Traffic Administration reminds summer long-distance vehicles not to exceed 4 hours

With the increase in summer temperatures, the probability of accidents such as spontaneous combustion and puncture of vehicles increases. At the same time, the changeable weather in the summer and the increase in rainy days have an adverse effect on driving. The Provincial Traffic Management Bureau issued a safety alert today to remind drivers to pay attention to driving safety in summer.

In view of the ease of fatigue in summer driving, the Provincial Traffic Management Bureau reminded drivers to ensure adequate sleep and pay attention to work and rest. For long-distance passenger coaches, the cumulative driving time within 24 hours shall not exceed 8 hours, and the continuous driving during the day shall not exceed 4 hours. The continuous driving at night shall not exceed 2 hours, and the rest time of each stop shall be no less than 20 minutes. During the summer night, more vehicles were driven. The driver of the truck kept the tail of the truck clean, and the lights were intact. The body had a reflective logo. The side rear protective device was complete. Do not occupy the inner lane for a long time while driving on the highway to prevent the vehicle from being rear-ended.

At the same time, driving in summer, do not covet and feel comfortable and cool without wearing safety belts or slippers, driving while driving cold drinks, etc., so as not to affect traffic safety. The long-term use of air conditioning during the journey will cause air in the closed compartment to be turbid, and it is easy to get dizzy and tired. It is advisable to open the windows for ventilation at regular intervals to maintain good ventilation.

Visibility in rain and fog days was reduced, and the Provincial Traffic Management Bureau reminded that it was necessary to promptly turn on the profile lights and fog lights, increase the follow-up distance appropriately, maintain a safe speed, and observe the road conditions. Drive on slippery roads, reduce the speed, and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. In case of circumstances, take braking and deceleration measures in advance and avoid emergency braking and emergency steering. When passing through the stagnant water section, you should follow the route of the previous car. In case of unclear or deeper water, stop by or observe a detour.

Vehicles in the summer are explosive, check tire wear and tire pressure, and tire aging, bulging, cracking, etc. should be promptly replaced. Tyre pressure should not be too high or too low. Once the puncture occurs, keep the vehicle running straight and slowly decelerate to stop. In summer, the temperature is high, and daily inspections and maintenance of vehicles are strengthened to avoid prolonged exposure of vehicles. Do not place flammable materials such as perfumes and lighters in the vehicle, and carry the fire extinguisher on board. Timely detection of the vehicle battery, to avoid oxidation of the battery's electrodes and internal parts at high temperatures, resulting in battery power shortage, damage the engine performance.
