Last year was also a higher number of seriously injured. Those ambulances took them one hundred and sixteen. It's about eight more than the year before.

Among the victims of accidents last year were thirteen drivers, seven passengers, two motorcyclists and six pedestrians without safety vest or clothing with reflective tape.

Police officers want this year to focus more on prevention. "We want to focus more on stretches of road where the accident with serious consequences happen. Of the twenty-eight fatal accidents happened twelve first class road, "he outlined the regional traffic police chief Yaroslavl Rehab.

 From the standpoint of safety it is now very problematic road from the border with Poland from Habartice Liberec.

Often it is the Poles who are heading to work in Liberec industrial zone.

Pole was also one of the last twenty-eight killed. He died in September when, due to a technical problem stopped near into his car and moments later crashed ambulance.

  "Risk is a road especially during shift changes, mainly in the morning between six and seven and then around one and two in the afternoon, and around twenty-second clock," explains Yaroslavl Rehab.

  Strengthen the police with reflective vest will also focus on the road in the vicinity of Mache Lake and environs. Also there are serious traffic accidents.

In countries undergoing rapid motorization, many middle-income countries, roads are often constructed without due regard to the communities through which they pass. Historically, this was also the case in high-income countries. Change of mentality is essential to ensure that roads everywhere are safe and meet the needs of users, especially children, but also other vulnerable groups such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. These road users are strongly recommend wearing safety vest with reflective tape to enhance visibility.

That change is imperative in the context of ongoing work to promote healthy lifestyles. Walking, cycling and other physical activities that contribute to preventing overweight and obesity in children would inevitably expose the contact with the road. Only if these roads are safe kids will want to use them and their parents and other caregivers enable them to do so.

No single measure properly covers the broad range of risks to children on the roads, but each family, community and country can adopt measures aimed at improving road safety for children. In countries that have achieved the largest reductions in deaths and injuries related to road traffic has been noted that rigorous legislation and its strict application, along with strengthening the safety of roads and vehicles, to improve the situation. The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 United Nations provides a broad framework to adopt these and other measures to ensure the safety of children with reflective accessories on the roads.

Where children are more likely to be killed or injured in a traffic accident are?

While the problem of road safety is global, the more likely to die in a traffic accident children are living in low- and middle-income countries, where 95% of deaths of children is recorded traffic accidents.

Reflective tape and safety vest brand Accent is probably one of the most famous products of Polish cyclists - from amateur to players. It consists of two factors: excellent availability Accent in retail sales and a good value for the quality of their products. Autumn in our editorial entertained Accent Lobster gloves that reached us along with the already tested the gloves Ice Storm (test available here). Winter came to us this year a little later, and when he appeared, showed his usually gentle face, so the test model Lobster have to wait for the more demanding conditions. It is finally the assumption of one of the warmest Accent models on offer.

Building

Which glove everybody can see - 5 fingers, cuff ... oops! Exactly Model Lobster is different, what you see at first glance. The tested product belongs to the group of gloves with a common chamber for several fingers (in this case three). The chamber is inside a separate "guides" or those who prefer tunnels, for each finger individually. The index finger and thumb are separate, which of course is related to the need to shift the braking convenient and simply improved and a driving bicycle is not always easy winter conditions. Lobster model building type has its supporters and opponents, but one thing is certain - additional layers and the spaces between them, which can be found in the model Lobster, give us more protection from the cold. The model is available in a wide range of sizes, so no problem, each with potential users will choose for themselves the appropriate size.

Gloves on the front side were enriched waterproof membrane Hipper. The membrane together with the material well diverters sweat is extremely important when talking about the use in the winter. Each of the riders knows that frost can protect, but frost combined with moisture is often difficult obstacle to overcome. On the inside they are sewn Lobster (like their thinner siblings Ice Storm) of the material in suede-like structure, which gives solid and secure grip on the handlebar. We find compulsory thumb loop reflective material in advance, which will enable us to wipe his face.

Winter gloves is another extremely important element - is obviously cuff. In the case of the tested model Accent decided on the cuff in the form of a flexible, high-puller. At the outset, part of the users is known to be prejudiced against this type of cuffs - finally after 30 minutes of dressing on the bike we will have to take care of pulling the sleeve to the cuff, so that frost did not work on our wrists. Those less many patient users will appreciate, however, is that this type of cuff will be better warmed their joints. The circle is closed, there are pros and cons.

Lobster accent like other manufacturer's models were enriched with reflective tape, which in conjunction with the hem side in a fashionable color fluorescent increase our visibility on the road (automatically increase the visibility of our gestures, signaling twist, etc.). Admittedly, the whole present themselves nicely gloves and aesthetic inscription Accent, the manufacturer's logo and the selvages colored fluorescent build effective product design.

Trouser leg rolled up us? Who does not want to dirty pants after a ride on the bike, usually opt for this easy way. But it is also different.

There is a close connection, which almost all cyclists, however, are averse: If the oily bicycle chain the leg comes too close, which gives not only a mess and most broken material, it can also be dangerous. Who wants to prevent falls and keep a clean pair of trousers with reflective material, which has few alternatives?

Of course you can put the leg in the stocking, but there are more viable alternatives that also look better and are more secure. For around five Euros there straps made of thin steel, which are attached at the ankle and the fetlock includes velvet fabric. However, she does not feel any as comfortable. Alternatively textile variants with snaps or Velcro are available that fitted to the flighty leg and conveniently can be fixed after the ride on the handlebars or racks. The press service Bicycle advises, for a model to decide with reflective tape, because these help to identify the cyclists in the dark.

For stylistically confident getting around town the Gift Shop design3000 offers a bike with Velcro and wings. Thus, the safety aspect still gets a fashionable touch. The Fly rider of Donkey product is available in orange, yellow and light gray online for 12 Euros.

If the tour is longer, special cycling reflective vest as the "Homey Rain Pants" VAUDE offers. Although it is around 100 Euros more expensive than a simple sport pants, but can be set differently closely at the leg, also protects against rain and also almost looks like an ordinary pair of jeans.

Because not only lost legs but also laces in the chain is to pay attention to those as well. Who wants to invest as casual cyclists no large sums in special road shoes from a specialized dealer can order the bike-clothing manufacturer Gyro sneaker, although they have a lacing, but this protected by a Velcro strap. If a walk taken by the city, the least expensive models are 50 Euros with its muted outsole for also.
