A Chinese tourist had a car accident in Laos. What precautions should be taken when traveling by bus?

Chinese tourists were involved in a car accident in Laos. The reason was due to improper driving by the driver while taking the bus. In fact, there are many such accidents for tour groups, so for us tourists, taking the bus when traveling is an indispensable behavior, but we must protect our own safety.

When taking tour buses and various bus modes of transportation, it is best to sit in the middle seat. First of all, tourists in the front are most likely to be in danger of a car accident. Generally, such accidents on buses are directly caused by rear-end collisions with others, so the first three rows are very dangerous.

I once worked in a shipyard in Northeast China for three years. Our unit had tens of thousands of employees, so the only means of transportation after work every night was a bus. One day, I worked an extra night shift. In addition, the vehicle was traveling at a relatively high speed and collided with a section of a ship at the venue, resulting in the death of all the first three rows. The news was particularly sensational at the time, and I feel terrified every time I think of that scene.

So when traveling on a bus, you must sit in the middle. The reason why you don’t choose to sit in the back is because if you are rear-ended by others, it is also very dangerous for the passengers sitting in the back, so sit in the middle on the bus. The middle is the safest.

Moreover, sitting in the back is bumpier and less comfortable. Especially those who are prone to motion sickness and have high blood pressure should not sit in the back of the bus. I think it is better to sit in the back of the bus, which is the way everyone usually chooses to travel. High-speed rail is the safest. The death rate due to bus accidents remains high every year, making it the most dangerous way to travel.
