Our tips for traveling

1. Make sure your car is adorned for the road

Start by controlling the levels of different liquids required for your vehicle: engine coolant, oil, windshield washer fluid. Then check your different lights (front, rear, turn signals) and tire pressure (Do this last action when your car has not been driven for two hours). For longer trips on the highway, if your car is very busy or if you tow a trailer, it is advisable to slightly inflate the tires to the tune of 0.3 to 0.5 bars.

2. Go with the required equipment

You must have in your trunk warning triangle. In your glove box should be a safety vest. You can be penalized in the absence of these two elements. Check also that you have in your vehicle replacement bulbs and a flashlight.

3. Load your vehicle the day before

This will avoid unnecessary stress just before taking the wheel. You can then take the time to allocate volumes and weight in your vehicle, taking into account the passengers in clothing with reflective material. To avoid degrading the behavior of the car, place the heaviest luggage in the trunk floor. Remember to keep the open rear deck to keep good visibility: rather put business at the feet of the rear seats. If you fix bikes at the back of your vehicle, remember to leave your lights and visible plate. If necessary, a second plate may be added on top.

4. Think of the children

Children should wear the vest with reflective tape. Car seats and booster seat another is not only essential but they must be fully secured to the automobile. Also, if driving at night does not mind, children can sleep and find the shorter time. Otherwise, provide books and video games that will occupy them.

5. A break every two hours

It is recommended that you stop to take a break every two hours, at least 15 minutes. Do not wait for signs of fatigue are persistent. At the first stinging eyes or if your eyelids are beginning to be heavy stop immediately. Feel free to change the driver if necessary.

6. Do not turn the air conditioning background

7. No headphones or a headset while driving

Remember that the regulation has changed since July 1: Hands-free kits, Bluetooth headsets are now banned or driving. Only remain authorized, use the speaker phone or Bluetooth devices integrated to the vehicle or carried by a passenger of the elements (e.g. sunscreen). However, manual manipulation of the phone is prohibited. Failure to comply with these new rules, it will cost 135 Euros fine.

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.
