offered Siegfried Blum, head of the Road Traffic Office in the county house in Wildeshausen. The first corresponding request had its authority recently received from the Harpstedter Waldburg kindergarten. As requested, the Waldburg lettering was also printed on the garments.
The Kita Zwergnase has now received the second delivery - because there is no logo here, these vests remained unprinted. Both deliveries would have struck together with about 500 euros to book, said the head of the authorities.
That the money is well spent, is synonymous for Samtgemeinde mayor Herwig Wöbse out of the question. Especially in the dark season, it is important to be seen.
Siegfried Bluhm hopes that the investment will send a message to the parents, an incentive to wear jackets with reflective colors or safety vests. "What good does it do to me when the gravestone says," He was well dressed, but you could not see him, "Bluhm pointed out.
Together with his colleague Marion Einemann, the head of the department gave a brief overview of the preventive measures financed from the pot for fines. All in all, it's about 30,000 euros a year.
A field of application: the safety training for young drivers, whereby the district takes over a very substantial part of the costs.
Another field is driver safety training for seniors over the age of 65, which, for example, shows what has changed in traffic law - and in which half-hourly driving tests point to quirks that have crept in over the years. Also, the loan of the rollover simulator of the city-Oldenburg road safety or traffic education measures in schools is made possible with the money from the fines pot.
