At the moment of the epidemic, it is difficult to have the opportunity to travel far away. But if the destination is a suburban tour or an empty wilderness, you can avoid crowded places, not to worry about the crowds of small holidays, and you can also enjoy the freedom and happiness of the holiday. Protect good people also need to protect the car, this issue of the single worker to drive a long distance need to pay attention to the things to give you a good cover.
First of all, the most important thing is to wear a mask during the trip, queue up in an orderly manner, maintain interpersonal distance, cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control work during the travel process, and avoid staying in areas such as doorways and public toilets for a long time. Friends in the epidemic prevention and control zone do not have to go to the market, live a simple life, and advocate the "May Day" holiday to celebrate the festival on the spot. Reduce unnecessary dinner gatherings, especially do not bring children, the elderly and the infirm to crowded public places, adhere to normal prevention and control measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining safe social distancing, and be the first responsible person for their own health.
First, the brake system inspection is the most important
The braking system is a particularly critical system in the car, and its quality is directly related to driving safety. Before traveling, we must check the pressure of the brake pump, whether there is leakage in the brake pipe, and the wear degree of the brake disc and brake pads to ensure that they are in a normal state. Since this inspection is related to life safety and has certain requirements for technology, it is recommended that the owner must go to the 4S shop or regular auto repair for relevant inspections.
2. Check the chassis of the vehicle
Before the self-driving tour, we also have to check the chassis of the vehicle to observe whether the transmission and suspension components of the vehicle are loose, and whether the surface of the chassis parts is damaged or oily. If so, repair as soon as possible, do four-wheel positioning, etc., to prevent the vehicle from running away. More severe cases can cause the tire to be partially worn and punctured.
3. Check the condition of the tires
As the only part of the car that comes into contact with the ground, it is also necessary to check it. Before we travel by car, we need to check the degree of wear of the tire, whether there is bulge, cracks or damage on the surface, whether the nut is loose and falling off, whether there are sharp foreign bodies such as nails, etc., and check the tire pressure, whether it is within the normal value range, generally about 2.5 bar.
If there are obvious scratches on the side of the tire, it is best to replace the tire, because the tire sidewall is relatively thin and the pressure to fall off is limited, and the chance of puncture will be greatly increased
4. Check the vehicle oil and liquid
Check that the amount of fluid in the vehicle is in the normal range. The main inspection of oil organic oil, coolant, brake fluid, glass water, etc., if missing, timely replenishment or replacement. At the same time, don't forget to pay attention to the mileage of gasoline, replenish it in time, and avoid unnecessary trouble caused by not being able to find a gas station.
5. Standing materials on board
When traveling by car, you must bring all kinds of documents, including people and cars, such as ID cards, driver's licenses, driving licenses, etc. In addition to the necessary clothing, supplies and medicines, etc., you should also bring some snacks, mineral water, etc., in case there is a traffic jam or diversion in and out of the toll booth or epidemic prevention inspection and other long queues when the car needs. At the same time, it is also necessary to prepare some emergency materials, such as tow ropes, wiring, and on-board inflatable pumps to facilitate rescue in case of emergency. In particular, the owner of the tram must have a tow rope, in an emergency, you can let other cars tow, use the power recovery to restore a certain amount of electricity, so as to avoid the road stranding.
6. Four reminders when driving
1, drive to be predictive
On the highway, the driver's practice of only looking at the car in front of them is extremely dangerous. When the vehicle is driving at high speed, the driver needs to look far away, and the ultra-far front car pays attention to the road conditions in front of the road, vehicle condition information, and prepares for changes in advance.
2, the distance should be large
On the highway, be sure to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. The distance from the front car is generally related to the speed, and the faster the speed, the greater the distance from the car in front. For example, when the vehicle is 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the car in front should be maintained at about 100 meters.
3, brake as soon as possible
Early braking can provide sufficient reaction and braking time for the rear car, different vehicles have different braking capacity, different load capacity, if each car brakes too late may make the rear car reaction time continue to shorten and eventually cause a car accident, early braking On brake lights are also conducive to attracting the attention of other vehicles in other lanes to make preparations.
4. Try to stay away from the big car
Staying away from the big trucks here refers to staying away from heavy trucks at various angles. Heavy trucks have long braking distances, and if they are rear-ended by large vehicles, they are the most terrible traffic accidents. When passing on the side of the car, if the speed is faster and the sticker is closer, it may form a pressure difference, suck your car to the direction of the car, and when it exceeds, the air pressure difference disappears instantly, causing the vehicle to suddenly turn slightly, if the driver is nervous, the operation may be strange and hit the steering wheel to cause the vehicle to lose control. The larger the volume, the lighter the weight of the car, the more susceptible it is to this effect. There is also a risk of cargo falling when following the car. All in all, away from the big cars!
Simplex summary
The above is all the knowledge you need to know about self-driving travel during May Day. Important things are not too many times to say, when traveling, we must pay attention to understand the epidemic situation at the destination, try to avoid going to places where people gather, and if you need to report, don't forget. The safety of personnel must be placed on top of the safety of the vehicle, whether it is on the way to travel, after arrival, or returning home.
