Tips on avoiding the emergency lane occupied, I do not remember how many times a nagging, still see many vehicles a day free to take up immediate fast emergency lane, which led to the accident are not uncommon. Today I saw an old video, tragic accident severity even think I look too shocking, really sad.
1, Accident Analysis
Accident itself is not complicated, the main reason is that the illegal occupation of the emergency lane. A video in the car ready to go the emergency lane when caught in a big truck brakes less and B car in front of large trucks, eventually leading to vehicle squeezed into iron.
In this accident, it appears to be due to the large truck when the brakes less lead to such serious consequences. However, we subsequently find information about the accident and did not find the announcement processed and therefore can not rule out a large truck itself because its brakes before driving in the emergency lane possible. In any case, if two cars in the video is not illegal to go the emergency lane, then there would be behind the tragedy.
2, what circumstances can use the emergency lane?
This problem can be said to be commonplace, according to the Traffic Safety Act, highway emergency access only for police cars, fire engines, ambulances and engineering rescue vehicles traveling in the course of urgent tasks.
Only in the social wheel vehicle tire, vehicle brake failure or steering out of control, driving an accident or a fire, explosion and other unforeseen circumstances, to emergency stop in the emergency lane, in addition to other cases it is not allowed in emergency highway driveway parking.
Those are some drivers think an emergency such as a "temporary rest in the emergency lane," "change drivers", "check the map based navigation", "Call", "changing diapers for the children," and even "convenience" and so are not emergency, temporary stop in the emergency lane at this time is illegal.
3, how to do a temporary stop in the emergency lane?
If an emergency requires temporary stop in the emergency lane on the high-speed, we must ensure that the vehicle must be parked in the emergency lane white line, and the vehicle is close to the best possible high-speed fence, away from the roadway. Double flash turned on simultaneously, and the warning triangle is placed 150 meters behind the vehicle, low visibility at night or the need to place the warning triangle proper distance raised to above 200 meters.
After parking the car passengers prohibit continue to stay in the car, get off should be transferred to a safe area outside the fence. Also note that the choice of the emergency lane stops, should be avoided as much as possible in the corner sections.
to sum up
Behind every tragedy from the traffic, there is always worth considering. In this accident, even if a large truck is the root cause of the accident, two cars but also paid a heavy price for their violations. I hope that we can learn a lesson, not just for the sake vivre, the consequences can not afford!
