The May Day holiday is coming, and many friends who have been "holding back" at home for a long time want to take advantage of this small long holiday opportunity to relax with family and friends on a self-driving tour.
In addition to avoiding the gathering of people on public transportation, self-driving tours can also freely arrange travel routes and times. Importantly, this small long holiday high-speed travel "again" can be free of tolls.
The 2022 Labor Day holiday is from April 30 to May 4, a total of 5 days, less than 7 seats (including 7 seats) small passenger cars through toll roads are free of tolls, the specific free passage period is from 0:00 on April 30 (Saturday) to 24:00 on May 4 (Wednesday). Free passage on the expressway is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane, that is, the vehicle can enjoy the free policy if it leaves the highway exit between 00:00 on April 30 and 24:00 on May 4.
The Ministry of Transport recommends: First, understand the epidemic prevention and control policies in various places in advance before traveling, and do a good job of travel route planning, reasonably arrange travel time, and try to stagger peak travel; second, pay attention to weather changes, make preparations for sun protection, rain protection, etc.; third, in accordance with the relevant requirements of epidemic prevention and control, do a good job of health monitoring and personal protection during travel, and take the initiative to report relevant symptoms and seek medical treatment in time.
In terms of route planning, due to the different prevention and control measures in different places, it is recommended that everyone try not to choose inter-provincial travel. You can choose a short trip in the province, and remember to check the epidemic prevention policy of the destination before traveling, so as to avoid "traveling away from home into isolation in a different place".
Even when travelling by car over short distances, vehicle inspections are essential. High-speed driving, vehicle safety is particularly important, to the vehicle to do a good job of inspection and then go out will be more secure. Of course, if you check the places you don't understand, you can go to the 4S shop in advance to check, or the maintenance shop near the community.
In terms of vehicle inspection, the following points should be noted: 1. Check whether all the oil in the vehicle is normal and whether it is in good use. 2. Check the health of brakes and tires, brakes and tires, which are very important safety indicators for long-distance and high-speed driving. The brake mainly checks whether the brake pads are normal, and if the tires have bulges or abnormal tire pressure, they will need to be dealt with. 3, look at the battery status of the vehicle, especially non-new cars with a certain number of years, these inspections generally require special instruments, it is recommended to go to the maintenance shop. At the same time, the working state of vehicle lights is best to check it, the lights are not only illuminated at night, but also have a good warning effect, which is very helpful for driving safety.
New energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicle owners, if there is a long-distance trip must be "cautious", need to do a good job of travel charging planning. When many charging stations in high-speed service areas travel on holidays, charging is often in long queues. It is recommended that pure electric models do not choose too long-distance long-distance travel during holidays, not only is it difficult to charge, but high-speed driving makes the power consumption of new energy vehicles increase significantly, which will make the problem of charging difficulties "worse". The tram that originally had a range of more than 500 kilometers would have a cruising range of 400 kilometers or even less than 300 kilometers if it were kept at high speed.
Although it is a short-distance driving, everyone should be prepared to rest before traveling, and do not drive in a state of fatigue. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance and a safe speed when driving at high speed.
