  3. In the event of an emergency at Expressway, be sure to give a "signal to the following vehicle", "evacuate to a safe place", and "report after evacuating"!

1. 1. Wear seat belts on all seats!
Last year, on a Expressway under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Regional Head Office, a tragic accident occurred in which a person was released outside the vehicle without wearing a seatbelt and died. According to past data, the case fatality rate of non-seatbelt wearers is about 10 times higher than that of wearers (see the figure below). According to a survey by the National Police Agency and JAF, the wearing rate on Expressway is 99.5% * for drivers, while it is only 74.4% * for passengers in the back seats (* from 2017 seatbelt wearing rate data). ..

Since seat belts are directly linked to life, Wearing all the driver's seat, passenger seat and rear seat Be thorough.
