What such is flicker?

I open morning newspaper, and again strike the titles: “It is biased pedestrian”, “seven years of life”, “and night at a cost of into the life”. It is evident from the names that in the materials the speech of about the killed pedestrians, whom they could not note on the road.

As is known, in September is conducted action “children on the road”. The essence of this action in each driver driving with the headlights. But indeed headlights will designate only machine, however, and which will designate man? Answer exists: the light-reflecting flicker.

Flickers - these are small marks or the gluing, which can be placed on the knapsack, the jacket, hand or jeans, and also on the foot-wear. They reflect light in the darkness and help to see pedestrian in the night time more rapid. With the ride with the neighbor light the distance, with which it is possible to note pedestrian, is equal to 25-30 meters, and if the man has a flicker, then it increases to 130-140 meters. But driver, in the machine with the distant light, can see flicker from the distance of 400 meters.

Flickers are prepared from the soft plastic and have bright nuance. They are in the form toys, plates, marks, flat and gluing. Therefore they will be pleased not only to small children, but also to adolescents. Design of majority of them - youth. Flickers are fastened with the aid of the pin or the lace, and to or bicycles it is possible to hitch the tensional flicker.

All more frequent on the roads militiamen began to give out free flickers - not only for the advertisement, but, in the first place, for safety and survival. Indeed the use of light-reflecting decreases the risk of visit to the pedestrian by 65 percent. In the newspapers began to appear the materials, where it is discussed how to someone saved life flicker. On the sites in the Internet opinions about light-reflecting - only positive.

In the Belorussian city Vitebsk the students of technical college Natalia and Anna sewed two collections of clothing with the use of flicker inserts. Now it is worthwhile to only purchase new dress, and will not have to hang to itself to the bag pendant. Completely it suffices to put on thing with the light-reflecting plates and, without fear of, going to go for a walk around the night city.

On the assertion of specialists, the most suitable place, where it is worthwhile to hang flicker - these are breast and thigh, but more frequent people prefer to fasten flicker to the hand, their briefcases or bags.
