Often walk by the river, which can not get wet shoes, even if you drive carefully, there may be unexpected situations. So we must not only learn the technology of driving, but also learn how to deal with unexpected situations. In the unlikely event that the vehicle gets out of control during the driving process, you can also choose the best emergency plan to reduce the damage to yourself.
Braking is a very important part of every car, it is the most important presence in the vehicle braking system, and it is an important part of ensuring vehicle safety during driving. If the car suddenly fails at high speed, hitting a tree or hitting a wall can make the vehicle stop quickly. But which of the trees or walls loses less?
Some people feel that the damage from hitting a tree is even smaller. A few trees are usually planted in the green belt on the side of the road, and there will be a row of trees on the road side of the village. If the vehicle suddenly loses control and you can't slow down in time, choosing an open area to crash can not only stop the car in time, but also avoid the impact on other pedestrians and vehicles. If you choose to hit the wall, in case the wall is not strong enough, knocking down other people's houses may also cause unnecessary casualties.
Some people also feel that hitting the wall is the best choice. Compared with hitting a tree, when hitting a wall, the area of direct contact between the vehicle and the wall is larger, the kinetic energy reduction speed is fast, the body deformation is small, and the damage to the personnel in the car is also smaller.
There is a test data in the United States that proves that in the case of the same quality and the same speed of the car, the larger the force area, the smaller the degree of damage to the vehicle. In this test, they conducted a 25 percent frontal crash test and a 40 percent frontal crash test on the 10 SUVs they procured. The final comparison results showed that 25% of head-on collisions caused the greatest damage to the body and the people inside the car.
By comparison, hitting a wall hurts less than hitting a tree. However, in the case of choice, it is best not to choose a frontal impact, after the brake failure can try to use the body to scratch the wall, with the help of friction between the wall and the car to reduce the speed. If the conditions are not met, then choose a frontal impact.
So when the brakes fail, what are the ways to reduce the speed?
If you are driving a manual transmission car and the brakes fail, you can slow down the speed by forcibly downshifting, or force the vehicle to stop by pulling the handbrake. But remember not to slam the steering wheel. In the state of high-speed driving of the vehicle, it is very dangerous to hit the steering wheel, not only may its own car overturn, but also may affect the normal driving of other vehicles.
If you are driving an automatic transmission car, you cannot brake it by handbrake. The electronic handbrake can be pulled up and held for a few seconds. At this time, the driving computer will activate the handbrake function, and the vehicle can stop.
Editor's Short Comment:
It is common to encounter unexpected situations when driving, we must keep a cool head, do not panic when encountering a situation, people are easy to make wrong operations in a panicked state. Driving is also a process of accumulating experience, you can learn more ways to deal with unexpected situations, and key moments may be able to help you overcome dangers and avoid injuries.
