Recent
Xiamen traffic police for overcrowding, speeding, overloading
and other traffic violations have been specially rectified
Found quite a few drivers
The dangers of these violations are not well understood
Or there is a fluke mentality
Today
We invited 6 senior civilian police officers
Combined with recent accident cases
Make traffic safety reminders for everyone
For the safety of one's own life and the lives of others
Please consciously comply with road traffic laws and regulations
Refusal to drive or ride
Overcrowded, overloaded, speeding vehicles on the road

Overcrowding
Not one more person!
Case
At noon on May 24, a car carrying five people was stopped by traffic police at the intersection of Lianyue Road and Tiyu Road. The car actually carried 10 people, including 4 small children. It is understood that the person and the driver on the car are relatives, the child is held by the adult, the driver feels that he can sit down, and the road is closer, so he is lucky to be on the road.
The police issue a notice of illegal behavior to the driver driving more than 100% of the approved number of motor vehicles in accordance with the law, and the driver will face the penalty of 6 points on the driver's license and a fine.
For convenience, individual drivers or relevant responsible persons feel that it is okay to sit more than a few people, which can reduce the number of transportation times and save the cost of riding, and put safety behind.
The number of people on board the vehicle shall be subject to the number of persons approved on the driving certificate. Whether the vehicle is overcrowded is calculated according to whether the actual number of passengers has exceeded the approved number of passengers, and does not distinguish between adults and children. It is understood that most of the overcrowding occurs in the urban-rural junction, construction sites and scenic spots, mostly short and medium-distance, or private cars in order to save capacity to carry one or two more relatives and friends, or collective workers carry more than a few workers, colleagues, etc., and even some people are mixed with goods, cargo compartments carrying people, etc., there are great safety risks.
In order to eliminate hidden dangers, the Xiamen traffic police have increased traffic safety publicity by entering schools and communities, and set up warning signs and slogans on road sections prone to overcrowding to remind the general public to travel legally and safely. At the same time, we will increase the intensity of rectification, zero tolerance for overcrowding, and order immediate rectification once investigated and punished to ensure the safe travel of citizens.
harm
● Make the vehicle unstable: overcrowding causes the vehicle to exceed its load capacity, so that the vehicle inertia increases, the braking distance is lengthened, and the danger is correspondingly increased, which is easy to slide or overturn.
● Easy to puncture, loss of control: if seriously overcrowded, the vehicle is very easy to cause tire bursts, sudden deflection, brake failure, steering out of control due to excessive tire load, excessive deformation, etc. If the vehicle is in an overcrowded state for a long time, the components such as the drive shaft, axle, wheel spoke plate, and the half shaft that drives the wheel are overloaded for a long time, and sudden fracture and throwing will occur.
● Bring difficulties to the accident rescue: In the car, the "seat belt, seat, body" provide safety protection for passengers in turn, but the overcrowded passengers do not have the protection of seat belts, and the last two levels of protection are basically ineffective. In the event of a traffic accident, spontaneous combustion of vehicles and other unexpected situations, overcrowding brings great difficulties to passengers to escape and rescue the injured.
particularly
remind
Siming Traffic Police Brigade Mobile Squadron Instructor Cai Yidong:
Even if there is one more child, it is overcrowded. Children, regardless of whether they occupy a seat or not, should be counted in the actual number of passengers.
Wei Kun, deputy commander of the Accident Prevention and Handling Squadron of the Huli Brigade:
According to the law, those engaged in school bus business or passenger transportation, who seriously exceed the rated occupants and carry passengers, will be investigated for criminal liability in accordance with law.
overload
Heavier is dangerous!
For trucks with a speed of 30 kilometers per hour and a weight greater than 3 tons, the braking distance is extended by 0.5-1 meter for each additional weight of 1 ton.
On the evening of May 19, a light truck "Turtle Speed" was driving at the intersection of Yunding North Road, Fanghu North 2nd Road, and the rear compartment carried hundreds of logs, just like a walking "Big Mac", and the tires of the vehicle were also deformed. After the police shouted to stop in time, they guided the vehicle to the inspection station and found that the car was loaded with 4270kg, the actual load was 22500kg, and the overload ratio was as high as 427%. Drivers who drive trucks with loads exceeding 100% of the approved load quality will face administrative penalties of 6 points and fines.
Overloading mainly occurs in trucks, and most of them are overloaded by carriers in order to pursue economic benefits one-sidedly. Near some places involving demolition, logistics and construction, during off-peak hours such as afternoon and evening, the phenomenon of overloading of trucks often occurs.
The load capacity of each vehicle has been scientifically designed, beyond this weight, the operation and use of the vehicle will change, there are great safety hazards, and the frequency of accidents will increase accordingly.
Xiamen traffic police on the overload rectification efforts are very strong, in different time periods, road sections, the use of "online + offline" combination of the way, point, line, surface all-round control, has achieved good results. At the same time, the traffic police department has also strengthened joint law enforcement with the transportation department, and controlled from the source of enterprises, depots, and docks. In addition, the Xiamen traffic police studied the operation rules of key illegal vehicles through big data, and accurately cracked down, so that overloaded illegal acts could not be hidden. Since the beginning of this year, the traffic police brigade of the Haicang Sub-bureau alone has seized more than 1,200 cases of overloading.
●Accelerate the aging of parts: Overloading will change the original design data of the car, resulting in the loosening of the fastening screws, loose rivets, deformation of the overall frame, aging of rubber and plastic parts, etc., and ultimately affect the operation of the car body and lead to accidents.
● Aggravate the wear of tires and puncture: If you are overloaded for a long time, the pressure of the car tires becomes larger, which can easily lead to tire deformation or even puncture, followed by traffic accidents.
● Affect the handling performance of the car: overloading will cause the centrifugal force to increase when turning and affect the stability of the car, and the faster vehicle may roll over when turning or turning.
● Reduce braking performance and increase the distance of non-safety zone: Due to the increase in weight and inertia of overloaded cars, the braking distance at this time will be longer than the safe braking distance, and the reaction time for the driver will be shorter. The extension of the non-safe braking distance often causes unexpected psychological pressure to the driver, resulting in car accidents.
Zheng Quanhai, deputy captain of the traffic police brigade of the Haicang sub-bureau:
Safety first, the owner or the relevant person in charge must not disregard the safety of the driver and occupants and others for economic benefits.
Chen Zhangyou, squadron leader of the Xinglin Squadron of the Traffic Police Brigade of the Jimei Sub-bureau:
There is an internal wheel difference in large trucks when turning, whether overloaded or not, the public must stay away from large trucks to ensure safety.
speeding
It is not advisable to be fast at all!
In the early morning of May 10, a traffic accident involving a car colliding with a pedestrian occurred in the Yinxi Shufu section of Xiang'an North Road in Xiang'an District, and the pedestrian died after being sent to the hospital for rescue.
After investigation, one of the main causes of the accident is that the driver of the car is speeding when driving, and does not pay attention to observing the traffic situation on the road in front of him to ensure safe driving.
With the development of urban traffic, the road conditions in Xiamen are getting better and better, and many drivers are speeding unconsciously when driving, especially when there are few cars on the road at night and drivers are easy to sleep. There are also individual drivers who are in a hurry, or out of a mentality such as showing off, speeding with a fluke mentality. Some trucks will also choose "Dora Run" for economic benefits. In addition, in some mountain roads with complex road conditions and low speed limits, motorcycle speeding often occurs.
As the saying goes, "nine times out of ten accidents are fast", speeding is very easy to cause traffic accidents, and the harm is extremely high. But why would anyone still speed? The fundamental reason is that the driver's safety awareness is not high and he has a fluke mentality.
In order to reduce the safety hazards caused by speeding, the traffic police strengthen law enforcement supervision, increase investment in scientific and technological facilities and equipment, combine dynamic and static, real-time capture, and strictly control and severely punish speeding behavior to form a deterrent. At the same time, combined with accident cases, statistical data, etc., the intensity, breadth and depth of publicity are increased, so that the public can deeply understand the harm of speeding and eliminate potential safety hazards from the source.
●Affect the driver's field of vision: when the speed is 40 kilometers per hour, the general driver can see objects within 200 meters in front of him; at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, he can only see objects within 160 meters. Speeding will make the driver's field of vision narrower, the vision is weakened, and it is difficult to deal effectively with the sudden appearance of dangers in front of him.
● Extended braking distance: The braking distance of the vehicle is mainly limited by the speed. Due to inertia, the faster the speed, the greater the braking distance, which increases the likelihood of an accident.
● Affect the operational stability of the vehicle: especially in the corner, due to the action of centrifugal force, it is easy to cause the vehicle to slide or tilt. Under the same conditions, the speed of the vehicle is increased by 1 times, and the centrifugal force will increase by 3 times, and the excessive centrifugal force will easily make the vehicle lose control and roll over.
● Increase traffic conflict points: Speeding causes an increase in the chance of overtaking, and each overtaking will be accompanied by a higher speed rendezvous, thereby increasing the traffic intersection point and conflict point, and increasing the possibility of accidents.
When driving a vehicle, you should always pay attention to the speed limit signs on the road and refuse to speed.

Wang Dongxiang, head of the comprehensive section of the traffic police brigade of the Tong'an sub-bureau:
Before starting at the intersection, observe left and right, and it is not advisable to accelerate sharply. Especially some electric vehicles, the acceleration is very fast, please pay attention to the driver.
Huang Xianhan, instructor of the Xindian Squadron of the Traffic Police Brigade of the Xiang'an Branch:
Life is greater than everything, and the speeding behavior of disregarding life in order to rush time and pursue economic benefits must be abandoned.
