Isabelle Juraschek is no stranger to the first graders of the South School. As early as the kindergarten age, the head of the youth transport school had explained to the youngest road users how important it is to look left and right when they cross the street. Last week there was a reunion of today's Abc marksmen with the police superintendent, who had brought ADAC safety vests for the safe way to school.
Each child got bright yellow-green "additional clothing" with reflective materials, which should help to make the children more visible in the dark season on or in the street. Felix and Frieda are called the two stylized figures on the reflective vest, which shine when light falls on it. "Traffic Detective" is on the back. The small class 1a traffic detectives pay close attention to the policewoman and look closely as she proves with the support of two classmates and a flashlight in the darkened classroom that the vest is actually visible from a distance. Child-friendly, Juraschek explains why it is so important to be seen on the street.
"You are physically very small and are seen by motorists worse, just as you go behind a parked vehicle on the road," she explains the meaning of the safety vest, "you are no small adults and have just some disadvantages. For example, you cannot really estimate the velocities of cars and their distances. That's what you're still learning. "The question of what a driver can do when he sees a child in time, the children can quickly answer after the introduction:" Braking or slower driving. "As she the sense of reflective tapes on clothes and knapsacks explained, with which the children are perceived some 100 meters earlier, every child looks straight at his school equipment. Amazing how many places these effective white stripes are attached, the "shine very doll," as the policewoman says. "The ADAC gives these vests to all first graders so they can get to school more safely," she says. "Yes, that one is better seen by the motorists and not driven around," a student has recognized the purpose of the gift. "Should we wear them every day?" Asks a student. Of course, because right now it's always dark in the morning.
Class teacher Priska Nehlig finds the action good, the children are highly motivated. The teacher and the policewoman especially appeal to the parents, who are responsible for providing the children with road safety in the morning and who should remember that the children wear their safety vests. Above all, the children should not leave the house in a hurry. "It is important to us that you come to school safely. You have great vests now, put them on, "the policewoman told the students.
