I can t see it! These vehicles should stay away from blind spots

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-19

There is a traffic hazard called "You are in front of me, but I can't see." This is the vehicle blind spot. According to statistics, there are as many as 500,000 traffic accidents caused by blind spots in the world every year, and most of the victims are children.

Hebei News Network reported that December 2 is the "National Traffic Safety Day", and we will come together to "eradicate illiteracy" and stay away from the hidden dangers of "invisible".

What is a vehicle blind spot? It is the part of the area where the driver is in a normal driving position and the view is obstructed and cannot be directly observed. The wider and higher the body, the larger the blind area.

How "blind" is the vehicle's blind spot? The traffic police have done tests that 75 children can be hidden in the blind spot of an SUV model. Due to the small size of children, children are in a wider range of "blind spots" than adults.

Are the blind spots of the vehicles in **? There are three blind spots for children with a high accident rate.

One is directly in front of the front of the car, which is a big blind spot for children under 1 meter tall, and the driver may not notice that a child runs directly in front of him when he sits in the car.

The second is that the front side of the car is close to the headlight position, and the left side has a small blind area formed by the A-pillar blocking, and the right blind area includes the blind area caused by the A-pillar blocking, and the area near the right side of the body and the reversing mirror extending to the front of the car.

The third is the rear of the car, because it is far away from the driver's seat and there are many barriers in the middle, so the blind spot area is the largest, and the accidents caused by the blind spot behind the car are mostly caused by the children who are not found behind the car when reversing.

In addition, you should also be careful of the blind spot of wheel difference in large trucks. Large trucks are large in size and have a long wheel base, and when turning right, the rear wheels will stick inward to the roadside to "flick the tail", so that the driver will unknowingly involve non-motorized vehicles or pedestrians who enter the intersection at the same time under the car.

To avoid blind spot accidents, the "four nos" should be kept in mind: do not run in front of the car, do not stay behind the car, do not stand on the side of the car, and do not play on the road.
