"Road Traffic Injury" has now become the leading cause of "injury death," surpassing suicide. As a vital part of daily life, safe driving affects millions of families. In response to this growing concern, media outlets have launched a series of reports titled “Don’t Know the Details of Driving,†aiming to promote safer, more harmonious, and smoother road experiences for everyone.
As the weather warms up, high-heeled shoes have become a popular choice among many young women. However, what many don’t realize is that these stylish shoes can also pose serious risks on the road. According to recent reports from traffic police, an increasing number of accidents are linked to drivers not wearing proper footwear, including high heels, platform shoes, snow boots, and open-toed sandals.
**Platform Shoes**
On November 27th at around 9:00 AM, a collision occurred on a rural section of National Highway 104 in Yueqing. A driver, Ms. Chen, was attempting to change lanes when her platform shoes caused her to lose control. Due to the thick soles, she couldn't press the brake pedal effectively, leading to a crash that injured a cyclist. Ms. Chen later explained that despite pressing the brakes, the thick heel made it difficult to apply sufficient pressure.
Traffic police analyzed that platform shoes reduce foot sensitivity, making it harder to operate the pedals accurately. This lack of responsiveness can be especially dangerous during sudden braking or quick maneuvers.
**High Heels**
At 1:30 AM yesterday, Ms. Chen was driving through an intersection when she attempted to overtake a truck. Despite slamming on the brakes, she still collided with the vehicle in front, causing significant damage. Upon investigation, police found that she was wearing 5cm heels, which made it hard for her to apply the brakes properly.
Experts warn that high heels can lead to longer braking distances and increase the risk of the heel getting stuck under the pedal, potentially causing a complete failure of the braking system. Similarly, slippers and other open-toed shoes can result in slipping or difficulty in controlling the pedals.
**The Safest Driving Shoes**
While there's no strict rule on what’s safest, many shoe brands now offer specialized driving shoes. These are designed with thinner soles and improved grip to enhance pedal control. Prices range from 200 to 3,000 yuan, with brands like Reebok, GEOX, and New Balance offering options. While professional driving shoes may be costly, casual shoes with soft uppers and moderate soles can also be suitable for everyday driving.
**Coaches’ Advice**
In Guangzhou, driving instructors often remind students to avoid wearing thick or rigid shoes. Snow boots, for example, are too bulky and can get caught between the pedals, creating a major safety hazard. Coaches emphasize the importance of flat, flexible shoes that allow for better control.
**Traffic Police Reminder**
Police advise drivers, especially women, to wear flat shoes while driving. After changing into appropriate footwear, they should avoid leaving old shoes under the seat, as they could roll under the brake pedal and cause issues.
**Hole Shoes**
Open-toed shoes, though fashionable, can be risky due to their wide shape and soft soles. They increase the chance of slipping, reducing stability and control behind the wheel.
Driving safely starts with the right footwear. Choosing comfortable, well-fitted shoes can make a big difference in preventing accidents and ensuring a safer journey for everyone on the road.
Silicon Nitride Ceramic Structural Parts
Silicon nitride is used as a high-grade refractory material, such as SI3N4-SIC refractory material for blast furnace body and so on with sic junction; for example, SI3N4-BN material is used in combination with BN for horizontal continuous casting separation ring. The SI3N4-BN horizontal continuous casting separation ring is a fine structure ceramic material with uniform structure and high mechanical strength. It has good thermal shock resistance and is not wetted by molten steel, which meets the requirements of continuous casting process.
