Riding a bicycle and looking at your phone caused an accident
Common
We have been emphasizing that you can't play with your mobile phone while driving or walking, but many drivers don't care, thinking that answering a phone call and replying to a message while riding a bicycle has little impact, but in real life, many people have paid a heavy price or even their lives because they focus on playing with their mobile phones.
According to the provisions of Article 72, Paragraph 5 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the People's Republic of China Road Traffic Safety Law:
When riding a non-motorized vehicle, the vehicle shall not be towed, climbed or pulled by other vehicles, and the hands shall not be taken off the handlebars or objects in the hands.
The dangers of cycling and playing with mobile phones
1. Impeding safe driving
When riding a bicycle and playing with a mobile phone, grasping the direction with one hand has an impact on the speed control, distance grasping, driving direction, braking, etc., which can easily cause traffic accidents.
2. Distraction
When riding a bicycle and playing with a mobile phone, the driver's attention is distracted, and the observation of the road conditions and the surrounding environment is weakened. In the event of an emergency or sudden situation, it is very easy to cause traffic accidents. The data shows that the probability of traffic accidents when using mobile phones during cycling is 4-5 times higher than that of normal driving.
