Yesterday was the National Primary and Middle School Students' Safety Education Day when high-tech police cars were driven into school campuses for the first time.
According to reports, yesterday was the National Primary and Middle School Students' Safety Education Day. At 3 PM, a high-tech police car equipped with wireless query and real-time road condition monitoring entered the primary and middle school campus for the first time, allowing students to receive safety education knowledge up close. Statistics show that in 2004, 25,000 primary and middle school students across the country were injured or killed in traffic accidents.
Traffic Police: Explaining Traffic Accident Causes
" Around 5:30 PM on March 22, at the entrance of a roast duck shop in Fadou area of Chaoyang Chemical Road, an old grandmother was riding a small tricycle against the flow and collided with a normally operating bus No. 348. The tricycle overturned, and the 6-year-old girl sitting on it had her head roll right under the wheels of the bus." At 2:40 PM yesterday, traffic police officer Xie Zheng from Jingsong Traffic Team was explaining this incident during the "Traffic Safety Accompanies Me" theme activity class at Jingsong No. 4 Primary School, causing more than 100 listening students to gasp in shock.
Subsequently, Xie Zheng also told the elementary school students about another traffic accident. A few days ago, a boy named Zhu crossed the street while the red light was still on at 7:20 AM and was hit by a bread delivery van traveling between 40 to 50 km/h. Once again, the children gasped in astonishment, and some couldn't help but exclaim, "It's over again." When Xie Zheng mentioned that Zhu had regained consciousness after being in a coma for five days and nights at the hospital and had returned home, the children's tense expressions finally relaxed.
Xie Zheng told the children that these two traffic accidents could have been completely avoided if the grandmother hadn't ridden against the flow and if the elementary school student had waited for the red light to turn green. Looking at the traffic accident diagrams, the children immediately expressed that not only would they follow traffic rules themselves, but they would also strongly advise their parents to do so. Yesterday afternoon, Jingsong No. 4 Primary School also established a traffic management squad and took to the streets to correct pedestrians' bad traffic behaviors.
Students: Check if Parents Violated Rules
At 3:30 PM yesterday, two police cars drove into the campus of Jingsong No. 4 Primary School. One car had flashing words "Stop Right" on its roof, while the other had two small displays inside; one could check vehicle violations on-site, and the other could switch between various road traffic conditions. According to Feng Jingchang, the captain of the Jingsong Team of the Jingsong Traffic Team, the equipment in both vehicles is top-notch nationwide.
The elementary school students showed great interest in the displays inside the car. Upon hearing that they could check car violation situations on-site, several children eagerly wanted to know about their parents' violation statuses. A girl entered her father's license plate number "Beijing HLXXXX," and the small display immediately showed the car's violation situation. Although this car had no violation records, the little girl still said, "If I find out my dad has violated any rules, I will definitely tell him not to violate them anymore."
Police Officers Enter Middle Schools to Teach Self-Defense Techniques
According to reports, yesterday afternoon at the No. 54 Middle School in the city, female middle school students followed the movements of police instructors and collectively practiced self-defense techniques for the first time. The Dongcheng police stated that the purpose of middle school students learning self-defense techniques is not to subdue criminals but to enhance their awareness of prevention and improve their ability to protect themselves, reducing harm to the minimum when encountering danger.
The person in charge of the Dongcheng Branch Internal Security Department introduced that when middle school students are subjected to harm, they often do not know how to protect themselves. In addition to creating a good public security environment for schools, the branch also teaches students how to deal with sudden injury events. The purpose of middle school students learning self-defense techniques is to reduce harm to the minimum when encountering danger. Finally, the police officers also demonstrated some controlled knives to the teachers and students, teaching everyone how to identify controlled knives.
Eighty Percent of Citizens Do Not Know About "Left Turn Second Red Light"
How should cyclists or pedestrians proceed when making a left turn at a crossroads? Wait until the opposite red light turns green and then make a direct left turn. Traffic police told the elementary school students that doing so is a violation and they must not directly turn left. The correct method is to wait for the red light as a pedestrian and go straight to the opposite pedestrian crossing stop line, then wait for the red light on the left side of the road to turn green before proceeding correctly.
According to traffic assistants, this specific term called "Left Turn Second Red Light" in traffic regulations is unknown to eighty percent of citizens. Traffic police informed that walking this way prevents normal straight-moving motor vehicles from having route intersections, thus avoiding traffic accidents.
