At 22:22 on March 18, 2022, when the four brigades of shaoxing high-speed traffic police were on duty at the G60 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway Zhuji exit epidemic prevention inspection, they found that a medium-sized passenger car was crowded and suspected of overloading, and the police immediately went forward to direct it to pull over for inspection.
After counting, this medium-sized bus carried a total of 15 people, and the approved number of passengers in this car was only 10 people, and the overcrowding rate reached 50%! Asked the driver Master Yue learned that these people in the car are workers on the nearby Baolong Square construction site, this morning was pulled by two cars to hangzhou Xiasha construction site to work, when he came back at night there was only one car, the driver Master Yue wanted to transport the workers back. As a result, he was caught by the high-speed traffic police.
In the end, the police imposed a fine of 100 yuan on Master Yue and a penalty of 6 points on the driver's license.
Afterwards, the Zhejiang Provincial Transportation Group Expressway Hangzhou South Management Center sent a car to send the overcrowded personnel back to Baolong Plaza.
Strictly eliminate overcrowding and illegal acts
Vehicle overcrowding, there are many safety hazards in itself. The load mass of the vehicle increases, and then the total mass increases, destroying the foundation of vehicle design, manufacture and use, and adversely affecting the dynamic performance, anti-rollover performance, steering performance, braking performance and tire performance of the vehicle, which can be roughly divided into the following four aspects:
The impact of overcrowding on vehicle dynamic performance:
Overcrowding reduces the dynamic performance of the vehicle, reduces the vehicle's ability to avoid obstacles, change lanes, etc., and reduces the driving speed, which makes the speed difference between vehicles larger and increases the probability of accidents. The greater the speed difference between vehicles, the greater the probability of a traffic accident.
The impact of overcrowding on the rollover performance of the vehicle:
The narrower the wheelbase and the higher the center of gravity, the more likely it is to roll over.
Effect of overcrowding on vehicle steering performance:
In order to ensure directional stability, when the car is designed, the center of gravity of the vehicle is generally moved forward. When the bus is overcrowded, the rear weight becomes larger, the center of gravity shifts backwards, when a certain speed is reached, the front wheel steering or is subject to minimal interference, it will swing sharply and rotate sharply, and it is very easy to slip or overturn.
Effect of overcrowding on vehicle braking performance:
On the one hand, the overcrowding changes the reasonable distribution of braking force between the axles, which can easily lead to accidents such as longer braking distance, steering failure during braking, vehicle tail throwing, etc. On the other hand, under working conditions such as long slopes, because the braking is frequent and intense, it is easy to make the brakes heat up and damage, which in turn affects the braking efficiency and even causes brake failure
