Driving safety is an eternal topic, and those who have cars should take it seriously. Different driving habits will have different effects, some habits can improve driving safety, and some habits will make the life safety of drivers and occupants threatened. Today, let's talk about the topic of "whether driving slowly can really ensure safety".
1, the speed is too slow, but also in disguise "speeding"
If the owner observes carefully, it is not difficult to find the speed limit signs set up next to the road. Once you see the speed limit sign, then the owner needs to drive according to the speed specified on its sign, too low or too high is not enough.
Especially in the high-speed section, the speed of vehicles is faster, if there are car owners driving slowly, then it will obviously cause great inconvenience and affect the normal driving of surrounding vehicles. In addition, the owner's behavior of driving too slowly on the highway is also a violation.
2. The speed of the car is too slow, which aggravates the road congestion
The penetration of cars has increased significantly compared to before, and almost all households are now equipped with cars. This makes it impossible for cars to move on the road during rush hour.
In the case of very congested road conditions, if the owner is still driving slowly, he will receive an endless horn sound from the rear vehicle, which will further deepen the road congestion.
3. The speed is too slow, and the probability of rear-end collision is increased
Car rear-end collision is a common traffic accident. But common doesn't mean owners can ignore it. After all, for most car owners, the most natural thing they want is to drive smoothly and safely to their destination.
When the owner of the car is driving too slowly, the probability of rear-end accidents is significantly improved. Because the speed of other vehicles on the road is maintained within a relatively consistent range, when the rear car suddenly encounters a slow-moving front car, the rear car owner may not be able to respond in time for a while, missing the best time to slow down, and thus rear-end with the slow car.
4, the speed is too slow, will increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle
Some car owners will be keen to drive slow cars because they have listened to the idea that "driving slow cars can save fuel", in fact, driving slow cars not only can not play a fuel-saving effect, but will increase the fuel consumption of vehicles. If you are a car owner who is pursuing fuel saving, then you should drive as evenly as possible and reduce the number of lane changes.
5, the speed is too slow, the owner's attention is easy to distract
Driving on the road, the owner naturally needs to devote himself to it and focus all his attention on driving. However, when the speed is too slow, below 40km/h or caught in a slow traffic flow, the owner's attention will quickly decline. Decreased concentration is not a good thing, it will make it impossible for the owner to concentrate on driving, thus increasing the danger of driving.
In summary, driving slowly does not really guarantee driving safety. On the contrary, it will also bring a series of negative effects. If you have such a wrong driving habit, then you should correct it immediately and don't continue to be confused!
