Braking without stepping on the accelerator is the most common driving habit of old drivers. Such habits are effective in preventing the throttle from braking incorrectly. There are many more such driving habits, such as "let the right principle, do not speed, be careful of ghost detectors" and so on. Here, I would like to share the driving experience of the old driver in the past 15 years. Although the content is very long, it is all practical dry goods, and I hope it will be helpful to the riders.
Experience one, step on the brakes, obliquely step on the throttle throttle to brake, and eventually lead to major accidents, light small collisions, heavy people on the car, this situation is countless, but looking back at the reason, generally are brakes, why? Let me analyze it briefly. I'm used to putting my right foot on the throttle. This is a mistake that many people make. In our daily driving, we use our right foot to press the accelerator the most often, so the frequency of braking is relatively less frequent. Many beginners get a driver's license and start driving, because the picture is convenient and convenient, so it is customary to put your right foot on the accelerator. This habit is much more dangerous. In addition, some owners are accustomed to putting their right foot freely. When there is no need to press the accelerator and brakes, the feet are opened directly to the ground and pedal side. The most incomprehensible thing is that women drive in high heels. Although you can't drive in high heels from driving school and daily driving, some people don't believe that wearing high heels can also operate the same way, and if you don't have too much confidence, you won't care about this.
These are all causes of the throttle misoperation of the brakes, but to maximize the prevention of the throttle misoperation of the brakes is to develop good driving habits. Through the so-called "habit", the conditioned reflex gradually occurs, and the brakes can be quickly and accurately stepped on in the panic. First of all, we need to adjust the seat when we get on the bus. Seats cannot be too front or too back. The hand is holding the steering wheel at 12 o'clock, and the wrist is still a little bent. Also, try your left and right feet to see if the right foot brake can be easily stepped on to the end, so that the right foot brake is too close to the back foot and can't finish the brake. In short, test first, everything works fine. That seat can be changed. If it is a manual car, when not stepping on the clutch, the left foot is always temporarily placed on the clutch pedal, but if it is a right foot, the manual and automaton are the same. Let the foot heel the ground, close to the brake pedal side. When you need to step on the accelerator, do not move your heels, tilt the soles of your feet to the right to step on the throttle, and when you do not need to step on the throttle, be sure to put the soles of your feet back on the brake pedal and place them temporarily.
When driving, the right heel is always moving, maintaining a landing position. As the driving time slowly becomes longer, "muscle memory" is formed. This is a pre-memorized behavior in our brain, just like a mobile phone. The browser saves the cache, the next time you can quickly open, do not take a lot of time to load, in case of emergency, do not have to step on the brakes at the first time, do not worry about the throttle. Of course, the habit of driving a long distance, with the heels of the feet on the ground, and the soles of the feet on the brakes can lead to the fatigue of the right foot. There is, but on a road in good condition, it is necessary to relax the right foot in time. Driving habits may vary from person to person, but the most important thing is not to make mistakes in an emergency. It's a good habit. The driving habit of not stepping on the accelerator and putting it on the brake can be said to be a routine operation for most drivers, but both the driving school instructor and the old driver who actually drives it unanimously agrees with this approach.
Experience two, be careful of the "ghost detector" in the normal driving, pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, animals, etc. suddenly appear from the front of the car, this kind of emergency is always unable to prevent the driver, this situation often occurs, we can not ask each other, that can only improve their own autonomous defense capabilities. In general, this situation mostly occurs on urban roads. For example, the left side is a green belt, and crossing the green belt is the more common "ghost detector". The green belt obscured the driver's view, and it was not known when and where someone suddenly came out. At this time, be sure to slow down and slow down. Similarly, at the intersection of the traffic lights, when the green light is on, if there are vehicles on the left and right blocking the view on both sides of yourself, do not step on the accelerator and rush in. Make it a habit to glance left and right, then set off slowly, waiting for the left and right vehicles to confirm safety before accelerating on their own. For example, on traffic-ridden roads, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles always cross traffic when walking or stopping. They think the owner can see him and trust the owner too much. In this case, it is still slow to slow down, often observing the environment before and after the left and right. In addition, when turning left and right, although pedestrians and cars do not understand the intention of the car, the driver may not pay attention and meet with the other party when turning. Especially at the bus stop, some people cross the road quickly in order to take the bus, so special attention is needed.
Experience 3, "pre-judgment" is very important in driving, the old driver has better prejudgment ability, can avoid many unexpected unexpected situations. For example, at a traffic light intersection, when there are 2-3 seconds left at the green light, there is a car in front of you. Even if we see him speeding up and seeming to pass through the intersection quickly, at this time we also need to slow down ourselves and brake often. Usually, the green light has 2 seconds left, you can pass normally, but the most terrible thing is that the car in front of you looks to accelerate through, to the crosswalk, see it turning into a yellow light, or someone crossing the road, politely let the pedestrian, he will soon leave the explanation, if you go at home speed, it will have a high chance of rear-end collision, full responsibility, so in this case, keep the distance, slow down and drive slowly In addition, on the ordinary straight road, if you see the car in front of you suddenly brake, and keep braking, It is necessary to slow down appropriately and slow down immediately. If you see a car in front of you suddenly give off turn signals or change direction, there is an obstacle, traffic jam or accident in front of you. At this point, immediately slow down to observe avoidance. Lesson 4: Mastering the "Principle of Giving Way"
Maybe some beginners can't fully understand the principle on the right, but it's actually quite simple. Mainly at intersections without traffic lights, first observe the vehicles on the opposite lane on your right side, whether it is going straight or turning right, remember to pass first. The "right turn principle" is mainly the principle of prioritizing the protection of the driver. As shown in the figure above, if you are a blue car b, first observe whether there is a vehicle on your right lane and find that there is a vehicle C. Due to the large dead angle on the left side of the driver of the C car, especially in driving, it is possible that the car in the left lane may not be able to be initially observed. In addition, since the front of the b car is facing the driver's seat of the C car, out of the principle of safety priority, the b car owner has priority in passing the c car owner in any case. Similarly, the red car a will give way to the right car b, and so on. Assuming that there is no signal, in the case of a collision between the b owner and the c owner during the driving, no matter where the collision is, it is the main responsibility of the b owner, and it is also the full responsibility.
Lesson five, remember to "slow down, don't give way" this is also a common thing in daily driving. For example, suppose you're on a three-lane highway, driving yourself in the middle lane, and suddenly squeezing in from the left lane. I'm afraid most novice drivers react instinctively and immediately decide to their right side in an attempt to avoid him. In fact, if you do this, in an emergency, if you don't notice that the car is coming from the right side of your back and there is a collision, it is your own full responsibility, is it not legitimate? However, it is not wronged at all. In this case, if you are not in a hurry, not in a hurry, slow down, and can confirm the safety of your right side, you can urgently avoid to the right, but in general, you can slow down yourself. Running normally, not changing direction, not giving way, unfortunately colliding, even if it looks like they are rear-ended, is actually the entire responsibility of the other party.
Lesson six, drive not to become "indecisive" driving, see the front car is very slow, want to overtake, but there is a lot of traffic. At this time, beginners have the most headaches. You can't always overtake and change lanes, and a lot of collisions happen as a result. In this case, it must be remembered that "fast, stable, accurate". Start by turning on the orientation light to confirm safety in the rear left. Don't rush into the left lane at once. It is customary to first bring the front of the car close to the edge of the lane, then quickly confirm the rear to ensure safety, and immediately accelerate into the left lane. If you have a car and cannot confirm whether the distance is safe, please do not overtake at this time. Do not cross the line at the front of the car. Drive along the lane zoning line first, wait for the follow-up vehicle to pass, follow the front of the car, immediately cut into the 1/3 lane, confirm safety, normal parallel track. When overtaking, the most annoying thing is that the front of the car comes in, slows down, or returns again, and hesitates before and after entering the overtaking lane will cause the owner of the left rear and right rear to be unable to accurately judge your driving intentions, resulting in the wrong car accident.
Experience seven, left turn big turn, right turn small turn first, the driver's left side of the dead angle is larger, left turn, due to the larger dead angle, the right side of the line of sight is wider. In the range of the induction line, as close as possible to the right side, to avoid collisions with vehicles and pedestrians on the left, etc., on the other hand, when we turn left into the straight lane, through a sharp turn can avoid collisions with vehicles waiting in the straight lane, you can also avoid being pressed on the left side of the straight lane when turning right when the right side of the view is wide, after turning the car can also drive on the right side, politely give way to pedestrians. Therefore, it is safer to turn right and turn left. Similarly, turning right and turning left can also avoid collisions with vehicles turning left in the opposite lane. Experienced people, talk too much. Please stay away from large trucks First of all, heavy trucks have large dead ends and lack of flexibility in braking and avoidance. If a car is driving behind a large truck, most of the large trucks cannot be seen. Why are heavy trucks pushing cars backwards and can't understand, in dead ends, completely invisible? In fact, there are certain dangers in the rear of heavy trucks, between two heavy trucks, and driving in the same direction. Heavy trucks may not be able to see themselves, heavy trucks may have drops on them, and behavior such as heavy truck lane changes is dangerous for cars. When driving normally, try to drive in the left or center lane, not in the right lane. It is impossible to avoid heavy trucks for a short time. Also, be sure to maintain a safe distance from large trucks.
Writing at the end of the day that driving regularly not only develops good driving habits, but also the mood is important. Always control your emotions, control the anger of the road, do not drive a "fighting car, hero car", rather stop for 3 minutes than grab 1 second, drive very fast, maybe at the next traffic light, or need to stop and wait. No matter how fast it is driven, the technology is not very good. Remember, only a long drive is truly tech-savvy.
