The van is a common type of vehicle, which is popular because of its reasonable price and more passengers, but in rural areas, due to the weak traffic safety awareness of van drivers, driving scrapped vehicles on the road in violation of regulations, overdue inspection, overcrowding and speeding, unlicensed and unlicensed driving on the road and other phenomena are prominent, which is very easy to induce traffic accidents and bring great harm to the safety of people's lives and property.
Let's take a look today
It may exist when driving in a van
Some safety hazards and problems
Driving a scrapped car on the road illegally
Rural vans are mostly driven on roads and areas with poor road conditions, if they have reached the end of life, they will lead to poor technical performance, greatly reduced operational flexibility, stability, braking performance, etc., and potential safety hazards exist at any time, which is very easy to cause road traffic accidents and seriously threaten the safety of passing vehicles and pedestrians.
Overdue annual inspection
If the vehicle is not inspected within the time limit, it is impossible to find the problems of the safety system such as motor vehicle braking, steering, and lighting in time, and it cannot be maintained and repaired in time, and there are major safety hazards on the road. Vehicles that are not inspected on time will not be guaranteed in condition, which will bring hidden dangers to driving safety.
Illegal loading
The van is illegally loaded, blocking the rearview mirror in the car, affecting driving safety, and easily leading to rear-end accidents, and some van drivers use the van to load goods, resulting in an unstable center of gravity of the vehicle, which is easy to cause rollover accidents.
When people and goods are mixed, the traffic safety of passengers cannot be guaranteed, and once a traffic accident occurs, it is more difficult to escape.
Overcrowding
When the vehicle is overcrowded, the load weight increases, the vehicle inertia increases, the braking distance is lengthened, and the hazard also increases accordingly. If it is seriously overcrowded, it is very easy to cause tire bursts, sudden deviations, and loss of steering control due to excessive tire load and deformation, resulting in traffic accidents and an increase in the number of casualties. The van itself has poor stability, and once it is overcrowded, it is more likely to cause traffic accidents.
Self-refurbished
Modify the van without permission, leave the driving position, and remove the second to third rows of seats behind it to carry goods, and change the nature of the vehicle without authorization. There is a great safety hazard for vans on the road like this.
Unauthorized removal of the seat in the car, the van as a small truck use, the load of goods often exceed the original load-bearing design, in the turn or in the event of an emergency, easy to overturn, there is a great safety hazard, once a traffic accident occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.
Driving without a license
Drivers driving without a license will cause great harm and disrupt road traffic order. Because unlicensed drivers have not undergone professional learning and training, lack of knowledge of traffic safety laws and regulations, and often have the psychology of evading law enforcement inspections in daily driving, it is easy to cause illegal behaviors such as speeding, overcrowding, running red lights and not driving in accordance with the prescribed lanes. This not only affects the normal passage of other traffic participants, but also easily affects the normal development of road traffic order management, and driving without a license seriously threatens the safety of life and property of oneself and others.
In order to further standardize the traffic order of vans, effectively prevent and reduce traffic accidents caused by van traffic violations, and maintain the stability of the road traffic safety situation, the Linxia City Public Security Traffic Police issued safety tips to the majority of van drivers:
01
Consciously abide by road traffic safety laws and regulations, and drive safely and civilly.
02
Ensure that the vehicle is in good technical condition and do not drive a "sick" car on the road.
03
Resolutely put an end to driving without a license, fatigue driving, and drunk driving.
04
No overcrowding, no speeding, no red lights, no random parking, no scrapped cars.
05
Do not engage in illegal operation, do not illegally modify vehicles, do not post reflective sunshade film and opaque colored paper, heat insulation paper, reduce potential safety hazards.
06
Participate in annual inspections on time and deal with traffic violations in a timely manner.
