“The most frequent traffic accidents, especially on holidays, are the points close to the destination. We need to pay attention all together. We should not drive when we are sleepless and have no habit. We must rest for 2 minutes every 10 hours. This is a warning that is preached to us within international standards. We have been seeing an increase in traffic accidents for about a month and a half. That is, especially lane changes, those who constantly follow the left lane constitute wrong lane changes of other vehicles. Those who do not go fast in the lanes cause wrong and dangerous overtakings. Most importantly, trucks and heavy vehicles, if they do not go through the lanes allocated to them, unfortunately also cause a traffic rule violation that will lead to incorrect overtaking of other heavy vehicles and vehicles. That is why each of us must follow the rules. ”
