Due to improper operation, he swerved and braked suddenly, causing the vehicle to lose control and hit the corrugated guardrail and then hit the central isolation guardrail.According to predictions, the province will mainly face the following major prominent risks in January. First, the safety risk of operating vehicles causing accidents. Before the Spring Festival, the flow of returning home, traveling, and students are highly concentrated. Since December, the average daily number of passenger vehicles and freight vehicles passing through the province's highways has reached 22,000 and 383,000, respectively, showing a clear upward trend. In addition, Hunan Province will completely cancel inter-provincial toll stations on highways and implement highway entrance weighing. Over-limit and overloaded trucks will not be allowed to enter the highway. At that time, a large number of trucks will flow to ordinary national and provincial highways, which have fewer lanes, fewer segregations, and There are many openings and crossings, and mixed traffic of passengers, freight, and aircraft. In particular, some passenger and freight companies and drivers are rushing to meet construction deadlines in order to seek profits. Illegal behaviors such as speeding, overcrowding, overloading, and fatigue driving are on the rise, and the risk of accidents will increase significantly. The second is the risk of weak traffic safety foundation in rural areas.
At the end of December, migrant workers began to return home one after another, and the flow of vehicles and people gradually entered the peak period. Traffic chaos such as overcrowded vans, illegally carrying people in agricultural vehicles, drunk driving, and fatigue driving will increase significantly, especially at the end of the year and the beginning of the year when migrant workers return home and visit relatives. Reunions have driven a surge in demand for chartered passenger transport, and a large number of "black cars" are soliciting passengers through WeChat. Safety supervision of such vehicles is difficult. In addition, the overall performance of vehicles in rural areas is poor, roads are low grade, and the foundation of traffic safety is weak. The risk of traffic accidents requires a high degree of vigilance. The third is the risk of severe weather affecting safety. The meteorological department predicts that in mid-to-late January, low-temperature rain and snow will occur in most areas of the province, and mild freezing will occur in alpine mountainous areas. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and severe weather such as fog and haze will occur from time to time. Causing rear-end collisions and large-scale traffic jams.According to statistics, in the past two years, the number of general road traffic accidents and deaths in icy, snowy, rainy and foggy weather accounted for more than 20% of the total accidents, and an average of 3 general traffic accidents resulted in 1 death, which is 10 times higher than the average percentage points.
Traffic police remind: You need to pay attention to the following points when driving in winter:
Before traveling, you should pay attention to checking the vehicle tires, and it is best to carry safety equipment such as anti-skid chains with the vehicle. Operating buses must undergo routine safety inspections to ensure driving safety. Diesel vehicles must use diesel of the corresponding grade according to the temperature.
When driving at night or on rainy days, you should reduce your vehicle speed, keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, take braking and deceleration measures in advance if necessary, avoid emergency braking and emergency steering, and prevent the vehicle from slipping and causing danger.
When driving on icy and snowy roads, you must do "four slow and four slow". The first is to start slowly, slowly lift the clutch and lightly press the accelerator, and start slowly; the second is to turn slowly, turn slowly, and turn slowly; the third is to brake slowly, apply the brake slowly, and stop slowly; the fourth is to have a slow mentality and encounter road obstacles. The situation is complicated, so keep a calm mind, drive slowly, and do not speed.
When driving on a highway in foggy weather, especially at night or in the early morning when encountering thick fog or fog, you should slow down immediately and drive carefully. When the visibility is less than 50 meters, you must turn on the front and rear fog lights, width lights, and hazard warning flashers, and the vehicle speed must not be exceeded. If the speed exceeds 20 kilometers per hour, drive into the nearest service area or exit the highway.
When driving on rural and mountainous roads, reduce your speed and drive slowly, and do not speed, occupy the road, or rush to pass.
