A kayak with high-visibility colors and reflective material

Coast Guard crews were notified early Sunday morning that a 55-year-old kayaker had left from Bear Creek ramp near Hoboken and was late on his return time.

A crew from Station Hoboken and a helicopter crew from Air Station Elizabeth City launched to help search efforts with North Carolina Wildlife, Pamlico County Sheriff’s department and Pamlico County Emergency Management personnel.

The Pamlico Emergency Management boat crew located the kayaker with his kayak partially submerged. The kayaker was found without any working means of communication, reflective vest, high-visibility colors or reflective material on kayak. The man was also suffering from cold and wet exposure.

The man was transferred to local EMS and released shortly after. 

“Wearing a safety clothing while out on the water may be the difference between life and serious injury or death in an emergency,” Cmdr. Matt said. “Kayakers should also carry a VHF-FM radio and a cell phone in a waterproof container to alert authorities quickly if assistance is needed.”

Safe on the move

There are institutions whose work is important, but which are sometimes not properly perceived by the citizens. This includes the roundabout Cobourg. As Chairman Duo said the Annual General Meeting, the German Traffic Watch is one of the oldest and largest citizen initiatives in Germany. Since its founding in 1924, it has been committed to road safety. "About half of the 180 members of the Cobourg watchdog volunteer support authorities, schools, kindergartens and the police," the chairman announced. Duo proudly reported that the Cobourg youth group was the "largest Bavarian road patrol".

The fact that work is required for traffic safety makes it clear that the number of accidents has risen for the fourth year in a row. "The number of fatalities has increased in recent years," Duo knew. The roundabout wants to counteract this trend with actions such as "Safe to school, safe home", with a driving training course, accident prevention training or the "Safe on the move" campaign. And also tell people about the importance of wearing reflective vests or reflective tapes when going outside at night.

As Chairman Duo showed that the construction and disposal company in the city of Cobourg the Traffic Watch a "not inconsiderable bill" for the attachment of the traffic light signs "Only on the green". As a success, the program "expertise through experience" could be booked. A total of 90 courses were 299 young drivers trained. "Unfortunately, only a fraction of novice drivers accept the offer," said Duo. It can also be seen from the fact that the work of the youth policy is very important to the traffic police, that the traffic cadets have been provided with EU-compliant safety clothing - 22,500 Euros.

The roundabout also invested time and energy in Traffic education in the schools, in the education of student guides and in the training of the bicycle license.


At the meeting, it was decided to set up reserves and use them for the renewal of equipment for driving safety training and for the upcoming removal costs if the premises on the former BGS grounds can no longer be used.

High school students, their connected clothes will save lives

At the end of May, in Toulouse, high school students will present at the final of the Genial contest, connected safety clothing dedicated to improving the safety of road users.

Supervised by Sylvie Turban, professor of SVT (Science and life of the Earth) and Arnaud Vetter, professor of physics-chemistry, about twenty students of 1st high school Andeans worked on a project connected clothing as part of the personalized support.

How to improve the safety of road users by making them visible when necessary, using connected clothes? : that was the guiding thread of the gait.

Based on two different situations, high school students have defined two projects: "a vest that indicates the direction the cyclist will take, such as a flashing car, and a hi vis vest that makes visible the roadside worker when a car enters a work zone.

In both cases, the work process was identical: define the needs by interviewing potential users; search for technical means to respond to them, using Adriano and various use sensors; make a prototype.

During the design of the garment, we took the original idea of a yellow reflective vest by modifying it so that it is safe and more visible to motorists.

Flashing LEDs have been added to the vest. "say the young designers. The interviews they had with the future users allowed them to define the device. In one case, a Lily Pad in the upper back that will be used to program the LEDs to be used as turn signals and buttons on the sleeves to operate the Lily Pad. In the other, an ultrasonic transceiver on a panel to detect a car entering the site, a radio wave transmitter to send the information to the vest, a receiver on the vest that receives the waves radio.


The goal is to offer both projects to a company to get their help and experience, then develop and market them.

Municipality acquired new bicycles with safety equipments

In what was described as a new step towards the sustainable mobility of the commune, the mayor Eduardo Soto in safety clothing gave the official go to this innovative program that proposes to replace the use of the car and promote the network of bikeways in the city.

The building house of Rancagua has about 9 buildings distributed in different points of the commune; all of them accessible through the more than 54 kilometers of bikeways that the regional capital holds. With the foregoing in mind, it is that the mayor Eduardo Soto together with the Secretary of Community Planning, Raimondi Agility, promoted the idea that their officials could move between these points through the use of bicycles.

With an investment of close to 10 million pesos, the municipality acquired 25 new bicycles with a unique design and with all the available safety equipment (helmet, padlocks, lights and even a reflective vest), which will start this pilot in the municipal building of Plaza Heroes. Moreover, that will soon be replicated in the rest of the institutional establishments setting an unquestionable precedent in terms of the use of ecological and efficient mobility alternatives promoting gradually healthy living and exercise.

On the unprecedented initiative, Eduardo Soto pointed out that after consolidating Rancagua's cycle path network and delivering more than 500 bicycles to different educational establishments. "Today we are in the next stage of being able to use this alternative and sustainable means of transport with our municipal officials of so that many of the trips they make between one building and another and especially those working in the CDC touring the towns and villages can join this campaign called "A pedaling through Rancagua", "he said.

Raimondi Agility, Secretary of Community Planning of the municipality of Rancagua and confessed cyclist, highlighted this new advance in the use of the bicycle and especially in what translates to take a car off the street and replace it with a self-propelled vehicle. "This investment allows convert 25 less cars on the street, that is, 25 officials promoting sustainable mobility to the community and within the same municipality.”

As for those who will make use of modern bicycles and safety equipments, Francisco, sectionalist SECPLAC said, "We are proud to see as a municipality can do powerful and innovative things and we also hope that this will motivate other municipalities to take this witness and advance in this same line of generating alternatives to the automobile.”

Road safety: "Angry Bikers" no longer want to "lock up"

"Luda, the webmaster of the FFMC11, summarized the general observation of those who ride on two wheels without safety vest. Yesterday, there were more than a hundred, from all over the department, for blocking operations inside the city: Lecher roundabouts, Giant Cite 2, Pont-Rouge, and finally Gambetta square.

"It seems that the Audi is not concerned with the establishment of restricted traffic areas, accessible only to cars equipped with the" clean vehicle "pellet, and reserved for cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants," he added. "Nevertheless, mayors of small towns, and villages, have received documentation concerning these areas ... it may also happen in the Audi".

The bikers in yellow vest are also annoyed by this "state which practices more and more the repression" whereas "we propose, us, the bikers, to make the prevention but the government does not care.”

Access 100% local items from € 1 / month
A repression that they believe is akin to tax disguised as "this decision to punish a fine 90 € a biker who does not wear gloves, and all that by making us believe that it is for our safety. They really fancy us! The next will spur in turn in five years. We, the bikers, we will always be there and in France we are 3.8 million.

Clearly, they will not give up the piece "for policies in safety clothing that are next to the plate.” In addition, especially the license plates, which, from 170 by 130 will see its dimensions, go to 210 by 130: "It will be bigger with identical characters. Because the radars will see them better because the reflective system of the plate will be more important..."

Running in the snow with safety

With winter, becoming more and present, snowfall is returning to the territory. Do you want to continue your running sessions to reach your goals? Here are our tips for running when the landscape puts on his white coat with reflective tapes.

Snow is coming to France this weekend. In addition, the consequences on the running outings may be important. For the bravest, the flakes change the landscape, but also the way of running. If you want to continue running despite the weather, here are some reflexes to adopt.

Physical activity in cold weather requires appropriate equipment. In case of heavy snow, equipping your running shoes with crampons or mini-chains is recommended to have a better grip. You can also make the decision to wear two pairs of socks to prevent heat loss in the feet.

For the hands and the head, the question does not even arise, put gloves and a hat. With the night falling early, also think of a reflective vest so that the vehicles can see you. Be seen then, but also think about where you put your feet. For that, do not hesitate to equip you with a headlamp. Something very important on a snowy ground...

A different race pace on the snow
When a white coat covers the ground, we must analyze where we put our feet. The coating may vary without realizing it. The risk of falling or sprain is increased. A sheet of ice or a manhole can be hidden under the snow.

Adopt a stride more relaxed, shorter and more rhythmic to limit the risk of imbalance. If the powder is very important, you will have to raise your knees higher. Because of his adjustments, do not worry if your pace is slower, it is quite normal, especially since the practice of running in these conditions requires a greater work of muscles, and the organization.

Greater energy expenditure under the snow
Before running on the snow, it is best to warm up. The risk of injury, especially muscle, is greater. The practice of sport in the cold requires more energy. So do not hesitate to eat well. Snow requires greater concentration and safer support, so you have to cover the higher nutritional needs so as not to lose your lucidity. Running with safety clothing in the mountains disrupts habits. In cool weather, the sensation of thirst is not felt as much as in the sun, so do not forget to drink and that, even if the feeling of thirst is absent.

Palace miracle: the "vigilant grandparents" return

Within a few hours, the administration resolves the bureaucratic steps related to the transfer of police to the UTI. They have arrived within twenty-four hours: from the next few days, the "vigilant grandparents" in safety vest will be able to return to preside over the pedestrian crossings of the schools and to guarantee the safety of children and families.

"In fact, quickly completed the bureaucratic steps related to the transfer of local police in the UTI - says a statement from the City, the security volunteers will be able to immediately return to service at the entrance and exit from the school complexes.”

"It was a fulfillment required by law, which requires that safety training be redone when the employer changes - explains the mayor of Udine in safety clothing. Already tomorrow, volunteers will be able to integrate the training course previously followed with the City of Udine and to follow will be able to return to service. A valuable contribution that is not so long ago, at the end of October, the city administration wanted to recognize with an official award ceremony of all the volunteers in service.

"What is done for free and with high civic sense by these citizens is a truly valuable service for the community - underlines Mayor. A work not only of street and civic education, but also allowed us to reduce the presence of local police in the school complexes by employing agents in other important areas of intervention.” Please note that for those interested in serving as a reflective vest dressed security volunteer, requests may be submitted in February and in August each year.

The local police will equip new safety vest

The police force will renews the uniforms, weapons, ammunition and acquire bulletproof safety vests. The network allows a coordinated response of the security forces to fires or attacks.

The Local Police has joined the Emergency Radio communication System of the State, Side, which facilitates coordination with security forces and other teams, such as the National Police, Civil Guard, General Directorate of Traffic, DGT, and the Military Emergency Unit, UME, among others.

The announcement was made by the mayor of Caceres at the headquarters of the local police. Since this company is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of this service, it happens throughout the national territory. Guillermo explained that Side is a digital radio communication network «of the State, which operates Telephonic and based on the tetragon standard» like that used by other European countries such as France or Switzerland, set up by the Ministry of the Interior and that covers everything the country. The network is "private, completely outside the networks for public use, a frequency band that is owned by the Ministry is used, which ensures privacy and has a total availability, virtually never falls when there are catastrophes or emergencies", added Santa in safety clothing. The network, therefore, facilitates voice and secure data communications and quality in all types of situations, because it uses a frequency band different from commercial radio networks, which in turn prevents them from being intervened by external agents.

This network facilitates "that each body functions in an independent manner, in this case the Local Police, the National Police, the Civil Guard, but allows much greater coordination in an emergency situation or lack of security," said the director of Telephonic in Extremadura, as well as facilitating the location of terminals. The Ministry of the Interior opens this network to incorporate other administrations. The municipality is the first one that has adhered to Extremadura, where the Board uses it for the 112 Emergency and Emergency Care Center and the Extremadura Health Service. For Elena Nevada, with the incorporation of the local police of Caceres into this system, "the service and the response to the citizen is improved and, therefore, to continue advancing in security".

In particular, the provision to the local police of Caceres has consisted of 51 terminals, 50 of them portable that will carry the agents, and one fixed, two units of vehicles and a Terminal Positioning System. Telephonic has been awarded the support of this service, as well as the supply of devices, the maintenance of the service and the equipment for four years. The cost of this system has been 165,000 Euros, which according to Elena Nevada, "to continue to improve the security of the city and, above all, the response capacity of our local police.” The mayor also stressed that Caceres "is the safest city in Spain and this is due not only to the media but also to the people behind this public service", in recognition of the work of the local police, although "there is no never lift your foot ».

Likewise, in the next few days the agents will be given bulletproof vests, which will be in use before the end of the year. As explained by Mateo, the council "has made a first consignment of 40,000 Euros" for its acquisition, "the goal is that between 2017 and 2018 the entire workforce, when they go out to the street to do operational services, are gifted with protective vests. Although Caceres is one of the safest cities in Spain, Rafael Mateo believes that, at an anti-terrorist level, 4 "nobody is on the sidelines of a possible attack.”

A meritorious behavior with a reflective vest

There is an urgent need for an information campaign on how to overtake a group of cyclists, since ignorance of the norm is greater the older the drivers.

I was driving with my car last Sunday on the PO-308 road and I passed by Covelo, around two in the afternoon. An unexpected retention alerted me. An accident had just happened. No health services had arrived, not even the Civil Guard or even Civil Protection. Only a person with a reflective safety vest in the middle of the road, with an exceptionally meritorious behavior, made signs to us to the vehicles that we circulated towards Monteverdi so that we did not stop before the scene of a person under a car, covered with a blanket, to the one that surrounded other neighbors. Road to the capital and shocked by that fleeting image, passed in the opposite direction, to the scene of the incident, a first ambulance, then another medical zed, then two civil guards on a motorcycle and almost reaching Enrique, the traffic jam team.

How many more deaths will have to occur on the roads for the institutions to face implementing measures that mean an effective reduction of windings to cyclists?
I am afraid that they will dislike as much as I do know that in 2015, 42 cycling fans died, practicing their sport, five of them in Galicia. In addition, in 2016 the cyclists who died in Spain were 33. I did not find the specific data of Galicia, but we all remember the most famous case, the winding that a driver produced to a squad of cyclists, with 2 fatalities and half a dozen wounded. Since then the authorities, particularly both the DGT and the Junta Galicia promised various measures to quell this type of accident. Of all of them, hardly the distribution of reflective vests to cyclists will have begun among some groups of fans of pedal sports. However, performances of greater packaging do not appear.

Urge a campaign to raise awareness and information to drivers about what the rule prescribes: you have to observe a safety distance of one and a half meters to overtake a cyclist and it can be done by invading the opposite lane and in a continuous line as long as there is no traffic car in front. Saving that safe distance is not a whim. Any overtaking that you do not observe carries a risk, because the air generated by the vehicle when it passes the cyclist may displace or knock it down.

Novice drivers are soaked with that knowledge from the driving school. The young and middle-aged keep this rule in mind thanks to being more porous to information. The severe problem is with drivers of very advanced ages. It is not a coincidence that the coiling author last Sunday in Covelo is 82 years old, or that the author of the Oil cyclist squad in March 2016 was 87 years old.

Collectives such as Stop Accidents Galicia have repeatedly claimed that after 65 years, drivers are forced to a recycling that entails relearning the regulations. The cycling collectives such as Monteverdi and all those that move hundreds of fans every weekend or holidays, have been crying for years to launch a campaign so that drivers in safety clothing know how to overtake a group of cyclists.

Also, the institutions announced that as much for this casuistry as for the eruption of older drivers on highways and motorways in the opposite direction, the tests of the psychotherapist required for the renewal of the card would be hardened. Unfortunately, the statistics do not yet reflect a corrective effect.

Get out of the car and do not need to wear the reflective vest

In this second season, the picturesque Xavier Sale is demonstrating a fantastic progression. Now his colorful Americans have gained in phosphorescence and luminosity. In the event of a nighttime car breakdown, they are ideal: you get out of the car and do not need to wear the reflective vest. The themes he develops are also presenting them with a much more impressive exhibition punch. His love for being original and eater to the staff advances.

In the first installment, he launched the question: Does Leo Messy charge too much. It did not finish defining itself or clarifying it, but it launched a colossal idea: if 200 million people in the world see and enjoy every goal that Leo does, they should pay one euro each, just as when they enjoy the pleasure of having a cup of coffee. That is, Messy should enter, on average, 200 million Euros a week. Oh! I do not know if the idea is going to prosper, but certainly in Leo's house reigns considerable joy.

This week, this iridescent economist has explained to us the truth of what happened between David and Goliath. It turns out that Goliath suffered gigantism. He was huge with wear safety clothing, heavy, and not very agile, a brain tumor that imprisoned his optic nerve. He was more myopic than Mango. He thought that they would fight in a hand-to-hand fight, but the cunning David changed the rules: instead of fighting in infantry plan, he did it as an artilleryman. Goliath received the stone practically without knowing who was in front of him.

Oh! It is an ingenious theory. Room Martin in yellow vest said he had learned it from Malcolm Glad well. I know the books of this journalist, currently in 'The New Yorker'. It has a barbarous success. His hypothesis on 'David & Goliath', which has been best-selling book, presented, in 2013, at the Ted Salon in New York. His intervention is on YouTube. It takes four million visits. The prodigious thing is how Sale has memorized it. It has mimicked even Glad well’s intonation and pauses.

Safety vest workwear for worker’s safe

Perhaps the workplace of the 33-year-old is the hottest of the city on this day, for which the German Weather Service yesterday issued a heat warning. It may be hotter, perhaps, only at the blast furnaces of the steelworks, Menninger suspects. His colleagues and he paved the track of the line 4 with wear safety clothing, they have been there since seven o'clock, and only the trees at the edge donate some shade. "180 degrees from below and 30 degrees from above," says the wheel loader, whose taut upper body is strongly browned. He usually wears a cap at such temperatures, but he also wants to brown his face evenly.

Menninger wears sunglasses and uses sun cream; many of his colleagues do not. He is in a good mood - although his shift is twelve hours long and not until 19 hours. There is only one thing that really upsets him: "You're always hot." Henning eats lye sticks to restore to his body the salt he loses by sweating. For breakfast, there was watermelon, "what refreshing". Breaks do not make Henning more often than on other days - the pressure is great on the construction site, when the summer holidays are over, it has to be finished.

"We have to get out of our way for five minutes every now and then," Kendal Celia says, working a few hundred yards further along the tracks and dragging straight on the curb. He pulled out his T-shirt; he wears the safety vest over the free upper body. He drinks four liters a day, says Celia. Sometimes his colleague’s splash and he is wet with the water of a hydrant to cool down. "Otherwise, there is no way to get fresh." The 34-year-old buys his drinks in the supermarket a few meters further. Some companies, such as the Bremen-based Mercedes-Benz plant, supply their employees with free mineral water in summer. Or they place fans in the workrooms. This is not possible at the construction site. While his employer provides additional water, Kendal Celia says - "but that is too far away". Weaknesses had already existed on the construction site, because suddenly there was a long one.

From the construction site to the seniors' home: here, too, sweats are being made, and here too many of the inhabitants wear kepi like the construction workers and eat melons. To drink a lot, that's the most important, says David. "There are inhabitants who love the warmth and sit in the blazing sun," says the nursing manager of the Evangelical Deaconess Mother's House in Bremen. Older people often felt no thirst and often forgot to drink. Even if no one has collapsed in his facility this summer: in the emergency rooms of the Bremen hospitals, there have already been some cases of dehydration in the past few days. Even people who had to deal with cardiovascular complaints because of the heat were taken to the clinics. "Many of the residents complain of dizziness," says Nasik.

"The weather is very demanding for seniors", confirms Antje Sorensen of the Bremer. Especially after the long winter, which fed on the strengths of the high-earned? The house management therefore offers to the inhabitants light soups or cold dishes - they should not lie in the bed despite the warmth. Marlon Henning, the brown-tanned construction worker from the tracks, knows how to end his day after twelve hours in the heat of the heat: "In the lake - or a walk in the forest." The exhaustion, he says, he can only feel later.

Heat warning of the German Weather Service
Wednesday, there is again a heat warning of the German weather service for Bremen. Such a warning is issued if the temperature exceeds 32 degrees Celsius for two consecutive days. However, this threshold is variable. "At the beginning of June, for example, if people are not yet adapted to the temperatures, we are warned at lower values," explains Christina in reflective vest, a medical meteorologist at the German Weather Service. There is an additional condition that must be fulfilled before a heat warning is issued: "At night, it does not cool too much." For cooling means for the human organism the possibility to regenerate itself.

Responsibility for the classmates in safety vest

Eleven school members, ten girls and one boy, received their appointments on Friday after successful training. For this, a safety vest was handed over to everyone, so that the school instructors should be noticed in their assignments and their function should be recognized, according to Natasha Bugler from Wurzburg, the diocesan referees for the school ambulance service.

A medical backpack with dressing material, gloves, respiratory masks, and scissors and so on is deposited in the school. The training took place with the Maltese. Peter Kirchner was the deputy district commissioner.

The training of the school anis from the 8M was divided for the medical service, with theory and case examples, according to Linda, one of the co-initiators. All theory and practice was finished with an examination. Teacher, instructor and diocesan, and, of course, Rector, were delighted that the schoolteachers were so committed and hoped that this will continue. The building is the building of the middle school, with school members providing first aid in the case of accidents and, if necessary, during school holidays.

Natasha in safety clothing still pointed out the first nationwide action night of the Maltese youth. On 21 and 22 November, the dioceses of Osnabruck and Hildesheim will organize this action night, in which all groups, as well as individuals from Maltese youth and schooling services, can participate in services or groups.

For this action night, tasks are sent by e-mail on various topics. Internet access and digital camera and even a personal cuddly toy from each participant the organizers. The tasks should be managed as quickly as possible and creatively. Each photo must be shot and sent to the organizer. By the way there is enough time to make the evening and then the night free. The participants are all in reflective vest, the pictures are judged by a jury. The best group wins a prize.

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.

Cycling safety clothes for preventing traffic accidents

The Spanish clothing brand specializing in premium cycling equipment El Maze, with roots in Toledo in Santa Cruz de la Zara, has launched a new collection of safety clothing under the theme Respect focused on preventing traffic accidents and awareness of cyclists and drivers of Need for mutual respect. The fact is that this project is being carried out at a time when there is a considerable increase in the number of road riders.

According to their promoters, the range, consisting of jersey, culottes, cap, gloves, socks and waistcoat aims, without renouncing the design, to remind all the road users the "priceless value of respect", at a time when Traffic accidents "are multiplying their notoriety worldwide" with celebrities as famous as GP motorcycle champion Nicky Hayden or the winner of a Gyro Michele Scarping.

50% of the profits from the sales of this equipment will go to the Stop Accidents Association, a non-profit organization founded by relatives and friends of victims of traffic accidents. The NGO will allocate these funds to the organization of bike and road education workshops in various schools in the Spanish geography.

"The road education is not only essential, but our best tool to avoid traffic accidents in the future. In our workshops, we encourage the use of bicycles as a means of transport and in the future we can make responsible use of them on the streets of the city, "says Ana Novella, president of Stop Accidents.

An icon that symbolizes respect
The #Respect range combines fluorine and reflective elements with an increasingly shared identity between cyclists and drivers: a large arrow that refers to the meter and a half of distance that should leave the cars when overtaking the bikes. "It is not so much a reflective element as an icon that symbolizes respect, doing things right. More than a demand is a feeling of pride, to know that you are on the side of the good, those who follow the rules and enjoy their passion, "said Gonzalo, spokesman for El Maze.

"That's why," he adds, "we are proud to collaborate with Stop Accidents, an NGO that has been struggling to reduce all kinds of accidents. It has done a very good job, but all help is small and we want to play our part to fight against this great scourge of society: the traffic accidents. "The sets are designed for the practice of road cycling and MTB with high temperatures, with last generation reflective fabric, tight sleeves, breathable sides and non-slip rubber on the bottom.

El Maze store comes from the blog El Tie del Maze that several cycling lovers created years ago to tell their adventures, talk about this sport and share their passion. That's why they took the technical clothing line, tested and high quality.

Equipped triangle and safety vest in an accident

Every year hundreds of thousands of Czechs travel abroad and many of them travel by their own car. The main benefit is the opportunity to go freely anywhere, change places of residence or ride on trips. A worse situation will happen when you encounter some unpleasant situation - accident or theft.

In cooperation with experts from Unique insurance, we bring you a number of tips and tips on what to do and how to maintain if you become a road accident abroad or the thief will steal the vehicle.

Accident: Contact assistance
"If an accident occurs abroad, it is essential to get all passengers of crashed vehicles to safety out of the road as quickly as possible and, if necessary, give them first aid, summon the rescue and properly mark the warning triangle. Involvement must also be fitted with safety reflective vests immediately, "said Eva.

Always contact an assistance service co-operating with the insurance company where you have your car insured. Experts recommend that you enter a contact phone on your mobile phone before leaving. Helpdesk operators can help you not only counsel but actively engage in the entire process of handling an accident with local institutions.

What to do when you cause an accident
If you cause an accident, you are obliged to tell the injured person all important information about yourself and about the vehicle (your name and address, the insurance company with which you are responsible, the car registration number and the green card number, etc.). Along with other participants, you have to fill out the European Road Accident Record form, add an accident plan, and take photo documentation.

Please call local police in accordance with local rules (assistance service will assist you) otherwise you will not agree with the counterparty to interpret the course of the event or not cooperate. "Sign the police protocol only if you agree with the information contained therein, or attach your version of the event. Also ask for the names and addresses of other participants, their insurance for the car, as well as contacts for potential witnesses, "Soda recommended with safety clothing.
After returning home, submit all the documents and photos of your insurance company together with the damage report. The insurer will contact the injured person and deal with the damage.

What to do when you cannot catch an accident
If, on the other hand, you are the injured participant in an accident, practically the same procedure is followed. The owner of the vehicle that caused the collision should report the event in his country to his own insurance company with which he is liable and he / she should deal with the damage according to the documentation.
Upon returning home, you can turn directly to the guilty party's insurance company in his country, or to a national office there.

"If an accident has occurred in the European Economic Area (EU, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein), please contact the Czech Insurers' Bureau. There you will be advised which insurance company is the insurer (partner) of the insurance company in the Czech Republic, "said Soda.
If you apply your claim to multiple places, always tell where else you have already raised it. You are always entitled to one indemnity from the compulsory liability. Multiple payouts per event are unlawful.

Please report theft to the local police and your insurance company
If your car is stolen while abroad, it should be reported to the local police immediately. If you have your car equipped with satellite tracking, contact the insurance assistance immediately after finding it. It can locate your car and find and return you back with local police.

Theft of the car should also be reported to an insurance company in the Czech Republic where you have insurance cover with cover for such a case, at the latest within 14 days of discovering the theft of the vehicle.
If the search is unsuccessful, the police in the country of theft will issue a resolution on the termination of the search. It is necessary to hand over the documents and keys to the car to the insurance company, which will pay you compensation within 15 days of collecting all the documents and terminating the investigation of the insured event.

Theft of things from the vehicle
If your car is stolen from abroad, the event should also report to the local police with safety vest and request a report. The procedure is the same as when the whole vehicle is stolen. Insurance of things in a car differs from the insurer's insurance company. Become acquainted with the offer of individual insurance companies, with the amount of insurance limits and with the exclusions that are not covered by the insurance.
