Road safety expert Artur Sulçe spoke about the tragic accident in Tepelena where 4 people lost their lives and 3 others were seriously injured. He said that this tragedy could have been avoided if the drivers had respected the traffic rules.
Looking at the scene of the accident, the road safety expert notes the 2 violations that caused this accident, the wrong overtaking performed by the Benz vehicle and the failure to keep a safe distance from the BMW vehicle.
"Fast overtaking takes 7 seconds and normal overtaking takes 14 seconds. In order to make a safe passing, the visibility distance must be 5x 80, so it should be 400 meters. There is a turning point and he has entered a very small visibility distance", says expert Artur Sulçe.
The consequences of the accident worsened even more due to the failure to respect the safety distance from the BME vehicle.
"It should be the square of the tenths. So if the speed is 80 km/h. Then the safety distance that the BMW should have had with the Toyota should have been 64 meters. The fact that they collided shows that that distance was not maintained", said Sulçe for "TCH".
The 4 lives lost from the accident in Tepelena brought the number of victims from accidents to 27 this year. Despite the fact that compared to the same period of a year ago, the number of victims is much lower, it is still problematic and the main causes for accidents with victims are speeding beyond the permitted rates and wrong overtaking.
