On the morning of January 11
At the entrance of a community in Anyuan District, Pingxiang City
A private car driver when driving
Accidentally injured two pedestrians on the side of the road
Due to the fast speed
The car stopped after hitting a wall
The body is stuck between the wall and the fence
A pedestrian is hit and falls in front of a car
The front side of the vehicle was damaged
Anyuan traffic police brigade police investigation learned that the driver Sun Mou just got a driver's license for a year, in a hurry, improper operation, the wrong throttle as a brake and caused an accident, fortunately, the two people were only slightly injured.
The tragedies that occur when the brakes are stepped on the accelerator are not uncommon
Ostensibly, the situation is urgent
The reality is that good driving habits are not developed
Master the following methods
Effectively prevent similar accidents
1. Develop the habit of putting your feet on the brakes
As long as the driver's right foot is not in a refueling state, it is best to always be placed above the brakes and in a "warning" state. Once there is a situation, there is no need to make a judgment at all, just step on it. This way, there is no opportunity to use the throttle as a brake pedal, and you can press the brake down at the first time and at the fastest speed.
2. Don't get too close to the steering wheel
Many times, the driver is accustomed to adjusting the seat to be closer to the steering wheel, once an emergency, the closer distance makes the driver's front space smaller, reducing leg flexibility, so the distance between the seat and the steering wheel should be moderate.
3. After the engine engine, don't bend down to pick up things
If the engine is not extinguished or empty, if you bend down to pick up something at this time, the sole of the foot has not left the accelerator or the foot that was originally on the brake touched the accelerator due to movement, perhaps the sole of the foot will move with the body to produce a downward force, which will cause the vehicle to suddenly move forward and cause an accident.
4. Learn more about vehicle structure and performance
Most novice drivers do not know much about mechanical parts, the performance and internals of vehicles. Even many novice drivers do not know the substantive difference between automatic gear and manual gear, or because they are not familiar with the internal functions of the vehicle, it is easy to distract themselves when looking down for air conditioning, audio and other buttons, ignore their feet, and mistakenly use the brakes as the accelerator, causing traffic accidents.
5. Drive without high heels
Driving in high heels is very dangerous. Because the heel raises the fulcrum of the foot, invisibly increasing the strength and angle of the brake pedal, the driver needs to tiptoe to pedal hard to achieve the braking effect of normal pedaling. In addition, driving in high heels encounters an emergency, even if the driver wants to step on the brakes, it is likely that the root of the high heels is stuck under the throttle, resulting in the more force you want to step on the brake foot, the greater the force to step on the accelerator.
6, be wary of reversing left and right upside down
In many throttle brake accidents, some of them occur during the driver's reversing process. Because when reversing, whether through the rearview mirror or looking back, for the driver will form a feeling of left and right upside down, very prone to accidents. Therefore, in the process of reversing, the first principle that should be followed is that the soles of the feet must be "on standby" on the brakes when you are not stepping on the accelerator: when you are ready to reverse, the feet must first be on the brakes; when you turn your head and start reversing, it is still the same.
Pingxiang traffic police remind the majority of car owners and friends:
There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first.
Driving in the community should be slower, and the throttle brake should be remembered.
