Some insights on how to prevent road traffic accidents

According to statistics, the current vehicle ownership in Yantai City is that 7 out of 10 households own their own private cars, and many families buy a second private car. Therefore, road traffic congestion and frequent traffic accidents occur all over the country. Vehicle scraping accidents occur from time to time in urban areas, with an increase of about 15% every year. This has also become a major work problem for the public security and traffic safety management departments. How to ensure road traffic safety and create a safe, orderly, smooth and harmonious situation has become an issue that must be paid great attention to. When talking about traffic safety, we must first look at traffic violations. There are a large number of various traffic violations on the current roads. A large number of drivers ignore traffic safety laws and regulations and break the law wantonly; a large number of pedestrians jaywalk and climb over the central divider. Guardrails regard one's own life as child's play. Bicycles and motorcycles run rampant, pass through and change lanes at will, laying many hidden dangers for traffic safety. 1. Analysis of the main factors affecting road traffic safety When talking about daily travel safety, the main thing is to prevent road traffic accidents. Everyone knows that accidents can happen to anyone, as long as they are on the highway or street, every minute Traffic accidents may occur, or death, injury or disability may occur due to traffic accidents, leaving lifelong regrets. So what are the reasons for the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents? The reasons are people, cars, roads, etc. One is the human factor. It is well known that the main cause of road traffic accidents among traffic participants is human-induced. Human factors mainly include perception errors, judgment errors, reaction operation errors, and physiological reasons. Road traffic accidents are all caused by traffic participants' violations of road traffic safety. Management laws and regulations are caused, and traffic participants’ weak awareness of traffic safety is an important reason for breaking the law. Therefore, people are the most important factor in ensuring traffic safety. On the contrary, if traffic participants have a strong awareness of road traffic safety, there will be fewer violations and fewer accidents. Few and good order. In daily accident handling, traffic accidents caused by the perception errors and judgment errors of traffic participants accounted for more than 95% of the total traffic accidents; traffic accidents caused by operational errors and physiological reasons each accounted for about 2%. The second is the car factor. When a traffic accident occurs on the road, apart from human factors, it is the vehicle that has the greatest impact. Motor vehicles affect road traffic safety. Apart from the relative safe speed, it is the mechanical performance and safety performance of the vehicle, mainly braking and steering stability. performance, the most important of which is the car's braking performance; in addition, the vehicle's steering operation and light utilization cannot be ignored. In daily accident handling, the vehicle factor is mainly reflected in transportation vehicles, including passenger and freight vehicles. The owners of these vehicles often neglect vehicle repair and maintenance in order to maximize profits. Some vehicles may even become detached. The situation of the trial has laid hidden dangers for traffic safety. The third is the road factor. In addition to excluding human factors and vehicle factors, road traffic accidents are caused by poor road traffic conditions and incomplete safety supporting facilities, such as curves, ramps, bridges, sidewalks, intersections, construction sections, etc., which are very easy to occur. Traffic accidents, and the existence of traffic accident-prone points and sections illustrates the close connection between road traffic conditions and traffic accidents. The fourth is environmental factors. The road traffic environmental factors mentioned here mainly refer to natural meteorological conditions, such as rain, snow, fog, ice and other severe weather conditions; in road traffic, whenever a bad weather environment is encountered, someone will pay the price with their lives, especially It's ice, snow, rain and fog roads. At the same time, road lighting also affects traffic safety. There are relatively few road traffic accidents with street lighting at night. Therefore, drivers are required to reduce their speed and pay attention when driving on unlit roads. Recently, there have been continuous heavy rainfalls in this city, and the number of scratch accidents between vehicles has increased. This is because of the rainy weather, which caused poor vision and wrong judgment of drivers.

At the same time, in order to further reduce the incidence of traffic accidents, all traffic participants are required to learn the road traffic safety laws. Whether they are driving on the road or pedestrians walking on the road, they must travel in accordance with traffic regulations and abide by the law. Only in this way can the occurrence of road traffic accidents be effectively avoided. Second, ensure that the vehicle's mechanical performance is good. In order to actively prevent road traffic accidents, motor vehicle drivers are required to pay attention to the maintenance of their vehicles at ordinary times, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle's braking, steering, and lighting before leaving the vehicle every day; only the vehicle's mechanical Only by checking and debugging the safety performance well can you drive on the road without any problems, and avoid being derailed in emergencies or critical moments. Third, we must resolutely put an end to drunk driving. "Don't drink while driving, and don't drive after drinking." This is a strong reminder we often see from traffic police to drivers, asking them to ensure that they do not break the law before driving. At present, everyone who drives and does not understand that you cannot drive after drinking. Drunk driving is a traffic violation; drunk driving is very dangerous. However, in real life, once a few friends, classmates, and relatives get together, it is inevitable that everyone will have a few drinks together. It is not enough to drink less until they are full, and then they can go home. Those who have cars will naturally drive. At this moment, customs and habits defeated the concept of legality. After drinking, the car had to be driven. How could something not happen? Once a traffic accident occurs, it’s too late to regret it! Fourth, we must strictly abide by road traffic rules. When driving, motor vehicles must pay attention to maintaining a safe speed and distance between vehicles, keep to their own lanes, and do not overtake by force. When turning, vehicles must pay attention to vehicles going straight, and when reversing, be sure to confirm safety before reversing. Pay attention when parking on the road. Observe, get out of the car and open the door after stopping, and pay attention to the vehicles behind the car, etc. In short, from the beginning of getting on the bus to the final parking, there is no carelessness or sloppiness. 5. Remember to drive safely. Motor vehicle drivers must ensure safe passage throughout the whole process of driving, and always keep safety first. "I would rather stop for three minutes than rush for a second." This is also a strong reminder from the traffic police to the drivers to abide by the rules and laws. Driving, try to avoid traffic violations. At the same time, to take a step back, it is impossible to require the driver to drive a vehicle without committing a single illegal act. However, which illegal acts are allowed and which illegal acts are prohibited must be clearly distinguished; if it is not possible to distinguish which is more serious, What's more important, if you break the law wantonly with a sense of luck, the only result will be that you will be investigated and fined by the traffic police, or you will avoid the investigation and fine. That is safety that cannot be avoided. If safety is gone, traffic accidents will happen. (Correspondent: Wang Jian) ??Editor: Yantai Automobile Chamber of Commerce
