Analysis of road traffic accidents in my country in 2009 has the following characteristics: First, the number of deaths caused by serious traffic violations such as speeding, drunk driving, and fatigue driving dropped significantly, by 10.1%, 13%, and 15.2% respectively. Since the launch of a special campaign to severely investigate and deal with drunk driving violations on August 15, the number of drunk driving accidents in my country has dropped by 39.6% year-on-year. Second, the number of fatalities in provincial road accidents dropped by 9.8% year-on-year, and the number of fatalities in accidents per 100 kilometers of highways dropped by 10%. Third, the number of deaths from accidents caused by bad weather increased year-on-year. Especially in the second half of the year, the number of deaths from road traffic accidents caused by rain, snow, fog and other bad weather increased by 13.3% year-on-year. Judging from the situation in various regions across the country, the northwest region has the largest year-on-year increase in deaths from severe weather accidents, an increase of 22.9%. The Northeast, East China, and North China regions have increased by 8.9%, 8.2%, and 3.1% respectively. Fourth, the number of deaths caused by motorcycle accidents has fluctuated and increased. Since March, the number of deaths in motorcycle accidents has shown a fluctuating trend, rising month by month. Driving without a license, failing to give way as required, and speeding are the main causes of motorcycle accidents, accounting for 25.1%, 11.7%, and 8.1% of deaths in motorcycle accidents respectively. 5. The proportion of road traffic accidents in which more than 10 people were killed at one time caused by accidents caused by operating vehicles has increased. ***19 accidents occurred, accounting for 79.2% of the total number of similar accidents, a year-on-year increase of 3.3 percentage points. Among the road traffic accidents that resulted in the death of more than 10 people at one operation due to vehicle accidents, 8 were caused by speeding drivers, accounting for 42.1%; 14 were national and provincial highways, accounting for 73.7%, a year-on-year increase of 7.7 percentage points; 8 Among the accidents, the operating distance of passenger vehicles involved in the accident was less than 400 kilometers, accounting for 42.1%, a year-on-year increase of 3.2 percentage points. The high proportion of vehicle accidents is mainly due to the fact that individual transportation companies do not strictly control the hiring of professional drivers; a few transportation companies operate in violation of regulations and issue secondary maintenance certificates to operating vehicles that clearly do not meet relevant national standards; some transportation companies do not perform safety education for drivers and management responsibilities; some local transportation management agencies fail to hold companies accountable for their failure to rectify hidden dangers.

2010 is the last year for the implementation of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". The driving effect of relevant national industrial policies is obvious. Motor vehicles, drivers, and highway mileage will continue to maintain rapid growth. The country will also welcome the Shanghai World Expo and the Guangzhou Asian Games. The passenger and freight volume and turnover volume of national and provincial trunk roads and expressways will continue to increase, making the task of preventing road traffic accidents arduous and arduous. Public security and traffic management departments at all levels will continue to focus on the prevention of road traffic accidents, promote and improve the road traffic safety work pattern in which the government has unified leadership, relevant departments perform their duties, and jointly focus on comprehensive management, comprehensive management, and treatment of both symptoms and root causes, and give full play to the work of all levels. The functional role of the member units of the Joint Conference on Road Traffic Safety is to strengthen the source management of operating vehicles, urge transportation companies to implement the main responsibilities for traffic safety, deepen the creation of safe and smooth counties, further increase the special rectification of traffic violations such as speeding and drunk driving, and make every effort to ensure road traffic.

According to the forecast of the China Meteorological Administration, the cold air that has affected our country has been frequent and strong recently. Rain and snow will occur in most areas, accompanied by a strong cooling process. Roads are prone to freeze quickly after rain and snow. , the friction coefficient is reduced, and the running vehicle is easily prone to sideslip, rollover, rotation, etc. If the vehicle also commits traffic violations such as overloading and speeding, its safety performance will be extremely reduced. In special circumstances, it is often difficult to turn and brake. Longer distances can easily lead to serious road traffic accidents. Some diesel trucks may also be unable to drive normally due to the freezing of their oil lines due to low temperatures. We would like to remind everyone to avoid driving in rainy and snowy weather. If you really need to drive, please pay attention to driving safety: first, reduce the driving speed and keep the driving speed steady. Second, when driving, you should generally keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, do not coast in neutral, and avoid slamming on the brakes. Third, try not to overtake or merge on icy and snowy roads. Fourth, you must slow down in advance when driving around corners, and be careful to avoid snow and ice in the curves.
