How to Shop Online Safely in 8 Steps

The Internet often represents an obstacle to making online purchases: security, guarantee of the goods to be purchased, possible scams are some of the factors that require reflection. Online commerce is also surpassing real commerce, especially in some sectors other than the food sector: by now records, books, electronics, but also medicines, technologies, and homeware, prices are better on the web than on physical stores.

In the boundless world of the internet and the online world, information has taken on a fundamental role: criticisms, opinions, opinions, feedback from other users allow us to become aware of the "reputation" of the counterpart that we do not know.

How to shop safely online:


Search on the search engines for what you need

Read third-party reviews if they are positive or negative about that specific site or seller

Compare the prices of the same goods offered by different sites or sellers

Before buying, calculate the real cost of the property, including shipping costs and any taxes

Choose the type of shipment that you should have

Check that the product factory does quality things

Place your order online

Pay with a prepaid card or cash on delivery, avoid paying with credit cards linked to your main checking account. Online commerce is never 100% secure.

Shop online without worries

Security is the crucial node in the world of e-commerce and related payments: there are a privacy problem and a problem of correctness and security of payment transactions.
One of the primary precautions is to check the presence of https in the URL of the website we are interested in (blocking external intrusions in sensitive data area).

The second care is to check the contractual conditions for the service (purchase) before finalizing the transaction. Most e-commerce sites require a registration phase, which takes the form of having a user code and password available. The reserved use of these credentials allows increasing the level of security for our online purchases.

Let's consider the payment phase when the purchase is finished.


Security for online payments


How to make secure online payments? Each online purchase is perfected with the payment, which can take place with credit cards, prepaid credit cards, Paypal (less the possibilities offered to settle by bank transfer, or other). Traditional (non-prepaid) credit cards are widespread, but it is not certain that each of us has ownership, or for the most varied reasons we have never been interested in having it.

Considering the possible scams on the internet, with the theft of sensitive data, even in the face of the use of the above precautions, many prefer a prepaid credit card. We are talking about a credit card, similar to the traditional one, but with a limited credit limit: usually, you just credit a sufficient amount to cover the online purchase. In this way, the cardholder is sure that, should fraudulent use of the card occur, he would only risk the amount deposited, and not the overall ceiling as in traditional credit cards.

An alternative to credit cards is the use of Paypal.


This system represents a system for the dematerialization of credit cards. Paypal provides for a registration phase on your site (paypal.com) and provides for a configuration phase of your profile: online account combined with a traditional credit card, prepaid, or bank circuit.

The Paypal account foresees a recharge phase, and the relative use of the Paypal account allows not to provide the credit card data on the website for online purchases.

After making an online purchase


Having a relationship based on fairness and transparency is essential for every online purchase. Once the purchase is concluded, it may happen that the purchased good presents faults, or anomalies that do not make the good usable or do not meet our expectations, making it necessary to return it.
In order to be serious, each e-commerce site must dedicate a section to the policy of returning goods, and / or refunding payments made.

The theme of the guarantee (of the good) in the online purchase becomes more and more important.

Let's try to consider some established platforms for online purchases.

Online shopping platforms

Among the most established platforms, we can place Amazon.
Amazon is "a great digital store" where you can buy everything. The categories of products offered by Amazon range from the most disparate: electronics, clothing, books, etc.
The peculiarity of Amazon lies in the fact that the company proposes itself both as a direct seller and as an open shop for other sellers, who use Amazon as a support shop for their products.

Amazon aims to offer excellent service, perfect packaging, and of course to save the buyer.

A registration phase is also required on the Amazon website, with the obtaining of user code and password before placing the purchase. Having a personal area allows you to monitor the purchase process, delivery times, etc.

The company offers privacy protection and advanced security.

The feedback system (review of the purchase or opinion on the seller) represents a suitable mechanism to expose the possible misconduct of the seller, who would be exposed to his behavior.
Amazon also offers the possibility of having an Amazon Prime account (paid service). This service allows you to have same day shipments, discounts, and other facilities.

Buying and selling between users


Subito.it is a large, completely Italian ad portal: buying and selling between private individuals of the most varied types of goods. The portal works through advertisements of the type for sale, or wanted, which provide for the insertion of advertisements or to make transactions for already existing advertisements. The portal leverages the agreement between buyer and seller to complete the sale, for example for payment methods, and the collection of the goods.

There is a registration phase for the insertion of the advertisement, and the service is mainly free.
There is a paid service to give greater visibility to your sales announcement, which otherwise would queue as more sales announcements are inserted.

Online shopping on eBay


eBay has been the first e-commerce site since 1996. A wide variety of items can be purchased on the platform, and it has the structure of a shop with shop windows.
eBay does not deal with shipping and selling but hosts several professionals, or not, who do it. On the other side, there is a community of buyers, who can be simple private individuals or professionals.

The platform is considered safe for online purchases, and its strength is the feedback mechanism. This mechanism allows shedding light on the possible incorrect behavior of the sellers.
Each advertiser offers its own service for packaging, delivery times, and payment methods. Items offered for sale can be either new or used. eBay is not responsible for delays, or for the condition of the item.

eBay is a kind of broker, which uses its own counterparty protection guidelines.
Most of the transactions are settled with Paypal.
Online shopping on Italian platforms: ePrice

ePrice is an Italian platform for online purchases of items of different kinds: sports, technology, personal products, etc. There is a registration phase (free), after which you can make purchases at affordable prices.

This platform also offers the Pick and Pay service: it is possible to collect the purchased goods directly from the nearest ePrice point, thus saving shipping costs.
High are the security standards both for privacy and for the protection of the payment transaction data. Other sites for safe online shopping are, among many, Zalando, Wish, Kijiji, Bonprix, etc.

Buying online: conclusions


The world of online shopping, on the Internet, has grown and grown exponentially, and it is now possible to find any type of goods online.

In addition to the preliminary advice provided above, in order to be able to choose a site for our online purchases, it is good to consider the presence of reviews on the internet. Maybe they can be considered "trivial", but the reviews have the strength to bring to light deception and scams suffered by buyers before us, who have turned to a certain seller.
If you use platforms that are not correctly translated into Italian, it is perhaps better to evaluate carefully. The same goes for little-known platforms: you cannot be sure of the correctness and seriousness of the company behind it.

On the payment methods, we say that it is better to prefer Paypal which offers a protection service against goods that have not arrived (dispute and opening of a refund procedure). If not possible, perhaps it is better to opt for a form of payment on delivery, and if not possible a prepaid credit card.
Maybe it can be a discounted advice, but it is good to pay attention to the internet, to the online purchase of super discounted products, or offered at too low a price, especially if it is quality items or fashion items of famous brands.

How to learn graphics

Ok, here we are, after years of writing on this blog I finally decided to sit at the desk and write a complete guide on how to learn Graphic Design. Because looking on the internet, even with " how to learn graphic design " and things like that in English, the truth is that nothing really useful and practical can be found.

Precisely for this reason, this article I am sure you will like it
But before we start ... let me introduce myself!

I am Lorenzo Miglietta. I am a Graphic Designer and in 2014, while I was still a student, I created Grafigata.com, the blog you are reading. Over the years, a community of more than 20,000 designers was born around Grafigata and Grafigata has become the most appreciated and most-read the blog on graphics in Italy. In recent years, with Team Grafigata, I have also created some of the most advanced and complete online video courses on graphics. Such as ABC Graphic Design, the advanced course on the basics of graphics.

for a course Graphics Design Training in bangladesh

Where to start to learn graphics?


Such an article is obviously aimed at many people. There are those who are still a high school student, who is at university and who instead wants to reinvent his career.

The point is that everyone starts from a different point.
But the first thing I want to say is this: you cannot in the least think of becoming a good designer without studying. And by study, I don't just mean exams at university or something. By study I mean things like: reading books, constantly inquiring, deepening, being curious, never being satisfied with what you already know (or think you know).

In this regard: discover the list of the best graphics and design books divided by topic.
Although many people look superficially at the world of graphics, considering it something simple, the truth is that it is an extremely delicate matter, extremely thorough and full of pitfalls.

So: study, be curious (which is the feature I consider most important for a designer ).
Design school: yes or no? Spoiler: if you can, yes.
Ok, in an article on how to learn graphics, we cannot fail to talk about school, university, or academy.
The big question: do you have to go to university to learn graphics?

The answer is it depends.

But I want to be clear immediately: the University, if chosen well and faced with the right spirit, is certainly the right choice in 80/90% of cases.
This is because a university or academic course, generally of three years, allows you to acquire in the best way the right approach to the subject. Being in a creative environment, the possibility of constantly exchanging information and constantly receiving feedback, obviously represent a competitive advantage compared to those who do not go to university.

Precisely for this reason, when I receive e-mails of boys or girls asking me whether or not to do the triennial, I generally recommend yes.

But is it impossible to study as a self-taught?

Absolutely not! Some of the best and most successful young designers I know are basically self-taught. While at the same time, there are some of my former college classmates who have ridiculous skills and who have probably wasted three years of their life pulling one exam after another to take a useless piece of paper (for them).

The truth is that to become a graphic designer, the important thing is to acquire the skills and learn what I like to define the "right approach" to design.
Most of these skills can be learned safely on your own!
There are online resources, like this Grafigata blog you are reading, that offer you a quantity of free content which in itself covers a good 60/70% of the basic skills needed.

the rest can be reached with paid video courses, books, and a lot of patience, perseverance, training, and experience. The advantage of those who train themselves is that they have the time to make more work experiences (even experiences of me ** a, yes), to make more personal projects, to acquire skills to be immediately adapted to the world of work. the huge disadvantage, however, is that it is very difficult to have a well-organized learning path, which takes you from A to Z as it does for those who attend a three-year course.

So, in short, summed up:

Yes: it is possible to learn from self-taught

Yes: it is much more difficult to do it (and it is very likely to have gaps on the bases). But it is not impossible!

Which university/school to choose to learn how to make graphics?

Returning to the University topic: one of the questions I most often receive is “ Lorenzo, which University do you recommend? ".
None! How can I give advice on such an important choice in a person's life? Furthermore, I cannot give the same advice I could give to a boy son of transhumant breeders in the Abbruzzese countryside to the daughter of two surgeons from Milan ( good examples, nor? ).

The choice of which university to do for graphics depends, for example, on:
Where do you live and where are you willing to live?
Unfortunately, many of the best universities are in the North (Milan in particular) and this can be a problem. But in any case, there are many extremely valid ones also in the south, both public and private.

Another big difference is between small towns and big cities. If you already live in the city you are obviously closer to the universities;
Are you willing to move? In case you don't live near the universities you want to go to;
How much can your family spend? (Or you personally)

In many sectors, in Italy, private universities are not that much better than public ones. Unfortunately, this is not the case in design. Schools like IED, NABA, ILAS, etc., are excellences that allow you to train yourself more fully than even the best polytechnics.

But this must not be a limit for you, it must not be a reason for renunciation. Can't you afford an installment of 10 thousand euros per year? Well, luckily Italy is a European country and we are not in the USA: public universities are often excellent here (not all, however).

However, beyond these aspects, I always recommend choosing a course that is as in line with what you want to do in life as possible. If you already know you are interested in a very specific branch, such as Motion Design, for example, go find a specific course on the subject.

If, on the other hand, you have the most confused ideas or you think you need a more complete but also more generalist training, then focus on a three-year course (like the classic "Communication Design" courses or courses of this type).

The key thing, however, is to study

As I said before, I know excellent designers who have trained themselves and bad "designers" who have only one more piece of paper in their curriculum and few real skills.
The difference, whatever your course of study, makes it the commitment you put into studying for your business. This is something that I really want to emphasize: even if you go to a university, academy, or school that is, you still have to study as a self-taught person if you want to become a good graphic designer.

But what should we study, then?


What to study? What do you need to know to be a good graphic designer?
Ok, studying is fundamental, it's true. But what to study? Let's see together the macro-topics on which you will have to focus your study in the coming months and years.
For each point, I will refer you to other articles I wrote on Grafigata so that you can save them as a favorite or start reading immediately

Drawing (do you have to know how to draw?)

Often, when we talk about Graphic Design or Design in general, we end up also talking about drawing. Drawing is a tool that, in fact, can be extremely important for a designer.
So a designer must know how to draw? Short answer: no.
I also talked about it in this old article. It depends on what is meant by " knowing how to draw ".
If by "knowing how to draw" you intend to paint pictures, make hyper-realistic pencil drawings, perfect portraits, or wonderful illustrations, then the answer to the initial question is a dry one: no, it is not necessary.

All of this has nothing to do with design. In fact, the design is not art, it is not the production of a single piece. Design is the design of something, an object, a poster, a website, designed to be mass-produced and used by many different people. And it is the design of something that must serve a certain goal. Of course, if the goal is precise to create a well-made illustration or a cool design to use within a project, well, in that case being good at drawing is extremely useful.

On the other hand, what is extremely important for all designers is the ability to exploit the design to find ideas, test them quickly and to make them concrete. In short: he must know how to make sketches, he must know how to do sketching.

A designer must use drawing as a tool for creativity. The better you are at making sketches and sketches, the faster your ideas will flow on paper.

To learn more, I refer you to this old article that I wrote on the subject.

The graphic composition


The first and primary knowledge to be obtained is to understand how the graphic composition works and, that is, the design of a layout. The composition, or the arrangement of the graphic elements inside the predetermined "container", is, in fact, one of the main elements of the graphics.

This "container" can be a physical page like those of a book, magazine or flyer but also that of an advertising poster. But it can also be a software document or a website page.

Designing a page layout means using texts and images to tell a story, convey a message, or communicate something.

Layout and grids


The layout can be of two types: it can be a grid layout or a free grid layout.
The grid-based layout is obviously based on a graphic grid structure.
The graphic grids, in practice, are a subdivision of the workspace through vertical and horizontal lines aimed at organizing the spaces and delimiting the elements that will make up a project.

A grid is therefore not a random set of lines that are an end in itself. It is used to organize the elements that are placed on the page. Examples of layouts designed using graphic grids are books, magazines, newspapers, letters, documents, websites, etc.

For further information: Guide for designers to graphic grids.
Many layouts, however, are not built based on predefined grid structures but are free-form.

Of course, in this type of layout you still work with guidelines and alignments, you still have the aim of generating something harmonious, balanced and balanced, but you do it freely, without pre-built grids. In this sequence of slides extracted from the ABC Graphic Design course you see exactly what I mean:


In practice, in free-form layouts, if the content changes, the structure, and composition also change. And the grids are still used but only to align different elements with each other. The letters (font and typography) Another fundamental element of graphics is the use of letters and, that is, typography.

By Typography, obviously I do not mean the workshop or physical shop where the products are printed, I mean the matter of Typography, or the study of typographic characters and the layout of the characters on the page. The characters are, in graphics, like bricks in architecture, atoms in physics, or numbers in mathematics.

In short, they are the basis of the graphic material.
Some historical works by the great designer Herb Lubalin. Master of Typography.
The "Type" helps to convey the first impression of each project and each page. It is important because the observer is conditioned by the type of typography used, even before reading the content.

In fact, typeface conveys emotions and has a personality.
It can be friendly or aggressive, it can convey a traditional and elegant or modern and synthetic appearance, it can appear feminine or masculine and so on.

A good designer is one who is able to make the best use of typefaces. Not only knowing how to choose the right one but also how to manage it within the project, based on the type of message you want to convey.

How To Sell Watches Online presentation

The best way to reach a large number of buyers is online. It makes sense to sell your watch through a marketplace like ours. If you decide to list your watch, the presentation is really important. This can have a big impact on the price you get.

We can give you tips on your listing so that you get the best price when you contact us. However, there are also some rules by which you can ensure that your used watch is presented in the best possible way. The three categories we're going to talk about today are Photography, Description & Documentation.

The online world is incredibly visual. You will find that photography on our website took a lot of time - and for good reason! Your listing is like the window of your sale, without a really clear picture of what you are selling, nobody will buy it.


So it's important to invest some time or money on good photos if you don't have the photography skills required. We can't cover everything, but here are a few pointers to consider.

Your photos have to reproduce your watch true to the original, ie you have to take pictures that show the watch from different angles. You need pictures for the dial, case back, buckle, bracelet, and case. Do not try to hide imperfections. You still need to list the condition of your watch. Buyers want to know exactly what they're buying.

staging & Isolation:


It is important that your watch is at the center of your pictures. If you want to wear it on your wrist, that's fine, but make sure the part of the watch you want to display is clearly defined and in focus. A simple background is best. If your watch is black, it shows best in pure white. You may want to play around a bit and get inspiration from other photos in the shop.

Positioning:


One of the biggest challenges is dazzling the face or the case. This is especially the case when you have cleaned your watch and we hope that it is! You need to play with your watch's angle of view to reduce glare and ensure that what you're shooting is clearly visible.

Lighting:


Lighting is a very big topic & can have a big impact on the quality of your photos. The lighting can help you highlight the aspect of the watch that the viewer should focus on. It can also be a double-edged sword and add extra shine, so be careful.

Recording :


You don't have to buy any special equipment, but if you have an SLR camera, we recommend that you use it. Otherwise, phone or iPad does the trick and is perfectly fine for use on our website. It is important that you have a tripod no matter what technology you use. This ensures that your picture is crystal clear.

description


The great thing about an entry with us is that you don't have to be an excellent copywriter since we automatically create your entry based on the technical details you provide. You need to make sure you have the following information on hand:

brand
collection
model
reference
gender
year
Status
documentation

The last category is about documentation. Having the box and papers to prove the authenticity of the watch increases the price of your watch. Your buyer wants to know that he is buying something authentic. Documentation is not the only way to recognize this, but it does add value.

Complete box

Certificate of authenticity

Certificate of origin

Original proof of purchase

With these 10 tips, your coloring takes longer

Would you like to keep your coloring for a long time? No problem: from the proper shampoo to the final touch, here we show you our best tips.

We gladly spend money on dyeing our hair, but we also want the color to last as long as possible. Because the coloring is only worth the money spent if it is not gone after a few days! There are very simple tips with which you can extend the color of your hair by a few weeks. Discover the top 10 here!

Wash dyed hair properly


The color can lose its intensity much more quickly if you do not wash your hair properly. Follow these 5 tips when making your shampoo to be sure not to wash off the color.

Shampoo only 24 hours after coloring/dyeing

Freshly colored pigments need time to attach to the hair. Therefore, you must absolutely wait 24 hours after the coloring treatment before washing your hair again.  you may read also this fix hair color

Farbshampoos


Wash your hair less often
Even without this, shampoos have a great influence on the colorfastness. Do not wash your dyed hair too often, especially if you are wearing a bright tone or have had a significant color change.

Use the right shampoo


Dyed hair needs adequate shampoo. For bright colors, you should absolutely use a coloring shampoo, for blond hair it is a moisturizing or nourishing shampoo. For brown hair, a coloring shampoo may be ideal, but, if the color differs only slightly from your natural color you are free to choose and use a shampoo that goes with your hair type.


Shampoo only at the root


Many women wash their hair badly. Because the tips should not be covered with foam during shampooing. It is important, especially for hair that has just been dyed, to apply the shampoo at the root and to massage it into the hair. The tips are sufficiently washed when the shampoo is rinsed.

Coldwater to finish


Here is a little secret that our grandmothers already knew, even if dyeing hair was not as common and was not done with such vibrant colors at that time. At the end of each shampoo or treatment, rinse the hair with cold water. This closes the cuticle and thus fixes the color in the hair.

Haarfarbe-haltbarkeit-verl-ngern


Care and styling for colored hair
The color pigments are placed deep inside the hair. The coloring must, therefore, penetrate deep into the hair and store the pigments there. The important thing for the care of dyed hair is that the cuticle remains tightly closed. Color pigments can no longer escape.

Seal the color with a detangler


The detanglers have been specially designed to "seal" the hair. To prolong the hold of the color, a detangler is therefore essential. Detanglers for dyed hair can even contain silicones because they trap color particularly well. But beware: there are silicones and silicones! Make sure that the silicones used are of excellent quality as in professional detanglers. Here you can find more details on silicones in hair products.

Protect hair from heat when styling


Styling devices are another reason why color can fade faster. The hair is indeed damaged by heat and the color can leave more quickly. Heat protection is therefore compulsory. As the color can already pass with brushing, we recommend that you apply Discipline - Keratin Thermique heat protection from Kérastase to towel-dried hair.


Protect them from the sun


The sun can also harm the coloring. UV rays can indeed penetrate the hair and destroy the pigments. With an anti-UV spray, you can prevent this phenomenon. It is enough to spray the hair each time directly before sunbathing so that the color is protected.

UV-Schutz-Spray


Refresh the coloring at home
If you followed the previous advice, your hair is now perfectly protected against fading. But what happens if the first gray hair appears at the root or if the color, despite all your efforts, fades slowly? Again, we have prepared some good tips for you.

Hide the roots with Root Concealer

Root Concealer is your absolute lifesaver if roots or small gray hair appear. Root Concealer exists as a spray or powder. It is sprayed or dabbed on the roots and the product holds until the next shampoo.

Intensify the color with a Color Conditioner


The Color Conditioner is a wonderful product to refresh hair coloring. These detanglers contain few colored pigments, which attach to the outside of the hair and thus revive the color. Whether your hair is blonde, brown or red, there is Color Conditioners in all colors and you can also compensate for unsightly shades with them, such as when your hair "tends" to yellow or red.

Taxi drivers have devised a new type of scam at the airport. You will get a tourist tax of CZK 256

In 2021, the Czech airline Aeroholding (responsible for providing Services at Prague Airport) signed an exclusive contract with two taxi companies - Fix Taxi and Taxi Prague (Tick Tack). Airport representatives have tried to provide visitors with quality services - only the taxi drivers in Prague have such a "good" reputation around the world that you can read "only good" on many portals on the net and in the press, more chosen when it comes to the services offered.

Tourists have rightly complained about the prices requested - you will certainly not like to be asked for two thousand crowns from the airport to the center. Exactly this kind of problem should have been prevented by the exclusive contract signed with the new suppliers. At this time there are both starting and fixed rates per kilometer.

Taxes are up to three times more expensive than in London

The new taxi companies have adhered to these prices, but customers are still facing various scams. Because the service charge is one of the most unclear elements at the moment. Its value for Prague Airport is 10 EURO. In comparison, at London's Heathrow airport it is £ 2.80, and in Malta, it is € 0.5 per person, which is equivalent to paying around 100 crowns for a fully equipped car. But not in Prague. The tax paid by the client is arbitrarily set by the taxi companies, and the representatives of the Prague Airport pass this sight, declaring that it is the responsibility of the tenants. As long as they fulfill their obligations to the airport, they can escape without any sanction.

But it is not only the customers who suffer from taxi companies' policy. In a similar situation, there are also drivers who perform contract-based races and are charged with 27,000 crowns per month for renting a parking space in the Prague airport area and with 100 crowns for each entry made. Most of Prague Airport's contract partners are taxi drivers, who are VAT payers and need a monthly turnover of around 100,000 Crowns to pay their taxes and get a monthly net profit of 30-40,000 crowns... Drivers usually take five to six trips to Prague city center within 10 hours, and the journey back to the airport is almost always free, with no customer. Furthermore, must have concluded an operational lease for two years through the company Škofin, for which it pays approximately 22,000 crowns per month, with a maximum annual rate of 60,000 km. This means that, in practice, drivers are subjected to the pressure of obtaining maximum turnover in order to make a profit. taxi whitechapel

This, of course, is reflected in the customer's asking price. According to the information available on the internet and from discussions with airport drivers, they often choose longer, bypass routes, thus avoiding shorter routes to achieve as high a mileage as possible, and a voucher with as much value as possible. great for the race. with a maximum annual rate of 60,000 km. This means that, in practice, drivers are subjected to the pressure of obtaining maximum turnover in order to make a profit. This, of course, is reflected in the customer's asking price.

Currently, in the airport waiting room, there is a common stand, where both companies, which are supposed to be in competition, work together and request all kinds of illegal taxes. A drive from the airport to Žižkov will cost you 900 crowns, with the "freight charge" which is almost a third of the price. Such a tax only increases the revenues of the companies but removes the individual customers. And there are still a lot of questions that haven't been answered so far.


Who verifies the execution of the contract? Who has the power to impose the contractual penalty worth two monthly rents (up to 10 million crowns)? Of course, the airport is the one who has the power to do this, only he does not use this right at all.


Other carriers, who do not have an official stand at Prague Airport, do not face such problems, and many tourists prefer to work with them. UBER and other companies, such as TRANSFERS at the AIRPORT in PRAGUE, which run their services at fixed prices, do not mislead their customers, not even the dispatcher or taxi drivers.

Holidays with all the trimmings 2019: road safety passes through car care

Vacanze con I Fiocchi celebrates 20 years, the road safety campaign of the Antarctic Center that SicurAUTO.it has supported in its summer initiatives for some time. The 2019 edition is accompanied, as always, by the symbol of travel safety with the character of Snoopy behind the wheel. The road safety campaign Vacanze con I Fiocchi aims, as every year, to raise awareness of the dangers of the road which are amplified in the summer. Among the various initiatives, the delivery of information brochures to motorists, a social campaign and the presence at the toll booths of motorways to advise motorists on the road.

20 YEARS OF ROAD SAFETY

The national campaign for safety on holiday roads promoted by the Antarctic Center was born in 1999 to counter the peak of victims of the road that accompanies the great summer exoduses. A figure that, although improved over time, still remains current. This year the activities revolve around the theme of care ( for themselves, for other travelers and for their own vehicle) as a way to promote safety. Hundreds of members throughout Italy, including local administrations, highways, associations, and the media, told it once again with the usual collaboration of exceptional testimonials such as Piero Angela, Patrizio Roversi, Tessa Gelisio and the swimming champion Marco Orsi.

ROAD SAFETY TOLD BY PIERO ANGELA

It is the historical testimonial Piero Angela, active for Vacanze con I Fiocchi since the first edition, to open the materials of the 2019 campaign: " This year we have reached the twentieth edition of" Vacanze con I Fiocchi ", perhaps the longest-running road safety campaign in our country. Twenty years of a commitment that was born, today as two decades ago, from a look at the still dramatic accident data, especially in the summer months when many Italians travel for the holidays ". A celebration, therefore, that does not have the flavor of celebration since, to quote an expression dear to the countryside, "a long way to go still remains to be done". british airport transfer
ROAD ACCIDENTS INCREASE IN HOLIDAYS

In fact, the summer months, starting in July, are still those in which the highest number of accidents on the roads is recorded since in this period we most often get in the car. More than 1,200 people died on the street from June to September, equal to the number of passengers on a ferry, who disappear during the summer. Furthermore, if for 2018 the victims seem to be decreasing, -2% (preliminary estimate pending the data of ACI and Istat) - the only registrations of Stradale and Carabinieri for the first months of 2019 are alarming: + 6.7% more for the victims and + 5.6% for accidents with a fatal outcome. Away from the EU target of a 50% reduction in victims by 2020.

Using a seat belt: what should I know?

By virtue of art. 3rd para. 1 of the ordinance on road traffic regulations (ONC), in vehicles equipped with safety belts the driver and passengers must, during the race, fasten with the safety belt. Drivers must ensure that children under the age of 12 are properly insured. It follows that the driver and passenger who do not fasten their seat belts can be personally punished with a disciplinary fine (equal to CHF 60.- according to annex 1 numbers 312.1 and 800.1 of the ordinance concerning disciplinary fines [WCO]) . Since he is responsible for children under the age of 12 transported by him, the driver can be punished with a disciplinary fine (equal to CHF 60.- according to annex 1 number 312.
The obligation to use the seat belt is also applicable to drivers and passengers of taxis and coaches (tourist coaches that do not make regional journeys subject to timetables).

Using a seat belt: what should I know?


Drivers and passengers of vehicles used for regional journeys, subject to timetables, of transport companies under concession (public transport, post buses, etc.) are exempt from the obligation to fasten the seat belt (art.3a para. 2 ONC). As a result, it is not mandatory to use seat belts, for example in a postbus, even if, for personal safety reasons, it is recommended to do so. In general, failure to use the seat belt is considered serious negligence. According to the art. 37 para. 2 of the Federal Accident Insurance Act UVG, notwithstanding art. 21 para. 1 of the Federal Law on the General Part of Social Insurance Law (LPGA), if the insured caused the accident through gross negligence, the daily allowances granted in the framework of non-occupational accident insurance are reduced during the first two years following the accident ». The driver who does not use seat belts therefore risks a reduction in the compensation paid in the event of damage by his insurance or by a third insurance company. The same goes for the passenger. for a service please visit London airport taxi service

Law

While waiting at a red light with the engine running, a taxi driver briefly unfastens his seat belt to get a business card in a drawer located under the passenger seat. Before leaving again, at the green traffic light, he fastens again but is still punished with a fine for not using the seat belt (judgment 6B 5/2011 of 14 July 2011, DTF 137 IV 290). According to the art. 3rd para. 1 ONC, the seat belt must be fastened "while running". This means that when a driver stops at a stop sign, he does it "during the race". Consequently, the expression "during the race" can refer both to the vehicle in motion and to the vehicle when stopped. A stop on a parking lot or on a pitch does not fall within the provisions of art. 3rd para. 1 ONC. The expression "during the race" must therefore be interpreted as participation in road traffic. In this sense, the fact of entering or driving in road traffic are actions that the driver carries out "during the race". When a vehicle enters traffic or circulates on a road, occupants are required to fasten their seat belts. The duration of the journey extends from the time of departure to that of arrival. A stop made necessary by compliance with traffic regulations cannot be considered an interruption. occupants are under an obligation to fasten their seat belts. The duration of the journey extends from the time of departure to that of arrival. A stop made necessary by compliance with traffic regulations cannot be considered an interruption. occupants are under an obligation to fasten their seat belts. The duration of the journey extends from the time of departure to that of arrival. A stop made necessary by compliance with traffic regulations cannot be considered an interruption.

A motorist is the victim of a traffic accident without being guilty of it. During the impact, he beats his forehead against the central rear view mirror. Although fastened, the seat belt is not sufficiently tightened because it is equipped with a clip. The law does not prohibit the use of belt clips to make driving more comfortable. However, when such devices affect the functionality of the safety system, it must be assumed that the system and the role of the safety belt have been changed, which equates to a failure to use the safety belt (judgment 6S.41 / 2007 of 25 June 2007). Failure to use the seat belt (given the causality) is considered serious negligence and leads to a 10% reduction in the pecuniary benefits (DTF 109 V 150 considered 1 page 152; DTF 118 V 305 considered 2c page 307; judgment 6B_5 / 2011 of 14 July 2011). visit for more article https://varzuga.blogspot.com/
