The number one rule to improve road safety is to educate drivers about the importance of the actions of each to avoid accidents. That's what advocates Lt. Col. Fabio José Martins, the Police Highway Military Santa Catarina (BPMRv), which gives the necessary warning to drivers in this National Traffic Week, 18-25 of September:
- Usually when an accident occurs, people tend to blame the vehicle, the road, the lack of control, but the main factor is the driver's consciousness. He has to change the attitude, drive at a speed compatible with the road, keep away from the front of the vehicle, do not lose attention. The driver must comply with the traffic rules, circulation, be prudent and cautious - defends Martins.
In Santa Catarina, Joinville leads the ranking of deaths from traffic accidents, according to the latest report from the Epidemiological Monitoring of Mortality Information System of the State Department of Health, 2014. According to the data, the city recorded 162 victims of deaths accidents, followed by Florianópolis, where 106 people died in the same period. Other cities on the list of the ten most are Blumenau (98), Itajaí (72), San Jose (68) Chapecó (56), Lages (51) Cricklewood (50) Jaragua do Sul (50) and Rio South (41).
Among the risk factors associated with disasters, both for the victims and those involved, they were: speeding (44.4%), alcohol (42.6%), infrastructure (37%), weather conditions (16.7 %), illegal drugs (14.8%), fatigue (13%), lack of qualification (9.3%) and recreation (5.6%).
Check out four important care to ensure greater safety when driving:
Respect the speed limits
Several elements are taken into consideration to set up how fast a vehicle can move in a certain way. For this reason, respect the speed limits is a crucial point to prevent or reduce damage in case of accidents.
If you drink do not drive
Although the rule is clear and the fact that drinking and driving setting up a serious traffic offense, many still follow putting lives at risk and driving drunk. There is no safe limit: regardless of the amount ingested, the reflexes are not the same, the reasoning is impaired and the driver loses judgment. If you drink, take a taxi.
Cell away from the wheel
One of the problems reported by Martins is the use of mobile phones in traffic, especially with text message, as when lowering the vision to enter two or three words is lost precious time in traffic. The tip is: as you enter the car, place the phone in a purse or glove compartment.
Always use the safety belt
The seat belt has become a great ally in decreased rates of serious traffic accidents. It never hurts to repeat: use the seat belt always. The Steering Manual Defensive emphasizes that seat belts should be in good condition of conservation and all occupants must use them, including the rear seat passengers, even pregnant women and children.
