--Beware of accidents caused by sideways driving and steering wheel operation! -
From April to June, there are many "accidents due to sideways driving" and "accidents due to improper steering operation" as shown in the figure below. When the snow is gone and the road surface is in good condition, the speed will be increased too much, and a slight carelessness may cause a serious accident. Make a comfortable driving plan.
≪Points to prevent accidents≫
- In early spring, the road surface will be in better condition and the running speed tends to be faster. Higher speeds increase the risk of serious accidents, so keep your speed limits and drive safely.
- Picking up luggage in the car, operating a car navigation system or smartphone, and seeing the scenery can also lead to "side-view driving". Side-by-side driving may cause collisions/collisions with other vehicles, median strips, and shoulder contact accidents, so concentrate on driving while driving.
- Driving long distances and observing monotonous scenery made me feel drowsy and accidentally touching the median strip and the roadside due to an incorrect steering wheel operation. Even if you're not sleepy, take a break once every two hours.
- By wearing seat belts for all seats, you can minimize the damage in the event of an accident. Be sure to wear all seat belts and child seats properly in order to minimize the damage in the event of an accident before the holiday season.
