Be careful of tourism and leisure accidents during the summer season!

From July to August, there were many accidents caused by "looking aside and not paying attention to the front" and "improper steering operation". (See the figure below) Especially in August, traffic jams such as homecoming and leisure occurred, and vehicle contact accidents and rear-end collisions due to too close inter-vehicle distance are increasing. To prevent an accident, keep a sufficient distance between cars, take frequent breaks, and plan for a comfortable drive.
