The Spring Festival is coming, and it is time for the workers to return to their hometowns for reunion. Rich and no money, go home for the New Year, I believe that many small partners are already in a state of being in another country and having a heart in their hometown. Speaking of the Spring Festival, we have to mention the annual great migration - the Spring Festival. The epidemic has rebounded, a ticket is difficult to find, and more and more people choose to drive home. So, today I will talk to you about what you need to pay attention to in long-distance self-driving.
Check the vehicle before departure
As a means of transportation home, the reliability of the vehicle is crucial. In ancient times, horse-drawn carriages were used to run long distances, and before leaving, horses were fed to check whether all aspects of the carriage were good. The same is true for driving now, where the vehicles must be carefully inspected before we set off. For example, tire pressure, engine status, coolant, glass water, engine oil is sufficient, lighting, wipers are not good to use, etc., must be checked in advance, if there is an abnormality as soon as possible to eliminate, otherwise go to the halfway and then find the problem will be very troublesome, and delay time. Also, spare tires and kits should be complete, just in case.
Prepare plenty of food
For people who are not very far from home, the time it takes to drive home is not very long, and appropriate rations can be prepared. But for small partners who are often one or two thousand kilometers, be sure to prepare enough food. Many people may say that there is a service area halfway where it is convenient to eat, and there is no need to bring food at all. The epidemic has rebounded, and it is safer to move around the service area as little as possible and bring enough food to eat in the car.
In addition, during the peak period of the return trip at the end of the year, all the way to the sea of cars, occasionally encounter traffic jams, the congestion is not serious, it is okay, it is possible to park in place for several hours if it is seriously blocked, and there is no shop before and after the village, which is really maddening, so it is very necessary to prepare enough food.
Set up your navigation in advance
Choose the best route and set up your navigation before you go. Many people only set up navigation after departure, if there are companions can also help set up, if you are alone, the vehicle is operating in the driving, very unsafe. Also, be sure to see if the route is correct when setting up your navigation. There is an example around the author, there is a small partner who opened most of the day is not on the highway, it turned out that he forgot to close the "do not take the high speed" option before setting the navigation, directly opened the navigation, he did not pay attention, resulting in a lot of "detours".
Refuse to drive fatigue
Go home for the New Year, and your heart is like an arrow. Many people grit their teeth and drive for a long time in order to get home early, which is not advisable. The feeling of going home is understandable, but it is more important to get home safely. If there is a deputy to help, two people can take turns to replace the driver, if it is a person, do not exceed 4 hours at a time, or less than 4 hours feel a little tired, go to the nearest service area to rest. Go home safely and have a happy New Year.
Pay attention to the fuel gauge pointers and gas stations
At present, the density of gas stations across the country is very high, and you don't have to worry about replenishing energy when driving home. However, it is precisely because of the convenience, many people will be careless about the amount of oil problem, feel that the pointer has not insisted on running to the next gas station, the result is bad luck, the next gas station is far away, halfway can not turn around, running halfway without oil is very troublesome. Therefore, long-distance self-driving must pay attention to the position of the fuel gauge pointer and the gas station, try to pay attention to the distance of the gas station when it is lower than half a tank of fuel, and replenish fuel in time.
How to deal with unexpected situations
On the way to long-distance self-driving, there are also occasional emergencies, such as extreme weather such as heavy snow and fog, or punctures. In heavy snow weather, the road surface is slippery and very dangerous, and at this time we must reduce the speed of the car to ensure safety. If the snowfall is too large and there is snow on the road, you need to find a service area to park and put on the snow chain to drive slowly.
In addition, when encountering foggy weather or breaking into fog, keep calm, turn on the front and back fog lights and double flashing. If the rear car is too close, you can tap the brakes a few times, and the brake lights will light up to prompt the rear car to pay attention.
Also, in case the vehicle suddenly bursts on the high speed, this time can not be sharp braking, should slowly decelerate, both hands grip the steering wheel, and turn in the opposite direction of the flat tire, so that the vehicle as far as possible to maintain a straight line, into the emergency stop belt. Then set up a warning sign 200m behind the car, evacuate the passengers on the highway, contact the trailer or hurry to change the spare tire.
Try to drive during the day
If conditions permit, try to rush during the day, because the safety of driving at night is significantly lower than that of daytime. Driving at night, especially on the highway, except for the tunnel and service area, there are almost no street lights in other sections, and the field of view is narrow, so driving in such a section of the road is more important to play a twelve-point spirit. In addition, driving at night is easy to fatigue, slower reaction, driving in this state is very dangerous.
So try to drive during the day, if you need to drive at night, be sure to stay awake, improve your concentration, and find a service area to rest if you are slightly tired to ensure the safety of driving at night.
At last:
For many old drivers who often drive long distances, long-distance self-driving experience does not need to be said, but for small partners who have just bought a new car or have not run several long distances, it is very necessary to do homework in advance. Remember before seeing a person on the Internet, the high beam does not know how to play, can only one hand to pull the lever to maintain the high beam, so that driving can not be tired? Therefore, before driving, you must also know how to use each function of the vehicle.
Drive safely and safely, go home happily, and hope that every netizen can arrive home safely and celebrate the Spring Festival!
