Stories for pedestrians and cyclists, accidents and deaths are constantly in the news. Distracted driving, speeding, blind spots and lack of vehicle and pedestrian visibility contribute to these frightening statistics.

According to the report of the National Road Administration Road Safety:

???????? Every 7 minutes a pedestrian hit and killed
???????? Most pedestrian fatalities occur at night from 06:00 to 6:00

“It is our goal is to educate people about road safety at night. If the driver can not see you, they can not stop for you.” Said Barbara Kantor, night vision expert and CEO of Vedante Corp, a company specializing in highly reflective clothing and accessories for people and pets.

Cantor, accidents can be greatly reduced if you are sure that you and your family are visible when outdoors at night

If

interview about how to stay visible at night, after Kantor offers these 10 simple tips:

1 .???? Dressed in white or light colors.

White can be seen at night to about 200 meters. On the other side of the spectrum, black can be seen at most about 20 feet at night .????

2 .???? Walk in the defense!

Remember that just because you can see the driver does not mean the driver can see you. You are an unexpected object in the night. In the cross walks and parking lots, make sure the driver knows his presence and in the eyes before crossing in front of them. Use sidewalks when available. Be sure to walk in front of traffic so you can see the headlights of oncoming vehicles.

3 .???? Avoid red lights of death.

Did you know that drivers have a blind spot in the aisles? If you’re standing (or biking) at a crossroads, near the passenger side, are quite common in the drivers blind spot. Awareness of this may be your safety. If you have a bike, you can avoid this potential conflict of stopping behind the car, rather than along it. If you go, let the car turn in the first place, if they do not make eye contact with you.

4 .???? Be careful in parking lots.

Do not walk behind parked cars, which have a stop-loss. Listen for cars with engines running and walking behind them.

5 .???? know and comply with local rules of the road.

Whether traveling by car, by bicycle or on foot, to know the rules of the road – especially the right of way laws. Bicyclists must use appropriate signals and lanes, and pedestrians must cross at the official footpaths.

6 .???? Clothing accessories reflects the 30 minutes before sunset until 30 minutes after sunrise.

wearing reflective accessories is good protection against invisible, but you must be sure that the coverage is large enough, and give you 360 degree visibility. Small reflective logo on a shirt or shoes is not enough. The prints should be given 500-700 CPL (1000 to 1500, to see foot). If the reflectivity is not specified, it is probably simply a reflection of 50-200 meters. It is not enough room for cars to see you and stop at the normal speed of the road.

7 .???? Walk in groups.

walking more difficult to see the band, dressed in bright colors at night, and has reflected accessories.

8 .???? Use lighted walkways and trails for off-road, not on the street where possible.

9 .???? Bring a flashlight and put the country closer to traffic.

10 .???? Re think, music players and mobile phones.

It is important to hear what’s going on around you.
