What are the safety precautions for passenger vehicle operation?
1 Answers
Safety precautions for passenger vehicle operation are as follows: 1. Seat belts, life belts: In the event of a collision, emergency braking, or rollover, seat belts can firmly secure the driver and passengers in their seats, preventing injuries caused by the body hitting the windshield or vehicle structure, thereby protecting the driver and passengers. Passenger vehicle drivers should not only use seat belts properly themselves but also remind passengers to fasten their seat belts, making it a common and conscious behavior for all occupants. 2. Nine out of ten accidents are caused by speeding: A driver's field of vision narrows as speed increases: at 40 km/h, the field of vision can reach 90-100 degrees; at 95 km/h, the field of vision narrows to only 40 degrees. When a passenger vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the driver's focus point becomes farther, the field of vision narrows, attention becomes difficult to shift, and judgment of speed and road conditions deteriorates, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to misjudgment or delayed reactions. Additionally, higher speeds result in longer braking distances and greater impact forces, significantly increasing the severity of accidents. 3. The dangers of fatigued driving: Driving for too long or on monotonous roads can easily lead to driver fatigue. Therefore, after 4 hours of continuous driving, ensure a rest period of at least 20 minutes. Midday and midnight are the most prone times for fatigue. If feeling drowsy or mentally unwell, it is crucial to stop and rest, as continuing to drive is extremely dangerous. Installed vehicle data recorders or GPS equipment should be properly maintained and regularly checked to ensure normal operation. 4. Overloading increases operational burden: Overloading a passenger vehicle increases its weight, puts more stress on the tires, lengthens braking distances, and affects steering performance. This can easily lead to tire blowouts, brake failure, or loss of steering control, resulting in accidents. Moreover, overloading exacerbates the consequences of any accident that occurs.
