To ensure the maximum level of passive safety for pedestrians, special bracelets have been developed, thanks to which drivers can timely notice a person crossing the road even in the dark and have time to brake. Unfortunately, not every pedestrian knows the real purpose of reflective bracelets and how to wear them.
Reflective bracelets can be of various types. However, each of them has special attachments for attaching to clothes and a special surface, thanks to which the bracelet starts to glow when rays of light hit it. The principle of operation of such an accessory is very simple. Headlights from an approaching car hit the surface of the bracelet and are reflected. It is the reflective glare that the driver of the car sees. Thanks to such a bracelet, the motorist has a reserve of distance and time sufficient to slow down or stop completely.
If the car is driving with the main beam on, then the person with the bracelet can be seen at a distance of four hundred meters, if the near one, then at a distance of one hundred thirty - one hundred and fifty meters.
Such a bracelet is capable of providing passive safety for every pedestrian. It must be worn on the arm or on the leg. Also, if you wish, you can attach the bracelet to your outerwear using threads or Velcro. Every pedestrian should be aware that a reflective wristband should be worn so that it is always visible. Otherwise, the light from the headlights cannot be reflected. Therefore, in winter, the bracelet is best attached to a jacket or any other outer clothing.
Some fashionistas like to wear this bracelet along with other women's accessories. This should not be done in any case, since then it will be covered with other jewelry or sleeves. A reflective bracelet should be worn on the free hand or worn over clothing.
Now in stores there is a fairly wide range of different reflective bracelets, which differ from each other in design and size. The wide range of colors will allow anyone to choose the bracelet that will best match their wardrobe.
It is worth noting that such accessories are inexpensive. Therefore, you can easily buy several different bracelets that differ from each other in shape and color.
