Summer is coming, children and parents must keep these traffic safety knowledge points in mind

Summer vacation is coming. In order to allow students to stay away from traffic accidents during the summer vacation and grow up safely and healthily, the traffic police has compiled the following traffic safety knowledge points for you to learn together.

Vehicle blind spots can be roughly divided into "fixed" sight blind spots inside the car, "moving" sight blind spots outside the car, and "fixed" sight spots inside the car. Blind areas of sight include the blind area at the front of the car, the blind area formed by the A

pillar, and the blind area at the rear of the car. When children squat and play in the blind spot, the driver cannot see them in the cab, and a collision is likely to occur. Parents should be alert to the harm caused by blind spots, educate their children not to play around parked vehicles, and to keep a safe distance from vehicles.

Therefore, in daily education, parents should teach their children the correct way to cross the road. When crossing the road, you need to pay attention. When there is a crosswalk signal, follow the rules of "stop on red light, go on green light"; on sections without crosswalk signals, you should cross the road from the zebra crossing; when crossing a crosswalk, learn to look left and right. , pass quickly while ensuring safety, and never pass by force.

3. Teach children to abide by the riding rules

The law stipulates that children under the age of 12 are not allowed to ride bicycles on the road, and teenagers under the age of 16 are not allowed to ride electric bicycles on the road. This is Due to children's lack of accurate understanding and judgment of complex traffic environments, there is a high chance of danger if children ride on the road. If your child is old enough to ride, remember to teach them the rules of riding. When riding a non-motor vehicle, you need to pay attention to driving on the right and use the non-motor vehicle lane; when crossing the road, you must slow down, pay attention to the pedestrians and vehicles on both sides, and make sure it is safe before passing; it is strictly prohibited to occupy the motor vehicle lane and drive in the opposite direction; driving in the opposite direction is strictly prohibited. When riding, do not have many people walking side by side, climbing on each other, chasing each other, or fighting with each other; do not wear headphones or use mobile phones while riding.

4. Be sure to keep a distance from large vehicles when riding a bicycle

When parents take their children on bicycles, they should wear helmets and be careful to stay away from large vehicles. Large vehicles are larger and have larger blind spots, making it difficult for drivers to spot cyclists in the blind spots. Therefore, when you find a large vehicle approaching, try to stay away and keep a lateral distance of more than 3 meters.

Avoid Parallel for a long time; if you find a large truck turning right, stop immediately and avoid it in a direction away from it, because during the turning process of a large vehicle, the turning radius of the front wheel and the rear wheel is different, which will form an inner wheel difference. If you are riding If you are very close to a large truck, even if you avoid the front wheels, you may not be able to avoid the rear wheels, causing danger. In addition, you must drive in the prescribed lane, do not drive in the wrong direction, and do not run red lights.
