4. Three major safety hazards caused by overcrowding
1.Reduced braking performance: For every person overloaded, the braking distance increases by approximately 1.5 meters.

3.Difficulties in rescue: When the accident occurred, the escape route was blocked

Warm reminder:Recently, many places have launched a "100-day attack" special campaign.
