Education campaign on road etiquette
Print Edition
China will launch a public education campaign on road etiquette after several high-profile cases of road-rage violence and emergency lane blockage this year.
The Ministry of Public Security, along with several other ministries, said yesterday that activities will be held to boost public awareness of safe and polite driving prior to this year鈥檚 鈥渘ational traffic safety day鈥 which will fall on December 2.
Public education will be carried out via mass media and in villages, enterprises and driving schools to advocate against a slew of hazardous behaviors, including street racing, drunk driving, road rage, and blocking emergency lanes, the ministry said.
Police will also strengthen a crackdown on dangerous driving during the period.
Several cases to reckless driving have drawn public attention this year.
In May, a video showing a female driver being savagely beaten by a young man in retaliation for a dangerous lane change went viral.
Tragedies caused by road rage have also been on the rise in recent years. Statistics show that in 2013, a total of 80,200 accidents were fuelled by road rage, up 4.9 percent year on year. The number rose by 2.4 percent in 2014.
In October, a driver stuck in cab after an accident in Zhejiang Province died because rescue efforts were delayed due to the highway emergency lane being blocked.
