During the National Day holiday, a major car accident occurred in Fuyu, Jilin, killing 18 people. Although the truck was illegally carrying people, netizens expressed their distress and understanding. The National Day coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival. For most people, the family either reunites at home to enjoy family happiness, or goes out with relatives and friends. But the people who were unfortunately killed in this car accident may have known that it was illegal, but they had to squeeze into a crowded minivan in order to save a few dollars and some time because they had A farmer with the same identity? This is why netizens express their distress and understanding.

For farmers, the farming season waits for no one. In the eyes of farmers, crops are the sky and the food they depend on for survival. , or is it the source of income to support the family? In order to grab the harvest, it is better to put it in the bag, so every year when the grain is harvested, either relatives and neighbors help each other, or they hire outsiders who specialize in helping with the harvest, and when they go to work in the fields, Often because there are not many means of transportation or other reasons, when farming is busy in rural areas, we often see vehicles full or even overloaded of people rushing to the fields. Even in areas with more convenient transportation, in order to save a few dollars in tolls, they would rather take a ride-hailing vehicle or carpool with multiple people. For people in the city, a few dollars may not matter. In their eyes, it may be just a day's living expenses?

Although we express our heartache and understanding, the pain caused by the loss of family members in traffic accidents cannot be comforted by our heartache and understanding. I think more lessons should be learned from such incidents. to avoid similar painful incidents from happening again. In fact, there are great hidden dangers in rural traffic safety. Due to the weak awareness of traffic safety regulations, driving without helmets and licenses, motor vehicles entering the village without slowing down and killing chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, and illegal overcrowding of vehicles during busy farming periods are extremely serious in rural areas. Commonplace things.

To reduce the occurrence of accidents, in addition to improving rural road conditions, increasing traffic supervision, and opening agricultural passages during busy farming periods, I think the more important thing is to change the farmers' concept and awareness of traffic safety. In fact, more tragedies are caused not by other reasons, but by the weak concept and awareness. Only when the ideology is changed can it be implemented into action. This requires our management department to increase efforts to popularize traffic safety knowledge.

For those who have motor vehicles, whether they are trucks, minivans, tricycles or motorcycles, real-name registration is required, and they must pass training and complete an exam before they can drive with a license, so as to prevent tragedies from happening at the driver level. For farmers, village-level cadres can be fully utilized. On a village-by-village basis, especially before the busy farming season in different regions, efforts can be made to publicize traffic safety knowledge and use past cases as negative teaching materials to improve safety awareness. Moreover, such activities should not be carried out once or twice, but should be carried out frequently and unremittingly, so that the safety awareness can be subtly left in the mind.

Behind every car, every trip, and every person, there is a living family. Keeping traffic safety in mind and preventing the recurrence of accidents in rural areas that involve mass deaths and injuries are a real test of our wisdom.
