The collective trips of production, transport and agricultural workers have increased, and are intertwined with the return home to visit relatives, sweep and remove vehicles. . The volume of traffic on rural roads has increased significantly. In addition to light trucks, tricycles, and tractors, accidents with illegal crew members are more likely. Recently, in Guangxi, Yunnan and other rural areas, there have been agricultural vehicle accidents with crew members after another.
