The Regional Minister Brunhild Kurt and Klaus, board member of the ADAC Saxony, and Heike Hildebrandt, head of the Branch letter Zwickau of the German Post DHL Group, safety vests of the 75 first graders of the elementary school "Ernst Beyer" in Leinsdorf.

Elementary school students are seen better this way

Wearing a safety vest with reflective fabric gives children and parents extra security when the first-graders first master the way to school on their own in autumn and thus in the dark. "The first-graders should learn and recognize that they are easily visible to all other road users with a safety vest, so responding more quickly in a precarious situation can save lives, but the safety vest must be worn, because only then will it fulfill their needs Purpose, "said Klaus of the ADAC Saxony, and appealed to the parents, the children to wear the vest regularly.

The walker hit the car at the crossing, the woman died on the spot

The tragic accident was resumed by Brno rescue workers on Tuesday morning. Shortly after five o'clock, a driver (43) of the Ford was struck by a fifty-five-year-old pedestrian near the pedestrian crossing in Street. Despite the immediate help, the woman was unable to save herself.

"The rescuers tried to restore the life functions of the patient on the spot. The woman suffered polytrauma, unfortunately, she suffered a serious injury before transferring to the hospital, "said South Moravian ambulance spokesman Michael.

The accident occurred on a busy road, leaving only one stripe during the investigation. Full traffic has only been restored to the police after 9 o'clock. The breath test for alcohol was negative for the chauffeur.

A similar tragedy occurred a week ago in Let vice, where a senior (76) in the early evening shortened the crossing of the road outside the nearby crossing. The man then collided and killed the driver of the passenger car.

Reflective materials save lives

In view of the current weather, pedestrians call for underestimation of reflective fabrics on their clothing. This also applies to places where the law does not require it.

"A good reflective element can actually save a life. The driver who meets the pedestrian in dark clothing at night is about 18 meters long for an adequate response. However, if the pedestrian is equipped with a reflective vest made with reflective tape, the distance to which the driver is able to recognize the pedestrian increases up to 200 meters. Here is enough space to avoid the pedestrians safely, "said South Moravian police spokesman Panel.

Set actions! For more safety on the way to school

The focus of the police is at the beginning of school on traffic education and school transit.

"If children play on the sidewalk or only have their eyes on their mobile phones, then I exhort them," says Herman Pucker, a police officer, who has been working to secure the way to school since Monday, there are autumn holidays. With the first-class  and Lena Parker the helpful police officers practicing the right "over-the-road-going".

"Children of this age still have a limited field of vision and therefore have a harder time assessing the traffic situation," says Pucker.

Thomas and Elias , as well as Simon , go to school about 20 minutes a day on foot, "unless it rains", emphasize the three boys and crosses the zebra crossing. "The cars do not always stop. Sometimes they just keep on driving ", they describe in an angry voice and march towards the school building. "It is especially important to wear reflective clothing with reflective tape so that the children are seen," advises the police officer. The chief maxim is: "Parents should lead by example and show the right behavior."

Everyone can contribute

School transit security is one of the daily agendas for police officers. In Spittal, for personal reasons, not all streets can be monitored at the kindergartens and schools. "This could also support us private," says Hansen Michele, deputy district police commander.

Basically, anyone can stand with a safety vest to the side of the road. "But he must not admonish or complain. This may only authorize persons with a corresponding ID card, "said police officer Johann. Private schools must be coordinated with the respective school. Interested parties can contact the district police command for training.

In the district of Hermagor, there was no accident on the way to school in 2017, in the district of Spittal, six children were injured. Not always the school route backup is sufficient. Often, further measures are needed to defuse potential danger spots. If you are aware of dangerous ways to school, please inform us.

See and be seen - only candlesticks drive without light

Until Thursday, the city of Schwedt organizes the campaign "Seeing and being seen - only candlesticks without light" by the AGFS (Working Group for Bicycle and Pedestrian Friendly Cities and Towns) at four schools. The project is allowed in grades 5 & 6. In four modules, the students will be introduced to the subject of visibility in traffic by lighting and reflective materials from different perspectives.

Module 1 "The Black Box" recreates a street at night, showing cyclists with and without light. It illustrates how important lighting is on the bicycle. Module 2 "Bike Check - The Regulations in Brief" introduces the parts of the StVZO that are important for "seeing and being seen". In Module 3 "Repair Course - Tips and Tricks for Self-Help", the students are shown what shortcomings they may have in their bicycle lights and how they can repair them themselves. Module 4 "Being Seen" brings reflective materials closer to the bike that plays a big role in the dark. The functions of the reflective elements are experienced on a darkened wall with a viewfinder with light function.

On Monday the action started at the comprehensive school. "The action was a great success for everyone involved," writes the city in a media release. 

Safe way to school

The deputy St. Wendell police chief Ralf Karnes puts Constantin and Julius on a reflective snap strap.

The police distribute not only reflective bracelets but also tips at the action day in St. Wendell. Although the accident statistics paint a positive picture, special caution still applies to the students on their way to school. The Saar Ministry of the Interior and the police station from the county seat have made the danger at the primary school with the action day "Safe way to school in the dark season" in St. Wendell. "Experience shows that dark clothing can only be seen at a distance of 25 meters. If reflective clothing or objects are worn, the driver has the opportunity to see the children 150 meters in advance, "explains Interior Minister Klaus Bouillon (CDU).

He and the police distribute yellow, reflective snap bands and informational reflective materials to the students. "When I put on the ribbon, I'm seen a lot better," says third grader Julius, after the Deputy St. Wendell PI director, Ralf Karnes, put on the bracelet. Fourth-grader Constantin says: "I will always take it now when I'm at school."

The day of action is an important and sustainable affair for Headmaster Benjamin: "We will address this once again, that the children should come to school wearing bright clothes and ribbons." The topic of safety on the way to school will be further discussed in class. "In addition, the police come to us in the school classes," adds the headmaster. While the reflective tapes are handed over to the children at the schoolyard, the police are also looking closely at the traffic situation in the elementary school environment. As the Minister of the Interior goes on to say, the number of accidents with children is declining, which means no reason for declining caution. "Road traffic has increased, safety for the children has increased. The statistics show that we have declines of more than 20 percent in accidents with children," Bouillon reports. But this rate is still too high. Therefore, the police were at the beginning of the school after the autumn holidays next St. Wendell with the day of action also in Homburg, and Neunkirchen represented. More actions will take place during the week.

Security clothes? The trend of reflective jackets

In a very short time, the national singer Paloma Mami has achieved great popularity for her music linked to trap and reggae. However, the 19-year-old has also become a fashion reference for many of her followers on social networks.

It was the case of the look he used to celebrate his recent birthday, where he wore a particular orange and black jacket, with reflective fabric, very similar to the safety clothing used by construction workers.

Despite the divided comments generated by this garment, Paloma showed that it is at the forefront of new trends. This was advanced by the American fashion house Calvin Klein in his last fashion show, where he unveiled a collection inspired by the workers' uniform.

Reflective clothing in yellow or orange fluorine colors have become an inspiration for fashion. The attribute of this type of garments linked to the urban genre consists of the striking of the tonalities and the oversize concept (XL garment).

British brands such as Pretty Little Things and Dolls Skill, have relied on this "working" trend to create striking neon designs. Apparently, they have become a garment that cannot miss in your closet during this season.

But the interpreter of Not Steady is not the only one who has surprised with a model like this. The singer Kanye West has also joined this trend, as they have shown in social networks.

No doubt you will steal glances if you dare to wear a look like that since finally, everything is a matter of attitude. You should also consider that when you go out to an event or party, you will be the first to find your jacket with reflective material in the dark.
