At present, the province's expressway traffic police are carrying out highway safety protection operations to specifically deal with illegal acts of driving and passengers not using seat belts.

At around 12:00 on May 18, the Second Detachment of the Traffic Police Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department received a report that a rear-end collision occurred at 663 kilometers of the Zhengdong New Section of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, and some people were injured.

At the scene, two vehicles that caused the accident had moved to the emergency lane. The rear vehicle was a light pickup truck. The front windshield was hit into a "spider web". A middle-aged man squatted by the road in pain, holding his head with his hands, and his face was bleeding.

After inquiry, it was learned that the injured man was named Jiang. He was sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck at the time of the incident. He felt that wearing a seat belt was too restricted. In order to be comfortable, he bypassed the seat belt from behind his body and had an accident with the car in front when he drove to the new section of Zhengdong. Due to the large inertia and strong impact, Jiang, who did not wear a seat belt, hit the front windshield heavily on the front windshield. Fortunately, the car was slow at the time and there was no serious consequence. However, he gave Jiang, the passenger on the passenger seat, a "bloody safety class."

At 6:53 on March 1, Wang drove a heavy semi-trailer truck and reached the 300-meter section of Quannan Expressway 185 kilometers and 300 meters. Due to a slippery road operation error in rainy days, he hit the right and central cement protective walls of the highway. The front of the car then overturned. Wang died in the accident and another passenger was injured.

After the highway traffic police investigated, the speed limit of this section was 80km/h, while Wang's driving speed was between 93km/h and 97km/h. Wang did not wear a seat belt and was thrown out of the cab during the accident and died on the spot.

"The seat belt really saved my life at critical moments!" Faced with the police's inquiry from the police officers who handled the accident with a detachment of the highway traffic police corps, the driver Li was still in shock.

At around 7:00 on May 17, Li drove out to do business. When he drove to 7 kilometers of Zhengzhou Airport Expressway, he did not pay attention to the road conditions and improper personal operations, causing the vehicle he was driving to hit the highway guardrail at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, causing serious damage to the vehicle.

Fortunately, Li did not suffer any damage in the huge impact. Because Li was wearing a seat belt while driving and was protected by a seat belt and airbag, Li was in danger in the accident.
