Tragicomic ‘Traffic Accident’ Summarizing Turkey [Video]

In Turkey, a decision has been taken in recent months that gives priority to pedestrians in traffic. According to this decision, drivers had to give way to pedestrians trying to cross at pedestrian crossings where there are no traffic lights. Even after the rule in question came into force, strict inspections were made. However, this rule, which is found in many parts of the world, did not work as desired in our country.

A large part of the citizens started to give way to pedestrians by following the new rule. However, traffic accidents caused by some unruly drivers caused the conscious citizen to move away from the rule. Because people were worried that someone else would hit their vehicle from behind and that a vehicle coming at full speed from the side lane would crush the pedestrian who was given the way. An incident that took place in the past months was a clear indication of why the rule in question could not be implemented across Turkey.

A bus was hit by a vehicle that gave way to pedestrians during the news shoot.

A news source called Medya Ankara had taken to the street to prepare a news about the rule that gives priority to pedestrians. The team, which completed the shooting of the news in question on March 29, then served this video on YouTube and other social media accounts. The video, which came to the agenda again with the opening of schools and the increase in traffic accidents, is almost a summary of our country. . .

In the video in question, a Media Ankara reporter and a citizen are trying to cross a pedestrian crossing without a traffic light. A vehicle that finally gives way to citizens who have been waiting for minutes, this time gets involved in a traffic accident out of nowhere. The video, which was recalled as the pedestrian crossings started to be discussed while the vehicle hit by the bus behind it, caused material damage, also reveals why the rule in question could not be applied.

This is how the traffic accident, which happened while trying to follow the rules, was reflected on the cameras.
