The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security reminds drivers and passengers to consciously abide by laws and regulations when traveling during the holidays and drive safely and civilly. During the holidays, there are many gatherings of relatives and friends, and a lot of drinking. Please remember "don't drink when driving, and don't drive after drinking." Don't take chances and drive after drinking. Roads in mountainous areas and scenic areas have many curves and steep roads. When meeting cars, you must slow down and keep to the right and drive steadily. It is strictly forbidden to force overtake and meet cars on curved roads and other sections with poor visibility. It is strictly forbidden to change lanes and overtake in tunnels. Traffic flow is concentrated in scenic spots and business districts during holidays, and queues are likely to occur on some road sections. It is necessary to plan travel routes in advance and choose travel modes reasonably. When driving and encounter queues, please line up in an orderly manner and pass in sequence. Do not change lanes at will or rush to pass through traffic jams. Driving long distances by yourself can make your body tired easily. Please make sure you get enough rest before driving. If you feel tired while driving, stop and rest immediately at the nearest service area. If you miss a highway exit, continue to the next exit and do not make a sudden stop or reverse at the exit. In rainy and foggy weather, you must "slow down, control distance, and brighten the tail" to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sudden lane changes. Don’t panic when a traffic accident occurs. Remember to “pull over, flash the vehicle, evacuate, set up a warning, and call the police immediately” to avoid secondary accidents.
