On March 19, 2021, two women in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, mistakenly used the accelerator as the brake while driving a vehicle, causing a traffic accident. I would like to express my opinion on this.

Whether on TV or on mobile phones, we often see or hear news about traffic accidents caused by mistakenly using the accelerator for the brake. Some people think that the driver is too stupid. This kind of thing is definitely It won't happen to you. And some people must have poor driver skills. Driving schools must strictly control the driving skills so that novices can learn real driving skills. Some people will think that this driver must be a novice.

He will be in a hurry when encountering unexpected situations. It's easy to make mistakes, and it's not uncommon to mistake the accelerator for the brake. Of course, such a situation does exist in reality.

In addition, let’s not ignore that mistaking the accelerator for the brake is not just for novices. Some experienced drivers will also make such mistakes. If they have some bad habits when driving, it will also lead to such mistakes. situation occurs. Many accidents caused by mistakenly using the accelerator as the brake are basically caused by driving automatic transmission. Veteran drivers are accustomed to using their left foot to step on the brake and their right foot to step on the accelerator. When slowing down and parking, they also step on the left foot with their right foot in the air. This has a drawback. It is especially easy to step on the accelerator when there is an emergency and chaos. When driving an automatic car normally, you use one foot to operate. When your right foot is off the accelerator, place it on top of the brake, so that your right foot will not hang in the air. In addition, when the vehicle is driving, whether we are a novice or an experienced driver, we must pay attention, do not be distracted, do not play with mobile phones, and pay more attention to the situation of the vehicle in front. A high degree of concentration will not make us panic.

In recent years, using the accelerator as the brake has become one of the culprits of many traffic accidents. Safety is no small matter. The tragic scene and the broken family all remind us to drive scientifically and standardly and avoid bad driving habits. If we do not pay attention to these while driving, it may cause a false alarm at best, or endanger the lives of ourselves and others.
