Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 15th (Reporter Ren Qinqin) Since the launch of the Spring Festival travel rush in 2023, the traffic flow of various places, especially the trunk roads, has greatly increased, and the traffic safety risks have also increased. The Ministry of Public Security reminds drivers that safety is the shortest way home. When driving, they must pay attention to traffic safety, concentrate on driving, and rest in time if they are tired.
At present, it is at the peak of returning home before the holiday, and the traffic flow is large. Recently, a road traffic accident occurred in Ningxia, Yunnan, Fujian, Anhui, Chongqing, Shaanxi and other places, which killed more than three people.
The Ministry of Public Security reminds drivers to know the traffic conditions and weather forecast in advance, plan the travel route and travel time reasonably, avoid congested road sections and bad weather periods such as fog and snow as much as possible, and pay attention to reducing the speed and keeping a good distance in case of bad weather.
Drivers should carefully assess their health status, and if they feel unwell, they must suspend driving. When driving, you should concentrate, don’t overspeed, don’t drive distracted, don’t answer your cell phone, and pick up things. In case of congestion, the slow-moving sections should be lined up in turn, and there should be no congestion to avoid increasing congestion due to disorder and increased scraping. When driving a vehicle, all personnel should fasten their seat belts, the continuous driving time should not exceed 4 hours, and the stopping time should not be less than 20 minutes each time. If you feel tired and sleepy during driving, you should stop and rest in time.
During the gathering of relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, always remember "don’t drink when driving, don’t drive when drinking", and don’t drive after drinking. Drivers of buses, trucks and other operating vehicles and transport enterprises should not only pay attention to efficiency, but also ignore safety. They should not drive over speed, overload, overcrowding or fatigue, so as to prevent accidents caused by mass casualties.
