Small details about big safe driving

As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. Applied to driving, various small details are related to the entire process of driving safely. It is called details because it is easy to be ignored, and it is precisely because of neglect that it will lead to misfortune. Therefore, from the first day of learning to drive, you should develop good driving habits.

Here, I remind you to pay attention to the five dangerous driving habits.

Used to park without pulling the handbrake

Case: Last Saturday, Mr. Che advocated driving at the intersection of the provincial capital and other traffic lights. After the car stopped, Mr. Zhang found that the previous Poussin car was slowly moving backwards. The brake lights and reverse lights at the rear of the Poussin were not on. Mr. Zhang soon realized that the driver in front of the car must have neither applied the brake nor applied the handbrake. Mr. Zhang hurried desperately to sound the horn and flash the headlights to remind the car ahead, but the driver in front did not respond. The car in the front keeps going backwards, and the car in the back picks up again. Mr. Zhang, who is restrained before and after, can only watch the car's tricks.

Comment: During driving, not all drivers value handbrake. Some riders do not develop the habit of parking the handbrake, and only pull the handbrake when parking uphill or downhill. In fact, it is not easy to judge whether there is a slope in some road sections, so if the rider feels tired when pressing the brake with his foot when parking, be sure to remember to put on the handbrake before releasing the brake to avoid accidents.

Habit two one-handed steering wheel

Case: Mr. Zheng, a car friend, is driving a manual car. He has developed a bad habit of driving the steering wheel with one hand since he learned to drive. A few days ago, this bad problem almost made him a big mistake.

That morning, Mr. Zheng drove on a road near a bus stop. At that time, there was a lot of traffic on the road. Mr. Zheng habitually put his right hand in the gear, and the left hand controlled the steering wheel with one hand.

At this moment, when a pedestrian suddenly crossed the road, Mr. Zheng hurriedly braked, and subconsciously drove behind the pedestrian in an attempt to avoid it. But because of the sudden situation, the left hand that controls the steering wheel slipped. Fortunately, Mr. Zheng is already a driver with a driving experience of 4 years. He didn't hit the stone steps of the central flower bed after he controlled the steering wheel with both hands.

Comment: The badness of the direction with one hand is common to many riders. In fact, when the vehicle is driving fast or in an emergency, the ability to control the car with one hand is less than half of that with both hands. The situation cannot be achieved with one hand. In the daily driving process, some drivers drive cigarettes, use cell phones, or put their hands outside the window, and only use their right hands to control the steering wheel and gears, which is more likely to cause traffic accidents. The correct way is to keep your hands away from the steering wheel at all times, and drive the car to manually block the car. After the right hand is changed, immediately grab the steering wheel back to ensure that the car's direction is always under the control of his own hands.

Habit 3 driving and staring at the dashboard

Case: It is less than three months since Mr. Che You became a car owner, but there has been a rear-end accident. Mr. He has a very bad habit. He always stares at the tachometer on the dashboard when driving. Every time a gear is changed, he always decides to increase or decrease the gear according to the speed on the tachometer.

When the accident happened, Mr. He was accelerating. When he watched the tachometer gear up, the brake light was on in front of the car. When Mr. He looked up and found that the car in front was slowing down, it was too late to step on the brakes and bumped his head.

Comment: It is a very bad driving habit to look at the tachometer to increase or decrease the gear while driving. Usually, this kind of problem appears more often on novices, especially novices and new cars.

In fact, novices should try not to stare at the tachometer frequently while driving. They should learn to listen to the sound of the engine during driving to grasp the timing of shifting. When the engine sound is loud and loud, it is necessary to increase the gear, and when the sound is low, the gear should be reduced. Novices need to learn to listen with their ears instead of looking with their eyes.

Accustomed to four loud sound volume

Case: Che You Xiao Shen drove home alone at night. When driving, Xiao Shen shook up the window glass and habitually turned the sound on very loudly.

In a subsequent line change, a sudden shake came from the rear of the car. It turned out that the car was just about to change the line and bumped into a taxi in the rear that was about to overtake. Fortunately, the taxi braked in time, otherwise the two cars would crash even more serious.

Comments: Listening to radio and CD on the road is normal. Listening to music can also relax the driver's mood and effectively eliminate driving fatigue. But some riders, especially some young riders, like to drive the sound loudly, which will be counterproductive.

While driving, listening to music is actually very particular, it is best to choose soothing music, and the volume adjustment should be moderate.

Get used to putting five things in the front row

Case: Ms. Zhu, a car friend, came into collision with a commercial vehicle last month. The rear-end collision was caused by a "failure" in the brakes. The cause of the "failure" was an apple.

That day, Miss Zhu drove to a friend's house, and while waiting for the traffic light, picked up an apple and took a few bites. When the green light was cleared, Miss Zhu put the apple on the dashboard. After driving for a while, Apple suddenly rolled off the dashboard because Miss Zhu did not look down for Apple because she was driving.

Everyone should have guessed what happened afterwards. The falling apple happened to roll under the brake plate. When Miss Zhu was about to step on the brakes, the stuck apple made the brakes not fully effective and hit the commercial vehicle that was slowing down in front.

Comment: The cab cannot tolerate anything "invasion", so some items that are easy to slip and roll must not be placed on the instrument panel in front of the front windshield. Once something gets stuck under the brake plate, accidents are inevitable. Therefore, if you have to bring some scattered items with the car, you must place them in the rear row, and never put them in the front row at will.
