On the 26th, an off-road vehicle passed through a wall in Beijing's China Trade Center. The woman security guard was hit and died on the spot. Two employees in the office suffered head injury after being hit, which was not serious after treatment. Witnesses said that the driver of the vehicle was a female, wearing 5cm high-heeled shoes at the time of the accident. During the turning process, the driver suspected that the brake acted as the accelerator, causing the vehicle to run out of control and then accelerate to hit the wall.
Reasons why you can't wear high heels when driving:
Jinan overpass Traffic Police Brigade once did an experiment specially for wearing high heels: female policeman Wang Shuo drove a hatchback automatic transmission car to do the experiment. Police first wear flat soled sports shoes, the sole height is 1.5 cm, the right foot on the brake pedal, the vertical distance between the forefoot and the car floor is 9 cm. Driving at a speed of 40 km / h, the emergency braking distance is 1.9 M.
After that, Wang Shuo put on high heels 6 cm high. After putting on the high-heeled shoes, Wang Shuo first tried the brake pedal several times. Because the heels were too high, the high-heeled shoes could not step on the brake, and it was very difficult between the accelerator and the brake. After driving at the same speed of 40 km / h, Wang Shuo took emergency braking measures, and the braking distance was measured to be 4.4 meters.
In other words, under the same speed, vehicle and road conditions, wearing high-heeled shoes (6cm), slippers braking distance is twice as long as flat heeled shoes (1.5cm). Although it is only a few meters away, in a traffic accident, even if it is only ten centimeters, it may save a person's life.
You can't wear any shoes when driving
1. Slippers: the shoes are not heel, and the risk of slipping and sticking is high
2. Medium and high boots: the shoes are very tall, but the legs and knees are wrapped, so the joints are not easy to move, which affects the driving.
3. Martin boots: the thick and wide soles affect the pedals. Drivers with big feet should be careful.
4. Slope heel shoes: it greatly affects the force control of stepping on the pedal. High heel shoes are no different
Various types of thickened soles, muffin shoes: lack of foot feel, affect driving, too thick soles may lead to stepping on the accelerator too much, braking too much and other troubles.
6. Snow boots: compared with the above pairs, they are relatively safe, but because they are soft, they may get stuck between the throttle and clutch, so it is not recommended to wear them to drive.
7. Dongdong shoes: wide and soft, with the risk of being trampled and stuck by mistake.
Notes for novice drivers:
1. Read the owner's manual carefully
If a person wants to develop a good driving habit, first of all, he should read the owner's manual and stop self-study and theory. Some functions of each car are different, but the owner's manual will give detailed application methods and precautions according to the characteristics of each car. He must read it carefully and remember it firmly. For example, some people don't know how to turn on the high beam lights, how to change the light, how to turn on the fog lights and turn on the steering lights. These things are bound to be used, and they are related to the safety of driving. Just because of this, we must be familiar with the actual situation and make a professional theory in the car.
2. Learn how to stop introspection
Oil and water is very important to the normal operation of the car. Some novices don't know where the oil meter is or how to look at the cooling water. They have to learn from the maintenance staff outside the car shop. We should know the position and reading of oil meter, speedometer and water temperature meter, and learn to reflect on oil and water. Gasoline usually depends on the fuel gauge, and cooling water depends on whether the kettle in the engine compartment can be filled up. Usually, the colors of the cooling kettle are blue, white, maybe yellow or green. Different models have different colors. You need to know the status and how to distinguish them. You should learn how to take out the oil dipstick and how to look at it. Wiper is to try to add private use of wiper fluid or cleaning agent mixed with water, do not use indiscriminately, do not have to, otherwise, either damage the glass, or not clean the glass.
3. Learn to look at the meter
The display content of the instrument light indicates all the task forms of the car up to now. You should learn to understand what it indicates. In addition, the engine oil lamp and water temperature lamp displayed under the instrument panel are the most important. You need to be able to read them. If the engine oil lamp or water temperature indication is successful, it will light up under the instrument panel. At this time, you need to pull over and turn on the emergency light immediately, and then contact the 4S shop maintenance personnel to come to deal with it. I don't want to drive forward consciously, otherwise the parts of the car will be seriously injured, and It's not safe to drive. If the ABS light is on or you can drive, this is the result of the software. It is usually the hardware in the car. Maybe the gasoline quality is not good, for example, if the oil quality is not good, the exhaust gas will exceed the standard, and the faulty light will be turned on. At this time, you can speed up the driving, and you need to enter the repair shop in time.
4. Correctly use the defrosting function of the air conditioner
Guangzhou is located in the subtropical zone, usually with more rain and humidity. Because of this, the front windshield is easy to show fog. If it is not cleared in time, it will seriously affect the safety of driving. Because of this, the defrosting function of the air conditioner should be learned to use. Usually, the manual air conditioner should be adjusted to the air conditioning position, and then to the defrosting position. The automatic air conditioner can be switched to the position of demisting. Some models have separate demisting and defrosting and need to be started independently.
5. Correctly master superstition and accurately stop
The choice of parking position should be appropriate. Try not to park in restaurants and other places that are easy to attract mice, or obstruct others from entering or leaving, or occupy others' parking spaces.
Don't park around the thatch or haystack when you go out for a self driving tour. As you drive for a long time, the exhaust pipe temperature is too high, especially for turbocharged cars, which is easy to ignite a fire.
Try not to stop on the slope with large angle. If you really want to stop, you'd better move a big stone under the wheel.
In addition, it is necessary to turn off the lights when parking at night. Many novices are prone to make the mistake of forgetting to turn off the lights when parking at night. In some car designs, when the key is pulled out and the lights are not closed, the lights still keep the dark light. If they are not closed, the car battery will be used up at night. In addition, they forget to turn off the interior lights. Although the power consumption is small, it is not safe for lawbreakers to clearly see what you left behind in the car.
6. There is no need to preheat after ignition
In the past, the car usually needs to warm up for a few minutes after ignition. This move is out of date, especially in Guangzhou, where the climate is extremely hot.
For many EFI vehicles, when the ignition key is turned on, the trip computer will stop self checking, so as to eliminate the hidden danger of driving safety. The self checking items usually include ABS, braking system, smooth system, ESP system, etc. The auto computer self-test time is usually short, about three or four seconds. At this time, it's better not to start it. As long as there is no problem, the light is on. After all the instruments are normal, you can drive as usual.
Start to see the handbrake light, timely release the handbrake.
In the process of driving, use the spare light to look at the rear-view mirror and vehicle endoscope, and confirm whether you can walk under your own lane to confirm the correct reference. In addition, don't occupy another overtaking lane on the right for a long time.
7. Keep the spare key away from the car
The spare key of the car is for emergency use, but usually it should not be put in the car, and it should be separated as far as possible. Because the novice sometimes forgets that the door is locked, and if the spare key is in the car, it will give the lawbreakers no space to take advantage of and steal the car.
Of course, it is sometimes necessary to take a spare key with you when you drive a long distance, but you should not put it in the car and carry it close to your body. Otherwise, when you lose or can't use the commonly used key, you will have to damage the window to get the spare key, and the loss is not small.
In addition, for the purpose of paying parking fees, many car owners will put some coins in the car. But for the novice, don't put the coin in the water cup slot around the handbrake, otherwise, if you are not careful when you take it out, you can make the coin drop into the handbrake slot by mistake and enter the mechanical bin. Although the machines in the mechanical warehouse are all sealed, it is usually thought that they will not affect the operation of the automobile machinery, but after all, it will increase the cost. It is said that it will take more complex professional operation to take out the coins. Some handbrake designs pay attention to this point to prevent coins from falling into the gap, but many cars do not have such detailed design.
8. Keep the distance between cars and form the habit of mastering the condition of cars
Whether driving or parking, we should keep the distance between cars. Because novices often have a poor sense of propriety on the road, they brake too late in case of traffic jam or red light, so that the front of the car is too close to the back of the car. In addition, they are not familiar with the operation of starting essentials, and they are often too patient, so they are easy to bump into the front car when they start again. In addition, if the driver in front of you is also a novice, he will slip backward when starting, and it is easy to hit your car.
Parking is also a reason, we must keep the car distance. In particular, it should be noted that in a professional car, the position of the foot is usually placed on the accelerator, and the outer 8 characters are kept on the accelerator obliquely, so as to step on the brake in time. In case of an emergency, the right foot will step on the accelerator and brake separately, so that it will not lead to the comedy of stepping on the accelerator by mistake. In addition, it will take a long time to look at the instrument panel with the spare light of your eyes, so as to form the habit of mastering the condition of the vehicle at any time, because all the information of the vehicle is concentrated on the instrument.
9. Keep a distance from the steering wheel when driving
Don't lie on the steering wheel while driving. Keep a certain distance. Of course, it can't be too far away. The knee can be slightly bent when you step on the brake.
The first is to maintain the tire; the second is about the suspension, rubber parts and connecting parts of the car.
Secondly, try to avoid puddles when driving. First, you don't know the depth and area of water. Once it's very deep, it's troublesome. Because some puddles are 'bottomless holes', it's very risky. Of course, if there is a car behind you, you can follow up, but you must accelerate early. It can't rush through at high speed, because the grip of the tire will be worse when passing through the puddle, and the braking interval will be much longer at this time. In case of emergency, it can't brake in time. In addition, after passing through the puddle, lightly step on the brake and dry the water under the brake disc to prevent the brake disc from rusting.
10. Don't step on the foot brake repeatedly in flameout mode
Today's automobile design, foot brake related equipment, such as hydraulic oil, need engine operation support. When the car is in the flameout state, the foot brake can only be stepped on two or three times, and then it will become stiff, and can no longer be stepped on, unable to play a braking role. When you suddenly find this phenomenon, don't panic. It's not a car fault. When the car (especially the manual stop) stops unexpectedly on the ramp, you can't release the foot brake after quickly stepping on it, and you can't repeatedly step on it. Otherwise, it's easy to cause the car to slip and hit other vehicles. No matter whether it is slippery or not, you should arbitrarily pull up the handbrake, and then start with a fire. When the ignition is started, the foot brake will stop immediately.
In addition, to spare tire pressure gauge and tire key, tire key is very important. It is important to assemble tires. Because the original car is not easy to use, experts say that tire performance is not usually met. Once the tire assembly is not convenient, it will bring a lot of trouble, especially in the middle of the mountain where there are few people, the tire can not be unloaded.
