Background: On April 17, a serious traffic accident occurred in Guilin, Guangxi. The cause of the accident was that a tourist bus hit the height limit guardrail, and the entire top of the bus was directly swept by the height limit guardrail. The whole scene looks very worrying. From the video sent out, we can see that the top of the bus is directly penetrated by the height limit pole, and we can clearly see that the height limit pole is directly above the passengers' heads, which looks very worrying. The car body was badly damaged, and all the glass on all sides was broken and scattered on the ground, and a lot of broken glass slag fell on the passengers in the car. The whole scene looks very sad and worrying. This bus * * * carries 53 passengers, plus the driver 1 person and the tour guide * * * 55 people. According to the statistics of relevant departments, this traffic accident caused 1 person to die and 6 people were injured. May the deceased rest in peace and the injured recover soon.
One: the tourist bus is limited to two-thirds of the height pole.
According to the site situation, we can see that the height limit pole spanned 2/3 of the car body in the accident. It is precisely because the bus moved forward about 6 meters, which is 2/3 of the car, so the casualties were so heavy. Let's assume that if the driver starts to drive slowly at the moment he sees the railing and basically passes the railing at a speed of 0, then the front of the car can stop immediately when it hits the upper limit guardrail, and this incident can be completely avoided. However, due to the driver's misjudgment, he thought that the height limit hurdle was higher than the car, so the car could not stop immediately because of inertia. Finally, the height-limiting hurdle man directly crossed 2/3 of the car body and passed 2/3 of the passenger's head. It can also be judged that the injured passengers in this incident are the first 2/3, and then13 passengers should be basically safe. If the passenger behind13 is injured, it should be caused by inertia crawling forward. According to relevant reports, the bus driver has been taken away on the spot and the cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Two: Is the height of the height limiting pole reasonable?
After the accident, the height of the height limit pole has also attracted much attention. According to the scene of the accident, it can be found that the height limit pole is very close to the passenger's head, about 30-40cm below the bus height. Because it was dark when the bus approached the height limit pole, the bus driver failed to see its height limit clearly, which led to the accident. Judging from this incident, the bus driver may be careless in driving and unfamiliar with the road conditions, and the design of the height limit pole seems to be not so reasonable. These two situations together led to this serious traffic accident. According to relevant records, it is not the first time that a vehicle has hit the upper limit pole, and similar traffic accidents have occurred in many places. Therefore, after the accident, the design of the height limiting pole has aroused the discussion of netizens. The height limiting pole should be a kind of driving limiting equipment, but it frequently causes traffic accidents, which can be called a new "night traffic killer", especially for heavy vehicles such as buses and trolleys, which should attract the attention of relevant departments. The author also hopes that after this accident, the height limit pole can be improved to avoid similar traffic accidents. We can't afford such a high price for several times.
Three: drivers should drive wholeheartedly. If they are unfamiliar with the road conditions, they should know the road conditions before driving.
According to relevant reports, the driver may be unfamiliar with the road conditions and drive carelessly. If the driver is really unfamiliar with the road conditions and does not drive seriously, there is no doubt that this incident has something to do with the driver. Because one person was distracted, 1 person died and six people were injured. This price is really too high. The driver should be severely punished and justice should be given to the dead and the injured. Secondly, we should learn something from this incident. Next time you encounter a height limit pole, if it is a bus or a big car, you should pay attention to slowing down as much as possible. If you can't pass, don't force your way through to avoid unnecessary traffic accidents.
? This traffic accident taught us a profound lesson. I hope everyone can concentrate on driving, check the route and get familiar with it, and try to go home safely. I also hope that the problem of height limit pole can be taken seriously and rectified to avoid similar traffic accidents. Who do you think is responsible for this traffic accident?
