“Avtostolitsa” held a flicker test – reflective vest and objects for pedestrians
Is it possible to save human lives for 18 rubles? Hardly. Over the 36 – all right. Perhaps, for 140 – the best option. So many are the different reflective objects that are attached to clothes and handbags. Overnight, the section of the road without street lighting, pedestrian on the side of the road or the edge of the roadway and dipped beam headlights. In this situation, the driver will be able to notice a pedestrian only due to flicker. Is it so? DENIS Tyurkin took a test experiment 12 such things.
rules
Dear drivers, cyclists, horse-drawn carts and their drivers, passengers! Do not forget that you spend time pedestrians. So, should adhere to the item 4.1 of Rules of traffic when the night will come out of the salons vehicles slazit with bike and jump off to the carts. From 1 July 2015, this clause obliges the pedestrian traffic when crossing the road, and when driving on the edge of the roadway or roadside outside settlements in the dark and in poor visibility conditions carry objects with reflective tape. Naturally they should be visible to drivers. Recall that, according to the SDA lack of visibility – the visibility of the road is less than 300 meters in fog, rain, snow, as well as at dusk. By the way, the recommendation pedestrians have flickers even in localities when driving in the dark and difficult weather conditions, introduced in December 2005, and the remaining recommendations. And it is not necessary – it is not punishable. But in the absence of reflective objects in the country there is a penalty. According to part 1 of Article 12.29 of the Administrative Code, is punishable by a warning or a fine of 500 rubles.
Reality punishes more severe. For example, from 12 to 18 October 5th pedestrians were killed in the country. All the accident occurred outside the city in the dark. It gets dark early, the roadway and the curb because dirt driver sees a single entity … Visibility is reduced, and do pedestrians dress is usually all dark. Almost perfect illustration of the adage about finding a black cat in a dark room.
Kinds
That’s our subject “cat” – participant of Roman-test experiments – a lover of black clothing. Jacket, jeans, cap … All things dark wardrobe. And he has a black backpack, which he had foolishly forgotten. I had to hand handbags. On her hang some reflective elements or wear a safety vest. Generally, backpacks, bags and school bags – a good place to put the flicker. Also, these elements can be attached to clothing to pins, glue on prams. Where can I buy? In the book and stationery stores, for example. There, as a rule, there are key chains, badges and other items cheerful, obviously aimed at children. While some like and youth. Capital photographer Jeanne, for example, was delighted with the reflectors in the form of a heart. Online stores such as “All ennomu number of rubles”, you can find a sticker. On the nose was Halloween, so were stickers on this holiday. For adults it is better to go to the shop cutting, sewing and fabrics. In fact, that is located in the building “Mordvinic patterns” factory, I found the Belarusian tape on the Velcro. Two types: long, on the sleeves, and short, which can be tied to the handles of bags and backpacks. Part of the test samples for us to test, experiment provided in the traffic police department of propaganda for Moldova, and some – in a private company, and the rest were bought by the editors.
