Because of this traffic accident, I was suddenly interested in checking the accident death report and found that the mortality rate of large trucks was extremely high, which I think was related to the current situation of the trucks themselves.
First of all, this kind of truck has a long body and a high chassis. When the driver sits in the cab, the vision is limited, and there will be more blind spots than cars, so it is impossible to clearly observe the traffic situation behind and on both sides of the car in time.
Many misfortunes are caused by the blind area of the truck's vision, such as people on both sides of the vehicle being pressed under the wheels. When the driver found out, it was too late.
Secondly, because of the special freight function of trucks, they usually carry some extremely heavy goods. We have all learned such a law in physics class that the greater the mass, the greater the inertia.
When the truck driver finds the situation while driving, even if he takes emergency braking and other measures, he will still drive a long distance because of the load of the vehicle. The harm caused by this is far more serious than that caused by small vehicles.
In the case of blind field of vision and large inertia, the mortality rate of large trucks will undoubtedly become extremely high.
In addition, some small cars are not necessarily safe. There are several brands of cars that drivers recognize as the most unsafe, such as Kia K2.
Compared with American cars, Japanese cars pay more attention to functionality and ignore safety. Kia K2 is a representative.
My boyfriend told me that now all knowledgeable drivers will not choose this model or even this brand because the accident mortality rate is too high. Of course, this mortality rate is not the mortality rate of pedestrians, but the mortality rate of drivers.
Our life is undoubtedly the most important. In order to protect our own safety, we should take the initiative to stay away from these cars to avoid accidents.
