In St. Petersburg, a taxi driver beat to death a girl lying in an inadequate condition on a pedestrian crossing. What drivers need to know in order not
Why does even a regulated pedestrian crossing remain a risk area for both pedestrians and motorized Russians? Yes, also because neither the first nor the second know the simple rules that significantly reduce the risks of such fatal accidents.
An inadequate young woman (and there are plenty of them on our roads), ignoring the red traffic light, not only went to the crossing, but lay down on the zebra and made strange movements. In addition, she drove on the extreme right track. A passenger car and a taxi drove one after the other on the left. The first warrior, having found a man at the intersection, slowed down, and the “taxi driver” at that moment decided to change lanes to the right lane, where he caused a fatal accident.
It is curious that we are not talking about high speeds and difficult traffic conditions. Thinking that the car in front of him was just slowing down, the taxi driver, without any disturbing thoughts, looked in the rear view mirror and, not seeing any obstacles, quickly changed lanes directly to the person lying in the road. So why do pedestrian accidents happen again and again at intersections, which are precisely designed for the safe crossing of people on the roadway? Let’s figure it out.
Psychology is a delicate thing. And often, aware of their priority with regard to cars, people can cross the road at a ground crossing, deliberately ignoring the cars driving on it. Apparently thinking that even if they shoot me, I’ll be right.
But in fact, it is at the crosswalk that the amount of information that the driver’s brain has to process is greatest. As a result, the chance of errors also increases. And even if there is a green light for a pedestrian, that does not mean that crossing is safe at all. So the rescue of the drowning man is the work of the drowning man himself.
And how can the “mate” understand that there can be problems at a pedestrian crossing? Everything is simple here. First you need to pay attention to the behavior of other colleagues along the stream. If they start to slow down, brake or actively maneuver, then they are already reacting to the problem and you need to actively slow down. Secondly, if there is a car in front of the crossing blocking the view, then we immediately assume that a person can run away from it and reduce speed. And thirdly, we pay attention to the behavior of people standing on or next to the crossing.
This allows you to predict the occurrence of a problem before it even occurs. And of course we always slow down at the entrance to the intersection. Not only will this give you extra time to assess the situation, but it will also significantly improve braking performance if necessary.
If we see a flashing green at the entrance to the transition, an attempt to accelerate could lead to an encounter with a speedy and hurried “pedestrian”. The same applies to attempts to start earlier on the green light for you. At the same time, in no case do we try to bypass a pedestrian moving along the transition. Because at any moment he can get scared and run in an unexpected direction for you. So here only braking will save the situation.
What is the result? When approaching a crosswalk, no matter what traffic light is on, we always assume the worst. We reduce the speed. Using peripheral vision, we actively analyze the situation around us and are ready to start emergency braking.
