On May 16, 2023, a tragic accident on the Lianhuo Expressway woke people up again and reminded us to pay attention to safety awareness. At that time, Su was driving a semi-trailer along the road, and he felt a little hungry, so he unbuckled his seat belt and stood up to look for food. This seemingly insignificant act turned into a tragedy. The 10 seconds he left the driver's seat, he didn't notice the road ahead at all. As a result, just a moment after he sat down to enjoy his food, the vehicle rushed off the road and rolled over under the roadbed.
The accident caused the front of the car to be seriously deformed, the windshield was shattered, Su was injured in the impact because he was not wearing a seat belt, and Luo, who was traveling with him, was unfortunately killed because he was also not wearing a seat belt. This bad news is like a thunderbolt from the sky, and people can't help but sigh at the fragility and preciousness of life.
The traffic police analyzed the case and reminded us to learn from it. The immediate cause of the accident was Su's distracted driving, completely taking his eyes off the road to look for food, and he didn't realize how much risk this seemingly mundane act could bring. However, what is even more distressing is that neither of them is wearing seat belts, which undoubtedly aggravates the consequences of the accident, resulting in one death and one injury.
Seat belts are one of the most common and important safety features when we travel. It's not just a device, it's a guardian of life. Whenever we get into a car, whether as a driver or a passenger, the first thing we should do is to fasten our seatbelts and keep them fastened throughout the trip. It effectively restricts the range of movement of the body, reduces the damage to the body in the event of a collision, and also stabilizes our position to ensure that we are not thrown out of the car due to inertia and suffer more serious injuries.
However, despite the fact that the words "seat belt, life belt" have been emphasized countless times, there are still people who take chances and ignore the importance of seat belts. They either feel that they don't need to wear a seatbelt for a short trip, or they unbuckle it for convenience. However, this kind of luck psychology is the biggest irresponsibility for life.
We must always remember that there is only one life, and if it is lost, it can never be recovered. Whether it is one's own life or that of others, it is vital and irreplaceable. Every negligence, every neglect, can turn into a tragedy, bringing eternal pain to oneself and others.
Therefore, all car drivers and occupants should learn a profound lesson from this tragic accident. As drivers, we need to stay focused and focused, and not be distracted by external distractions, let alone do other things unrelated to driving during driving, such as looking for food. As passengers, we need to fasten our seatbelts as soon as we get into the car, just like the driver, and stick to the principle of not untying it throughout the trip.
Seat belts are not superfluous, they are the last line of defense for us to travel safely. We should think of wearing seat belts as a Xi of self-protection and develop a good Xi of wearing seat belts every time we get in the car. Only if each and every one of us can do this can we make driving on the road safer and our lives protected to the greatest extent.
Seat belts, life belts. Let's work together to protect our own lives and the lives of others, and let's always keep this short but important motto in mind when we travel. Because only life is priceless, and peace is priceless!
