Throws on the highway.
As small as a mineral water bottle.
Large as carrying goods on trucks.
It's all like a piece"Time bomb".
Endangering the safety of the vehicle.
Recently, a driver on the G39 Chengdu-Chongqing Ring Expressway encountered a "flying accident".
Comrade policeman, when I was driving normally on the highway, a piece of cargo suddenly fell from the opposite truck and hit the front of my car, and the hood of my car was damaged. The Tongliang Brigade of the Fifth Detachment of the Highway received a request for help from the masses. The police immediately told the driver to park the vehicle in the emergency lane, do a good job of warning signs in the rear, stand outside the guardrail, and go to dispose of it.
According to the dashcam images provided by the parties, the police immediately locked the suspect truck. After investigation, the truck driver Long said that he had no knowledge of the fall of the vehicle's goods and promised to accept the investigation and processing.
In the end, the police determined that the truck driver Long violated the first paragraph of Article 48 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: "The motor vehicle shall meet the approved load weight, and it is strictly forbidden to overload, and the length, width and height of the load shall not violate the loading requirements, and shall not spill or scatter the load." ”Bear full responsibility for this road traffic accidentand accept the corresponding penalties.
Throwing objects are a huge hazard
Littering on the highway is very dangerous. Throwing a slightly harder object out of the window and colliding with a speeding car will cause a lot of damage to the vehicle.
If it is an item such as a plastic bag, it will block the view of the driver of the vehicle behind it when it floats up, and it is easy to cause a traffic accident.
Tires, iron sheets and other items that appear on the highway are also easy to cause passing vehicles to burst tires, lose control, and roll over.
What should I do if I encounter spills while driving at high speed?
1.Maintain a safe distance between cars
When driving on the highway, pay attention to maintaining a safe distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle in front to ensure that you have a wide field of vision, so that you can easily observe whether there are obstacles on the road, even if the vehicle in front of you has items falling off or the road surface is obstructed, it is also within your control.
2.Don't blindly follow the car and stay away from big trucks
When driving on the highway, do not follow the car when encountering a truck with irregular loading. Some large trucks are driving on the highway, and the loaded goods may be not fixed or covered tightly, which is very easy to cause spilling. At night, when the line of sight is lowered, it is necessary to slow down the speed of the vehicle, not blindly follow the car, especially away from open loading trucks.
3.Pay attention to the road conditions and drive cautiously
In the event of high-speed throwing, the driver can not panic, to keep the steering wheel, slow down and brake in time, and then pull over and call the police, absolutely not to turn in a hurry, otherwise it is easy to hit the guardrail or the vehicle in the side lane.
4.Report any spills in a timely manner
In the process of driving, when the driver finds that there is a foreign object on the highway surface, he should ask the passenger in the same car to call the police** to report the situation.
5.When the car pulls over and people evacuate, the police are called
When the vehicle is hit by a spill on the highway, resulting in the vehicle being unable to drive normally, it is necessary to keep in mind: pull over, evacuate, and call the police.
