The May Day holiday is just around the corner. Many people who are ready to go have their bags ready to go. So what are the travel precautions during the May 1st Expressway? Follow the small compilation of the four seas network to learn about it.
Personal safety must be ensured in case of vehicle failure:
If you have to stop on the high-speed road, such as accidents, traffic control, etc., get off immediately after stopping, open the double flash, lock the door, and stand outside the guardrail, you must ensure personal safety. In case of failure of your own vehicle, you should immediately turn on the double flashing lights to prompt other vehicles, and set the triangle warning sign 150 meters away from the direction of the failure vehicle. Meanwhile, the personnel on the vehicle should quickly transfer to the left shoulder or the emergency lane, and quickly call for help.
Most of the failures of vehicles on high-speed roads are caused by tire problems, among which tire blowout accounts for 70% of the total accidents caused by tire failures. Therefore, the owner must do a good job in vehicle inspection before going to high speed, especially pay attention to tire pressure and wear, and pay attention to whether there is aging crack phenomenon. At the same time, when driving at high speed, pay attention not to drive for a long time, otherwise the tire will rub and generate heat, resulting in the increase of air pressure. It is recommended that the vehicle be equipped with tire pressure gauge or air pump to reduce the risk of tire blowout and ensure driving safety.
When tired, stop and rest properly:
Fatigue driving will cause the driver's judgment ability to be abnormal and the reaction speed to be reduced, which will lead to accidents. When the driver is in slight fatigue, he / she will not shift in time and accurately; when the driver is in moderate fatigue, his / her operation is sluggish and sometimes even forgets to operate; when the driver is in severe fatigue, he / she will often operate subconsciously or sleep for a short time, and in serious cases, he / she will lose the ability to control the vehicle.
There are many factors that cause driver fatigue. Driver's own physical conditions, sleeping conditions, operation technology, vehicle conditions, road environment or driving time are too long, which will cause fatigue. As a driver, you should develop good living habits and driving habits, reasonably arrange the driving plan, and ensure that you have enough sleep. Each driving and time should not be too long. Especially at night, when driving for a long distance, people and cars should stop and rest properly.
Pay attention to keep a certain distance and try to avoid large vehicles:
The high-speed road is fast, so we must keep a certain distance to ensure safety. However, it is difficult to judge the distance with the front car by naked eyes. Therefore, every other section of the highway is equipped with a distance confirmation board to help the driver confirm the distance with the front car and adjust the distance. Generally speaking, it takes about 40-45m for a passenger car to start braking from 100km / h to stop completely, which does not include the pre judgment and reaction time of the driver. At a speed of 100 km / h, i.e. 27.8 meters per second, it is recommended to keep a safe distance of 200 meters for expressway safety, considering the pre judgment and response time.
In addition, try not to let the cart follow you when driving at high speed. Because of the large weight and inertia of the cart, it can't stop as the cart does. The brake discs of some long-distance trucks are overheated, which are very easy to break during emergency braking. So it's dangerous to keep them behind.
Do not occupy the emergency parking lane in non emergency situations:
The emergency parking lane is only allowed to stop in the emergency parking lane when the vehicle is waiting for rescue in case of an accident, because the emergency parking lane is also an emergency rescue lane. But if you occupy the emergency parking lane at will, once there is a traffic accident on the highway, it is likely that the ambulance and rescue vehicles will not arrive at the scene in time because you occupy the emergency parking lane. Remember that unless there is an emergency, i.e. the vehicle breaks down suddenly or the driver's body is not in good time, otherwise, never occupy the emergency parking lane.
Strictly prohibit speeding:
The harm of speeding is self-evident. The harm of illegal speeding mainly lies in the following three aspects: 1. Speeding affects the driver's vision. The driver's field of vision and dynamic vision will change with the change of vehicle speed. Speeding will narrow the driver's vision and weaken his vision, which makes it difficult to deal with the dangerous situation in front of him. 2. Overspeed extends the braking distance. The braking distance of the vehicle is mainly restricted by the speed. Because of inertia, the faster the vehicle speed is, the greater the braking distance is, thus increasing the possibility of accidents. 3. Overspeed affects vehicle operation stability. Especially in the bend, due to the effect of centrifugal force, the vehicle is easy to sideslip or tilt. Under the same conditions, the centrifugal force will increase 3 times when the vehicle speed is increased by 1 time. The excessive centrifugal force will easily cause the vehicle out of control and roll.
