Two cars collided with passengers and crashed into a taxi

Two vehicles collided with passengers' head and suffered tragic death

Whether taxi advertisement screen is still under investigation

In recent days, a microblogging “having hit a taxi’s small TV” has triggered a heated discussion among netizens. Weibo said that at about 5 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Shen and his wife took a taxi from west to east on the Huaxia Viaduct, and when they reached near Tanghuang Road, the taxi collided with a car in front of them. In the accident, Mr. Shen suffered a head injury and died. The advertising screen in front of him was accused of being the "culprit." This morning, the reporter learned from the Municipal Bureau of Communications that the cause of the accident was under further investigation. The relevant departments have asked the operating companies to raise their awareness of safety and drive safely and carefully.

“The possible reason for this happening was that the driver’s speed was faster at that time.” Master Zhang, who had been driving a taxi for nearly 19 years, said that the advertisement screen should be installed in the car for six or seven years. Before that, he did not listen to passengers. Insecurity is when someone says that the sound is loud. Taxi industry insider Mr. Zou frankly stated that this type of advertising screen appeared in taxis 10 years ago. “The cause of the injury accident is very complicated. It has a direct relationship with the road conditions and the driver’s operations. The investigation did not lead to a conclusion."

According to media reports, the on-board information and video facilities ("Advertising Screens") used by Mr. Shen's right front seat headrest at the time of Mr. Shen's seat were related to the media. “Touching the media” issued a statement stating that the culprit of the tragedy was a car accident rather than a screen and expressed condolences and condolences to the deceased and his family.

Ms. Ma, a regular citizen, often takes taxis to and from work, leaving her with a lingering fear of advertising screens. "Actually, I didn't look at the advertisements above and I was annoying. But to get in and out of the car, I basically sat in front of the screen. Last rainy evening last year, I drove on my way home and the driver gave me a sudden brake. I was wearing it. The glasses hit the screen. From then on, I would rather sit in the seat behind the driver."

According to the "Shanghai Taxi Car Passenger Vehicle Regulations" that came into force on December 1, last year, the banner advertisement at the bottom of the rear window should use one-way perspective materials; the materials and settings of the onboard information and video facilities should ensure safety and cause personal injury to passengers. The operator shall be liable for compensation in accordance with the law.

Traffic safety experts analyzed that the screen on the front passenger's headrest is really harder than the foam on the headrest. However, the fatal accident mainly depends on the speed of the rear-end vehicle and whether or not it is wearing a seat belt.

Shanghai Jianye Law Firm, a lawyer of Shanghai Lianye Law Firm, believes that the key to this incident lies in the investigation of the causes and the determination of responsibility. Of course, whether or not safety warnings should be marked on the advertising screen and reminding rear-seat passengers to wear seat belts is also worth considering.
