The following news was reported on January 29.
“A man on a motorcycle died … A man who fell or drove a car due to a lane change was arrested on suspicion of running away (Daiichi-TV (Shizuoka Daiichi Television)) – Yahoo! News”
According to the article, a motorcycle fell on the Fukuroi Beltway in Shizuoka Prefecture, killing a man on board. Subsequent investigations alleged that the cause of the fall was a car that blocked the passage of the motorcycle when changing course towards the bypass entrance, and the driver who fled the scene was arrested.
I don’t know the details because I didn’t cover the accident directly, but the tape recorder or security camera image reflecting the crash site may have been the deciding factor.
In any case, I would like to pay tribute to the police who, despite being a “no contact” car accident, found the car that caused the fatal fall and even stopped it on suspicion of “hit and run”.
If I made a mistake, I may have been treated as a “one-time fall due to a mistake while riding a motorcycle.”
The police have not released the approval or disapproval of the driver, but I hope that future investigations will reveal the truth of the accident.
■ “Non-contact accident” where it is difficult to prove a causal relationship
In fact, even if there is no direct contact or collision, another vehicle will move dangerously and a person trying to avoid it will cause an accident.So far there have been many “no-contact accidents”.
Especially for motorcycles, panic braking can lock the tires, which is extremely dangerous. A cyclist can be seriously injured or even killed if he inevitably falls.
I have been riding a motorcycle for many years and have come across horrible scenes many times.
“If he makes a big fall now, it would be impossible to prove that ‘another car’ that made a dangerous move just before that was involved …”
With that in mind, my spine went cold.
It is not just a motorcycle accident. Even in multiple collisions that occur on the roads, the lead car that triggered the accident may be fleeing with a flat face.
In fact, looking back at the accidents we interviewed in the past, there are many similar cases.
Why did you fall on such a straight path?
Why did you hit a utility pole in such a place?
However, even if you have tried to avoid something, you cannot prove it without testing and it will be treated as a “one-time accident”.
In some cases, the perpetrator was not prosecuted for “no contact” despite the fact that the other vehicle that caused the fall was clear.
■ I fell unconscious trying to avoid the truck that changed course
There are still unforgettable accidents.
It was an accident in which a woman in her twenties was riding a medium-sized motorcycle to work.
Suddenly on the main roadWhen the truck swerves and cuts in front of the bike, she suddenly tries to avoid a collision and falls and hits her head on that momentum.。
He was immediately taken to the hospital, but suffered a persistent vegetative disorder due to a concussion and lost consciousness.
In the case of this accident, there were many witnesses because it happened during the morning rush hour, and the truck that suddenly changed course stopped at the scene and was investigated.
But in the end, the trucker was never prosecuted. Perhaps the side of the motorcycle judged that “it could have been avoided”.
After the accident, the family worked hard to reveal the truth in a civil lawsuit while continuing to devoutly care for them, but as a result, the truck was not held responsible.
A few years later, he died without even waking up.
If I could say one word, what would it mean …
■ Install a “driving recorder” in both cars and motorcycles
Several of my closest motorcycle friends have died in a single accident.
Immediately before the accident, I wonder if there is a possibility that I will be squeezed or hit.
Of course, that suspicion is just “intuition” and “doubt” of riding a motorcycle.
It is extremely difficult to establish a causal relationship for a “non-contact accident”. However, there is definitely a “no contact accident”.
The only way to protect yourself from this risk is to use a dash cam.
Recently, motorcycle driving recorders have been improved and various models have been launched, such as those that can be worn on the body of a motorcycle and those that can be worn on a helmet.
Be prepared just in case.
Too,Even if it is a single accident, there is a possibility that the driving recorder of the next oncoming vehicle or vehicle has a picture leading to the investigation of the cause.。
In the event of an accident, I would like to ask those who pass near the site to cooperate in providing information.
Best of all, remember that you are responsible for any accident caused by your own driving, even if you are not in contact. If he flees as he is, he will be accused of “hit and run”.
For the police conducting the initial investigation, as in the story mentioned at the beginning,Even if it is a “one-time accident”, I would like to request a careful investigation that goes one step further.
