When the neon lights of the city gradually light up, when the morning mist blurs the boundaries of the roads, there is a kind of “light” that does not come from street lamps or car lights, but can tear open darkness at critical moments – that is the bright strip on reflective clothing, the safety promise engraved on clothing.
Have you ever seen the streets at four o’clock in the morning? Mr. Wang, a sanitation worker, pushed the cleaning truck forward, and his reflective vest was instantly turned into a “mobile warning light” by the lights of a distant vehicle. The driver instinctively slowed down, and the distance between the wheels and him was only three meters; At the intersection of rainstorm night, the reflective uniform of the traffic police officer Liu was particularly clear in the rain. The truck driver 300 meters away could understand his gestures from afar and stopped steadily behind the stop line; In the alley after evening self-study, a young man in a reflective hoodie ran past. The convenience store owner subconsciously reminded him, “Child, if your clothes are on, anyone driving can see you
These warm moments hide the security codes of reflective clothing. The data has long been confirmed: according to statistics from the China Road Traffic Safety Association, pedestrians wearing reflective equipment at night have a 10 fold increase in the distance they are detected by vehicles, and the accident rate has decreased by 62%; According to a survey conducted by the European Union on sanitation workers, areas equipped with standard reflective clothing have seen a nearly 50% decrease in work-related injuries and fatalities. This is not a cold number, but a “buffer zone” built by reflective clothing for life.
It is never exclusive to any particular profession: it can be a reflective strip on the delivery man’s jacket, durable and eye-catching; It can be a reflective pendant on a child’s backpack, with a cartoon design that hides peace of mind; It can be a reflective border on the elderly’s morning exercise clothes, making children less concerned; It can also be a reflective decorative strip for overtime commuting bags, providing an extra layer of protection on the way back at night.
There is no such thing as “luck” in safety. The risk of “invisibility” in the darkness may be hidden in every night of return, every morning exercise, and every journey to and from school. A reflective garment, costing only a few dozen yuan, can increase the probability of being seen and block danger in front of oneself.
Don’t let darkness become a blind spot for safety! Add a reflective garment to your family and prepare a set of reflective equipment for yourself, so that the bright light becomes a safety signal in the darkness. When the reflective strip lights up in the night, it not only illuminates the road under your feet, but also the hope of reunion for every family – safe travel, it should be “lit up” like this!
