[E -BIKE daily] I feel that the news of bicycle accidents is increasing -Home appliances Watch

Sometimes I see it ... No, I feel like it has increased a little recently, the news of a bicycle accident.Above all, knowing a pedestrian and a bicycle accident will make you feel scared.

What I am very scared is an accident where a bicycle collided with a pedestrian and caused a pedestrian to death or severely injured.In accidents between bicycles and pedestrians, the ratio of the bicycle side often increases, and a large amount of damages may be charged.There is ... as you know, you actually see such news.

Here are some of the documents distributed at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's “Study Group on Damage Security System due to the operation of a bicycle”.The data is a little old, but for your reference what expensive damages are.

In the example of the amount of compensation above, the perpetrators of the accident that were 95.21 million yen and 92.66 million yen are elementary school students (11 years old) and high school boys.How do you pay?

If a minor becomes a perpetrator, it seems that parents may pay compensation in some cases.Because various elements are involved, I think that it will be a decision on a case -by -case case, but there are cases where parents take the liability for children's accidents.

In other accidents such as 66.79 million yen, 54.38 million yen, and 47.46 million yen, adult men are the perpetrators.These are also very money.How do you pay?

You may be able to pay if you have a large amount of money or have insurance.However, even if you can pay the amount of compensation, you only have the liability.

If such a compensation accident occurs, the life of the perpetrators and the victim will change their lives significantly.You may be sad, angry, regretful, and despair.Both the other person and the life will change completely.

What can you do to prevent such misfortunes? You can think of short -circuited, "you don't have to ride a bicycle" or "don't walk on the road", but that's impossible.

It may be good to take out bicycle insurance for the time being.If you can pay damages with insurance, some of the misfortune born from the accident may be alleviated.

But before that, it is important to learn the rules, manners and risks when riding a bicycle.You can learn now on a website such as the Metropolitan Police Department's "Bicycle Transportation Rules".

Nevertheless, do underage students access such pages and actively learn rules and manners? I think some minors are learning ... but just bicycles.I think more minors are riding.Isn't the same not only for minors but also for adults?

I think most people are riding a bicycle in the past who taught how to ride a bicycle in the past.If you were teaching bicycles, manners, and risks at the same time, may have reduced unfortunate accidents.Or maybe you should teach bicycle rules, manners, and risks more thoroughly at school.

The car is more well -educated in the rules, manners, and risks than bicycles.To get a license, there is an exam, and you need to learn the rules, manners, and risks.In addition, cars are more likely to have more serious accidents, so it seems that rule manners and risks are more thorough than bicycles.

Still, a car accident has occurred.Many car accidents are caused by people who should have learned the rules, manners, and risks.

After all, the consciousness of the person riding a bicycle is very important.Originally a convenient and fun bicycle, it can lead to unfortunate.I want to think about it.It may be safe to think that pedestrians who do not ride a bicycle are not aware of the rules, manners, and risks.
