So, how much harm will foreign objects cause on the highway?
We know that the speed of vehicles on the highway is very fast, the speed of cars can reach 120km/h, and even large trucks are not slow. At these speeds, the vehicle will react more than usual to any foreign object. A small rock can cause a flat tire. Screws are not only hard, but also sharp. When it was flat, it was run over by the high-speed front wheels and stood upright. Before it fell, it was run over by a rear wheel, puncturing the rear tire.
Moreover, high-speed tire blowouts can easily cause traffic accidents. One is that a vehicle traveling at high speed will suddenly lose balance because the tires have no support; secondly, the driver cannot react and rushes in the direction. Both situations can lead to serious traffic accidents.
In addition, there are foreign objects on the highway. If the driver discovers them in advance, he will subconsciously avoid them, such as braking and steering, making it impossible for the car behind him to avoid them. At a speed of 120 km/h, the vehicle has to travel more than 30 meters per second, which is a great test for driving skills. ?
As a result, the two perpetrators who left screws on the highway were criminally detained by the police. They are suspected of endangering public safety and damaging traffic facilities. This incident also reminds us. For example, before getting on the highway, you must carefully check the vehicle and cargo to prevent them from being loosely fixed. Even if an accident occurs and the goods fall, don't take it lightly. If you can't handle it yourself, it's best to call the police. At least this way you won't break the law and face criminal liability.
