"Drive slowly, pay attention to safety", in our daily life, we often hear such a commandment, although this sentence is out of good intentions, but driving slower is really equal to safety? In fact, there are countless accidents caused by driving slow cars. There are many drivers, can not drive at all, driving is not will step on the accelerator brakes, will hit the direction is called to drive, right of way awareness, quality, safety awareness is extremely lacking.
First of all, let's define what is called driving a slow car, driving a slow car does not mean that you are driving at a low speed in poor road conditions, driving a slow car means that your speed is lower than the speed of traffic flow, and you are unique in the traffic flow of the whole road. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, driving a motor vehicle on the highway under normal circumstances is less than 20% of the minimum speed per hour, and a fine of 200 yuan is deducted.
Why is it dangerous to drive slowly? Because there is a guideline for safe driving, not to drive slowly, but to reduce the relative speed with other vehicles. For a simple example, a road speed limit of 60, everyone pressed the speed limit to open, the relative speed between the vehicles at this time is close to zero, as long as the distance between each other is reasonable, will effectively avoid the occurrence of accidents, and once there is an accident, due to the relative speed is small, the collision damage is also very small, in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and many other regions, although the speed on the road is very fast, but the accident rate is not high, the reason is this. But if there is a car driving slowly, at a speed of 30km/h, it means that either the car is followed by a long series of cars, or the rear cars have chosen to overtake the car, changing lanes and overtaking itself will increase the danger, plus a car driving slowly leads to a series of relative speed changes in the vehicle, and once an accident occurs, the damage will also increase. Driving slow cars seriously reduces the efficiency of road transport and even causes congestion, which is the main cause of urban congestion and increases the chance of accidents.
So why are there still so many people on the road driving slow cars?
First, the domestic driving test is a test-taking education. In fact, when we get a driver's license, all we learn is to remember the points and brush the questions, and we have not cultivated the awareness of driving safety, let alone driving ethics.
Second, the lack of quality, manifested in driving to play mobile phones, phone calls, set navigation, etc., anyway, they drive slowly, without considering the impact on other traffic participants.
Third, the technology is poor. Many drivers drive slowly because they are not skilled in driving, for example, many novices tend to drive at a slower speed.
Fourth, slow equals security. Even though the car behind me frequently changed lanes and overtook, the driver still stood still, let them fly away, and I drove my slow car.
Fifth, I want to save fuel. There are too many such examples, traffic lights turtle speed start, fast lane slow car, national highway slow car, even if there is no pedestrian in front of a car, still slow and leisurely, is to save some fuel.
Sixth, the traffic management departments are not strict in enforcing the law. China's traffic management department on the speeding of the law enforcement is more strict, but for the behavior of driving a slow car is generally turned a blind eye, traffic regulations stipulate that the speed of high speed is lower than 20% of the minimum speed, a fine of 200 yuan, 3 points, but how many cars have been fined for driving slow cars?
Many people think that driving slowly is their own freedom, I just drive slowly, and it's a big deal that you just overtake me. If you do not affect other traffic participants, for example, you are in your yard, even if you get out of the car and push, I do not care about you, but also praise you for your strength, but you drive a slow car on the road, it will affect other traffic participants, trouble you will not drive to find a vacant land to learn well, do not come out to harm other people.
