Reflective vests outside of the village

The Senate passed the amendment without changes, which among other things allows municipalities to restrict the operation of SEGWAY. The standard also directs pedestrians to wear reflective material outside the village and allows police to detain small technical certificate in poor technical condition of the vehicle.

He decided on Wednesday by the Senate despite efforts by some senators who wanted, among other things, remove the officers the right to measure the speed or allow cyclists to ride after drinking less alcohol. The amendment, which also saves motorists obligation to clean up vehicles from the ice and snow from where they obstructed from view, now gets to the signature of the president.

Norma has also permitted to remove a half year driving license for those who crossed the railway crossing at the time of signal arrival. The fine for such an offense is not increased yet, as advocated by the Greens, the Social Democrats by Senator Peter Galas but in the future considering the increase from five thousand to five times.

The largest part of the three-hour debate took the Senators debate on the abolition of the right of officers to measure the rate that pushed the chairman of the ODS senators and Teplice Mayor. "The proposal for the deletion of the possibility to measure the speed of vehicles of municipal police, the Ministry of Transport pursuant to the Ministry of the Interior adopted a negative opinion," said Transport Minister Dan in reflective uniforms. He reasoned, inter alia, that the change was not discussed with the concerned authorities and was not evaluated its impact on traffic safety and investment communities to radar.

Keera argued that many communities want only improve incomes, and therefore leave the rate measured outside built-up areas. He also pointed to the administration and the increase in unpaid fines for traffic offenses, which according to him, over the past five years has climbed from 29 million to 43 million.

CSSD chairman senators admitted that the city police would not have to measure your speed, but compensates for insufficient capacity of the police officers in order to ensure greater safety in the communities. This also argued Sen. "I speak against itself, because I patroness of the city police. Very often it subsidizes for speeding," she said.

Senate deputy chairman Zeneca (CSSD) proposed to enable cyclists either by the Austrian model 0.8 per mile of alcohol in the blood, if they went after a third-class road or bike paths, or alternatively 0.5 percent. It would also limit the maximum amount of fines for alcohol for cyclists at 500 crowns. He argued that the police often collect fines on the wine trails.

The obligation reflective elements for pedestrians, a vest or just armbands, Transport Minister said that for her violations will face a fine of up to two thousand. Flak also said that the ministry has an agreement with the police that more people handing out reflective tape. He also announced that his office is trying to deal with the Czech Association of Insurance Companies to provide towing vehicles unusable.

Bright Run jacket is a treat for any fan running. His greatest asset is the reflective fabric, adaptable, reflective, breathable and ultra-light, which features an innovative photo luminescent technology: an outer pigment absorbs the light and returns in low light conditions. In addition, for comfort, the seams are sealed with laser and closures and zippers are coated to prevent chafing.

Test of the super light windbreaker reflective jacket

Marmot, a small Californian company with 30 years of experience in the manufacture of mountain equipment, specializes in the manufacture of technical garments and accessories for outdoor sports activities and remains faithful to its slogan "Clothing As Equipment" or "clothing with reflective fabric is part of the material. "

Each garment in your collection is designed and manufactured as an essential piece of equipment; Like a piglet, a rope, a helmet or a harness, nothing can fail and nothing is superfluous or superfluous, only the essential. "Keep it simple" or "do it simple" is the motto of the Marmot designers that as we will see is a determining argument in this windbreaker jacket for runners who like to run on the mountain.

Technical features and performance:

The Trail Wind of Marmot is a windbreaker that is characterized by its lightness, barely 120 grams, its pack ability or reduced size once compressed fits in a pocket, its water repellency and especially for its breathability.

It offers incredible wind resistance for the fine structure of its fabric that is 100% Polyester Rip stop and with DWR finish, which repels water from a fine rain and is also very soft, very pleasant to the touch.

It is stored in its own pocket, which is located in the chest and has a zipper, on the front the word Marmot appears in reflective. The same pocket allows you to carry your mobile phone with earphone output so you can listen to music. It has a hood that can be adjusted and closed with an elastic closure while running and that comes very well when the weather becomes adverse.

The cuffs have a lira elastic termination that prevents the entrance of the wind and the caloric loss by convection. The waist has an elastic adjustment by fastening easy and quick adjustment. On the back and on the right sleeve have other reflective logos

I love its minimalist design and the performance apart from its power to stop the wind this jacket stands out for the high breathability of the fabric, which positively influences the perforated areas that ventilate the areas of maximum sweating in the armpits and lateral areas under them.

The waist has an elastic adjustment by fastening easy and quick adjustment. The chest, back and right sleeve features reflective logos.

The regular fit more loosely allows carrying underneath a second layer of more volume. The cuffs have an elastic lira finish that prevents wind from entering.

Its performance for winds and high breathability of the fabric is that with zones micro ventilated in areas of maximum perspiration.

Improvement opportunities:

The regular fit makes it flutter in the wind and being a windbreaker for use on the mountain, it would go better with a tighter design, in a "semi fit" or "athletic" as Marmot calls them, something that we see in garments of his collection More Racing.

In short, this Wind Trail is a 2nd layer windbreaker technique, exquisite, light and very breathable ideal to carry in the reflective material backpack or simply in the belt of trail running. Thanks to its small volume and extreme lightness, it fits even in your pocket and is suitable to always carry with us the mountain, to put us on the descents and as prevention because you never know what you can find your way out in nature.

Test of the Sportful Hot Pack Ultra-light reflective jacket

A windproof and waterproof product that can easily be taken into a pocket as this reflective jacket is wrapped around itself. A product intended for outings where the weather is uncertain but also to face the fresh descent of mountain passes, without being too crowded.

The ideal complement to the Sportful R & D Ultra-light jersey, which is very light and airy but which could prove to be just right when the temperature drops, even if its price seems slightly excessive.

By taking out this jacket from its packaging, one is immediately surprised by its lightness. No wonder, Sportful only advertises 50g. My copy, in size L, weighs only 55g, thanks to the use of a fabric of only 7 deniers (1 000 m of wire weigh less than one gram). Laser perforations are present in the back to ensure good ventilation. Around the back pocket, a reflective material edge allows to be better seen. As you can see on the pictures, if the photos of presentation reveal an opaque cloth, realized, the jacket is almost transparent. So that will not hide your swimsuit.

The cut is close to the body, which does not cause too much noise at high speed in descents and therefore does not slow down. Windproof, but also water-resistant thanks to a water-repellent DWR finish. Thanks to its water-repellent finish, rain is pearled without being absorbed, and anti-wrinkle treatment prevents wrinkles from forming. Not enough to face a big storm, but at least not to return soaked in case of drizzle or road simply wet.

The elastic cuffs prevent the wind from entering the jacket and act as a parachute. Same as the waist, an elastic allows the jacket to perfectly fit the body.

The collar (lined) raises high on the neck, so as not to get cold at the throat.

The big advantage of this jacket is its compactness. It is possible to fold it on itself in its pocket.

In the end, you get a small "pack" that stays in place and that measures only 14cm x 9cm. What to easily take place in a pocket next to energy bars.

On the road。 As always with Sportful, this product is very close to the body. You do not feel like you have a garbage bag on your back that yawns in the wind.

The windbreaker aspect is present. After sweating in the climb of a pass, you can quickly put on it so as not to catch cold in the descent. On the other hand, with the bare arms, these will tend to stick to the fabric, which will make the removal of this jacket rather delicate.

Against the rain, the Ultra-light Hot Pack is surprisingly effective. Not enough to face a big storm, but a temporary rain or the drizzle often present at the summits will be stopped. The breathable reflective fabric avoids too much sweat and keeps the windbreaker on the back for a long time.

An excellent product remains the detail that annoys the price. For more than 120 € (a sleeveless version exists at 110 € but seems to me less useful), it is relatively expensive in my opinion for that does not have a frequent utility.

A perfectly designed product, but would probably be better placed at 80/90 €.

Different countries have different rules but safety vest

Even abroad, ignorance does not prevent punishment. If you travel by car, you should know the rules on the spot. Warning lights, safety vest, cameras or radar detectors in the car, fines - some of the regulations differ significantly from those in the country. And even those who have been caught in traffic congestion can often save money there: for example, with fast payment, there are discounts.

Fines

Holidaymakers who violate traffic rules abroad are threatened with higher fines in many countries than with us. Some countries offer discounts for faster payment. In Spain, for example, only 50 percent of the fine is due if the driver pays within 20 days.

No points

Since October 2010, unpaid fines from other EU countries can be executed in Germany. This applies, however, only to monetary penalties, not to driving bans or driving license trains. Anyone who has flown abroad because he has driven too fast will not get points in Flensburg. Often the foreign police in reflective jacket collect directly on the spot. Who does not pay, must expect that his car is confiscated or shut down.

Caution, camera

More and more drivers have a mini video camera on the dashboard or the windshield, which records everything during the journey. In the case of an accident, many users hope that this will lead to better results. The use of mini cameras is prohibited in Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria and Portugal.

Too fast driving

The use of radar warning devices, which inform drivers about the locations, is forbidden in Germany. The same applies to France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. Some countries are even stricter. In Poland, Sweden, Switzerland and the Czech Republic it is prohibited to carry such devices.

From alcohol testers to warning vests

In many EU countries, special rules apply which drivers should have on board. In France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria and from 1 July also in Germany belongs a warning reflective vest into the car. In France, drivers have to use an unused alcohol quick-tester. In some countries driving with light is mandatory during the day.

Early: Road Safety in Comenius Kindergarten

"Now you are only allowed to the red, orange and green dots appear," Ferdinand instructs the children in Comenius Kindergarten, "just as the color sequence of the traffic lights is." The full-time police officer in safety vest is now in voluntary capacity as an employee of the German traffic on the road and leads to the children exercises for traffic education by. The little ones makes it visible fun, the friends always fit exactly to that the feet also indeed enter the correct color plates. Who occurs a blue dot accidentally, is immediately warned loudly of the group.

Concentration and coordination exercises his colleague on that day, Michael Ebbing, with the children in the outdoor area. Ebbing, his character also active in the service of the police, has staked out a course and painted a crosswalk with pedestrian crossing. The children wear reflective vest ride the "road" to the two- and three-wheelers and must be careful to stop at the crosswalk and let the pedestrian cross the street. Again and again they find pleasure in causing small rear-end collisions. One child brakes, the other crashing of its predecessor - and laugh.

It takes a lot of empathy on the part of volunteers to reach out to the children and to provide them with the necessary knowledge on the road as early as possible. At the present time children spend their free time often watching television or computer instead of playing outdoors. Some move confidently through the course, while others need a little time to "warm up". Children, who move in their spare time, are on the road less at risk than others, it is also known in the German road. Spontaneous stop, dodge, complete with the scooter skill exercises, dodges - all these movements, when they are playfully taught and trained, act as safety reserves in a dangerous situation when quick reactions are required.

In other exercises it comes closer to the children, the issue of safety in the dark. Reflective stripes on clothes can, especially in the approaching dark season, save lives. If children are with vests or flashy extras dressed to school on the road, they can be detected faster and better on the road. About 80 kindergartens were contacted by the two volunteer’s county far, the time needed for such a Road Safety Day is not to be underestimated.

A car is crashed into a group of people on Friday night in Redden. Two women without wearing safety vest died in the serious accident, several others were injured.

Initial investigation of the police, a 15-member group of persons was a traditional for the region go.
