Let's talk about how to reduce the hidden dangers posed by driving blind spots.
What is a driving blind spot
Driving blind zone refers to the area that we can't see when we drive, and to put it all, it is the part of the area where we are located in the normal driving seat, and the line of sight is blocked by the car body and cannot be directly observed.
Ji friends should all have a deep understanding of the blind spot of the car, when we start, turn, change lanes, reverse the car will cause different directions of the blind spot.
What are the driving blind spots?
01
A-column blind spot
This is a common car blind spot in the driving process, often formed when the car turns or merges, A pillar will block part of the driver's line of sight, which may make the driver unable to find obstacles or pedestrians on the road in time, and its potential danger is very easy to lead to traffic accidents.
For example, when waiting for a red light, especially when the light is about to change, it may suddenly "flash" the traveler, and he wants to take advantage of the zui to run over a few seconds later, thinking that you will give way. Actually, you may not have seen him at all.
02
Front/rear blind spots
Affected by the front engine compartment, rear trunk, and driver's height, after sitting in the driver's seat, a large blind area of vision will be formed in front of and behind the vehicle. It is difficult to spot low children or obstacles that appear in front of and behind the vehicle.
We have seen on the Internet that many children squatting down to play by the side of the car and being crushed are mostly caused by the driver not observing the situation in front of and behind the car in advance.
03
Rearview mirror blind spot
The blind spot of the rearview mirror, also known as the blind area of lane change, refers to the area behind the car, on the side, beyond the reflection range of the rearview mirror, which mostly occurs when changing lanes and turning.
Current rearview mirrors are generally reflectors, not wide-angle lenses. When steering or changing lanes, if the angle is too large, the left and right rearview mirrors may not be able to see the incoming car in the target lane. In addition, if too many items are stacked in front of the rear windshield, it will also affect the rearview mirrors in the car, forming a blind spot.
04
Inner wheel aberration blind spot
The inner wheel difference refers to the difference between the turning radius of the front inner wheel and the turning radius of the rear inner wheel when the vehicle is turning. Under normal circumstances, a large car will produce an inner wheel difference of 2 meters, and a small car will produce an inner wheel difference of 1 meter.
When turning, if there are people and objects close to the body, it is very easy to cause accidents. Especially for large trucks, the blind spot of the inner wheel difference is a large blind spot, which can be said to be a "death zone".
05
Blind spot on mountain roads
The mountain roads are no higher than the high speeds, the roads are rough, and the view is limited. A lot of S-shaped detours keep you from looking far away. It is very likely that when you turn a corner, a car suddenly comes from the opposite side, or when the slope of the road is very steep, a large blind spot will form.
06
Tunnel blind area
During the day, the tunnel is bright and dark inside; at night, the tunnel is dark and dark. When entering and exiting the tunnel, the eyes are briefly blinded by sudden changes in light, which creates a brief visual blind spot.
How to circumvent? Scratch the point!
1. Be particularly vigilant and pay attention when turning, and observe the pedestrians and driving conditions in front of you in advance. Then slow down the speed, and zui move back and forth to see the situation left and right of the car head, to ensure that the situation in the blind area of the field of vision is clear, so that the way for zui to pass safely.
2. Before getting on and reversing, you should go around the car for a week and pay attention to whether there are foreign objects at the bottom of the vehicle. In addition, it is also possible to check with the help of the 360° panorama function.
3. Adjust the angle of the mirror after getting on the bus. The left rearview mirror should be adjusted to the two rear handles where the body can be seen; when the right rearview mirror is adjusted, the focus should be on the low-middle line of sight; and the rearview mirror in the car should be adjusted so that the main driver can clearly observe the entire contents of the rear window.
4. When making a big turn, if you are the driver, slow down to make sure there is no pedestrian and then turn; if you are a pedestrian, you should stand at a safe distance of 2 meters. Otherwise, even if the front wheels can get you over, the rear half of the car will hit you.
5. Driving on the mountain road, be sure to pay attention to the roadside traffic signs, remember to observe the convex mirror at the turn, encounter the car can be timely honking reminder, and adjust the driving state in time.
6. When driving at night, old drivers not only have to withstand changes in light, but also have to deal with the stimulation of the headlights of the cars driving opposite, and their eyesight is further limited. Therefore, when entering and exiting the tunnel, drivers must adapt to the change of light as soon as possible and maintain a safe distance from the car in front.
Write after zui
Dear friends, in daily driving, in fact, most of the above blind spots appear when turning and affect driving safety. Therefore, before getting on the car, you should remember to check around the car for a week, and when driving, you should remember to slow down and steer safely. Driving vision blind spot is not terrible, master the right way to break through the blind spot of vision, travel outside, safety first yi.
