Too many cyclists circumnavigate their safety

In winter, it is not only cold, but dark. At the time of going to work or college, the sun is not always up and at night, at the time of debauchery, it is sometimes already lying down. This early December was therefore the ideal time to carry out the operations that took place Thursday and yesterday before the colleges.

The police station had put the package by hiring a dozen officials under the command of Major Luray, head of the public order and road safety unit, as well as officials of the municipal police of these three communes.

And the result is edifying: on the two days of this operation of road safety very targeted, since concentrated on bicycles, 60% of the 62 cycles controlled, were not in conformity. The drivers of these two-wheelers have all received convocation for a subsequent presentation of their bikes after compliance. All except one, who won the pompom, since it was verbalized for crossing red lights in the red phase, on a non-compliant cycle, with a phone held in hand. "The total ..." sighs Major Luray frowning.

"I am surprised by the lack of information from these two-wheelers. So we gave them an explanatory leaflet to drive safely, but also yellow vests for the purpose of being seen by other road users. These control operations will be renewed periodically ", warns the police still reassured by the" very good reception reserved for the agents by the schoolboys who understood that our operation was made for their security ". As for the heads of institutions, they applauded with both hands this intervention beneficial for all and could see that in the corridors, the students spoke only about that...

Mandatory equipment

Reflectors (retro reflective devices): red in the back, white in the front, orange on the sides and on the pedals. Wearing a certified retro-reflective vest is mandatory for all cyclists (and passengers) traveling outside the city, at night, or when visibility is insufficient, especially in the event of fog like the one that envelops Agent in recent days. The Code la route applies to cyclists and other users. Each offense is punishable by a fine.

Police organized a theme week of road safety

As every month, a theme week of road safety is organized by the prefecture and the police of the department of Saone-et-Loire to combine prevention and repression of the most risky and most accident-prone behaviors on the road.

As the rainy days and the first motorcycle outings approach, we invite drivers of all types of two wheels from Saone Loire to redouble their vigilance.

In 2016, road safety registered 625 deaths in France and 13,500 wounded on motorized two-wheelers. The Saone Loire deplored a particularly unfavorable road mortality, especially among moped riders and motorcyclists with 6 killed (2 moped riders and 4 motorcyclists).

In order to combat the unsuitable behavior of two-wheeled drivers and to avoid new human tragedies, the police and gendarmerie services of Saone Loire will reinforce the controls of the two wheels (bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles) in the department from 24 to 30 April 2017. In this context and for the purpose of prevention as well, police and police officers will make drivers aware of road risks and the sharing of the road.

A few simple rules of caution can help prevent new accidents:

Equipment / Equipment / Mechanics / Visibility

Service and systematic control of your motorcycle (visibility, braking and tires)

Standard biker equipment (helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, tailored shoes and safety vest)

Piloting ability

Gradual resumption of driving after a period of inactivity (recovery of the motorcycle, progressively longer distances traveled and respecting safety distances with the vehicle in front of you).

Respect for the Highway Code

Respect for the basic principles of the Highway Code applies to bikers; it is the guarantor of your safety. A motorcycle breaks a shorter distance than a car: FALSE. At 50 km / h, a motorcycle will travel 20 meters to stop while under the same conditions a car will only 17 meters. At 90 km / h, a motorcycle in reflective vest will travel 51 meters to stop while a car will only 43 meters 50.

A "smart vest" that allows stray dogs to stand guard

The safety jacket, equipped with a hidden camera, triggers an alert in case of unusual barking. What animals see is retransmitted on Smartphone residents. The goal: to give a place to these dogs often abused.

In Pucker, Thailand, stray dogs will put on their workwear. Often beaten, not fed and discredited by the population, these animals are still very numerous in the streets. A connected safety vest for dogs is currently being developed to change the look on them.

A subsidiary of Samsung, the advertising agency Ceil, and the Soy Dog animal protection foundation have incorporated a hidden camera and a neon computer into the fabric. The latter makes the distinction between conventional barking and those intended to give warning in case of unusual situation: an aggression, a fire, an accident or an intruder with suspicious behavior. A notification is sent to nearby Smartphone. On an application, residents see in real time what makes the dog react. "We do not think that any special training is necessary for animals. The connected jacket combines new technologies with their natural instinct. The only thing they will need is love and attention, "says project director in reflective vest at the online magazine Coconuts. The experimentation phase is launched.

In the long term, it would be a question of permanently changing the image of stray dogs in the country. "The problems of cruelty and the illegal meat trade are becoming more and more important in Thailand," he says. Capturing and locking up dogs cannot be a solution for the instigator of this device. "They have the right to continue living in freedom."

Operation yellow vests for the Spacer's on the road

Yellow vest required, in the first semifinal of Spacer's Toulouse against Nice. For the first time since 2007, the Spacer's take part in the semi-finals of the French League a championship. After leaving Tours, their pet peeve, in the quarter, the teammates of the stainless captain Sago will receive Nice this Friday (8.30pm), before returning Tuesday on the French Riviera, and a possible beautiful three days later in Toulouse.

Why Fluorescent safety Vest? Because the color of the jerseys of Toulouse is fluorescent yellow! Friday, the Palace must be fluorescent yellow! For this first leg, the club had an original idea: ask his supporters to come to the Poleis des Sports with safety vests, so fluorescent yellow color, and the colors of the club. What cause retinal detachment among the people of Nice?

A workforce to rebuild

On a purely sporting level, this meeting could be the last home, successful coach for six years, who will leave the club. Other important starts are expected; including those of Belgian point top Bram Van den Dries, best scorer in the championship (522 points) and international smuggler Antoine.

Before the big summer migration, the high visibility vest for the spacer on the road, the Spacer's dream of a first title is champion of France. The final is scheduled for May 6 in Paris, facing the winner of the other semifinal between Chaumont and Ajaccio.

The young elected ones invite you to "Dare the Yellow"

The Municipal Youth Council of Challis has chosen to focus on humor for its road safety campaign. And to encourage cyclists to wear a yellow safety vest, they made an unusual video!

The slogan could appear in a sketch of the Knights of File, but it is actually out of the imagination of the elected Municipal Council of Youth in the city of Challis. As part of their work on road safety, they decided to conduct a prevention campaign on the risks associated with bicycle travel. Starting from the observation that the wearing of the yellow vest is often considered "nerdy", they decided to play the card of humor, by making a video around a message as simple as effective: the yellow vest, it is in fashion! After having built their screenplay, they shot their clip in one day, calling on Milo, a hollandaise teenager passionate about theater. And the result is, to say the least, striking...

The campaign also comes in the form of posters, on which we find sporting hollandaise: the motocross rider Thierry Bathes, the basketball player Antoine Audit, or the professional cyclist Arnold Jenison who has always dreamed of wearing ... the yellow jersey!

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.
