When it came to the Spring Festival of another year, the epidemic in Xi'an had just been controlled, and there was another epidemic in Tianjin, Henan, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, and if you want to go home smoothly and safely for the New Year, choosing to drive is a good choice. However, there are still rain and snow in many parts of the country, so what should everyone pay attention to on the road, I will tell you today.
Route planning
What a joke, the way home I don't know. However, in fact, many old drivers have been thrown on the road because of this step. When you go out, you still have to get used to checking the route before you leave, select alternative routes, in case of traffic jams, or some sections of the road will be closed due to heavy snow weather, you can change the route in time. In addition to the route, it is also necessary to find the service area along the way, and only the service area rests in time according to the length of the journey to avoid fatigue driving. In addition, if you drive an electric car home, then it is more necessary to plan the route in advance, find high-speed available charging piles, and supplement the battery life in time.
Rain and snow weather driving steady, uniform, slow
In this bad weather, starting, braking, turning, must be relatively soft, especially in the compacted snow or iced corners, do not give oil in the bend, judge the corner in advance, brake a few hundred meters before the bend, reduce the speed to the safe speed after the gentle turn, do not turn sharply, do not have to be too afraid to turn.
The road surface adhesion becomes worse, the general direction pedal is relaxed, if the line of sight becomes worse, turn on the fog lights, reduce parallel overtaking and some sloppy operations. For harsh climate driving, the most important thing is not to be quick-witted, but to have sufficient predictive ability and objective cognition of harsh weather.
Check the vehicle
Checking the vehicle is a compulsory course for everyone before running a long distance, the first is to judge the condition of the car, if the vehicle is normal, then we need to check the tires, various types of oil, and accessories with the car. The only thing that the car has contact with the ground is the tire, and once the tire has a problem, there will inevitably be an accident, so its state is crucial for driving safety. First, we have to decide if the tire needs to be changed. Generally, 4 years or about 80,000 kilometers of tires have reached the service life, and it is best to replace them.
If it is not old, then it is also necessary to check the condition of the tire, observe the depth of the tire pattern and the aging degree of the tire rubber. The tire pattern is worn to the limit mark or the tire rubber has a lot of small cracks, then the tire needs to be replaced. At the same time, the tire tire pressure also needs to be measured, the vehicle itself has a tire pressure monitoring configuration to directly observe the tire pressure status, if not, you may wish to prepare a tire pressure meter, according to the manufacturer's instructions to view the range of tire pressure value. In addition, although it is now spring, there is still snow in some northern cities on the mainland, and if necessary, snow tires are also for the sake of safe travel.
In addition to the tires, all kinds of liquids in the car also need to be checked. Including oil, glass water, antifreeze level check. Generally speaking, pull out the oil gauge, wipe it back with a clean cloth or paper towel and then pull it out to check the position of the oil surface. If the oil surface is between the upper and lower limits of the oil gauge, the amount of oil is normal. In addition, if the oil color appears dark brown and accompanied by impurities, it means that the oil also needs to be replaced. Glass water, antifreeze generally also need to be replenished in time, especially if you want to go to cold areas, it is recommended that you choose low temperature resistant winter glass water to prevent ice.
Finally, all kinds of accessories must be brought, and some emergency products must be prepared for long-distance travel. Emergency tools such as emergency trailer ropes, battery connection lines, fire extinguishers, tire pressure meters, warning signs and other emergency tools need to be brought with the car, and check whether the vehicle license plate is defaced before departure, and whether the vehicle windshield is affixed with annual inspection labels. At the same time, check whether the vehicle insurance procedures are complete, whether the driver's license and driving book are complete, so as not to affect the determination of liability in the event of a traffic accident. At the same time, it is also necessary to prepare some emergency medicines such as cold medicines and band-aids, drinking water and food
Away from big cars
I believe that most drivers have a deep understanding of this point, but Xiaobian still has to say more, away from the big car. If you have the opportunity, you can sit on the big truck and take a look, the truck driver has a high seat, the driver's left view is acceptable, but the right view is almost completely blocked by the right door. If a car and a truck go hand in hand, if the car is on the left side of the truck, the truck driver's afterglow may see the car; if the car is on the right side of the truck, the truck driver can't see the car at all.
In addition to the extremely poor field of vision, the domestic truck overload phenomenon is serious, the body failure rate is high and the failure will not necessarily be repaired in time, if it encounters continuous downhill, the brake system is very prone to accidents after overheating. In addition, the cargo on the truck is easy to fall and hit other vehicles in the event of an accident, and the truck tires are very wide, which is also easy to bring up the stones on the road when driving at high speeds, which will also make the rear car suffer. In summary, on the highway home for the New Year, you can drive as far as you can from the truck, and when overtaking, you should also see the opportunity to quickly exceed, do not run parallel with the truck.
Stay away from electric cars
The electric vehicle mentioned here is not an electric vehicle, but a variety of low-speed electric vehicles and old scooters. There are strict traffic regulations as a constraint, the vast majority of cars on the road is still very disciplined, but this type of electric vehicle basically belongs to the blind spot of management, they can be driven in the bicycle lane, can also drive on the motor road, and even on the sidewalk, including like retrograde, sudden lane change and other behaviors are also happening from time to time. For drivers, try to keep a distance from these electric vehicles on the road, especially pay attention to whether there are electric vehicles driving behind them when opening the door.
Don't miss the exit
Nowadays, there are more and more highway exits, various overpasses are becoming more and more complicated, drivers are not familiar with the road conditions are easy to miss the exit, so you must pay attention to changing lanes in advance and slowing down through forks. Highways will be at a certain distance from the exit of the road signs, in addition, today's navigation is also quite smart, we still have to use these tools flexibly, in advance to prepare to leave the highway. Even if you miss the exit and prefer to go out again at the next exit, don't grab the road or even reverse on the highway, knowing that a collision occurs at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, and the consequences may be fatal.
Pay attention to the weather
Winter weather conditions are more complicated, especially in the northern regions are more prone to snow, road ice and other situations. Everyone should check the weather in advance before traveling, in the case of bad road conditions, the speed will be within a safe range, lengthen the distance, in case of extreme weather, it is still recommended that you get out of the highway nearby, and then go on the road when the weather turns better.
Stay away from your phone
Driving to see the mobile phone is actually a cliché problem, in today's intelligent era, mobile phones are almost inseparable from us, but absolutely do not play mobile phones when driving. To make a simple calculation for everyone, when the vehicle is driving at a speed of 70km/h on the provincial road or the country road, looking down at the mobile phone for 3 seconds, it is equivalent to blind driving 60 meters, if it is at a speed of 120km/h on the high speed, the result is blind driving 100 meters, in this case it is very likely that traffic accidents may occur. If you really want to check your phone, you still have to park your car on the side of the road or in the emergency lane before operating.
In fact, whether it is going home for the New Year or driving usually, the points mentioned above are the main points that can improve driving safety, and I hope that everyone will abide by the traffic rules and be cautious when driving. Finally, I wish you all a safe and secure home and a happy New Year.
