1. Time for troubles to increase! Check your vehicle before you leave.
Every year, September is the time when there are many car troubles. The main cause of failure “Tire damage” Or "Out of fuel" And so on. Most failures can be prevented by basic inspection.
If you stop on a Expressway due to a breakdown, you will easily encounter a traffic accident, which is extremely dangerous. Fuel, tires, oil, cooling water Please be sure to check the above before departure.
If you have a car trouble while driving, When the car moves, move to a safe place such as SA / PA as much as possible please. When unavoidably stopping on the Expressway, first turn on the hazard lamp, turn on the flaming cylinder and the triangular display board, Signal to the following vehicle Please do. Then to a safe place such as outside the guardrail Evacuation Then dial 110, emergency phone, road emergency dial # 9910 Report please.
2. Sideways driving is dangerous. Let's concentrate on driving!
I was distracted by the surrounding scenery, the car navigation system, and the mobile phone, Side view driving Are you doing?
At a speed of 100 km / h, the car Approximately 28m per second Therefore, a momentary "looking aside" may lead to a serious accident.
The Road Traffic Law prohibits the use of mobile phones while driving. It is also strictly prohibited to stop the vehicle at a roadside or where there is a flow direction display (zebra zone). When using a mobile phone, please stop the car with SA / PA before operating.

4. The number of motorcycle accidents is increasing. Please drive safely!
Motorbike accidents on the Expressway are increasing. There were 6 fatal accidents involving motorbikes last year, and 3 have already occurred this year. (As of the end of August, surveyed by the Regional Head Office)
Unlike a car, a motorcycle is easily affected by the weather such as rain and wind, and there is nothing to protect the body in the event of an accident, so even a small accident can lead to a serious accident.
When riding a Expressway, speed Is conservative, Inter-vehicular distance Let's take enough.
Also, if you slip through a shoulder or between cars Unreasonable overtaking run Please stop because it is very dangerous.
5. Reverse run is a life-threatening dangerous act- "Let's lose it, reverse run"-
A serious accident has occurred on a Expressway due to a reverse running vehicle. Expressway can only drive in the designated direction. Make sure to check the regulatory signs, guide signs, and road markings.
Reverse cars tend to drive in the right lane (overtaking lane) there is. If you see and hear the reverse-running car Slow down , Sufficient inter-vehicle distance Take the pedestrian zone Leftmost Let's drive.
If you see a reverse running car on the Expressway, No. 110 Please report with.
If you run backwards, stop in a safe place and turn on the hazard lights. Then evacuate to a safe place nearby (do not remain in the vehicle), No. 110 Or near emergency phone Please report with.
6. Life-saving seat belts Wear on all seats!
On the Expressway within the Kanto Regional Head Office this year, Many accidents due to non-use of seat belts doing.
