The motorist sees a person with reflex eight seconds earlier

Without a reflex, a motorist has two seconds to see you when the speed is 50 km / h.

Now it is important to put reflexes in different jacket pockets so you are always ready to light up in a dark season: That the driver has 10 seconds instead of 2 to react can be the difference between life and death.

Without reflex, you will first be discovered on a 25-30 meter hold. With reflective tape, you are visible at 140 meters distance, even if the car only has a low beam on. High beam visibility increases to 400 meters.

Reflective tips:

All approved reflectors shall be marked with EN 13356;

Reflections that move when you use them work best;

The reflex should hang at knee height (to receive as much light as possible from the headlights);

Use two reflectors to be seen from both sides;

Reflections are consumables. Scratches give less reflection;

The reflective vest is poorer at washing and should be replaced annually with regular use;

Remember that the stroller and dog also need reflex;

Not all reflexes are approved. For example, if it comes with sweets, they may not work satisfactorily, which can be fatal in the dark;

Young children should always wear a reflective vest with reflective material when traveling in traffic;

Remember that the stroller and dog also need reflex;

Remember that bicycle reflex is also required:

There should be a red reflex behind;

On both sides of the pedals, there should be a white or yellow reflex. If the bicycle has click pedals on which no reflex can be mounted, the bicycle must have reflex on the pedal arms.
