Recently, the major media have continuously disclosed the investigation results of the “most beautiful driver case”, and many multimedia have reported that the “most beautiful driver case” is that the brake drum on the Dongfeng truck came out, resulting in falling, injuring and killing bus driver Wu Bin. According to the reporter’s further understanding, it is a misreading that “the brake drum is the brake drum on the trailer behind the Dongfeng tractor”.
According to the reporter’s further understanding, it was found that in the “Wu Bin case”, the brake drum hitting Wu Bin came from the brake drum on the second row of the three rows of wheels in the trailer of the rear half of a tractor, not the front of the tractor. Because the front of the tractor is Dongfeng brand, many media misunderstood the iron block as “Dongfeng truck brake drum”.
From the perspective of safety, it has been recognized that trucks should use disc brakes. Many vehicle enterprises are also vigorously promoting disc brakes. Now, many brands of tractors have been equipped with disc brakes, while most trailers still use drum brakes. In addition, many trailers are produced by small factories, and the accessories lack a strict quality management system. In addition, some trucks are seriously overloaded, which makes the brake drum of some truck trailers a potential road killer.
We certainly need to praise heroes like Wu Bin, but we need to pay more attention to the safety of trucks. We hope that Wu Bin’s case will be less and less, and we hope that “flying objects outside the sky” will not appear again.
