In Novotroitsk tram rammed the training Lada Granta: injured cadet and instructor

What happened

At 08:20 in front of the house No. 97 driver cadets born in 2009 behind the wheel Lada Granta performed a turn. During the maneuver, the girl was not convinced of his safety and did not give way to the tram.

After the collision, the car was thrown to the electric pole.

Consequences

The driver-cadet and passenger-instructor were taken to the city hospital of Orsk.

This crash is a stark reminder of a rule that many drivers ignore: the tram has an advantage. Rail transport cannot physically change direction or stop quickly. When turning or turning across paths, you need to assess the situation in advance - otherwise a collision is almost inevitable.

A separate moment is the learning machine. The cadets are behind the wheel, the instructor is nearby, but this did not save from a mistake. So, either the maneuver was not worked out, or the instructor did not intervene in time. For driving schools, this is an occasion to reconsider how turnarounds are practiced in real conditions.

Residents' opinion:

A car accident is always a double signal. The first is a specific driver and instructor. The second is the training system: if the cadet does not see the tram when turning, then the skill is not brought to automaticity. Good thing there were no casualties. But the lesson here is expensive.

And what do you think - who is more to blame for such accidents: a cadet or an instructor who was supposed to insure?
