Traffic safety tips
1. When traveling in bad weather, please reduce your speed, keep a safe distance from the car in front, especially when driving at night, drive cautiously, and take braking and deceleration measures in advance in case of conditions.
2. Strictly prevent "spring sleepiness" and strictly prohibit fatigue driving. Fatigue driving can lead to poor judgment, sluggish reactions, and an increased likelihood of operator errors. During the trip, drivers should ensure sufficient rest and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
3. When friends get together, it is inevitable to drink, for the safety of themselves and others, we must remind each other: don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving!
4. When there are many cars on the road or passing through curves, please do not overtake or compete for the road at will, and do not intersperse at will, so as to avoid accidents and aggravate congestion, and do not stop at will on the side of the road to take pictures, safety is more important than scenery.
5. During the Qingming Festival, the number of sacrificial tomb sweeping activities in rural areas increased. Please do not take trucks, tractors, overcrowded vehicles to travel, and do not mix people and goods.
6. Seat belt = life belt! The use of seat belt can reduce the risk of traffic accident casualties by more than 40%. When driving a car, please wear seat belts at all times.
7. When riding electric bicycles and motorcycles, please wear safety helmets.
