Why are there frequent tourist passenger accidents in expressway?

It is reported that the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security recently announced the accidents of tourist passenger vehicles in Tianjin and Inner Mongolia. Go on road trip involves problems such as out-of-control of tourist vehicles, illegal driving, and difficulty in ensuring safe driving, which deserves vigilance.

According to the statistics of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, since 20 17, 89 road traffic accidents involving casualties have been reported nationwide, resulting in 87 deaths, 377 injuries and direct property losses of 5.78 million yuan. Most road passenger traffic accidents are closely related to the out-of-control management of passenger vehicles.

The traffic police department of public security also found that the safety awareness of tourist bus drivers is weak and the phenomenon of illegal driving is prominent. Some drivers stay at the point of consumption for a long time, and some drivers deliberately turn off the GPS in their cars to avoid supervision. At the same time, in order to make up for the time spent, they often ignore safety, such as speeding, fatigue driving and barbaric driving. In addition, many drivers are not familiar with the driving route, and they are often caught off guard in case of emergency, which sometimes leads to the loss of control of vehicles.

In addition, according to the relevant national requirements, tour guides should cooperate with drivers to urge passengers to fasten their seat belts. However, the survey found that many tour guides did not perform their duties according to the regulations, many tourists were not aware of actively using seat belts when taking buses, lacked supervision over illegal driving behaviors, and rarely complained about parking.

Travel is to enjoy life, I hope you don't forget your own safety when you travel!
