If you rely too much on the back monitor of the car, the benefits in terms of safety will be 0 and the back monitor installation rate will increase the increase in the event of a retreating accident?Too dependent and the benefits are zero

　At first glance, the back monitor installation rate has increased, and it seems that safety is increasing, but it depends on the back monitor, although it is a cause that does not decrease the accident.By relying too much on the projected video, the confirmation of the back monitor near the blind spot has been neglected.

　JAF has released a video of the "Live -action Danger Predicated Training" training that predicts danger from various traffic situations on the official YouTube account.

　One of them is a reproduction video in which a passenger car starts in the back while checking only the back monitor from the parking space, does not notice the child who tries to pass through the left side of the car.

　So, we talked to Takagi Takagi, a traffic environment section of the JAF Tokyo Branch Business Division, about the precautions on the back monitor.

"The back monitor reduces the burden on the driver in that it makes it easier to check behind.

　If you have a monitor, you should use it aggressively and use it to avoid accidents, but what you want to be aware of is to be too dependent and take dangerous actions.

　Suddenly starting a retreat or omitting safety confirmation will result in zero safety benefits. "

　The driving school teaches how to check back mirrors, door mirrors, and even twist the body as a confirmation of safety when retreating.

"The part that is not visible while sitting in the car driver's seat is a blind spot. The back monitor is a convenient equipment that allows you to check the back of the car that is difficult to see from the driver's seat, but the monitor does not reflect the side of the car or front.Hmm. Also, not all behind it appears on the monitor.

　In particular, cars with large vehicles such as minivans and SUVs have a large blind spot, and short children tend to overlook them.In the parking lot, be careful about the existence of children, and check not only back monitors but also mirrors and visually when backing "(Mr. JAF Takagi)

Is the safety of the future mirrorless era depends on the driver?

　In the future, the camera monitoring system (CMS), which is an electronic mirror, will be the mainstream, and it is said that the era of mirrorless cars that do not need conventional room mirrors and door mirrors will arrive.

"The visible range of mirrorless cars may be careless, and you may concentrate your viewpoint in a specific direction without knowing it.

　When backing, don't forget that you need to pay attention to back, back, left and right as needed.Also, it is important to check the surroundings of the car whether there is any abnormalities before riding, even if it is a mirrorless car "(Mr. JAF Takagi)

　Mr. Takagi of JAF mentioned earlier is important to remember the basics, no matter how much the car evolves.The most dangerous thing is to neglect safety by getting used to being distracted by getting used to it.

　The car will always evolve and it will be convenient, but if the driver who uses it has forget about safety and basics, that technology is meaningless.

　I sometimes hear the painful news that my child is involved in an accident by picking up a nursery school or kindergarten in an accident.

　When you are in a hurry or when you are relieved on the premises of your home, be sure to check the basics and check the safety.
