From April 1, the Ministry of Public Security's newly revised Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses (Order No. 162) will be officially implemented, which adds a new C6 light traction trailer quasi-driving type. For car owners who want to drive a private car, tow a caravan, motorcycle, motorboat to a campground or the seaside to relax and enjoy life, the C6 has become a necessity. Many car owners who have had C6 driving experience think that "I will open, what is so difficult about the test?" before signing up for the driving test training? And when the real training, he said, "The C6 driving test is too difficult." ”
On April 13, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily came to the Oriental Fashion Driving School in Daxing, Beijing, and felt where the C6 driving test was difficult. It was found that when reversing into the warehouse, the older the driver, the more likely to make mistakes.
Applying for a C6 driver's license requires 3 conditions to be 67 years old at a college on site
At 10:30 a.m., the reporter came to the C6 driving test site. According to Zhao Chenguang, deputy general manager of Oriental Fashion Driving School Co., Ltd., there are two ways to apply for a C6 driver's license. The first is relatively simple, is the original holder of the A2 quasi-driving license, due to the age of 60 or voluntary demotion has been cancelled A2 driving license, and now there is a need to drive a light traction trailer, can not need to take the test, can directly apply to the vehicle management office to endorse the C6 quasi-driving qualification.
The other is a new student, first of all, the driver must have obtained a quasi-driving driver's license to drive a small car (C1), a small automatic car (C2) or above, and there is no record of 12 points in this scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application.
It should be noted that the person applying for the C6 driver's license must be over 20 years old and under 60 years old. For those over 60 years old and under 70 years old, if there is a real need to drive a light traction trailer, they can also apply for an additional C6 driving license after passing the ability tests such as memory, judgment and reaction.
Regarding the driving test, Zhao Chenguang revealed that it is necessary to test the common knowledge of safe and civilized driving in subjects two and three. Among them, the subject two examination items include pile examination, curve driving, right angle turning three items, focusing on the driver's perception, judgment and operation of the body position, moving trajectory, etc., to ensure the safe driving ability of light traction trailers.
The reporter saw at the scene that an elderly student came to study. "I am 67 years old this year, and I bought a 7-meter 5 Binshi Dun motorhome when I retired 8 years ago, and I want to enjoy life after retirement, and I have been driving for several years." Elderly trainees told reporters that they have raised a few pet dogs, if you go out to live in the hotel is very inconvenient, so the C6 driver's license is just needed for themselves, because they can no longer drive such models after the age of 70, ready to take the exam as soon as possible, enjoy a few more years of free scenery.
"I came here today to do the 'three forces' test, but looking at the width and distance, I think I have no problem and am sure." Elderly trainees said.
Even with an A2 driver's license, the C6 models operate differently
It is understood that the instructors of the C6 model of the Oriental Fashion Driving School are skilled drivers who hold an A2 driver's license and have participated in large -scale "float" driving.
Subsequently, the reporter found Cui Meng, the C6 coach of the Oriental Fashion Driving School, and accompanied the reporter to the car for the experience. First of all, he introduced the components and models of light traction trailers to reporters. The power car used for the examination is a Chase T90, and the rear caravan is a "Dachi" brand mid-axle trailer caravan that is more common in China, with a total length of about 9.7 meters. The soft connection device in the middle between the two vehicles is mainly composed of several important components: power supply, handbrake, safety, safety rope and wheels.
First of all, the safety rope and the fixed position of the power car are connected, "the safety rope and the handbrake have a linkage mechanism, many riders go out to play, the road will be more bumpy, it is easy to cause the caravan to be unhooked, and the meaning of the safety rope is to start the handbrake when the decoupling is disconnected, to prevent the rear car from getting out of control." Cui Meng introduced that after fixing the safety rope, the clockwise rotated the rear front wheel outrigger, lowered the body and adjusted the angle at the same time, so that the hook naturally lowered the card to score the head, and the insurance naturally stuck. After that, the front wheel legs of the rear car are retracted and securely fixed. After connecting the power supply, check that the rear headlights can be used normally, and then you can drive.
He told reporters that even if he holds an A2 driver's license and has driven a larger truck, the driving feeling of light tractor trailers and other models is still different. At first, when formulating the teaching plan, I also wanted to refer to the teaching standards of the A2 heavy traction trailer driver's license, but in practice, it was found that the connecting ball head of the C6 model was much more sensitive than that of the A2 model, and the turning timing when reversing the library was different. In addition, the length and number of steering wheel laps change, the number of steering wheel laps of the A2 model is two and a half laps each, while the C6 model is only one and a half laps, missing a full lap, so for many old drivers who have formed habits, adapting to this situation also requires a lot of practice and practice.
"There are a lot of old drivers who come to us to practice, and there have also been failures, and for new drivers, a lot of inverted straight line practice is needed." The coach said that some of the owners of the RV who have driven for many years will not reverse the library when they come to the exam, and usually use the car mover to park. "But there are thousands of changes on the road, and it is also very likely that the road is not clear, there is an accident or the wrong road needs to reverse, if you take out the car mover at this time, it is impossible, and the back has long been blocked." The coach told reporters that learning to reverse correctly is very necessary for all drivers.
The reporter personally tested the C6 driving test and deducted more than 500 points after trying three times
After getting on the car, the reporter first adjusted the seat according to the requirements of the coach, and then adjusted the rearview mirror to the position outside the car that accounted for 1/10 of the power car, and the 9/10 field of view was outside the car. Then follow the exam order of "S-curve", "L-shaped right angle bend" and "reverse into the warehouse".
The reporter has been driving for 10 years, has driven more than 90,000 kilometers in total, and is familiar with 3 models of ordinary cars, medium and long-term SUVs and commercial vehicles, but the first feeling after sitting on the light traction trailer is that the field of vision in the car is significantly reduced, especially in the case of cornering, even if the seat and rearview mirror are adjusted, as far as possible to let themselves see outside the car, but the field of vision is also reduced by nearly 1/3.
When driving on the "S-curve", passing at a speed of 20 km / h, due to the difficulty of changing the driving habit of "turning small turns" on weekdays, the body body that was more than doubled allowed the reporter to incorrectly estimate the inner wheel difference, and there were two errors in the internal test wheel pressure line. While passing the "L-shaped right angle bend", the reporter reduced the speed of the car to 13 km / h, and the rear wheel of the motorhome ventured through with a gap of a few centimeters.
According to the coach, the real difficulty in driving this type of model is actually in the "reverse into the warehouse". He said that the operation of this type of car reversing, because there is a hanging axle in the middle, the left and right operations of the steering wheel when reversing are reversed, and the driver's reverse consciousness must be cultivated, and the longer the driving age, the more difficult it is to correct. "Most of the people who folded in this exam are still old drivers." The coach said.
In addition, due to the rear towing, so can not be like the normal car to carry out a 90-degree angle turn, must be in the form of arc angle into the warehouse, the body of the timing of the correction, must have sufficient experience to make an accurate judgment.
According to the coach, the prescribed time for reversing into the warehouse is 8 minutes, and the warehouse is divided into two positions, A and B, the length of the library is 18 meters, and the width of the two libraries is 6.4 meters. Start with the wheel crossing the right starting line, pour into the left B library, and then drive out of the B library, drive to the left, let the wheel pass the left stop line, and then pour into the A library, alternately.
The last action is played by the armor and returns to the right starting line. If the timeout or the wheel is pressed down, it will be recorded as 100 points, which is judged to be a failure of the assessment.
When the reporter first experienced it, he realized that driving a light traction trailer backwards into the warehouse is fundamentally different from ordinary vehicle operation. Even if the coach constantly reminds on the side, observe the rearview mirror in time, let the trailer fall into the garage at an angle of about 135 degrees, and let the rear car pour into the garage in the form of a precise parabola, but due to the sudden change in driving habits, and the slower reaction of the rear car when turning in the opposite direction, for the first-time driver, the steering angle is also completely "blind guessing", while thinking about the steering angle, while restraining the subconscious operation caused by their previous experience.
"To the left, to the left, to stay still, much more!" Come back a little, hurry to the left, keep still, and then return to the wheel when you can't see the side of the caravan in the rearview mirror..." The coach tried his best to guide on the side, and when the reporter finally thought it was successful, he was told by the system to fall into the wrong A garage, and there was an overwhelming situation during the period.
Subsequently, the reporter adjusted the body for a second attempt, and the result was that due to the wrong estimation of the reaction time of the rear car back to the positive, the operation was reversed in advance, and it could not enter the garage and failed.
On the last attempt, the reporter reluctantly pulled the car into the parking space with the front of the car about to scratch the test pole.
A total of 3 experiences, counting the "S-shaped curve" and "right angle cornering" two tests, a total of 4 times the pressure line, a storage failure, and other wrong operations, a total of more than 500 points were deducted.
The vast majority of students think that the C6 driving test is necessary: "I have seen a car owner almost fall into a ravine"
With the introduction of the new regulations on the C6 driver's license, many citizens have signed up for systematic training.
According to reports, as of April 12, more than 300 people in Beijing Oriental Fashion have signed up for the training in more than a month, and more than 150 people have completed 20 hours of study to prepare for the exam.
When communicating with some other students, the reporter learned that in fact, many people have urgent needs for the use of trailer RVs and motorcycles, mainly retirees who have the conditions to enjoy a better life, middle-aged students who love life, sports enthusiasts and practitioners engaged in RVs and other tourism.
Mr. He, 30 years old, bought a new motorhome some time ago and is ready to take his children to the mountains and rivers of various suburbs to experience nature. "In fact, this driving test, in addition to ensuring our travel safety, when a group of students are together, they can also exchange models and avoid entering the pit."
In addition, when the reporter registered, he also met Mr. Zhang, 34 years old this year, who came to register with his wife. He said his parents have retired and want to take advantage of the convenience to move around and enjoy life. For this reason, he signed up for a C6 driver's license. "In fact, I used to be a B book, but once I saw a motorhome on the road to the camp, the owner may not operate properly, may also be unfamiliar with the model, turn more, almost fell into the ravine, at that time I thought, really should introduce a detailed rule for the owners to learn well."
According to a number of trainees, the mainland's requirements for trailerS have not been clearly defined, and there is a certain middle ground from legal design to law enforcement supervision, especially for driver driving technology assessment is almost zero, so that many first-time car owners lack a certain sense of security. After the implementation of the new policy, the quasi-driving type, application qualifications and examination requirements have been clarified.
It can be said that after systematic training and mastery of driving sense, to a certain extent, it has added a safety guarantee for drivers, and can better meet the needs of the masses to drive caravans and promote the development of new forms of caravan tourism.
