Increased traffic flow, highway driving needs to pay attention!

At the end of the Spring Festival holiday, with the increase in the flow of traffic returning to work, the traffic management department, while strengthening road clearance and the management of serious traffic violations, reminded drivers to put safety in the first place when driving through the highway.

* Keep an eye on weather conditions along the way

The traffic management department reminds that when drivers drive back to Tianjin, they should understand and grasp the traffic conditions and weather forecast information along the way in advance before traveling, and reasonably plan the travel time and route. If you encounter bad weather such as rain, snow and fog during the driving, you should turn on the lights in time, reduce the speed, and control the distance with the car.

* Fatigue driving has huge hidden dangers

According to relevant research, if you sleep less than 4 hours a night, the probability of an accident is equivalent to the probability of an accident when the blood alcohol concentration is 1.5 times the legal limit. Drivers who sleep less than 4 hours are more than 15 times more likely to get into a traffic accident than drivers who sleep less than 7 hours. The traffic management department reminds that the eagerness to return to Tianjin is understandable, but the driver must not drive for more than 4 hours continuously, and the each stop and rest time should not be less than 20 minutes, and the service area should be adjusted and rested on the way to maintain a good mental state.

*Missing the exit requires "mistake is wrong"

In highway traffic, individual vehicle drivers forcibly change lanes when they are close to the exit, and even choose to reverse and reverse in order to save trouble after missing the exit, which is not only illegal but also very dangerous. The traffic management department reminds that if you miss the high-speed exit, you must make a mistake and continue to drive to the next exit and then drive away from the highway, although you have walked a little more, but this is the safest way to do it. Please plan the driving route in advance before driving, and pay attention to the traffic signs on the highway during the driving, and choose the appropriate driving lane in advance.

* Don't call on the highway when driving

In highway driving, if the driver is distracted while driving, when encountering an emergency or emergency, the driver's own reaction and ability to control the vehicle will decrease, and the probability of traffic accidents will increase. The traffic management department reminds that before driving, try to exclude factors that may adversely affect safe operations, avoid making and answering handheld phones during driving, and calmly deal with situations that have an impact on safe driving.
