A set of bike lights is not enough if you need to be visible in city traffic, think motorists.

You may think that you are safe if you have remembered bicycle headlight. But bike lights is not enough if you are on a two-wheeled be seen in the metropolitan traffic.

So says Road Safety Council, after a study showed that four out of five citizens in the Capital Region may have difficulty seeing cyclists in traffic in the dark winter months.

– By bike, you can see everything. There are no blind spots or door pillars, but it has been in a car, so it’s much harder to see and manageable traffic than it is for a bike, says Pernille Ehlers, who is a senior consultant in the Road Safety Council.

If you want to be sure to be seen by the many motorists who may have difficulty spotting the two-wheeled road users, must make efforts:

– To use a regular reflective vest, bright colors of clothing or reflective strips on the legs makes the car lights hit you far ahead and light reflex up, and then you will be seen at a great distance, which is a huge advantage here in the dark, says Pernille Ehlers.

Children are more traffic safe than adults

While the eyes of those surveyed drivers in the study generally lags with visibility among cyclists in the dark urban traffic, there are also bright spots; children since it is much better equipped to road safety.

– The parents are good to buy jackets with reflective stripe, so really it’s an integral part of children’s attire, and many school bags also have reflectors on, says Henriette Madsen, secretary general of the Child Accident Prevention Foundation,

The additional reflectors on the children makes them more visible in traffic, but when children become teenagers, they throw the luminescent brands like father and mother, but parents can do something about, says Henriette Madsen:

– It is important that in addition to remember to give children reflectors to also remember himself. They are also ambassadors and role models for their children, she says.

It was 32-year-old Bjorn Eirik Thorsen from Kongsvinger who ran off with the money during this round of the sound of Norway.

And it was a pretty bewildered 32-year-old who tried to put into words the feelings when P4 rang.
– I’m trying to get it to sink in, but it’s an incredible amount of money, says Thorsen.

Thorsen had earlier today been on a fishing trip, which had not given major results.

– It was bad with fish happiness, hardly any fish to bite! But I then had considerably more luck at P4, grinning 32-year-old.

But if it was so much luck, may be up to others to consider, Thorsen says he has actively concocting the sound a while.

– I thought it might be a ballpoint pen, but it was guessed. There were many who had good suggestions, but I downloaded the sound and listened to it many times. Then suddenly I came to thinking that “hey, it’s not the sound of a reflective band” ?, he tells

And that was exactly right,

The answer was the sound of a reflective band that snaps around an arm.

He says that the prize partly be used on a vacation to heat stroke.

– This will probably be the best night in a long time, says the freshly sound winner.
