Many people say that they can drive, but in fact, the probability of road traffic accidents is not low. The picture below is a picture of a traffic accident that occurred in Jieyang, Guangdong Province, a few days ago. The female driver of the black car passed through the alley, mistook the throttle as a brake, injured two pedestrians, and knocked down a pair of mother and son riding motorcycles.
Fortunately, the child who was crushed under the motorcycle was only frightened, and the child's mother was slightly injured. As you can see from the pictures at the scene, almost half of the black car's body rushed up the roadside steps. Cases like this kind of driving out of control are often reported online. So since she can drive, why does the female driver mistakenly use the throttle as a brake, and the car is out of control?
Most of the reasons for the analysis are that drivers have not developed good driving habits in the beginner stage. Some people are lazy when driving under their feet, always thinking that the distance is still far enough, and it is too late to step on the brakes. But this is not the case, you judge the distance far enough, but ignore that you are not walking on foot, but the speed of the car.
When Coach Shi takes novice trainees to practice, he will deliberately preset a distance for students to feel that this distance that seems to be enough to avoid is actually less than two seconds away.
Think about what you can do in two seconds? It's not enough time to move your foot from the throttle to the brake, so that's why many novice drivers use the throttle as a brake. If you want to avoid the throttle when braking, when training, the first requirement is to see far enough, do not aim at the lane line to drive, or stare at the ground in front of the front of the car, so that the driver has a narrow field of vision, always passively respond to emergencies, sooner or later there will be accidents.
On the contrary, the driver has a wide field of vision, whether it is the dynamics of the pedestrians or vehicles in front of them, they can see it more calmly.
The second requirement is that you can't be lazy under your feet, and you must switch the throttle and brake in time. For example, if you find that a pedestrian is about to cross the road, the brake light of the front car deceleration brake is on, and you must move your foot to the brake at the first time to do a defensive action. As the distance gets closer, decrease the speed layer by layer until you finally slow down on the brakes.
Following the above method will not feel rushed, and you will not mistake the throttle for brakes because of nervousness. Therefore, not only should the field of vision be broadened, but also the ability to react quickly under the feet should be trained.
When I take the novice driver to the first lesson, I often have a pedestrian crossing the road in front of me virtually, or the scene of the car slowing down in front of me, training the student's rapid reaction ability, forming a muscle memory after repeated times, and then seeing a situation in front of me later, I will instinctively move my foot to the brake, to avoid the wrong throttle as the brake to the greatest extent.
Like the female driver in Figure 1 above, why did she drive up the roadside rocks? Because when she finds that there is a cyclist in front of her, the throttle under tension will be braked, the speed will become faster and faster, and under the tension, she will instinctively hit the direction to avoid, and the phenomenon of driving out of control will occur.
Therefore, in addition to seeing far away from the eyes, there is a depth under the feet and switching in time, it is also necessary to train novice drivers to control the direction and avoid rushing to the direction. When these three are stabilized, the driving safety factor is greatly improved.
Coach Shi often told the students that they could not go a thousand miles without accumulating steps. Seemingly subtle movements, after forming a habit, the key moment will play a role.
Well, today's topic is here, welcome to continue to pay attention to Coach Shi talking about driving, I will share more driving experience and car maintenance knowledge with you.
