1. In summer, the number of troubles increases rapidly! Check your vehicle before you leave.
Every summer, there are many troubles due to car breakdown. The main cause of failure "Tire damage" And "Out of fuel" And so on. Most failures can be prevented by basic inspection.
Expressway due to a breakdown, you will be more likely to encounter a traffic accident and it is very dangerous, so be sure to check the fuel, tires, oil, and cooling water before departure.
If you have trouble with your car while driving on the Expressway, please move to a safe place such as SA / PA as much as possible when the car moves.
Expressway you have to stop on the highway, first turn on the hazard lamp and use the flare and stop indicator (triangular display board) to signal the following vehicle. Then evacuated to the outside, such as a safe place of the guardrail, Dial 110 or emergency telephone, road emergency dial # 9910, please report in.
2. Sideways driving is dangerous. Let's concentrate on driving!
Are you driving sideways because you are distracted by the surrounding scenery, car navigation system and mobile phone?
At a speed of 100 km / h, the car travels about 28 m per second, so a momentary "aside" can lead to a serious accident.
The Road Traffic Law prohibits the use of mobile phones while driving. It is also strictly prohibited to stop the vehicle at a roadside or where there is a flow direction display (zebra zone). When using a mobile phone, please stop the car with SA / PA before operating.
Aside driving may cause a rear-end collision or billiard accident, so please look ahead and concentrate on driving.
3. If you feel drowsy or tired, take a break early!
Among the accidents on the Expressway there are still many accidents caused by dozing driving and aimless driving. In some cases, a fatal accident may occur.
Expressway, do not overdo it and take a break at the nearest rest facility. If you feel tired, take a break early!
4. In case of emergency on the Expressway, be sure to give a "signal to the following vehicle", "evacuate to a safe place", and "report"!
A collision with a stopped vehicle has occurred on an Expressway. Expressway is a very dangerous space where cars come and go at 100 km / h. If you are forced to go out on the main line or on the shoulder due to an accident or breakdown, you may be involved in an unexpected accident if you act in the same way as on a general road.
If you have to get out of the car due to an accident or breakdown on the Expressway, first turn on the hazard lights and give a signal to the following car. After stopping, let's give further signals with flares and stop display equipment (triangular display board). Stop display equipment (triangular display board) has a "display obligation" when stopping on Expressway Be sure to carry it with you just in case.
And all drivers and passengers should pay attention to the passing vehicles, Make sure that you can evacuate, such as outside the guardrail, and evacuate quickly to a safe place. please. The inside of the car is not a safe area. There was an accident in which the car was hit by a following car and lost its life.
If you evacuate to a safe place, 110th, emergency telephone, road emergency dial #9910 Please report by either.
5. A serious accident involving a motorcycle has occurred. Let's drive safely!
There are many serious motorcycle accidents on Expressway. Last year, there were 10 deaths related to motorcycles (according to our research), and the number has been increasing since 2015.
Unlike a car, a motorcycle is easily affected by the weather such as rain and wind, and there is nothing to protect the body in the event of an accident, so even a small accident can lead to a serious accident.
When riding a motorcycle on the Expressway, be conservative in speed and keep a sufficient distance between vehicles.
Please do not over-exert yourself by passing through shoulders or between cars as it is extremely dangerous.
In addition, motorcycles easily enter the blind spots of cars, so drivers should be careful when changing lanes.
