In Songmen Town, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, Lin drove an agricultural vehicle carrying 22 villagers (including 2 people in the passenger seat of the cab and 20 people in the cargo compartment) down the mountain and drove out of the right roadbed when he fell to a slope about 4 meters high and rolled over, resulting in a traffic accident in which 12 people died and 11 people were injured (including the driver of the agricultural vehicle).
After investigation, the agricultural vehicle that caused the accident was a large and medium-sized tractor, and there was an illegal modification, and the driver Lin held a tractor driver's license with the quasi-driving model "G", and illegally carried people on the mountain road built without approval. After trial by the court, Lin was guilty of negligence causing death and was sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison. (Source: Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security)
Why can't agricultural vehicles carry people?
First, the safety performance is low
The safety performance of the vehicle steering, braking and other components of agricultural vehicles is generally low, in the case of illegal carrying or mixed loading of people and goods, due to the increase in weight, once an emergency occurs, the vehicle is difficult to control, and it is likely that there will be a tragic accident of car destruction and death.
2. Disturbing order and causing accidents
Agricultural vehicles are driving, because the speed is faster than bicycles and pedestrians, the probability of overtaking is large, and scratching accidents are very likely to occur. In addition, there are many traffic violations such as driving in the prescribed lanes on the road, parking indiscriminately, changing lanes at will, turning around, running red lights, etc., which are also very easy to cause traffic accidents.
Third, the driver's safety awareness is weak
Some agricultural vehicle drivers have not undergone formal driving skills and traffic safety knowledge training, and their awareness of traffic safety is relatively weak, and they cannot judge the possible dangers on the road surface unclearly, and cannot take effective countermeasures to avoid accidents.
Fourth, it is difficult to bear the responsibility for accident compensation
Many car owners are greedy for convenience, thinking that only driving on the roads around their homes will not be dangerous, so they are unwilling to buy insurance, resulting in a traffic accident, it is difficult to bear the economic compensation responsibility for the accident, and the passenger can not get the due economic compensation.
