The "encounter" that made people break out in a cold sweat
When encountering a "ghost probe", is there really no way to do it?
Of course not, these details can be taken into account to effectively avoid accidents.
- Tell the story by case
Case: Recently, after getting off the bus, Cao crossed the motorway and collided with a two-wheeled electric vehicle without a license plate driven by Zhang, resulting in a traffic accident in which Zhang was injured and the vehicle was damaged.
It was determined that in the traffic accident, the party Cao X did not observe the traffic situation of the road vehicle and suddenly crossed the motor lane, which was the main cause of the accident and bore the main responsibility for the accident;
- What is a "ghost probe"?
Generally speaking, when there are vehicles or obstacles in front of you to block the line of sight, that is, the blind spot of vision, a non-motor vehicle or pedestrian suddenly jumps out from the side of the road, and the normal vehicle cannot avoid it, resulting in casualties. Because of the suddenness of the incident, there was no time and space for each other to react and hide, which caught people off guard.
- Notice to Motor Vehicle Drivers
- Slow down. Slowing down in accident-prone situations and areas and giving yourself plenty of reaction time and braking space may be the only way to avoid serious traffic accidents and reduce personal and property damage on both sides.
- Whistle warning. In places where honking is not prohibited, honk the horn in advance to alert possible people and vehicles to pay attention, and slow down in advance.
- Be prepared to apply the brakes. When the vehicle passes through the accident-prone road section, the driver should put his foot on the brake pedal and be ready to brake at any time in case of emergency.
- Give way to pedestrians. Drive calmly and don't drive aggressively. Although sometimes non-motorized drivers or pedestrians do not obey the traffic rules, as a motorist does not have the right to punish them, in order to ensure driving safety, it is still necessary to be diligent and polite when driving a motorized vehicle.

- Don't take chances. Don't weave through traffic, and don't jump over road guardrails. It is dangerous to think that "the car will not dare to hit you", but in fact, sometimes accidents occur because of objective reasons such as blind spots in the line of sight or insufficient braking distance.
- Slow down and be observant. The most effective way to protect yourself is to slow down, or even stop to observe the situation around the intersection and make sure it is safe to pass before passing. This will minimize the blind spot of your vision and give yourself more time to react.
- Perform guardianship duties. Take good care of children and the elderly, and don't let them rush into the middle of the road.
