After work, as the amount of disposable money increases, playing has become a common habit (there is still a sense of guilt in the student age ). It should be said that the traffic conditions in Ningbo are not too bad. At least I have taken so many taxis in the city and haven't encountered a situation where the traffic jam caused me to lie in the same place. Besides, I am patient and patient, in addition, there is no waiting fee for a taxi in Ningbo. (Note: According to colleagues, taxis in Ningbo are still waiting for a fee, but I did not pay attention to it) Even if the bus is stuck in the same area for an hour, I usually choose to take a taxi if there is no crowded bus to reach the destination, however, a "small" problem often occurs during the playing process.

For example, after attending the group wedding yesterday, I summoned a taxi, habitually sitting in the seat of a pair of drivers, and habitually pulling the seat belt after getting on the bus (I don't have a car, it is called "habitual" because when using UK, whether on TV, broadcast, or drivers with you, you will be reminded to fasten your seat belt immediately after you get on the bus, I am very impressed ). After naturally completing this action, I had a conversation with my brother:

Brother: You don't need to fasten your seat belt ...... (It's a nonsense to say "fasten your seat belt for the passengers in the front row", automatically reminded when you leave the lights empty)
Me: It's safer. If I leave, will you lose money?
Brother: We all know that we will step on the brakes for two or three times, but we will not step on it. Only new users will do it. We know that if a passenger needs to fly out (...... It turns out that it is quite possible to fly out as a shell Superman. Even if I don't fly out, my head and the windscreen will be close to me at a speed of at least 40 km/h, besides, it's even more than 20 years late, isn't it ?). You don't need to use the system in the urban area, and the high-speed system is almost ...... (At this time, I saw this brother and he didn't fasten his seat belt)
Me: security first, it is also good to increase the probability of security.
Brother :...... (Silent)
Me :...... (Also speechless for a moment, and then switch the topic)

This was just yesterday's experience. Another time, I got on the bus and was about to fasten my seat belt. The brother immediately stopped me.

Brother: I have never used a seat belt. I don't need to wipe the seat belt because it is gray. I'm afraid to make your white clothes dirty ......
Me: I was the most conscious ......
Brother: @ # $ % ^ & * () _ + |)

Another time, it may have been around for more than a year. I hired the best taxi in Ningbo, Audi A6, for an emergency, two days ago, I saw reports from Metropolis express that many taxi drivers (especially high-end drivers) specifically blocked the airbag pop-up function to avoid economic losses due to false bullet, I paid special attention to the display of the Vehicle Panel and found that the red indicator of airbag was very dazzling. So I had the following conversation with the driver:
Me: Master, have you shut down the airbag?
Brother: (Surprised) How do you know?
Me: (pointing to the Light) Is it on.
Brother: Shut down. The charge is more than 20 thousand yuan. xx I know some time ago. When I was driving a car, I touched the airbag and it popped up. I needed 30 thousand Yuan to send it back to the manufacturer.
Me: Isn't it safer to touch me?
Brother: It doesn't matter. The city speed is low.
Me: But it's better to have a seat belt.
Brother: If you fasten your seat belt and the car goes out of the water, won't you escape?
Me :...... (I thought, although there are a lot of rivers, rivers, and lakes in Ningbo, the probability of driving out of the water is still too small ......)
Then I will popularize the airbag knowledge for this brother, he was surprised to find that he did not know that the child could not sit in the front of the car (although all models with airbags will certainly be in the most eye-catching position on the driver's visor warning that children are prohibited while driving seat in the front row) he patiently explained to him why children cannot sit in the front of a vehicle.

I just gave a few small examples. In fact, there are many similar examples. I think you will certainly encounter similar situations in tx or TZ, you may also feel that it is okay not to fasten your seat belt when driving at a low speed in the city. Many drivers may pretend to put their seat belts on their chests (formalism kills people ), in fact, this is really a bet on your own life. Below I will show you some tips:

Tip 1:
According to the statistical data of traffic accidents, the "three-point seat belt + airbag" has the highest protection effect, which can reach more than 60%. However, when only the seat belt is used, the effective protection rate is 43%-49%; in the case that only airbags are used, the effective protection rate is only about 18%. That is to say, if the car is equipped with airbags and the driver is not wearing a seat belt, the protective effect will be reduced by about 42%.

Tip 2:
Because the airbag will be detonated in an emergency, do not place items in the front, top or near of the airbag to prevent the balloon from being shot out and thus hurting the crew. In addition, when installing accessories such as CD and radio in the room, you must comply with the manufacturer's regulations and do not arbitrarily modify the parts and lines within the scope of the airbag system to avoid affecting the normal operation of the airbag.

Tip 3:
Relying solely on airbags is also very dangerous. Because of the explosive power of the airbag, if you do not have the traction buffer of the seat belt and directly hit the airbag that is being exploded, it will also cause serious damage to the body. Therefore, airbags must be used together with seat belts to play a "safety" role.

Tip 4:
At present, many airbags are designed for adults, including the position and height of airbags in the vehicle. When the airbag is inflated, it may cause injury to the children in the front row. We recommend that you place the children in the middle of the back row and fix them.

(I add: because not many people think that the airbag is as soft as a sponge or balloon when it is popped up (if it is so soft, it cannot absorb the strong kinetic energy from the passengers ), in addition, airbags are basically designed based on the needs of adults. Therefore, they may cause serious damage to children (especially the neck) during detonation, there has been a tragedy in foreign countries that breaks the neck of the children in the front row because of the airbags without reason (because the head suddenly moves backward during the tilting process ), almost all manufacturers now warn against placing children in the front row of a car. Many families abroad are doing well. They will fix a dedicated child safety seat in the back row, greatly improving the survival rate of children (or infants) in accidents. In contrast, in China, I often see parents (usually mothers) sitting in the front row with their children. Although I have no doubt at all that they are trying their best to protect their children's instinct in the accident, I have no doubt that they will not be able to hold their children until they have a strong impact, in this case, their children are actually "airbags. Therefore, for families with children, please prepare a special child seat for their children in the back row .)

Tip 5:
however, due to the lagging concept, many people are lucky to think that driving speed in the city is not too high, so there is no chance to use a seat belt. In fact, when a car is traveling at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the force of the body forward will be equivalent to dropping a bag of 50 kilograms of cement from the 4-storey upstairs, the force is incredible. Therefore, the role of the seat belt is displayed at this time.

(I add: in fact, people who have studied high school physics can easily calculate this equation. Assuming that I weigh 70 kg and the collision speed is 40 km/h, then kinetic energy E = (1/2) * MV ^ 2 = 0.5*70 * (40*1000/3600) ^ 2 = 4321 J. Assume that it is a 50 kg cement bag, then the corresponding speed is: SQRT (4221*2/50) = 13 m/s = 47 km/h (according to V = gt, t = 1.3 s can be calculated, according to S = 0.5 * g * t ^ 2 = 0.5*10*1.3 ^ 2 = 8.45 m, according to the current Layer Height of 2.8 m, it is about 3 floors ). Imagine a bag of 100-pound cement hitting your head at a speed of nearly 50 kilometers per hour (or from the roof on the third floor for free fall, besides, it is common to have over 40 km/h in the urban area. If the speed is 60 km/s, the kinetic energy will increase to 2.25 times)

it is strange that the promotion of safety belts on vehicles in China is very poor. in UK, there are many public welfare advertisements on TV to promote this, there was once an advertisement that used dummy to compare the differences between the system and the safety belt. Another advertisement is to first simulate a drive without seat belt (the advertisement uses real people and does not know whether it is a stunt ), at that time, even if someone else's body is in the car, it will cause fatal damage to other passengers, and then through the back-in-time technique, let the passengers in the car make another choice (that is, fasten the seat belt as soon as they get on the bus ). This advertisement is also very powerful and impressive. In addition, when I took a passenger's car in the UK, even if the road was too close and there were so few cars on the road, drivers would surely remind passengers to fasten their seat belts so that I could develop this good habit. I very much hope that the domestic market can also take such advertisements to better promote the role of safety belts.

Tip 6:
Don't wear a seat belt in the backend?
So let's talk about it with data and facts. In a car manufacturer, a car dummy was used to simulate driving accidents without seat belts in the rear. When the car was driven at 60 km/hour with four people, the front collided with the obstacle, drivers and passengers fasten their seat belts while passengers do not. After the collision, the two passengers in the back row crossed the front seat and hit the front windshield directly. The passengers behind the driver broke the front windshield. According to data obtained from the rear dummy, in this test, the rear passengers will be subject to a fatal external impact, while the front passengers will not be hurt because of the airbag.

Finally, we sincerely hope that drivers and passengers will put your seat belts together for the happiness of you and your family.
