2. Through a third section of the Badaling Expressway is built on mountains, large trucks on the road in the mountains once the speed had it is easy to lose control fast. Thus, 110 km per hour speed limit on highways generally different, the black spot in the cart speed is limited to 40 km per hour, car 60 km per hour, many drivers did not.

2. Poor road conditions, bad cars, safety incomplete.

3. Speeding. The road vehicles, turn many roads lack the necessary guards or other safety equipment, people open up and do not worry.
