A trip-in hint
An analysis by the public security department of guangdong province indicates that this year's spring festival was relatively late and took longer holidays, which led to a high overlap of family visits, tourist flows, student flows and work flows and heavy road traffic security tasks. In response to the characteristics of this spring's road trip, the public security exchange department issued a five-point warning to a wide range of drivers calling for a safe and civilized journey during the spring。
We'll be safe
Most drivers and friends are requested to strictly observe traffic rules, prevent drunk driving, distraction, fatigue, overloading, super-mutilation and random use of emergency lanes, and alert passengers to seat belts throughout their journey。
In a regular car, not an overload. Car
Friends returning home in buses are requested to buy tickets at the regular bus stop, not to use unserviceable “black cars” and overload vehicles outside the station, let alone mixed vehicles. If an overload vehicle is found, please call the public security authorities immediately。
There's no man in the car
During the spring festival, there was a great deal of folklore in rural areas, but it must be borne in mind that agricultural vehicles and van cars cannot be manned, and that driving electric bikes should be kept in mind that “placards, helmets, two-person limit, right-hand side”。
No drinking, no driving
New year's day, it's important to stay on the bottom line and not drive, and not have any luck, touch the high-pressure line, and stop relatives and friends from driving. During the spring festival, the police will increase their efforts to investigate traffic offences, such as drunk driving。
Keep an eye on the weather and be careful to drive
Rainy weather in parts of guangdong province, around the spring festival, poses greater security risks for road travel, particularly in rural areas. In the event of a rain cloud, the driver's friend should be able to turn on the facade and fog lights in a timely manner, pull up the distance from the vehicle, keep the speed of the vehicle safe, observe the road and avoid pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles。
