Ukushayela okuphazamisekile

Ukushayela okuphazamisekile kwenza noma yimuphi umsebenzi othatha ukunaka kwakho ekushayeleni. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukusebenzisa umakhalekhukhwini ukushaya noma ukuthumela imiyalezo ngenkathi ushayela. Ukushayela okuphazamisekile kukwenza ube sethubeni lokungena engozini.

Ngenxa yalokhu, izifundazwe eziningi zishaye imithetho ezosiza ukuyeka lo mkhuba. Ungakugwema ukushayela okuphazamisekile ngokufunda ukuthi ungahlala kanjani uphephile ngomakhalekhukhwini emotweni.

Ukushayela ngokuphepha, uMkhandlu Kazwelonke Wezokuphepha uthi kufanele:

1. Amehlo akho asendleleni
2. Izandla zakho esondweni
3. Ingqondo yakho ekushayeleni

Ukushayela okuphazamisekile kwenzeka lapho okuthile kungena endleleni yakho yokwenza zonke izinto ezi-3. Izibonelo zifaka:

• Ukukhuluma nomakhalekhukhwini
• Ukufunda noma ukuthumela imiyalezo
• Ukudla nokuphuza
• Ukuzilungisa (ukulungisa izinwele zakho, ukushefa, noma ukufaka izimonyo)
• Ukulungisa umsakazo noma enye idivayisi edlala umculo
• Usebenzisa uhlelo lokuzulazula
• Kufundwa (kufaka phakathi amamephu)

Usethubeni eliphindwe kane lokungena engozini yemoto uma ukhuluma nomakhalekhukhwini. Leyo ingozi efanayo nokushayela uphuzile. Ukwelulela ifoni, ukuyishayela, nokukhuluma konke kususa ukunaka kwakho ekushayeleni.

Ngisho nezingcingo ezingenazandla akuphephile kangako. Lapho abashayeli besebenzisa izingcingo ezingenazandla, ababoni noma bezwe izinto ezingabasiza ukuthi bagweme ukuphahlazeka. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izimpawu zokuma, amalambu abomvu, nabahamba ngezinyawo. Cishe i-25% yazo zonke izingozi zezimoto zibandakanya ukusetshenziswa komakhalekhukhwini, kufaka phakathi amafoni angenazandla.

Ukukhuluma nabanye abantu emotweni akunangozi encane kunokukhuluma nocingo. Umgibeli angabona izinkinga zomgwaqo ngaphambili bese eyeka ukukhuluma. Banikela nangenye isethi yamehlo yokubona nokukhomba izingozi zomgwaqo.

Ukuthumela imiyalezo ngenkathi ushayela kuyingozi kunokukhuluma nocingo. Ukuthayipha ocingweni kukunaka kakhulu kunezinye iziphazamiso. Ngisho nokukhuluma nocingo ukuthumela umyalezo (izwi-to-text) akuphephile.

Uma uthumela umbhalo, amehlo akho asuke engekho emgwaqweni ngokwesilinganiso semizuzwana emi-5. Ku-55 mph, imoto ihamba isigamu sobude benkundla yebhola ngemizuzwana emi-5. Kuningi okungenzeka kuleso sikhathi esifushane.

Ukushayela okuphazamisekile kuyinkinga phakathi kwabantu bayo yonke iminyaka. Kepha intsha kanye nabantu abadala basengozini enkulu kakhulu. Iningi lentsha nentsha lithi liyibhalile, liyithumele, noma liyifundile imibhalo ngenkathi lishayela. Abashayeli abancane abangenalwazi banesibalo esiphezulu sezingozi ezibulalayo ezibangelwa ukushayela okuphazamisekile. Uma ungumzali, fundisa ingane yakho ngezingozi zokukhuluma nokuthumela imiyalezo ngenkathi ushayela.

Sebenzisa lawa macebiso ukugwema iziphazamiso ngenkathi ushayela:

• Musa ukwenza imisebenzi eminingi. Ngaphambi kokuvula imoto yakho, qeda ukudla, ukuphuza nokuzilungisa. Hlela amasistimu wakho wokulalelwayo nokuzula ngaphambi kokuthi uqale ukushayela.
• Uma ungena esihlalweni somshayeli, cisha ifoni yakho bese uyibeka lapho kungatholakali khona. Uma ubanjwa usebenzisa ifoni ngenkathi ushayela, ungafaka engozini ithikithi noma inhlawulo. Iningi lamazwe livimbele ukuthumela imiyalezo ngenkathi lishayela abantu bayo yonke iminyaka. Abanye baphinde bakwenqabela ukusetshenziswa kwamafoni aphathwayo ngenkathi beshayela. Funda ngemithetho esifundazweni sakho ku: www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/distracted-driving.
• Landa uhlelo lokusebenza olukhiya ifoni. Lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza zisebenza ngokuvimba izici ezifana nokuthumela imiyalezo imiyalezo nokushaya ngenkathi imoto ihamba ngaphezu komkhawulo wejubane elibekiwe. Iningi lilawulwa kude ngewebhusayithi futhi likhokhisa imali yenyanga noma yonyaka. Ungathenga futhi nezinhlelo ezixhuma kwikhompyutha yemoto noma ezibekwe kufasitela lomoya elinganisa ukusetshenziswa komakhalekhukhwini ngenkathi imoto ihamba.
• Thembisa ukungasebenzisi iselula yakho ngenkathi ushayela. Sayina isibambiso se-National Highway Safety Administration ku www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/distracted-driving. Kubandakanya nesithembiso sokukhuluma uma umshayeli wemoto yakho ephazamisekile nokukhuthaza abangane nomndeni ukuthi bashayele ucingo mahhala.
