[Caution for traffic accidents] A traffic accident occurred in the suburbs of Kuito City, Bie Province

July 18, 2024, 1:50 a.m.
On Tuesday, July 16th, a tricycle overturned near a bridge over the Cuito River on the outskirts of Cuito City in Bie Province, killing an infant. While local residents were attempting to rescue people, a truck coming from the opposite direction collided with the crowd of rescuers, resulting in a secondary accident that killed 15 people and injured 30.

As of today, there have been no reports of Japanese nationals living abroad being affected.

All Japanese residents overseas are asked to take note of the following points and do their best to prevent traffic accidents.
(1) Carry out vehicle inspections. Carry out regular and daily inspections and manage your vehicle.
(2) Speeding is Prohibited. Drive according to the speed limit and road conditions.
(3) Do not look away from the road when driving. When using a mobile phone, stop the vehicle temporarily, know your destination in advance, and concentrate on driving.
(4) Driving when fatigued or sleep-deprived It is most important to take care of yourself so as not to become fatigued or sleep-deprived, but if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, ask a passenger to take over. If you cannot take over, taking a 15-20 minute nap after consuming caffeine such as coffee or doing waking exercise is said to be effective in waking you up. Please take appropriate breaks and change your mood to prevent traffic accidents.
(5) Do not drive on the basis that you "will," but rather, drive on the basis that you "might." Let's get rid of the mentality that others will "will" stop or not jump out in front of us, and instead, let's raise our safety awareness and make an effort to drive with consideration for the possibility that others may not stop or may jump out in front of us.
(6) Drinking and driving is prohibited. If you have been drinking alcohol, use a private driver or taxi.
The alcohol intake limit under Angolan law is 1.2g of alcohol per litre of blood, and the fine is 200,000 KZ.
(7) Preparing on-board equipment We recommend that you carry such items as booster cables, towing ropes, braking triangles, smoke bombs (which have a usage limit), spare tires (check that they are usable), and a jack (including tools).
(8) Understand the causes of accidents specific to Angola. Understand the differences between Japan and Angola.
There are many causes of accidents, such as holes in the road, manholes without covers, puddles, pedestrians running out into the street, beggars, poorly maintained vehicles (no lights at night, or a burned out light bulb making it difficult to distinguish between hazard lights and turn signals), the behavior of merging vehicles (aggressive lane changes or merging slowly), additional lanes when there is congestion, speeding, driving the wrong way, and aggressive driving (passing and honking their lights).
(9) Please keep track of your vehicle driver’s license expiration date and vehicle insurance expiration date. If your driver’s license has expired, your insurance will no longer apply.

In addition, please continue to make efforts to obtain the latest public safety information, and make every effort to ensure your own safety by strictly adhering to the three safety principles of "acting inconspicuously," "making sure your actions are not predicted," and "remaining vigilant."
