Specifically, this implement will be asked for all children up to 9 years. "It has to be located in the back seat," said Flores. He also noted that children between 9 and 12 years old can travel without a chair, but always in the back seat, not the passenger.

With regard to the fines reported that are between 66,000 and 140,000 Chilean pesos, between 1,500 and 3,200 pesos, approximately. "In case of violation, what the policeman is entitled to issue the fine and revoke its license. Then the person has to go to a local police court to pay corresponding "explained Flores.

For him, beyond the economic warning it is highly recommended comply with the measure of the chair because it provides care for children.

Another element that is required is the refractory vest as a result of an existing standard since last year, as told the head of the Unit of Border Crossings. "Any vehicle that is in Chile must have a reflective vest it because it is part of the equipment of the car as the kit and spare tire" listed.

Technical review

"With the technical review There has been controversy since it is enforceable if it is in the country of origin" began to explain Flores and clarified that in some provinces are asked and not in others. He also indicated that if the natives can require other provinces where mandatory. "Similarly as in the case of chairs, that requirement will not have to do with the procedure that is done in the border complex, but may be requested on the route," he added.

Trendy Reflective Overalls: inspection worthwhile

Reflective Overalls have filed its former blue-collar image. She has blossomed into a trendy outfit. A modern design and functionality are required, special extras the freestyle.

Even before nearly a decade the worlds of professional clothes were still in order. She was a developed exclusively for work clothes. Outside of the week she was at most worn to provide mutual aid. This chapter is now complete. With the internationalization of the generic name - workwear is now Workwear - the design has changed significantly. The rest is doing the adjustment of coming from the casual fashion functional materials to the significantly harder influences at work. The result is a collection that can be seen.

Schick with extra protection

Despite the diversity of collections, a sporty, modern, high-contrast design, a perfect fit and trendy color concepts run like a thread through the designs of professional fashion designers. An important detail is the wide range of compatibility with other lines. It is due to the increasing desire of the craft by a distinctive outfit. Also reflective tape or reflective piping is some of the current elements of many craftsmen collections.

In addition to their design function they serve the security: they improve the visibility at dusk or in dark work areas. Further, serving to minimize risk Extras is, for example trousers with flame retardant or fluorescent inserts. The former roofer protect against fire hazards, the latter increase the level of attention in a poorly lit environment.

Fashion revolution

The casual wear with their functional materials has undoubtedly had an enormous influence on the development of special clothing. So jackets and pants are hardly conceivable without stretch. The stretch ratio is either in the form of elastic fibers (EOL) incorporated directly into the tissue or found as patches in the waistband, back or shoulder area. The soft, flexible soft shell materials have contributed significantly to improve the wear ability. They have revolutionized weather protective clothing at the same time.

While you could encounter a storm by pulling a few years ago only with a certified rainwear or escape into the assembly trolleys provide soft-shell jackets short term protection against the wind and rain today. Thus they have established themselves as an indispensable component of functional artisan’s clothes and at the same time made the native of the sportswear three-layer principle acceptable.

For functionality and high-quality workmanship and durable, on-trend vouches lightweight materials that provide a pleasant climate. There are also numerous details - including kneepad pockets or reinforcements in the leg area. They withstand the mechanical loads in professional standing. Stain-resistant reflective fabrics and trendy colors insensitive resist the occupation typical stains. And because they can be washed well, they contribute significantly to making an outfit his good looks all the work week maintains.

When the days get shorter again: tips for road traffic

Darkness, fog, temperatures near the frost limit – it’s a weather that traffic people have to face these days. Pedestrians need to wear safety vest to enhance visibility in this bad environment. Foliage on the road also makes the road slippery and the spotlight does not show the performance that it shows in dry weather due to spreading effects.

But not only seeing is important in the dark season. Particular attention should also be given to all road users to be "seen". Police superintendent Antje Freudenberg, police officer of the Luneburg / Liuchow-Dannenberg / Uele police inspectorate, said: "All traffic users should now drive their vehicles with their lights on. Not only motorists, but also all two-wheelers, especially the cyclists, significantly increase their safety in road traffic. "Bright clothes with reflectors, a good bicycle helmet and a traffic-safe two-wheeled bike made for even better visibility in the dark. The theme of light clothes applies in particular to pedestrians and not just for children.

Even wheelchair users can do something for their road safety. Since wheelchairs are usually not well lit, they should be equipped with additional reflectors. "A good idea is if a reflective vest, which should be carried by every driver in the vehicle, is hanged over the handles of the wheelchair. As a result, it is much more perceived by subsequent traffic. And if the wheelchair is pushed by a companion, it can cover the vest, "says Antje Freudenberg. It is also important that road users take longer trips, take the foot off the gas, and focus on the traffic, especially in the dark and in poor visibility conditions. People who might be bad in the dark should be aware of this and think about the purchase of a special night vision glasses.

To be accident-free from A to B, the vehicle must be safe. In the case of the car, especially fully functional headlights and by the coming spring winter tires with at least 1.6 millimeter profile depth, better still four millimeters, belong to it.

Ottoman Frederic’s, a specialist operator of the company Verges, says that in addition to the lighting system and mounted winter tires, "a cooling fluid suitable for the cool temperatures, winter cleaning water, fresh engine oil, a functioning battery, intact windshield wipers and also cleaned windows Vehicle and traffic safety ".

"The winter check with tire change and control of the lighting system is currently very well received," says Patel in reflective clothing. In order to increase traffic safety in autumn and winter, the traffic watch, together with many participating workshops, offers the free light test in October nationwide.

Children can’t be seen in the dark without reflective clothing

In autumn and winter children in road traffic are particularly vulnerable, a reflective vest can make children be seen and be safer. But for a safe way to school in the dark, rain and ice, parents can do a lot - even without "Taxi services".

They draw early in the morning: packed with heavy backpacks school children, on foot, by scooter, skateboard or bike. Located in the busy rush hour, it’s rain or shine - in the fall and winter, even at dusk or even in the dark. The danger of being overlooked in traffic is even greater than for adults for children.

In the dark season parents should look for in their children bright, best fluorescent or reflective clothing. This glow in the beam of the car up to 160 meters fluorescent materials in orange or yellow as well as large-area reflector strips are already prescribed for the market today satchel. Parents recognize this satchel on the DIN standard 58124 and appropriate safety clothing to the designation DIN EN 13356. But normal jackets, hats and bags can be easily retrofitted by reflective material figures or stripes or sews. For added security worry dangling "cat's eye" pendant whose additional movement particularly draws attention to itself?

Helpful in fashionable concerns that sometimes already have five-year refuse any cooperation, are fun experiments: the mother or the father has been raised in different clothing to the curb, trying the child in the car with the other parent, she or recognize him. The concrete experience helps the child to understand an otherwise abstract context.

For children aged six to eight years of close to other, if they themselves can see an illuminated car well, they assume that the driver sees them. Younger children interpret the spotlight often referred to as eyes that can see everything - like their own children's eyes. But even in the bright kids are hardly properly evaluate capable of distances and speeds. In darkness, it is virtually impossible for them. And the reaction time of children is about three times as long as the adult.

Training takes taxi

No wonder that more and more parents chauffeur their kids to school by car. A poll by the Forsa Institute showed that in 1970 made in Germany alone on the way to school 91 percent of primary school, in 2012 there were only 50 percent. But the family taxi is dangerous: On the way to school children come not only on foot or by bicycle to harm but also by the car. And the traffic is just too close to the schools where many children are traveling. In addition, it lacks many children to move, which in turn is important for the formation of psychomotor skills - a prerequisite for a safe movement in traffic.

Also, traffic psychologists call: Parents should trust their children something. Already six to seven year olds can handle the way to school alone. They exert to move in public space and to bring critical situations. "At first, parents should accompany their children and indicate possible harm," said Dr. Ralf, psychologist at TÜV NORD. However, children get distracted quickly and behave willing to take risks, especially in the company of other children.

"Often the children's attention diminishes when they feel safe and in the dark, fog or snow also very familiar paths are dangerous. It is therefore advisable to check from time to time whether the once learned permanently will be implemented. In particular, in the fall and winter, when dangerous in fog or snow also familiar ways parents should accompany the school children again and this particular attention to the traffic behavior." Especially in the dark winter months, it is important to let children wear reflective clothing and send off the child in time. Without time constraints, a child may perceive the road better and it will remain on the safe route.

Elementary school students wear safety vest on the bus

That's all right if the heavy school bag standing in middle school bus. Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! What happens if the driver in safety vest has to brake suddenly? The recent students know now exactly. You have witnessed such a harmless knapsack can be quite dangerous.

The lesson with the consequences of an emergency stop is part of the curriculum of the bus school. This in turn is a very special kind of traffic education. The kept the two traffic police inspection educators Samberg, Police Chief Inspector Herald Hotelman, in the first and second grade students of primary schools in the city and county.

The bus school is primarily intended to contribute as a traffic education project to make trips in public transport for children and young people safer. The concept includes a roughly 25-minute theoretical, but also a 20-minute practical classes. In theory it was a danger to the bus stop and on the way there. What can go wrong here, the elementary school students themselves have developed. Now you know: You may here not push, wrestle, or play catch like - because otherwise it could easily happen that a child runs onto the roadway or crashes.

How important it is to wear bright and reflective clothing to be clearly visible to other road users, was as subject as not to jostle when boarding the bus of the appeal. How it's done correctly, the children have practiced: They went beautifully arranged and sat down on the bus always equal to the next free space - without blocking the satchel gear or seat - remained while driving sit and held on tight. And of course they always use from now on the seat belt, if there is one.

What happens in an emergency stop?

The theory is one thing - especially impressive is the thing but if you can try out what they have learned the same: This option provided the bus school for elementary school students. Who experienced a short drive what happens in an emergency stop? And showed clearly why you should not put in the aisle of the bus his schoolbag: The satchel slipped through the braking maneuvers by the driver. The children were pushed forward - which made all for a great wow factor. The bus school in Samberg by the company Linz and in the district by the company Herrmann, Lindner, Fuehrer, Heffner, Bruckner and Bayer and Krauss, who put their buses free of charge, was supported.

Overall, the bus school has 59 classes visited with 1,332 children. This special traffic safety training was also part of a crossing guard training with two transition classes of Leopold Middle School Samberg.
