Ministry of Public Security issues safety tips for motorcycles returning home

Every year is approaching the Spring Festival. In the Pearl River Delta area, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers friends returned to their hometowns by motorcycles. According to incomplete statistics, in 2014 alone, 600,000 migrant workers in Guangdong Province chose to return to Guangxi and Guizhou by motorcycle.

Due to the poor stability of motorcycles and the lack of necessary protection, coupled with the cold winter weather, prolonged driving tends to cause numbness and stiffness in the limbs, which affects safe driving and has a high risk of traffic accidents. To this end, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued a safety reminder to remind the vast number of migrant workers who drive motorcycles to return to their hometowns to keep in mind "Seven Nos", "Three Essentials" and "Three Attentions".

【Seven no】

Never drive without a license. Drivers of motorcycles should obtain and carry driving licenses that conform to the approved driving models in accordance with the law. They should not drive unlicensed vehicles, abide by road traffic safety laws and regulations, and drive safely and civilizedly in accordance with operating standards.

Second, do not exceed the capacity to carry passengers. Excessive passengers will increase the instability of motorcycles. In addition to the driver, two-wheeled motorcycles can take one more person, but they cannot take children under the age of 12. Mopeds are not allowed to carry people.

3. Do not violate the regulations. Over-loading will bring greater safety risks. The law stipulates that the height of the motorcycle load shall not exceed 1.5 meters from the ground, the length shall not exceed 0.2 meters of the body, the width shall not exceed 0.15 meters of the left and right handlebars of the two-wheeled motorcycle, and no objects shall be hung on the handlebars.

Four driving without fatigue. Driving in a posture for a long time is extremely prone to fatigue. It is recommended not to drive for a long time, stop and rest more halfway, and keep warm.

5. Do not change lanes at will. Do not intersect lane changes in traffic, you should drive in the rightmost lane, and drive on the right on a road with only one lane.

Six do not speed. Driving motorcycles shall not exceed the speed indicated by the speed limit signs and markings. On roads without speed limit signs, markings and road centerlines, urban roads have a speed limit of 30 km / h and highways have a speed limit of 40 km / h.

Seven is not parallel with large vehicles. There are certain visual blind spots around large vehicles. Once a lane is suddenly changed or an emergency brake is suddenly caused, it is easy to cause traffic accidents. Large vehicles should be avoided as much as possible. In addition, when a large vehicle passes quickly, the resulting airflow will have a suction effect on nearby objects. For example, if the motorcycle is too close, it will be easily drawn into the bottom of the vehicle.

【Three Essentials】

First, check the vehicle. Before traveling, carefully check whether the control device, brake device and lighting signal device of the vehicle are effective; whether there is leakage of oil, circuits and interfaces; check whether the front and rear tires are damaged and whether the air pressure is appropriate; check the horn, speedometer and headlights , Turn signals, brake lights can work normally; check whether the vehicle tools and warning signs are complete, and carry spark plugs, cold patch glue, fuses and light bulbs and other vulnerable parts.

Second, we must plan the route. Before traveling, you must know the traffic and weather information of the route in advance, plan the driving route reasonably, and avoid construction roads and traffic congested sections as much as possible.

Third, wear helmets and protective gear. Drivers and occupants should wear helmets and other protective equipment as required. Helmets and gloves can cushion the impact of the driver's head and hands during accidents. In cold weather, they can also protect against wind and wind. In addition, you can choose hand protectors, leg protectors, back protectors and other protective gear. Drivers and occupants are advised to wear brightly colored clothing or reflective clothing. Never wear the outer clothing to prevent wind and cold, so as not to affect normal operation and accidents.

【Three Attention】

One must pay attention to special road sections. When crossing bridges, attention should be paid to the influence of cross winds, the speed of the vehicle should be controlled, the handlebars should be tightly held, and a large lateral distance should be maintained with the surrounding vehicles. When passing through the tunnel, the headlights should be turned on in advance and the vehicle should be decelerated. When passing through the urban-rural junction, pay attention to the pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, agricultural vehicles, large trucks and roadside stalls on the roadside, less honking, and control the speed of the vehicle; when pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles suddenly cross the road, Slow down or stop to avoid in time. When crossing an intersection, do not grab a yellow light or run a red light. At intersections without traffic lights, drive with caution, let straight vehicles and pedestrians go first; when turning right at intersections, let left-turn vehicles traveling in opposite directions go first. When passing through mountainous roads with many bends and sharp bends, reduce the vehicle speed, turn slowly, avoid occupying the opposite lane, and honk in advance. When downhill, you should use low gear auxiliary brake, the main brake is the front brake, supplemented by the front brake, control the speed of the vehicle at any time, and do not slide in neutral.

Second, pay attention to bad weather. In case of rain, snow, fog, wind, or icy roads, reduce the vehicle speed, maintain a safe driving distance, drive with caution, and turn on the headlights and rear position lights in rainy, snowy, and dusty weather.

Third, we must pay attention to properly handle traffic accidents. If there is a traffic accident with no casualties and only minor property loss, the scene should be photographed and the vehicle should be moved to a safe place that does not hinder the traffic as soon as possible. If there is a traffic accident with casualties or large property losses, it should be Protect the scene, set a warning sign at a distance of 50 to 100 meters from the parking place, and dial the alarm and rescue phone as soon as possible, waiting for rescue in a safe area.
