[Reporter Zhang Ruizhen/Taichung Report] Statistics from the Traffic Police Brigade of Taichung City Police Bureau show that last year (2021) in Taichung City, couriers were involved in traffic accidents: there were 1,341 traffic accidents involving couriers in Taichung City, and 1,664 people were killed and injured. This year (2022) From 2009 to September 23, there were 807 car accidents involving delivery workers, with more than 900 casualties. The main reasons were that they failed to give up the car in accordance with regulations, did not pay attention to the situation in front of the car, and did not pay attention to the safety of other people’s cars when starting. Zhongshi Police Station Today, the "Safety Riding-Delivery Driver Safety Driving Experience Event" is held to let the courier experience various dangerous situations, such as the poor inner wheel of a large car.

The event was also co-organized by the Labor Bureau of the Zhongshi Municipal Government, attracting nearly 100 people from Uber Eats, Foodpanda, Lalamove and global express deliverymen. , "Large-scale vehicle interior wheel difference demonstration and bus vision blind spot situation explanation", "occupational accident compensation, vehicle right of way and accident case sharing", etc.

The event was staged by the "Motorcycle Demonstration Exercise", which was taught by the Taichung Honda Second Wheel Store and the Honda Taiwan Safety Driving Team, including the correct wearing of helmets, safe riding posture of the motorcycle, and demonstration of the braking distance of the motorcycle. The faster the speed, the better. The longer the emergency braking distance is, the locomotive equipped with the ABS system can effectively prevent the tire from locking up and reduce the risk when braking.

The second is "Large Vehicle Inner Wheel Difference Demonstration and Bus Vision Blind Situation", taught by Taichung District Supervision Office. The Traffic Police Brigade supports large police vehicles to conduct simulated reality demonstrations. Large vehicles will have "inner wheel differences" when turning. Refers to the gap caused by the travel trajectories of the front and rear wheels when the vehicle is turning. The inner rear wheel will shift inward when a large vehicle is turning.

Next, let the couriers take turns to sit in the driver's seat of the 12-meter-long bus, and the other couriers are located in the "shadow area of ​​death" outside the car, so they can experience the experience directly and understand the blind spots that the driver can't see. , the delivery man surnamed Chen said, "I have never driven a large vehicle before, and today I learned that the blind spot of vision is so dangerous and terrible!".

According to the analysis by the Zhongshi Police Bureau, the risk of a car accident for the courier is much higher than that of the average person. The first cause of the accident is "not yielding the car in accordance with the regulations". At times, the feeder lane vehicles should suspend to let the trunk lane vehicles go first, the less-lane lane vehicles should suspend to allow the multi-lane lane vehicles to go first, and the left-hand vehicles that are also going straight or turning vehicles should suspend to let the right-hand vehicles go first. Should establish the concept of defensive driving, reserve a little more time and space for yourself and others.
