Driving level can be roughly divided into four levels, some people have driven a car for a lifetime, decades of driving experience, perhaps only junior, while some people have a higher talent ratio, there are three or two years, you can reach the intermediate and advanced level.
None of us are stunt performers, we don't have to fly over the Great Wall, we don't have to fly over the Yellow River, we're not racing drivers, we're chasing extreme laps, ditch bends. Driving is just a very basic skill now, we look at the driving level by the standard of life skills, can not be as "fast" as the racing driver, nor can it be more "dazzling" than the stunt driver, can only seek a stable word. If you are interested, everyone will take a seat and see if you are stable enough.
Beginner Realm:
The primary definition here means that you can drive a car, operate without errors, and know all the functions of your vehicle. This requirement seems simple, but in fact - many drivers who are more than ten years old cannot meet it.
Old drivers don't be convinced, many people have driven a lifetime of cars, you now let him take a subject one, he may not be able to pass, this kind of people are not in the minority! In the past, the management of driving tests was not strict, and many old drivers, in fact, did not go through professional learning, but relied on experience, relying on older drivers to teach by example - there is valuable experience, but there are also some bad habits passed down.
Let me give you a simple example, and you will understand. Manual transmission, is it first off the brake or first brake and then off? In fact, it is a very basic thing, but many old drivers are wrong. Brake first and leave later! Many people say that the speed is fast first brake and then away, and the slow speed is first left and then braked - it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but it is actually an empirical error. We have to slow down, and the oil deceleration is not enough, at this time we need to step on the brakes, if the number of brake engine revolutions is lower than the idle speed will lead to stall, then you need to step on the clutch. Even if the speed is slow, the principle is to brake first and then leave, and stepping down together is equivalent to braking first and then leaving, with an interval of zero seconds.
For example, how many people hang up the neutral gear when turning? Maybe you have no problem doing this for 30 years, but from a theoretical point of view, this operation is wrong! For example, when turning, a large car that is out of control laterally, you need to accelerate and dodge, the neutral gear needs at least a hanging action, if you are inexperienced, first give a foot of empty oil, and then remember that it is also possible to not hang up the gear. The correct operation is to decelerate in advance, low-gear cornering, at this time you need to accelerate to dodge, a foot of floor oil on the line. You have been driving for 30 years and have been in neutral gears, and the reason why you have not encountered such an extreme situation does not mean that your operation is correct.
Can drive, will stop, can cleanly overtake, understand the ultimate performance of their vehicles and braking distance, clearly judge the wheel, body position. Not a particularly extreme parking space, parked in and out, randomly parked in the community, a head into their own can pour out. In addition, it is important to note that in addition to illegal parking, it is basically not illegal. Driving in this way is considered to be an entry point, which is considered to be a beginner level.
Now the vehicles on the road, the drivers can reach less than half of the beginners!
Intermediate Realm:
Intermediate is more experience than beginner.
The experience mentioned here is the experience of all weather, all road conditions. You have been driving for 30 years, 30 years are home to work, two points and one line, and they are all morning and evening peaks, even the highway has not been on, that is not called an old driver, nor is it experienced.
Have you ever encountered a rainstorm on the highway? Know why it's most dangerous to cross the bridge in winter? Have you ever driven through snow and ice? How is it safest to operate fog with visibility of less than 10 meters? Has the winding road been driven? Has the winding road been driven on a rainy day? How to operate the 30 km long downhill? How to save myself if the brakes fail?
Let's talk about the answer simply, the visibility is low on a rainy day, the fog lights are better than the double flashing effect, pay attention to the water film, pay attention to the resistance of the water, and the one-sided wheel crunching water wheel will run off (someone grabs your steering wheel feeling). The danger of crossing the bridge in winter is because the bridge deck is suspended, the snow is not easy to melt, and it will be very slippery. On foggy days, it is best to follow the car, and the road cannot be seen clearly, but it is easy to distinguish the front tail lights. There is no car to follow, then turn on the music, the maximum volume, open the window, through navigation and positioning, with sound, horn to declare their existence. On snowy days, you can not drive without driving, four-wheel drive is not as good as snow tires, snow tires are not as good as snow chains.
Winding mountain road and long downhill, engine braking is very critical, rainy days do not have to worry about heat attenuation, but the braking distance becomes longer, more careful control of speed. If the brakes really fail, press the double flash horn to remind the people on the car to prepare (in the event of a collision, the degree of injury is worlds apart from the preparation and the degree of injury), and at the same time, it will grab the gear, combine the handbrake to stabilize the vehicle, and if not, use the side of the car to rub the isolation belt...
These experiences, you can't remember, many things still need to be experienced.
Third, the advanced realm:
If the intermediate level is familiar, then the advanced level should be stable, and it is the unity of people and vehicles. This is not easy to describe, let's illustrate.
Once I participated in the riders' club activity, everyone had the same car, the same road conditions, the same speed, lined up in a convoy, set off at the same time, and arrived at the same time, as a result, I showed 8.2 oils in 100 kilometers, and 11 buddies in front of me and 9.8 in the back. The same speed, the same road conditions, where is the fuel consumption difference? In fact, it is a few feet of brakes. Driving fuel saving is secondary, in fact, in the final analysis, it does not save a few dollars, but less on the brakes, indicating that the line of sight is far enough, the prediction is accurate enough, and the prediction is the first factor to avoid danger! Real old drivers don't wait until danger comes to react, they have made a more secure choice 5 seconds ago, making the danger invisible.
For example, when driving at high speed, old drivers can look at the six roads and listen to the eight directions, know how many cars are in front of and behind, how fast they are, and even judge where they will appear after three seconds. Which cars pose a potential threat to us?
Generally, taxi drivers who often run the airport have a good driving skill, and the evaluation in the circle is called "fast wheel", which means clean and clean, and it is also fast. The same single job, from the airport to the train station, the average person drives 40 minutes, and these "fast wheels" have 25 minutes is enough. However, these taxi drivers, one of them is not high-level, barely able to count as a beginner - driving is all faulty, not obeying traffic rules, speeding, looking down at the phone, driving on the phone... It's just that the road is too familiar, and the location of each camera is clear. In fact, strictly speaking, these drivers are not even qualified for the primary level. They do have the technology to turn the tide of life in the case of speeding, but they are far worse than the real old drivers!
In addition, at this level, basically have the ability to perceive danger. I often watch videos of traffic accidents, and watching these accident videos, I can most likely determine where the danger comes from, and most of the situations know how to avoid it. This should also be a compulsory course for old drivers.
Ultimate Realm:
Advanced is already impeccable at the technical level, and compared to the ultimate, the difference is the mentality.
If you really want to talk about driving skills, excluding racing drivers and stuntmen, I know, the best technology is a group of porcelain touchers. The technology of these people is really impeccable, the fourth ring road is specially looking for boxes of seafood, in order to have a chance to follow all the way, hidden in the blind area behind the truck, as long as you are parallel, he can react in an instant, in advance of the lane you are going to, the whole vehicle into the line, and then stuck in your press line when you press the line. And it is not a big accident, a small scratch outside the skin, and even many times the driver does not know that an accident has occurred.
These people are not afraid to call the police when they touch the porcelain, and even take the initiative to call the police, often the truck drivers are begging for privacy. After all, a car of seafood, delayed for a long time, seafood died more than worth the loss. The whole process of touching porcelain can be said to be impeccable, there is no violation, there is no speeding, and the traffic police have to say that the truck is fully responsible. This group of people has never lost their hands in this game, and later they were arrested because of fraud.
When it comes to technology, these porcelain people are definitely ceiling-level, but they are not the ultimate, because the ultimate meaning of driving is peace and stability, not showmanship, or what is obtained through technology. We all know what kind of mentality should be when driving – be at peace, be in awe, be careful. However, it is one thing to be able to do it for a day, and it is another realm to be able to do it for a lifetime.
Finally, we return to the question itself, how to see how high or low a person's driving level is? The primary realm looks at the operation, the intermediate realm looks at the experience, the advanced realm predicts, and as for the ultimate, you can see what kind of person he is. The car can drive to the ultimate realm, and people can't be wrong.
