Do you ever think about 3 things when you drive and hit the brakes? If you don't have this security awareness, it will be very dangerous, let's talk about it today, I hope it will help you.
First, should I apply the brakes? If there is standing water on the ground and the brakes may slip out of control, then you should not apply the brakes, but let the car slide naturally over the waterlogged road.
If you pass through a patched road, you should not brake suddenly, otherwise the tires on both sides will be pressed on different patched roads and the friction will be different, which may cause the vehicle to slide out of control.
Suddenly, when the vehicle bursts, the first reaction should not be to step on the brakes, otherwise the vehicle will lose control, causing irreversible consequences. At this time, you should hold the steering wheel tightly and try to control the direction of the vehicle as much as possible, and then reduce the speed of the vehicle by braking until it reaches a safe area and stops.
Therefore, you must know where and when you should not step on the brakes to avoid the danger caused by wrong braking.
Second, when to apply the brakes? After passing through a corner, if you find that the speed is too fast after entering the corner, it will be too late to slow down by pressing the brakes at this time, and you may rush out of the curve or roll over. Therefore, be sure to apply the brakes before entering the corner to reduce your speed to a manageable range, so that you can safely turn even if you release the brakes when cornering.
When following the car, we found that the car in front stepped on the brakes, so at this time we should try to follow the brakes, so as not to speed faster than the car in front, we will quickly approach the car in front, and the result is that the car in front suddenly brakes sharply, and we will not be able to brake the car and rear-end.
When entering a high-speed tunnel, the speed limit is generally 80, but if you start to slow down after entering the tunnel and then start to step on the brakes, it is not only easy to be fined for speeding, but also may be temporarily blinded after entering the tunnel due to poor lighting, and it is easy to rear-end if you do not notice the slow car in front of the tunnel. In rainy days, the tunnel mouth is slippery, and sudden deceleration is easy to cause side slippage out of control. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the speed limit before entering the tunnel to avoid danger.
Therefore, when to step on the brakes, we must also know in our hearts, one second earlier and one second late, sometimes it is the difference between life and death, we must pay attention to it!
Third, how to apply the brakes? When encountering a situation where there are cars in front and rear, you must know how to slow down the braking to control the braking distance, and you can neither rear-end the car in front nor let the rear car rear-end. When you find that the rear car is too close to the car, or you find that there is a situation in front of you that needs to be stopped, in order to attract the attention of the rear car, you can remind the rear car by braking. When you find that there may be potential safety hazards in the surrounding environment, you need to prepare brakes and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time. When encountering an emergency ahead, in order to reduce the damage, it is necessary to brake hard without hesitation.
