Multiple vehicle accident on National Highway 26: One second of subjectivity, 12 cars damaged

Lê Thanh Phong |

12 cars damaged after a series of consecutive accidents on National Highway 26 from Dak Lak to Khanh Hoa.

The accident happened on the morning of April 30, fortunately there were no casualties. But on the roads, many drivers are subjective, speeding and overtaking recklessly, disregarding their own lives and the lives of pedestrians.

During holidays, on highways and national highways, chain collisions often occur. The common point is due to the dense traffic density and drivers not being conscious of keeping a distance.

Cars run close together, just a sudden brake, slow reaction, and the accident immediately spreads into a chain reaction.

During the April 30 - May 1 holiday, traffic volume on key routes and expressways increased sharply. Traffic pressure pushed risks up, but many drivers were impatient, hasty, and deliberately violated regulations.

The regulations on keeping distance are clear, but in reality, many drivers still "follow in the footsteps", taking advantage of small gaps to overtake.

More dangerously, the mentality of "going on time" makes many people ignore basic safety principles.

Drivers accelerate in crowded traffic, change lanes suddenly, lack observation. These seemingly small acts, when combined on a busy road, will create a chain accident risk.

During holidays, traffic volume increases sharply, and we cannot completely rely on functional forces.

When an accident occurs, traffic police are present in time, divert traffic, and clear the scene, but post-accident handling is never as good as prevention from the beginning.

Traveling at the correct speed and keeping a distance is not a recommendation, but a mandatory regulation.

Observe carefully, limit sudden lane changes, proactively reduce speed when entering crowded traffic areas, these principles are not new, but many drivers still take them lightly.

Not to mention, cars running at high speed, chain collisions on highways, can completely turn into tragedies.

Holidays are for rest, don't let travel or returning to your hometown become a risky journey just because of a moment of rush.

A moment of subjectivity can lead to a chain of accidents. And the price to pay is sometimes not having the opportunity to correct mistakes.

The holiday is still long, roads, especially in key tourist localities, need to strengthen functional forces to regulate and inspect traffic.

Traffic police resolutely handle violations, check alcohol concentration, minimize accidents, so that people can go on safe holidays.

However, each driver's safety assurance is the most fundamental.
