It is easy to panic in the event of an emergency
So, be prepared not to step on the gas pedal when

This avoids using the throttle as a brake to a large extent
Reversing is a technical job
Even the old driver
When reversing
Also confirm that the surrounding environment is safe
otherwise
If you are not careful, it will lead to an accident tragedy
On September 13, 2021, when the truck driver Chen mou was reversing in the doorway of a furniture factory in Mozhi Village, Tangjiang Town, Nankang District, Ganzhou, he collided with an ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle (carrying Qiu X and Yuan X) driven by Yuan X.
At the time of the accident, none of the three occupants of the motorcycle were wearing safety helmets, resulting in injuries to varying degrees.
After investigation, it was determined that when the truck driver Chen Mou drove the vehicle to reverse, he did not detect the situation behind the car to confirm the safety of the car and reversed, which was the root cause of this accident.
Implementing Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China
Article 50:When a motor vehicle reverses, it shall check the situation behind the vehicle and reverse after confirming safety. Do not reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way streets, bridges, sharp bends, steep slopes or tunnels.
Seemingly ordinary reversing
In fact, the hidden risk is not small
▼
Vehicle blind spots, unskilled owner operation, mistaking the throttle as a brake... These seemingly "simple" factors are often the root cause of tragedies.
so
ask! title! come! finish!
Reversing has dead ends, and sloppiness is more deadly
Observe the surroundings with attention
Before preparing to reverse, pay attention to check the situation behind the car, if necessary, you can get off the car to view, prevent blind spots from seeing objects, and plan the reversing path. When reversing, pay attention to the left and right obstacles, and continue to observe the road conditions in the rearview mirror.
Observe the environment inside the car
Items that are easy to block the line of sight in the car should be removed, and at the same time, it is best to temporarily turn off the audio equipment in the car so that the sound outside the car can be heard in time. Open the window to view the rearview mirror during reversing.
Look ahead, too
If you do not pay attention to the front of the car, the two sides of the front of the car are likely to rub, when you fall to the left, you should pay attention to the right front, and pay attention to the left front when you reverse to the right.
Remind pedestrians to avoid
Reverse in crowded places, and if necessary, you can honk your horn in advance to remind pedestrians to pay attention to avoidance.
Always be ready to brake
When reversing, whether it is the rearview mirror or radar to warn of danger, brake immediately, if necessary, get out of the car to check.
If you are a novice driver
To avoid using the throttle as a brake
Keep these 6 pieces of advice in mind!
1. Get into the habit of putting your feet on the brakes
As long as the driver's right foot is not in the gas state, it is best to always be placed above the brakes and in a "warning" state. Once there is a situation, there is no need to make a judgment at all, just step on it. This way there will be no chance to use the throttle as a brake pedal and be able to press the brake down at the fastest speed in the first time.
2. Don't get too close to the steering wheel
Many times, drivers are accustomed to adjusting their seats closer to the steering wheel, thinking that this will make the line of sight better. But this is not right, in the event of an emergency, the closer distance makes the driver less space in front of the driver, reducing leg flexibility, so the distance between the seat and the steering wheel should be moderate.
3. After the engine engine, don't bend down to pick up things
Some drivers develop some bad driving habits, and some people will bend down to pick up dropped items after stopping before the engine is turned off.
At this time, the engine is not extinguished nor is it empty, if you bend down at this time, the soles of your feet have not left the throttle or the foot that was originally on the brakes touched the accelerator due to movement, perhaps the soles of the feet will move with the body to produce downward force, which will cause the vehicle to suddenly advance and cause an accident.
4. Learn more about vehicle construction and performance
Most novice drivers do not understand mechanical parts, plus many car owners do not look at the vehicle's information introduction, the performance and internal structure of the vehicle are not well understood, it is easy to look down to find air conditioning, audio and other buttons when distracting, ignoring the feet, wrong brakes as the accelerator, causing traffic accidents.
5. Drive without high heels
Driving in high heels is very dangerous! The heel raises the fulcrum of the foot, invisibly increasing the strength and angle of the brake pedal, and the driver needs to tiptoe to pedal hard to achieve the braking effect of normal pedaling.
In addition, wearing high heels to drive in an emergency, even if the driver wants to step on the brakes, it is likely that the heel of the high heels is stuck under the throttle, resulting in the more you want to press the brakes, but the more you want to step on the brakes, the greater the force on the foot to step on the accelerator.
6. Be wary of reversing left and right
In many throttle brake accidents, some of them occur during the driver reversing. Because when reversing, whether through the rearview mirror or looking back, for the driver will form a feeling of left and right upside down, very prone to accidents.
Therefore, in the process of reversing, the first principle that should be followed is that the soles of the feet must be "on standby" on the brakes when not stepping on the accelerator: when you are ready to reverse, the feet must first be on the brakes; before you start reversing, it is still the same.
in a word
When reversing
Be sure to observe in advance
Confirm safety before reversing
