The holiday is near at hand, I think everyone has automatically turned on the happy mode. Xiaobian hereby reminds us that during the May 1st period, there are many cars and many people, so we must be safe first, freeway is free, and we should pay attention to the ten taboos of driving!
Highway driving taboo
Taboo 1: uneven speed
The expressway should be driven at high speed (within the specified speed limit), but if the speed is fast, the novice will be nervous, and the direction will deviate, which is easy to cause accidents. But it's slow, especially under normal road conditions, which is less than 80 km / h, and it's easy to cause visual error and rear end collision for the fast-moving rear car.
Technique: before getting on the highway, set a speed for yourself, which will also set a personal speed for driving on the highway in the future. It is recommended that novices get on the expressway for the first time, and keep 90-100 yards under normal road conditions. If it can only be lower than 80 yards, it is recommended to take ordinary roads. In addition, try to drive in the carriageway instead of occupying the overtaking lane for a long time.
No. 2: overtaking silently
Highway overtaking is inevitable. But many novices are inexperienced. When overtaking, they forget to turn on the steering light, or they start to overtake before they have a careful look. There are two major dangers: one is that the front car may be about to overtake, but it also leans out; the other is that the back car is too close or wants to overtake, and they rush to each other and collide.
Technique: before overtaking, you must see clearly before you start. Especially when overtaking a large truck, make sure that the car in front of you already knows your intention. Turn on the turn signal first, honk the horn continuously (the truck is noisy on the highway, and the driver can't hear it very well), and turn on the high beam light if necessary. When overtaking, you should be decisive. When you return to the carriageway, you should look in the rear-view mirror to ensure a safe distance behind you.
Also, don't be nervous when being overtaken. Take care of your own direction and take your own lane. Especially when a large bus overtakes, it will occasionally form a rotating air flow between the two cars. At this time, hold the steering wheel tightly and stare at the lane ahead to let it pass quickly.
Taboo 3: forget to check the tires
High temperature, fast speed, easy to cause tire blowout, tire blowout will lead to out of control direction and lead to accidents. There are many reasons for the blowout. To prevent it, we need to start from the preparation before going out.
Tip: check all four tires carefully before you go out. You'd better go to a professional repair shop to adjust the tire pressure. In particular, don't forget to check the spare tire to see if it is in good condition. When you have a break, you should also check the tires and knock them with your fist to see if they are normal. If there is any air leakage, repair it immediately.
Once there is a tire burst while driving, do not step on the brake, so the car is easy to get out of control. Hold the steering wheel tightly and pull over slowly.
