Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. When braking suddenly, someone stepped on the accelerator and hit a mess, and someone stepped on the brake to death, resulting in a big bag of people in the car. As a veteran driver who has been driving for 12 years, I will tell you today about the correct approach to emergency braking, I hope my explanation can help you.
In my driving experience, I divided the main scene of emergency braking into two, one is the emergency braking on the highway, and the other is the emergency braking in the city, different scenarios, its actual operation method is different, if you do it wrong, then maybe, you will suffer a big loss. If our novice friends don't know it yet, we must learn it quickly, improve our driving skills, and avoid accidents during driving.
- The situation above the high speed
When braking on a high speed, there are two situations, one of which is to step on the ground with one foot and the other is to brake. Under normal circumstances, if the car in front is too close, and there is no car behind you or the car behind you is far away, then in this case, in order to shorten the braking distance as soon as possible, you must need to step on the brake to the end, so as to avoid us rear-ending the vehicle in front. Due to the distance between the rear car, we do not need to worry about the rear car crashing in the process of sudden braking, but after braking the car in time, we also need to keep an eye on the rearview mirror to observe whether the braking distance of the rear car is sufficient.
If it is a holiday and there is more traffic on the highway, you must brake quickly before pressing the brake to the end. Sometimes although there is no traffic jam on the highway, but the distance between the car and the car is relatively close, and there are cars around, in this case, if the front brakes suddenly, we have to brake urgently, we must not be able to step on the brakes to death, otherwise the car behind may not respond in time, resulting in a dumpling like a dumpling one after another crash. We first brake quickly, and then step directly to death, so that the braking distance will not be extended too much, but also can make the rear brake light frequently light up to remind the rear car in front of the emergency situation, but all experienced old drivers see the front car in a short period of time frequent brakes, will understand what is going on will be avoided as much as possible.
- If you are driving within the city
When driving in the city, there are many people and cars, what we have to do is safety first, and in case of emergency, we must directly press the brakes to stop the car. In this case, because the distance between the car and the car is already very close, he has no extra time to give you to brake again, and the speed of the car with the car, relatively speaking, is not as fast as the high-speed above, you directly step on the brakes to the end, the car will stop immediately, and the car that follows after he found the situation is also a foot in the end because the speed is not fast, the braking distance is relatively short, generally, as long as it is within the safe range will not be rear-ended. But when driving in the city, we have to be careful to make sure that we are stepping on the brakes, not the accelerator pedal.
- How to prevent the accelerator from using the brake
The method of preventing the accelerator when braking is mainly done two points, the first point is that whether it is an automatic transmission or a manual transmission, the right foot we step on the brake must be stepping on the brake obliquely on the accelerator, your heel, the sole of your foot and the brake pedal These three parts should form a straight line, and the foot is naturally stepped on when stepping on the brake. When we want to step on the accelerator pedal, the heel does not move the footboard to move over and press the accelerator pedal diagonally, so that after developing muscle memory for a long time, we will instinctively step on the brake in an emergency, and will not cause the accelerator to brake. However, if the sitting position is not right, it is also prone to the problem of using the accelerator as a brake.
When many novice friends are driving, they like to adjust the seat very close to the steering wheel, and then the whole person is holding the steering wheel while driving, and when it is time to hit the steering wheel, the wrist is hit on our own ribs. This sitting posture is not right, it will make us feel that the cab is very cramped when driving, resulting in our right foot in the cab space is very narrow, once in an emergency, the right foot may be stuck, can not be moved to the brake pedal for the first time, even if you develop a muscle memory like the previous one, it is easy to have such a problem of accelerator when braking. Because it is too crowded when lifting your feet, you may step on it without moving your feet in place, and it may be the accelerator that you step on at this time.
The above picture is a demonstration of a normal sitting posture, we follow this diagram to adjust our seat, the normal sitting posture must be our right foot completely pressed the brake to the end after this knee is still a little bent, when our hand is on the steering wheel at 12 o'clock, our wrist is still a little bent on it, not that the whole body is held on this steering wheel, at first you may feel uncomfortable, not very accustomed, but when you get used to it, there will be no problem。
The above is about the question of whether to brake or step on the end when braking suddenly, if you think what I said is useful to you, don't forget to give me a thumbs up, thank you.
