Pass it on to more people! There were 75 children next to the car, and the driver couldn't see a single one
Before watching the video below, how much do you know about the blind spot of the vehicle? Do you know how big an SUV's blind zone really is?
After 75 children crouched, the driver could not see a single one
A few days ago, the traffic police of Zhengzhou, Henan Province did a test.
Li Bing, deputy director of the office of the second detachment of the Zhengzhou traffic police, let a kindergarten teacher sit in the driver's seat of an SUV police car and put on an eye patch. Subsequently, the traffic police guided 75 kindergarten children to stand in the blind area around the vehicle.
After waiting for the children around the vehicle to squat, Li Bing asked the teacher to remove the blindfold.
However, by looking around the vehicle and looking in the rearview mirror, the teacher did not even notice a single child!
After watching this video, netizens said that drivers must pay attention to the blind spots around the car before driving.
What is a vehicle blind spot?
The so-called vehicle blind zone is the part of the area where the driver is in the normal driving position, and his line of sight is blocked by the car body and cannot be directly observed. Once pedestrians or non-motor vehicles enter the blind spot of the vehicle, they are easily "swallowed" by the vehicles that start and turn.
Li Bing introduced that the wider and higher the car body, the greater the range of the vehicle's blind zone. In addition, when the vehicle is moving, the blind zone is larger than when stationary.
What should drivers and pedestrians pay attention to for blind spots?
Li Bing stressed that drivers must develop the habit of observing around the car for a week before getting into the car. This can not only effectively find obstacles in the vehicle's blind spot, but also observe the state of the vehicle itself, such as whether the tire is flat. In addition, when the driver turns the vehicle, he tries to move his body back and forth as much as possible, so that he can see the state in the blind spot of the A-pillar.
SUV models are taller than ordinary sedan bodies, and the blind zone is also larger, and children entering the blind spot of the vehicle or squatting next to the car to play are easy to cause traffic accidents. Longer and wider trucks have a greater blind spot.

Li Bing reminded that parents must repeatedly tell their children not to play around the vehicle on weekdays, and do not let their children out of their sight when they go out. When encountering large trucks, whether adults or children, the farther away from them, the better.
