Zero traffic accident death has been achieved nationwide for the first time in 53 years since the statistics began. Is it related to technological progress?

It has been 53 years since the police department began to count traffic accidents in 1968. The death toll from traffic accidents in China was zero for the first time on April 8, 2021. So far, there has been a traffic accident every day somewhere in Japan for about half a century. The peak of traffic accident deaths in the year was 16765 in 1970, when the death toll from accidents was mentioned in the news for days, even known as traffic war. There has been a downward trend in recent years, reaching 2839 in 2020, the lowest for four consecutive years after the war.

Why is there a sharp decrease in traffic fatalities? Explain the reasons that can be considered and the countermeasures to prevent traffic accidents.

After about half a century, there was no death at last! The number of deaths in traffic accidents also decreased on the day when the target was zero.

According to a press release issued by the Police Department on 12 April, the number of traffic fatalities on 8 April during the Spring National Road Safety campaign was 0, while in the "Day with the goal of Zero Traffic accident deaths" (10 April) two days later, there was one person. In the spring of last year (2020), the number of days with the goal of zero traffic accident deaths was six, compared with a decrease of five.

The passage of traffic accidents summed up the "road traffic statistics on the occurrence of traffic fatalities and the crackdown on violations of road traffic laws." the maximum number of deaths recorded was 10, 6765 in 1970. Although there has been a slight decline since then, it has increased again to about 10,000 from 1988 to 1995 and has been declining slowly from the late 1990s to the present.

Affect the progress of automobile and medical technology?

Some netizens analyzed that the introduction of legal changes such as the introduction of automobile technology, medical technology progress, and severe punishment for drunk driving are considered to be the reasons for the sharp reduction in traffic fatalities. In addition, for this eye-catching news, there has also been a great response on the Internet.

For example, Yahoo! In the comment column of "National Traffic fatality Zero Day" reached statistics for 53 years for the first time on April 8 (Daily News), people who have improved the performance of cars such as automatic brakes and rear monitors stand out. "thanks to the efforts of the automakers, this day has come." recently, the performance of the car has also improved, and the car I bought last year also has automatic brakes. If only it could be more popular. "

Don't forget that although you have saved your life because of the development of medical technology, there are not a few cases of heavy sequelae and obstacles. The goal is to eliminate traffic accidents themselves, not traffic fatalities. In addition, it has also been mentioned that the number of cars is declining due to the aging of Japan's young children and the deteriorating economic situation. "in recent years, there has been a decrease in the number of poor cars, and because they cannot have voluntary insurance, isn't there a reduction in the number of major accidents in safe driving?"

In addition, some people are pleased with the incredible coincidence that "it is wonderful to achieve zero death in a traffic accident on Sakyamuni's birthday." on the other hand, "my brother's death in a traffic accident was the biggest shock in his life. Not to mention the first time, if only it could continue, "there are not a few people who really pray based on actual experience."

In addition, there are also a certain number of people who restrict themselves to go out. According to different regions, even if an accident occurs, the number of hospital beds is very tight and the beds are not available. This fear is considered to be the cautious side of driving. When the situation improves, the reaction leads to a sharp increase in traffic flow, and the possibility of a rebound in the number of traffic fatalities due to laxity cannot be denied.

Can not help but "no big deal" must go to the hospital! The important thing is to avoid the trouble of traffic accidents

Point 1: drive safely with a car equipped with the latest safety devices

Try to ride a car with high safety, such as automatic braking function, rear monitor, driving recorder and so on. In particular, the driving recorder, in the event of a traffic accident, may become strong evidence of the proportion of one's fault.

Point 2: be sure to call the police 110

No traffic accident can be accomplished through reconciliation between the parties. Be sure to call the police and an ambulance immediately. Article 72 of the Road Traffic Law clearly defines the obligation to rescue the injured and to report to the police. In the case of a traffic accident, at first glance, there are many differences in minor injuries. If the parties leave the scene of the accident without the need for rescue, they may violate the rescue obligation of this article, that is, the so-called "collision and escape" and be criminally punished. In addition, it should also be noted that if you do not call the police, you will not issue a traffic accident certificate for insurance money.

Point 3: contact the insurance company

Next, be sure to contact the insurance company. Contact with the insurance company should be made by both the offender and the victim. In case the perpetrator is not insured, the insurance company of the injured party shall pay the insurance premium. The name, address, vehicle number and victim status of the offender should also be well recorded.

Point 4: if you don't judge yourself, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor.

After the accident, although there was no problem with minor injuries, in fact, the deep part of the body was hurt, and after a period of time, unexpected sequelae also appeared. Self-judgment is strictly prohibited in traffic accidents. Be sure to go to the hospital immediately and ask the doctor to make a diagnosis. After the number of days to see a doctor, it is difficult to prove the causal relationship between sequelae and traffic accidents, and sometimes can not get damages.

Point 5: consult a lawyer for settlement negotiations

If an accident happens, it can't happen again. The settlement of traffic accident disputes will eventually involve the negotiation of settlement payments. In order to get more alimony and as little pressure as possible, the best way is to hand over the settlement negotiations directly to the lawyer.

Summary (summary)

The background of the first traffic death accident reaching zero is not only the positive factors such as the improvement of automobile technology, medical technology and legal amendment, but also the negative factors such as leaving the car caused by the economic recession and the aging of a few children. And our goal is to reduce the traffic accident itself to zero. In order to do this, it is very important to understand the right preventive measures and correct initial response knowledge in order to minimize damage.
