Safety Awareness Can Help You From Several Consecutive Traffic Accidents

Reading the newspapers in these two days seems to be all traffic accidents. Among them, two rear-end accidents in Sichuan and Shaanxi caused 48 lives to leave the world. Looking at netizens' comments, some people point the key point of the problem to the car itself: the glass of the sleeper bus cannot be opened, there is no escape door and a life-saving hammer; the safety of the van is so bad that there is neither a "nose" nor an ABS And ESP. I believe that these problems may be objective, but as a traffic participant, the first thing to think about is whether they have strong enough security awareness. Because only people with safety awareness will drive the vehicle very cautiously and will consciously abide by traffic laws.

At 23 o'clock on the August 25th, in Haining, Zhejiang, five girls stood on the carriageway waiting for a taxi. The driver of one of the cars failed to detect it in advance and knocked down three of them and killed one person. Three hours later, In Yanan City, Shaanxi Province, a freight car pulled out of the service area on the Baomao Expressway. It happened to be a sleeper bus that crashed into a truck. There were only 39 people on the train escaping and 36 people were killed; 11 hours. Later, in the territory of Guang'an City, Sichuan Province, on a Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, a van hit a large truck parked on the road because of a puncture, and all 12 people on board were killed.

The description of the above situation comes from news reports. If the report fully complies with the facts, it can be concluded that these three accidents are not traffic accidents. Their common feature is that they do not obey traffic laws. In other words, if pedestrians and drivers obey traffic laws, accidents can be completely avoided.

There is a very clear definition of road rights in the traffic laws, and road rights are mainly composed of rights of passage and priority. Cars walk in lanes, pedestrians walk on the sidewalks, and do their own thing. This is the right of passage. However, the five girls actually stood waiting in the middle of the road (as evidenced by the video screen), and the time was deep in the middle of the night. This kind of behavior was obviously taking the initiative to put themselves in a very dangerous environment. There was no safety awareness. Words.

Under the premise of having the right of way of passing, the two vehicles will meet each other, who will go first and who will leave. This is the priority problem to be solved. In accordance with the provisions of the traffic law, when driving into the main road, it must be on the premise that it will not hinder the main road vehicles from driving inwards. Because the main road vehicles have priority at this time, vehicles entering the main road must give courtesy. However, from the following photo of the site, the trucks leaving the service area obviously did not do this. Just after leaving the service area, they immediately merged inwards to occupy a lane, and the passenger car came at high speed and it was too late to take it. Measures, tragedies have taken place.

When entering or leaving the main road, the main road vehicle has priority, and the auxiliary road vehicle needs comity. This rule has been repeatedly broken in daily driving. The following photo is a map in the “Owner's Handbook of Private Cars” I wrote shortly. Such a situation can be seen everywhere on the road—go to the main road, immediately to the left, and do not consider the main The threat of road vehicles.

In addition, according to the current news, the bus driver was in a state of fatigue at the time, and he may not be able to concentrate on his sight and could not find the truck in front of him. In other words, fatigue driving may also be the cause of 36 deaths. In fact, another rear-end incident in Sichuan on the same day seems to be the reason. According to the traffic police, at the time of the incident, "the weather was in good condition and there was no rain, fog, smoke, or dust. The big trucks with punctures stopped in the emergency lane and placed warning devices." At first I thought it was the van driving along the emergency lane and hitting the truck. However, after looking at multiple scenes, I found that the front of the van was pointing at two o'clock, the front tire was intact, and there was no brake on the road. Judging from this, there seems to be only one possibility for the van to hit the wagon: When it approaches the wagon, it suddenly hits the wheel and hits the wagon. As for what causes the van driver to make such a suicidal behavior, I do not know. According to the conventional analysis, it is highly probable that the driver has been driving 300 kilometers continuously. It is just afternoon that he is paralyzed due to fatigue. Juezhong car deviation. Of course, there is a possibility that the van was disturbed by the vehicle in the left lane, due to improper driving.

Whatever the reason, this tragedy should be remembered by everyone: 1. Everyone has different ability to drive continuously. According to their own conditions, they should stop and rest properly. They must not be hardened. They must avoid fatigued driving. Always rest in the service area. 2. When driving, we must be far-sighted. The line of sight should be proportional to the speed, because when the speed is 100 kilometers per hour, if the line of sight is placed at 150 meters, there is only a reaction time of 5.4 seconds. If the sight is set at 200 meters, The reaction time is extended to 7.2 seconds. If you are not far away, do not increase your speed. 3, When driving at high speed, you must not rush to play round. When you drive at high speed, there is no difference with suicide. 4, it is best not to develop the habit of often left and right lines while driving (this is most common in urban roads).

There are indeed too many people around us who are superstitious about the car's performance and horsepower, and overly admiring the brand and grade of the car. I met a colleague and showed off my journey from Tianjin to Beijing in just 40 minutes. It turned out that this man drove the speed to 200 kilometers per hour on the Beijing-Tianjin-Tianjin expressway in the middle of the night. Asked whether or not I thought about danger, I answered: I am driving Mercedes-Benz. Looking at his face full of smirk, I would like to remind him that Diana is dead in the high-speed Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

In this regard, I think that the automotive media should also revise certain practices: Do not blindly promote the performance of cars, show off the power of the automobile, and spread more accurate and rational car culture to the general public. Just like a lot of space devoted to promoting new cars every day, at least one article is arranged on the layout every day to remind everyone that only by obeying traffic laws can the probability of accidents be minimized.

Many vehicles are driving on the road. If there are no rules, they will inevitably become chaotic. In fact, there is a very clear provision in the traffic law in the face of how to drive in various situations. Unfortunately, many people ignore its existence. These traffic accidents remind us that as drivers, we must abide by traffic laws and have a strong sense of security. Otherwise, tragedies may come to us at any time.
