As a light and convenient and low-cost means of transportation, electric bicycles and motorcycles are loved by people of all ages, and they are everywhere in the streets and alleys. However, riding electric bicycles, motorcycles when it comes to wearing safety helmets, some people are afraid of affecting the hairstyle, some people are troublesome and delay time, and some people feel that wearing a helmet is hot and uncomfortable, they will "choose to wear light on the road", but you know? Helmets are a "life-saving barrier" for motorcycle and electric vehicle drivers, an "important weapon" to protect life safety, and the last line of defense after people encounter danger. How important is this helmet?
According to statistical analysis, about 80% of the traffic accidents that cause the death of motorcycle and electric bicycle riders are caused by head injury. If a safety helmet is worn correctly, the helmet can absorb most of the impact energy when an accident occurs, reducing the risk of traffic fatality by 60 to 70 percent. For e-bike and motorcycle riders, helmets are life-saving artifacts.
The safety of the masses is no small matter. In order to solidly carry out the "one helmet and one belt" safety protection action, further improve the safety protection level of motorcycle and electric vehicle riders, and effectively reduce the occurrence of road traffic accidents, especially casualties. Recently, the traffic police brigade of the Laixi Municipal Public Security Bureau launched the centralized action of "distributing love helmets to ensure travel safety", purchasing a total of 8,000 helmets in advance, distributing them free of charge to the majority of electric vehicles and motorcycle drivers, and organizing the first batch of "love helmets" distribution activities during the morning rush hour on October 25. In the activity, the police set up distribution points at many intersections in the urban area, distributed free of charge to the masses on the spot, and patiently explained the correct use of helmets to the citizens, at the same time, through typical accident cases to explain in detail the importance of wearing safety helmets for the safety protection of drivers and passengers, persuade every driver to lead by example, in the process of travel, we must wear safety helmets, improve traffic safety awareness, abide by traffic laws, abandon all kinds of traffic bad habits, and let safety accompany everyone. In the one-hour distribution activity, more than 1,000 love helmets were distributed to the public free of charge.
Zhang Yu, captain of the traffic police brigade of the Laixi City Public Security Bureau, said: The purpose of carrying out this activity is to make the majority of motorcycle and electric vehicle drivers truly realize the importance of wearing helmets, be able to consciously wear safety helmets in accordance with laws and regulations, and advocate the majority of motorcycle and electric vehicle drivers to take the initiative to wear safety helmets to achieve safe travel and civilized travel.
