The former commissioner has been investigated for fraud

Denounced by the Civil Protection for the sale of 17 high visibility vest then never arrived by Gianni.

He had arranged with the Civil Protection, in the province of Bellona: I provide the material you need and you pay me. A normal transaction that turned out to be a scam. At least a 51-year-old is well known in the Chronicles of Lucca for this indictment. This is Enrich, the former manager of the town of Lucca as well as councilor at the time of the Fazio administration, with one also spent by Lunches security manager.

Lurch is investigated for fraud because of a complaint made to the Carabineer by Adriano, president of the local Civil Defense: "The facts date back to summer 2015 - I was organizing a demonstration and I needed some vests to high visibility. Browsing the Internet, I found that offered just what I needed. Therefore, I sent an email to the address indicated and we started to exchange messages by agreeing on the number of pieces and the price. One day I received a call from this man: he explained to me that the safety vest was ready and with the writings, I had requested, but before sending them, I had to receive the payment. I trusted and told the bank to make the transfer. However, from that moment I did not know anything: the goods never arrived and the man I had talked with became untraceable either by mail or by telephone. At that point, I was fed up and went to report to the Carabineer. The file arrived on the table of the attorney of Lucca, which has now closed the investigation. The charge is fraudulent: now the prosecutor will have to decide on any request for referral to trial.

It is not the first time that Loch has been involved in judicial events: he was sentenced to 7 months for embezzlement, on charges of taking money from the coffers of the Millennium service, a federal service company for the Mercies. In 2006, however, Loch was investigated as a security manager of the City of Lucca. The Public Prosecutor opened a file registering his name in a register for a series of crimes ranging from forgery to use fraudulent, to the usurpation of functions and abuse of office connected with attitudes of abuse attributable to bullying on agents intended to other offices. In the Appeal, the former manager in reflective vest was acquitted of all charges, except for the usurpation of a title that instead was prescribed. Now this new affair enriches his file.

The Scott teams are ready to face the Titan Desert

Enrique Marcello and Francesca Groins will form the Scott-Amory men’s team for the next edition of the Titan Desert; they are a duo of young cyclists in safety vest who come to the event with great enthusiasm.

Two experts in the discipline of the marathon specialized in this type of competitions that require as much skill as good fitness and much metallization, who hope to repeat the great performance in 2015. In the female category, the Scott-Amory bets on Paula and Ramona Gabriel, two cyclists who also have a solid experience in long distance and add a couple of guarantees to this difficult challenge.

Paula is an ambassador for Scott Contest and faces her second participation in the Titan Desert, the first one within the structure of SCOTT. As for Ramona Gabriel, she is the current leader of the Spanish Open of Ultra Marathon and already knows what it is to get on the podium of the demanding desert race, as she was third in 2014. Lucas, positive and very motivated, the girls of the Scott-Amory go to the Titan Desert knowing that they face a tough challenge, in which they will have to give the best of themselves to shoot with the strongest.

Scott-Amory equipment, the top range kit for long distances

The set presented by Amory for the occasion is a top-of-the-range set with the best features. The design is inspired by a Racing style that plays with black as a base and pistachio green and white geometric motifs that give it a striking and at the same time elegant touch. On the one hand, riders will wear a B200 jersey with reflective element, with a laser cut that stands out for its Drying fabric, with a very soft feel; it fits like a second skin on the torso and ensures total breathability, especially on long distance routes. The same fabric protects against UV rays.

On the other hand, to the jersey is added the new culottes Pluto that stands out for the TM EVO pad, with double reinforcement and specially designed for long distance. Unlike other culottes, the Pluto has a lower throw and a compressive pattern that adapts in its entirety to the legs, letting the circulation flow and avoiding the concentration of fatigue. The fabric is very thin, but it provides good muscle support and weighs 30% less than a comparable knit fabric. Likewise, it has a breathable and flat elastic grid brace that adapts and holds perfectly.

The cuffs of the legs are thicker than usual, anti-scratch. The safety extra is found in the reflective fabric, giving the garment a unique and differential touch. For the first two cold stages, the team will have the windproof B3 Bike jacket, to prevent any temperature mismatch and ensure the total comfort of the members of the Scott during the race.

Tussah drivers change their safety uniforms

The drivers will wear new safety uniforms starting in February, designed by two Seville students. The garments are based on the color gray, white and crimson and as a novelty includes a series of accessories.

The Executive Vice President of Urban Transport of Seville SAM, Juan Carlos Cabrera, has presented the new uniforms that the staff will wear from February 2018. Which the students Sandra Luque and Esther Alonso, of the design school of Ceade Leonardo, have designed and that "circumscribe in the global project of corporate image change initiated by the municipal public company.” For this, Tussah signed a collaboration agreement with the design school of Cede Leonardo with the aim of promoting among its students a contest of ideas to make the new uniforms with reflective tape.

Of all the proposals presented, a selection was made of three models that were analyzed by the Apparel Commission and subsequently presented to public consultation, so that the company's workers could vote for the option, they would like the most. Finally, the designs of Sandra Tuque for the drivers and Esther Alonso for the workshop workers were chosen. The clothes of the drivers are based on gray (pants and jersey), white (shirts and polo shirts), and crimson (dresses and logo). The jacket is black with reflective band and incorporates a removable fleece in crimson. In the same way, all the garments wear a reflective live as a safety measure.

As a novelty, it includes a series of complements, of optional use that, until now, had not been incorporated in the locker room, such as belt, scarf, cap and neck bra, and others are renewed as the bag to store the material, giving the option of bag or backpack.

Regarding the workshop uniform, this also consists of a jacket with reflective band and removable sleeves, fleece and black pants, with removable reinforcements and kneepads, as well as gray polo shirts with reflective bands heat-sealed, which implies greater comfort in your use. All garments are topped with details in yellow, also used by the City of Seville. New accessories include a collar, cap and belt panty, plus a sports bag to store your belongings.

The local police will equip new safety vest

The police force will renews the uniforms, weapons, ammunition and acquire bulletproof safety vest. 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 reflective 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.”

The donation of the reflective vests for MOTOMANDED

The general secretary of the Syndicate of MOTOMANDED, Fabio Zebra, thanked the Presidency of the Council for the donation of the reflective vests.

"This is one more point of regulation of the ordinance and one more step in achieving the benefits we crave as much as workers. Therefore, we deeply thank the President of the Council for supporting this progress and this struggle that we have been carrying for years in trying to make this work professional and dignified for workers in the sector, "said the leader in safety clothing.

Currently, the sector groups about 700 workers in Resistencia and about 1,000 in the Chaco. "We have been fighting since 2008 with all the claws, but this work system has existed for more than 20 years in the city of Resistencia, capturing the precarious work of more than 700 workers in Resistencia and nearly 1000 in the province," he said.

On the donation of the reflective vests, Zebra recalled that the provincial law requires that both cyclists and motorcycles be identified in their entirety, with a number with a safety vest, with a company. In addition, this possibility thanks to the contribution of the Presidency of the Municipal Council within very little it will be able to achieve completely in Resistance.

The Mexican reflective vest that will give security to cyclists

More and more people are convinced that before the traffic of the big cities, the bicycle is an alternative transport that can help them to make less time in their journeys. However, being a cyclist in a big city is also a danger because many do not respect you.

With this premise, a group of students from the UNAM invented a reflective product to help cyclists to be more visible to the cars when they ride a bicycle. In addition, is that cyclists especially at night, not usually seeing themselves in the streets and although some people put lights on their bikes, it is not enough.

For this reason, they created the TUIBO safety vest, which comes in various colors and to which a T-shaped device is inserted, with which you can emit traffic signals in the style of cars through LED lights.

Among the signs are the directional, the intermittent, among others, for example, if you are braking, the rear lights of the vest will twinkle. TUIBO protects the control with a lining and connects it to the device in the reflective clothing via Bluetooth.

TUIBO is not yet for sale, as it is in the Kick-starter fundraiser to be able to obtain financing. The inventors need 40 thousand dollars and the minimum contribution is 79 green tickets. The approximate delivery will be in December of this year and will be sent to the whole world.

Alburtis launches a road safety campaign

The company of the Alburtis group, has launched the road safety campaign Protect yourself behind the barrier! To make drivers aware of the danger to which they are exposed when they get off their vehicle on the highway.

At the accident level, the trend over the past three years is that pedestrians represent about 12% of fatalities due to traffic accidents, Utopists said in a statement on Tuesday. Although the risk of having an accident on the motorway is four times lower than on conventional roads, factors such as speed, traffic intensity and lack of perception of danger can cause a dangerous situation on the part of drivers who go down your vehicle on the highway.

For this reason, standing on the shoulder, putting on the reflective vest, and placing yourself behind the safety barrier are some of the tips that Utopists offers to users to ensure maximum safety.

In addition, from this month of July, the company will provide customers who are involved in a breakdown or incidence on the highway a road safety kit with necessary reflective material to increase safety and comfort in emergency situations in those cases where those that can be delivered in safe conditions.

Prohibit the movement of motorcycles with companion

The initiative aims to 'see if the motorcycle crime goes down or does not go down'

The head of the block of senators of the PJ-FPV, Miguel Pickett, presented today a bill to prohibit for two years the circulation of motorcycles with companion, in order to "see if the crime of motorcycles lowers or does not go down.”

   

The initiative was presented to the Internal Security and Drug Trafficking Commission and would begin to be debated in the coming weeks with the presence of associations and NGOs that have previously expressed their rejection. This is a modification to the National Traffic Law. In the first place, the motorcyclists wear the helmet with the number of the patent and the reflective vest that has printed, on the front and back, the domain number of the motorcycle.

   

However, the most controversial point of the initiative is the prohibition of the circulation of motorcycles or mopeds with a companion, something that would be implemented during a "two-year trial period, to see if the motorcycle crime goes down or does not go down" , according to Pickett before the commission. The bill includes the prohibition of a male escort but during the meeting on Tuesday, the senator announced that he would modify his own initiative so that the veto is of a general nature.

   

When defending his initiative, the senator remarked that the criminal modality of the so-called "motor-chorus" ends "in the best of cases with the theft and at worst with the death of the victim.” "It is forbidden to ride two on the motorcycle, they are presumed suspects, the first one is stopped, and the second one is kidnapped," said the national senator for Río Negro before the commission.

   

In this regard, aware of the controversy that the project is already generates and led a group of motorcyclists in safety vest to cut the street of entry to the Senate. "We must see if the Congress has civic courage, if you put up with this law " The head of the majority block acknowledged that the project is "a little unfriendly" and that it will have resistance from various groups, and indicated as background to this type of measures to "Colombia, where the hired killers were driving on a motorcycle."

However, the senators from their own bloc showed their concerns about the project, despite expressing that they share their concern about this type of crime. Formosan José Mayans, catamaran Dalmatia Mara, among others, indicated, "Inside the motorcycle is a daily transport" and stressed the difficulty of applying a prohibition of that type even it is for the road safety  However, the president of the Security and Drug Trafficking Commission, Sigrid Knuth, undertook to submit the project to debate.

Driver schools disseminate regulations of reflective vest

This regulation has generated several reactions, both positive and negative among the community, so we consulted some safety professionals and driving instructors about this measure.

In previous editions, we told you about the obligation as of January 1, 2016 to carry in the vehicles the reflective vest, a safety element that should be used if the driver of a vehicle must get off it in case of an emergency. Supreme Decree of the Ministry of Transport, adding the reflective vest to the other safety elements, such as the triangle, which must be worn on all motorized vehicles for emergencies. According to this new decree, the reflective vest must contain both fluorescent and retro reflective material, and must always be carried in a place on the vehicle that is accessible from inside, so that the driver gets off the vehicle with the vest on. The measure has generated various reactions, both positive and negative among the community, so we consulted some safety professionals and driving instructors about this measure.

The head of the O'Higgins Division of the IST, Jaime Morales, announced that they have already disseminated the regulations, especially with regard to the labor area. He added that the obligation to wear this safety vest begins on January 1, so in the workplace are obliged to disseminate the regulations. In relation to the response of the people, Morales indicated that in the labor issue is regulated by means of the companies, since the employer must provide the vest for an institutional vehicle, which should be yellow in the background plus the reflective haunches.

On the cost of the vest, Morales argued that it is minor in relation to the proportion that is worth a vehicle versus a reflective clothing, which should not exceed 3 thousand pesos. "I think that people will actually use it, because although the first stage will be a white march where there will be enforcement, there will be no fines. In a moment that has not defined the authority if there will be fines. For us it is fundamental as a mutuality to reduce the number of pedestrian abuses that occur in low-light hours, since the pedestrian when he gets off the car in the background is another pedestrian, "Morales said.

Obligations that you have to fulfill if you cycle by road

Cyclists, along with pedestrians and motorists, are the most vulnerable individuals on the road. Notifying of the movements that the cyclist in reflective vest is going to carry out in advance or not using mobile devices while cycling, are some of the measures that cyclists must adopt.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE CYCLISTS ON THE ROAD

1. Where are they circulating on the road? The shoulder is the place destined to the cyclists that circulate in interurban highways. They can only use the essential part of the road if it is not passable. On motorways, you can drive on the shoulder, only if it is not prohibited by the corresponding signal and with the minimum age of 14 years.

2. When are they having priority of step? According to the DGT, when cyclists circulate in a group they are considered a single mobile unit, therefore, they have priority with respect to vehicles. Cycling through the bike lane, the bike path, or the signpost shoulder also gives priority to the cyclist. Finally, the cyclist has priority in case a vehicle wants to turn right or left and there is a cyclist in its vicinity.

3. Speed ​​at which is they must circulate. The maximum speed that a cyclist can reach is 45 kilometers per hour, as long as the track is not limited to a lower speed. The cyclist is not obliged to drive at a speed higher than 50% of the marked limit. For example, if the road is limited to 60 kilometers per hour, the cyclist may drive less than 30.

4. The cyclist must respect all traffic signals, including the prohibition of using the mobile phone, headphones, or any other type of device. In case of being sanctioned, the fine is € 200. In addition, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is also prohibited. Cyclists cannot refuse to perform a control. The fine if you test positive for any of these substances can reach € 500.

5. The use of the homologated helmet is mandatory; not carrying it can carry a fine of € 200. The use of front light and rear reflector is mandatory, being the fine for not using € 80. The use of the safety vest when traveling at night is essential; the sanction for not carrying it amounts to € 200.

6. Measures when traveling in groups by road. Cyclists are allowed to circulate as a group. They can do it in parallel in a maximum of two. They must go one at a time in sections without visibility or when the danger of the road requires it.

7. The cyclist must give advance notice of the movements he is going to make. If you want to turn to the right, you should extend the right arm with the palm of your hand downwards; if you want to turn to the left, you must bend your right arm upwards. You can also warn of a sudden braking by shaking the left arm with movements from top to bottom.

8. How they are advanced. The driver of a car that wants to overtake one or more cyclists must occupy part or all of the adjacent or opposite lane, maintaining a safety width of at least 1.5 meters.  It is forbidden to overtake in case of danger or obstruction of the progress of cyclists.

9. Cyclists do not lose points since bicycles do not require a driving license, but if they do include the rules they receive the same monetary penalties as drivers of motor vehicles.

They raise fines for not wearing the vest

Deputy DC Mario argued, "You have to make a legal change to the Traffic Law so that this can be considered a fault and you can take a fine as appropriate if you do not use reflective vest. Because otherwise it have made spend thousands and thousands of Chileans to ride this famous vest in the glove compartment.

The Minister of Transport, who highlighted the effects of the decree, welcomed the assessments.

"I am responsible for any problem in its implementation. We had differences between regions, but when we talking about a white reflective gesr, the problem of a white march is the white gear ends. There will be the same problem, people who did not buy and gave that we had started this decree that was published 15 months before its implementation, it was a sufficiently broad term to inform," he said.

Gomez-Lobo added "to legislate on the use, I am open to study that One of the benefits of this initiative has been that it has had a side effect." Cyclists have also started using this reflective clothing, so I think that it has been positive. "

With Reflective vest free or fine

The Traffic Civil Guard distributes them to pedestrians who use rural roads at night.

They pass from eight thirty in the morning. It has not yet dawned completely and a neighbor of Campo Limeira, accompanied by her young son, leave home, cross the PO-223 to reach the marquee where they will wait for the school bus. The image occurred yesterday and observed by a patrol of the Civil Guard of Traffic of Monteverdi. The agents informed the mother that the regulations establish that in this type of travel, however short, it is mandatory to wear some reflective garment. At the same time that they gave her a vest for her and her little one, she recognized that she did not know the obligatory nature of the measure.

Similar situations found daily Traffic patrols when traveling the road network of Monteverdi. The campaign began taking advantage of the change of time and the fact that there are fewer hours of sunlight. They are distributed every day because you have to make pedestrians aware that they have to be visible to drivers, "said Sgt. Mariano. The head of the traffic subsector, who accompanied by civil guard Javier, said that is why the initiative is carried out "between sunset and sunrise." The recipients of the reflective vests are those pedestrians who travel through urban roads outside the town.

From his experience on the Monteverdi roads, Mariano is convinced that these information campaigns are catching on, in such a way that it is increasingly common to see pedestrians using some type of garment or reflective piece. Special mention deserves the pilgrims of the Camino de Santiago, since it is rare to find someone who does not use this type of security devices.

This effort of Traffic redoubled in a few days prior to a time that expected to be complicated at a circulatory level throughout the province due to the proximity of the festive bridge of the Constitution and the Christmas holidays. You cannot lower your guard. Galicia is one of the autonomous communities that most fatal abuses recorded and must be aware of the pedestrian.

It is clear that vests or reflective garments can save lives. In this regard, he recalled that his employment is mandatory, so it provided for the possibility of sanctioning a violation of this provision with a fine of 80 Euros. When you tell a person that you are going to report him / her for not wearing the vest, he / she do not assimilate it in a pleasant way. People have to become accustomed to its use is mandatory, "he said, while adding that while" there has been some sanction for not wearing the reflective vest,” in principle, are limited to inform.

Judge strips off the safety vest to give the worker

Therefore, he began to shake hands with the Uniformed. He served as a police officer four times, despite the rains that occurred in those days.

"I had passed by and it was difficult, there were two policemen.”

"I never thought they saw me. I am giving way, he said surprised.

He also assured that before the hurricane had made available to the Police in safety vest to serve. "People come up to me and say, 'How do you do it?' In addition, I tell them that for this you do not have to take courses; it is a matter of order. This is in turn. "

For Lavonia it is important to carry the message that it does not matter what you dedicate yourself to, with the passage of Maria, we must all contribute our grain of sand to build the country.

On the experience, the judge confessed that what surprised him most are the gratitude of the people and the treatment of the people. "They are very grateful, they give you water, what they have, and it is a very nice feeling, that gave me a satisfaction, of the most beautiful thing that has happened to me," he wear a yellow vest and said adding that people respected, stopped and were very supportive.

The bike helmet and safety vest is mandatory for children

The government's helmet measure aims to educate adults about their responsibility and the risks they face if they do not apply it. A fine of 90 Euros for the child does not wear a bicycle helmet and a safety vest.

As of March 22, 2017, children under 12 years old will be required to wear a helmet when riding a bike. This decree published in the Official Journal of December 22, is aimed at both young drivers and young passengers riding on the bike of an adult. In case of non-compliance, the parents or the person responsible for the child will be liable to a fourth class fine of 90 Euros.

A measure is that part of road safety and aims to promote good habits from an early age. The government website provides figures that are unquestionable: "The helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury by 70%, the risk of minor injury by 31% and the risk of facial injury by 28%". It also highlights the high vulnerability of the youngest (children under 6 years): "Wearing a helmet drastically reduces the risk of loss of consciousness: at more than 10 km / h, it drops from 98% in the case of a 0.1% non-helmeted head for a helmeted head ".

The bicycle helmet must bear the CE mark

As regards the helmet, it must meet an important criterion: it must be homologated and bear the CE mark. It must have three distinct layers: a cap (outer part), padding located under the cap to absorb the impact of impact and padding comfort. It must also offer good visibility and allow the wearing of glasses.

There are other equipment requirements. The bicycle must be equipped with a horn, front and rear brakes, a reflective tape on the pedals and lights at both ends. In case of night traffic, the cyclist must wear a self-reflective vest. In addition, the government site emphasizes the role of parents who "through example" teach their children to equip themselves. "It has been found that parents of children with helmets are inclined to wear one already."

Meet at the Madison, 10 rue base Seville in Metz between 18h and 19h for a large distribution of kits. Come join us, there will be enough safety vest for everyone!

Why a "Well Seen Together" operation?

Indeed, the night falling an hour earlier, pedestrians and cyclists are less visible because of this lack of brightness.

AGEA and France Bleu decided to organize a prevention campaign the week before the time change giving the opportunity to listeners to win a kit of visibility including: 1 yellow vest with reflective stripes, 1 yellow bag with reflective stripes , 1 reflective bracelet.

Food banks need volunteers more than ever

Threatened by the decline in subsidized contracts, Food Banks, France's leading food collection network, are launching a major campaign to recruit volunteers throughout France.

Who wants to become a voluntary" reflective vest" at the Food Banks? Each year, this network, which has 79 food banks across the country, collects more than 100,000 tons of food from large and medium-sized retailers and distributors or through its annual national collection. It then stores them in warehouses, sorts them, and transfers them to 5,400 associations and communal centers of social action, which, thanks to this help, distribute 212 million meals to more than 2 million people.

This mission is provided by 496 employees and 6,070 volunteers. "But volunteers do not stay all their lives, so we recruit about 800 new ones a year," says Jacques in safety vest, president of the Food Banks. To facilitate this recruitment, the network, which seeks volunteers throughout the country, has set up a website.

Between one and five mornings a week

"Food banks open roughly in the morning until 14 hours, we need people available between one and five mornings a week," he says. You can be a volunteer to drive a van, pick up food in stores or professionals, sort it, sometimes transform it, take care of the hygiene and safety, to ensure the accounting, or take care of relations with associations or supermarkets ... The missions are extremely varied. "

If recruiting volunteers is one of the usual Food Banks priorities, this year is crucial. On the one hand, the tonnage of commodities collected increases, with 4,000 more tons in 2016.

256 of the 496 employees are on a contract

But above all, this year, the network is afraid of missing employees. Of the 496 employees, more than half, 256 exactly, are subsidized contracts, which, because of their presence every day, provide complementary missions with those of volunteers, the presence by nature discontinuous. When, in August, the government announced the elimination of 160,000 subsidized contracts, the food banks have had cold sweats. "We had between 60 and 70 contracts expiring in August, which are essential for the continuation of our activities," continues Jacques in yellow vest. If the Food Banks were to convert its 256 subsidized contracts into a conventional contract, this would represent "an additional cost of 2.5 million Euros, which represents a tenth of our budget," he said.

The Bumper represents what All shot knows best when it comes to motorcycle airbag safety vest with mechanical release. If he advances the argument of Made in France to seduce, it is especially his technical sheet that allows him to take a good lead over the competition.

Motorcycle and scooter mechanical airbag vest All shot Bumper After its AirV1 and Shield vests, respectively 1 and 2 stars in the SRA classification, the French company All shot has just announced the Bumper, a model that can be proud of three stars, which represents the rating maximum for a mechanical airbag according to the criteria required by the CRITT. From the point of view of its technical sheet as its specific facilities, this wired vest is very different from its competitors. Let's see why.

Airbag vest all shot Bumper: 3 stars at the SRA

Motorcycle mechanical airbag and all shot Bumper scooter one of the most important criteria in scoring for the SRA classification is the speed to inflate and (above all) to reach sufficient internal pressure to properly protect the body. And on this point, the Bumper proves to be much more efficient than other cable vests on the market since it only takes 80 milliseconds. To inflate its (approximately) 16 liters for inflation by a CO2 cartridge, it's very fast! For comparison, competitors (and other vests) are between 120 and 100. However, studies confirm that it is necessary to go under 100 ms for good protection in case of impact. Certainly, the detection time cannot be measured and will remain, whatever happens, lower than the electronic models but the price too. Especially since all shot did not skimp on the other protections. The dorsal is standard and is a SAS-TEC certified Level 2 model (see the backrest), placed over the cushions in the manner of the Turtle system. So the strength of the impact is better distributed. But where all shot stands out is the protection offered by the rest of the reflective vest. Under the outer shell, the surface of the Bumper is entirely covered with Porn XRD. This material behaves a little like the d3o. Flexible in normal times, it becomes compact under shock, to dissipate energy (see the video of the d3o). Again, this should reduce the effects of an impact on the body, without altering the general flexibility, unlike chest protection, for example.

Made in France and replaced free of charge in the event of a big fall

Motorcycle mechanical airbag and all shot Bumper scooter If the protection against a shock is crucial, an airbag vest must also properly absorb the abrasion during a slip. According to their tests, he resists 6 seconds of gliding. In other words, you never slip so long, which makes this vest as well suited to the city as to the road. The Bumper should be able, after a fall, to leave for another ride. And in case of vest too damaged after a fall, it is replaced by a new model, free. Exceptionally rare in the environment, this point has been confirmed by the manufacturer.

And since we are talking about design, know that the Bumper is totally manufactured and assembled in France. To not block the passage of air, Mesh is found on the central area on either side of the zip that replaces the loops used so far. This safer system also has the advantage of less scratching tanks. The tightening is done automatically thanks to the elastics present on the sides, low enough not to hinder the movements of the arms, even with a large reflective clothing.

A policeman locked up for stealing five bulletproof vests

A security assistant from Nantes is in prison on suspicion of stealing sensitive materials from the police station in order to return him to a city in Nantes. This is a case that has been carefully kept secret for a good week. The police in Nantes arrested one of his families. A 26-year-old security assistant suspected of stealing five bulletproof safety vest, tear gas and even a secure radio. He was indicted and detained. In the corridors of the central police station, stupefaction is in order.

The story is first of one or two vests that disappear, several weeks ago, from the secure room where they are stored. It's a room that opens with a magnetic badge. We do not enter as in a mill. If they were not lost, then it was someone from "home".  Departmental Security investigators set a trap to confuse the unscrupulous policeman. They placed GPS tags on the remaining vests. Bingo: a vest on which was a snitch was embarked. The investigators only had to follow the digital signal. They called this colleague on August 30th.

This Thursday, this young man who presents himself as "fragile psychologically" has presented to the room of the instruction of Rennes a request for release. On the bottom, he recognizes the flights. He claims to have handed sensitive reflective material to a man in the Clops Thoreau district, south of Nantes. One way, defends the policeman, to avoid pressures that offenders of the city would impose on members of his family.

The investigation is nevertheless far from complete. Was the security assistant able to receive cocaine in exchange for his services? This is a question, raised before the investigating chamber on Thursday morning, which will have to be purged.

This young policeman in reflective clothing has already made a lot of talk about him. Never outlawed, he has already gone to Discipline Committee. But this bodybuilding enthusiast also distinguished himself for his good and loyal services. He had participated in the rescue of a mother, savagely attacked by an unbalanced armed with a knife, in Raze, spring 2016.
