1. Driving makes life more convenient. Five reasons why women drive.
In the past ten years, the total number of private cars in my country has increased sixfold. The rapid growth of the market dominated by private cars has made my country's automobile industry quickly become the largest manufacturing country in the world's automobile industry. So, it is still unknown how many women are among private car owners, but what is certain is that women driving have become a beautiful sight in urban traffic. Different women have different tastes, and women who drive also have their own reasons. Now let us enter their inner worlds and explore the reasons why they become car owners. Reason 1: Practical: Driving makes life more convenient. Ms. Hu is an employee of a company. She bought a car two years ago and uses her car to commute to get off work every day. Ms. Hu said that driving is an important part of her life. Without this car, her life would be in chaos. Ms. Hu lives in Shijingshan District, her company is in Chaoyang District, and her 8-year-old daughter goes to school in Xicheng. Thanks to this car, Ms. Hu can easily travel across three districts every day. Ms. Hu said that once, her car broke down and was sent to a repair shop. In those days, she had to lead her daughter to squeeze into the bus. Although she got up an hour earlier than usual, she was still late. When I got home in the evening, I was so exhausted that I didn’t even want to cook. Ms. Hu said with a smile: "I drive not to follow fashion, but to facilitate my life. This car really brings me a lot of benefits." Ms. Zhao, who holds the same view as Ms. Hu, said that she is a single aristocrat and lives in a family. Work as a salesperson in an advertising agency. Although there is not as much burden as Ms. Hu, she still drives because of the practicality of this car. For example, she needs to drive to work every day, and she also drives when running business. It saves a lot of time compared to squeezing on the bus. Therefore, she overfulfills her advertising tasks every month. In addition, Ms. Zhao has to go to the supermarket every week to buy a lot of food. In the past, carrying big and small bags often made her out of breath. Now, she throws them into the car, no matter how much food she has. There is no need to be afraid of anything. Comment: This type of women who drive are generally relatively traditional people. Most of them pay attention to reality and are less divorced from reality. Reason 2: Romance says that driving makes life full of poetry. Ms. Xia, who likes literary creation, bought a car last year. She drives purely for entertainment. Ms. Xia's workplace is only 200 meters away from home. Do you drive to work? In Ms. Xia's words, "It arrived as soon as it started." Therefore, when commuting to and from get off work, Ms. Xia does not drive at all. However, there is no need to worry about the utilization rate of the car. Ms. Xia said that her work is relatively light and she likes to drive her car on the road for a leisurely stroll. She can walk and stop whenever she wants, just like taking a leisurely stroll. Listening to music and looking at the wonderful world outside will create infinite poetry in your heart. At this time, creative inspiration will burst out like a spark. Every weekend, Ms. Xia and her boyfriend would drive to the outskirts of Beijing, open the sunroof, and let the music flow. Lying on the back of the stretched-out chair and counting the stars, you will feel extremely happy. Sometimes, she would go to a drive-in movie theater. The distance between the cars was very close, but the people were far apart. "That feeling," Ms. Xia said, "is so romantic!" In fact, women drive for the sake of romance. Ms. Xia is not the only one, Ms. Chen is also a typical "romantic person". Ms. Chen comes from a DINK family and she loves cars as much as she loves her own children. Ms. Chen doesn't have many opportunities to use a car. Her husband is the boss of the company. She is usually idle at home and has a nanny in the housework. She basically doesn't need to intervene. Her life is all about walking the dog, playing cards, and playing with cars. She will spend a lot of time and thought to buy some car interiors and furnishings that she likes, and make the car more hedonistic. Living with a car makes Ms. Chen full of confidence in life. Comment: This type of women generally have a more successful career or a relatively wealthy family. They know how to live and are better at living. Reason 3: Enrichment: Driving improves the realm of life. Ms. Song had just been transferred to work in a car magazine. In order to enrich her car knowledge, she bought a car and drove it herself. Ms. Song found that sometimes theory and practice are disconnected from each other. Only after learning to drive can she truly have a better understanding of cars. Miss Song also joined the car club not long ago. I made many friends in the car club and learned a lot of unprecedented car knowledge from my friends. Ms. Song repeatedly said that driving made her truly fall in love with cars. The previously boring technical parameters of cars have now become the most beautiful notes in the world, which makes Ms. Song enjoy exclusive joy. If Miss Song's driving in order to enrich her knowledge is only an isolated case, then Miss Zhang's reasons are quite universal. Ms. Zhang travels by car every May Day, National Day and the Spring Festival holiday, which has become an unshakable schedule. Whenever the bright sunshine shines through the reinforced concrete, Ms. Zhang's heart cannot help but think of the beautiful pastoral scenery under the blue sky and white clouds. She knows that under the intense and busy work pressure of the city, she desires and needs this kind of life. Ms. Zhang said that she drives solely for the convenience of traveling. On the farthest journey, Ms. Zhang drove from Beijing to Tibet. Self-driving travel allowed Ms. Zhang to understand the customs and customs of various parts of the country, acquire knowledge, cultivate her sentiments, and at the same time increase her talents and improve her life realm. Ms. Zhang admitted that driving has made her life more fulfilling and meaningful. Comment: This type of person is generally a lady, knowledgeable, courteous, and considerate.
Knowledge will make them more "feminine". Reason 4: Enjoyment: Driving allows you to enjoy life to the fullest. "Life elsewhere" is a famous saying by a philosopher. It was later extended to mean that you are not satisfied with the status quo and yearn for a life state that is more suitable for you. Ms. Wang works as a department manager in a company. Her attitude towards life is very simple and she cannot abuse herself. Looking at the crowds of people squeezing up and down in front of the bus stop, and then looking at the bus being squeezed into a "human mountain" like a photo, Ms. Wang would be frightened and break out in a cold sweat. In the past, when she didn't have a private car, she usually took a taxi when she went out. Since getting a private car, she immediately hides in the car and enjoys life in her own private space. Ms. Yang made this more clear: Today's heavy work and pressure sometimes make people feel that survival is very hard. You must enjoy it when you can. Only in this way can you live a higher quality life. In the past, when there were no cars, Ms. Yang would feel particularly sad on windy and rainy days. She would squeeze into the bus in the rain, making herself covered in rain and mud, and sometimes she would catch a cold. That experience made Ms. Yang almost unbearable to look back. Comment: This type of woman is very good at protecting herself and will not let herself be a little wronged. Reason 5: Vanity says that driving can double your wealth. Hongyan has just graduated from college and joined the car-owning group. He can't hide the excitement on his face. Whenever she saw a woman driving on the street, she would turn back frequently. Seeing how comfortable and comfortable they were sitting in the car, Hongyan was very envious. At a class reunion, she saw other girls speeding towards her in their cars, and then saw herself stinking of sweat while squeezing into a bus. Hong Yan felt extremely shameless, and she secretly made up her mind to buy a car. No, it’s easy to say, dad finally took out his bankbook. Since getting a car, Hongyan has become more and more willing to socialize. She always calls her classmates and friends to "meet them" no matter what happens. In order to fully demonstrate his dignity as a driver, Hongyan is always willing to be a few minutes late, stop the car in full view of everyone, and then step out of the car gracefully. At that moment, Hongyan felt that he was really special, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. Miss Lin added that in fact everyone has vanity, but some people are good at pretending. Ms. Lin bluntly said that she also drove to satisfy her vanity. She said that because she had a car, her colleagues and friends looked at her differently and valued her. "If you say that I am keen on showing off, it's okay. I don't care. Anyway, while driving satisfies my vanity, it also makes me very happy." When Ms. Lin said these words, there was an incomparable look on her face. luster.
Two. 36 tips that novices must learn when driving on the road
Top 1: Adjust the driving posture
Correct driving posture is very important for safe driving. It can not only eliminate the fatigue of long-term driving , ensuring a good driving vision, and also making driving actions more accurate, rapid and reasonable. Driving posture is mainly related to the steering wheel and seat. After sitting in the driver's seat, you should first sit deeply in the back of the seat, with your waist and shoulders leaning against the back of the seat. First feel whether the front-to-back distance of the seat and the angle of the backrest are appropriate, then extend your arms forward and naturally hold the sides of the steering wheel. At this time, the wrist must be able to bend freely and move freely. Your legs should have a certain amount of room for movement, and you should be able to step on the clutch pedal, brake pedal or accelerator without any effort, and your body does not need to lean forward. The position at this time is basically suitable. If it is not suitable, you can slide the seat back and forth or adjust the tilt angle of the chair back to meet the above requirements.
Don’t be too nervous when driving. Many novices often feel back pain after taking the road for the first time. This is mainly because the sitting posture is wrong and the body is too tense. In this way, the whole body is stiff and competing with the car, and back pain is inevitable. . Don't always drive in the same position while driving. Adjust your sitting posture appropriately to eliminate fatigue.
It needs to be emphasized that after adjusting your driving posture, you must remember to fasten your seat belt to avoid nervousness and unsafe factors caused by suddenly remembering that you have not fastened your seat belt while driving.
Plan 2: Easily play with the steering wheel
After adjusting the driving posture, the next step is to hold and operate the steering wheel. The best position to hold the steering wheel is with your elbows slightly bent when holding the steering wheel at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock (i.e. on both sides of the horizon) with both hands, because this allows the arms to have sufficient activity area to operate quickly. steering wheel. When holding the steering wheel, do not hold it tightly, but lightly hold it by the outer edge. Many novices always hold the steering wheel tightly, causing their hands to sweat a lot, affecting the accuracy of their movements. Moreover, they are also prone to turning the steering wheel abnormally when changing gears, which raises the risk of accidents.
The operation of the steering wheel has different degrees of steering action depending on the speed of the vehicle. The higher the vehicle speed, the smaller the steering wheel rotation. When turning, you need both hands to rotate the steering wheel by pushing with one hand and pulling down with the other hand.
In addition, the steering wheel has an automatic return function. When turning quickly, you can relax your palms and let the steering wheel return to the center quickly on its own. However, you do not want to let it rotate by itself. You still need to hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep it ready at any time. state of control.
Some novices put their hands into the inside of the steering wheel to turn the direction when the car makes a U-turn or a sharp turn. This is what is known as "wheel pulling". Turning in this way may seem effortless, but in the event of an emergency, the hand cannot be withdrawn in time for emergency response; if the direction of the front wheel changes suddenly, it is easy to injure the arm.
Beginners should break this bad habit.
Plan 3: Familiarize yourself with gears
The type of car most novices drive when they first hit the road (manual transmission for example) is different from the car they drove when they learned to drive, so they are very familiar with gears. strangeness. If you don't take the time to familiarize yourself with the gears, the direct consequence is that you don't know which gear you are in when driving, and you often look down at the gear lever, which can easily lead to traffic accidents due to distraction. Especially when encountering complex road conditions, it is easy to shift into the wrong gear due to nervousness and cause stalling. Therefore, you must be familiar with the gear before setting out on the road for the first time.
Usually the position assignment of gears is clearly printed on the handle of the shift lever. When you get into a car that you are unfamiliar with, becoming familiar with different gears is the first step. You can use the following steps to become familiar with the gears.
1. Familiarize yourself with the gears without moving the car
At this time, first look at the gear diagram at the top of the shift lever handle, press the clutch pedal to the bottom to shift, and pay attention to whether there is a reverse gear. Lock. After you are relatively familiar with the gears, take your eyes away from the gear lever and use the shifting method during normal driving to familiarize yourself with the gears.
Note: If you cannot shift gears when shifting on the spot, you can depress the clutch pedal once and then again to shift gears. Generally, the gear will be shifted smoothly.
2. Familiarize yourself with the gears while driving
Driving in open areas or on roads with very little traffic, get familiar with the gears while driving. At this time, you must insist on shifting gears without looking at the shift lever. At the same time, you must increase gears sequentially when shifting gears, and pay attention to practicing the oil-separation cooperation.
Note: Remember to put the shift lever in neutral when driving, and pay attention to avoid sudden pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles when driving.
Plan 4: Be proficient in oil and clutch combination
When driving a manual transmission vehicle, the best oil and clutch combination can not only make the vehicle start smoothly and drive smoothly, but also make the power output smoothly. Save fuel and extend clutch life. This skill is often the hardest for novices to master, and stalling and vehicle body shaking often occur when starting. In addition, when shifting gears while driving, it is easy to cause the car to stall due to the clutch being loosened too quickly. This will not only destroy the car, but also make the driving experience very uncomfortable. There are also some novices who are not skilled in clutch operation and have developed the habit of stepping on the clutch pedal, causing the clutch to be in a semi-clutch state for a long time and accelerating the damage of the clutch.
The correct oil separation combination should be adjusted in conjunction with vehicle speed. At the starting stage, put the gear in neutral, depress the clutch pedal after getting into the car, put the shift lever into 1st gear, slowly release the clutch, and start the car with the accelerator. When you step on the clutch pedal, you must step it all the way down. When you slowly release the clutch pedal, you can feel the shaking and moving tendencies of the car body. When the vehicle shakes slightly and shows a tendency to move, slowly refuel, and continue to slowly loosen the clutch until it is completely released, so that the vehicle Start smoothly.
The oil-separation cooperation is equally important when shifting gears while the vehicle is in motion. As the vehicle speed increases, the oil-separation matching process gradually shortens, that is, the clutch pedal is released faster. In order to ensure a smooth shifting process, the accelerator must also be properly coordinated and never be forced to refuel. The ideal state is that during the shifting process, the vehicle runs smoothly, the speed increases gently, and no obvious instantaneous deceleration and acceleration are felt. On the contrary, when decelerating and downshifting, you must first brake appropriately, and when the vehicle speed is appropriate, depress the clutch pedal to change gears.
Plan 5: Find the right time to shift gears
Many novices don’t know when to shift gears, and often end up with low gears and high speeds. The correct gear shifting should be after the car starts, as the engine speed increases, and according to different vehicle speeds, shift into the corresponding gear.
Usually, when the engine speed increases to a certain level, the engine operating noise will increase. At this time, it is necessary to upshift. The timing of shifting is generally between 2 500 and 3 000 r/min. (Engines with different performance will be different, please read the user manual before using). If a novice has not learned to shift gears according to changes in engine sound, he can observe the tachometer while ensuring safety and feel the changes in engine sound at the optimal shifting speed. The principle of deceleration shifting is the same, but it should be noted that when the vehicle speed is too fast, the vehicle speed should be reduced to the corresponding range before shifting gears.
Some drivers are used to shifting gears according to vehicle speed, but this approach is not suitable for novices because their sense of speed has not yet been established. It is recommended that novices use the method of shifting gears according to engine speed. But everyone should still understand the corresponding gears at different speed stages. Taking a vehicle with a 5-speed manual transmission as an example, under normal circumstances, after starting, the 2nd gear should be selected when the vehicle speed is lower than 20 km/h, the 3rd gear should be selected when the vehicle speed is 20-60 km/h, and the 3rd gear should be selected when the vehicle speed is between 60-80 km/h. When the vehicle speed is between km/h, shift into 4th gear. If the vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h, you can shift into 5th gear.
Plan 6: Learn to see six directions
The driver’s field of vision is limited when sitting in the car. He can usually only see the situation in front of him clearly with the naked eye. For the left, right and rear In this case, we can only use the interior rearview mirror and 2 exterior rearview mirrors. Some driving actions, such as turning, reversing, merging and overtaking, must be completed safely with the help of rearview mirrors. Therefore, novices on the road must first learn to observe the road conditions through the rearview mirror, and then achieve "six directions of sight". Especially for some drivers who drive trucks when learning to drive, it is particularly important to learn to use the rearview mirror to observe the road conditions.
In the actual driving process, novices often focus on the front and ignore the five directions of left, right, rear, up and down. So how can we achieve "six directions with eyes"?
While ensuring that the vehicle is driving in the center of the lane and the road conditions are not very complicated, force yourself to move your eyes away from the front, and use the peripheral vision of your eyes to observe the three rearview mirrors, the road surface and the road surface. Above and in front of the vehicle, keep your center field of vision scanning the vast road surface - front, back, left, right, up and down. Look forward as far as possible; look behind the center, left and right rearview mirrors to see the distance and speed of following cars in all lanes behind; look left and right from the far left to the far right of the road, including those coming from the opposite direction. Cars, parking vehicles on the left and right sides of the road, pedestrians and vehicles about to turn out of the intersection; look up to see road signs and traffic lights; look down to see road markings and road obstacles.
In the process of expanding the field of vision, the speed should not be too fast, and the scope of observation should be gradually expanded while ensuring safety.
It is dangerous to stare at an object for a long time while driving on the road. Therefore, you need to practice your gaze movement. Don't focus too much on a certain car (such as the car in front) or other things. You must learn to see things at a glance. In addition, before merging or overtaking, always check the reflectors to avoid the influence of blind spots and keep track of the situation behind the car at any time.
Plan 7: Specially practice parking and getting into position
The biggest headache for novices is parking. Some people jokingly say: Even though many novices drive decently on the road, once they park, The secret is revealed. Many novices have "parking phobia", and because they don't park often, they have few opportunities to practice, and their parking skills improve slowly. Therefore, novices often have scratching accidents when parking, which increases the novices' parking fear. what to do? There is only one way, and that is to practice, and you must practice various parking methods under the guidance of "experts".
When practicing, you should focus on practicing two types of parking spaces that novices find difficult. One is where there are cars in the front and back, with a parking space in the middle; the other is where there are cars on the left and right, with a parking space in the middle.
The first method of entering a parking space is to pour it into the parking space. You can learn from the "move the parking space" method learned at the driving school, so that the rear of the car enters first to get it in place smoothly.
There are two ways to enter the second parking space, one is to drive in forward, and the other is to reverse. It is easier when driving in the forward direction. Pay attention to the distance from the left and right vehicles so as not to hinder the left and right vehicles from opening the door. When pouring, you can learn from the "sticking the library" and "pouring the library" methods learned in the driving school.
Plan 8: Repeatedly verify the following distance
Novices often cannot judge the distance from the car in front, so they often appear far away from the car in front, which affects the speed of traffic. At the same time, it creates conditions for other vehicles to merge in front of it, creating hidden dangers of accidents. There are also some bold novices who follow the car very closely, but their ability to handle emergency situations is poor. Once the car in front slows down or stops a little too fast, it is easy to cause a rear-end accident. So how do you keep the distance right when following a car?
The following distance varies under different road conditions and different traffic speeds. A general principle is that a safe distance must be maintained between the front and rear vehicles. That is, when the vehicle in front decelerates or brakes, there is a sufficient safe distance between the two vehicles, so that there is enough time for the driver of the vehicle behind to react and take braking measures. At the same time, maintaining a limited following distance can effectively prevent vehicles in other lanes from merging in front of you at will. It is best for novices to practice repeatedly on different road conditions. When practicing, choose a road with multiple lanes traveling in the same direction. When driving, you can refer to the following distance of the vehicle in the lane next to you and verify it yourself. However, the practice process should be done step by step. From large to small, up to a reasonable safe following distance.
Plan 9: Facing the meeting of cars easily
During driving, the phase difference between the ascending car and the descending car is called meeting the car. Many novices are afraid of meeting cars, especially when meeting cars on narrow roads. Novices often feel nervous. After a period of panic, they may stall, stop and give way, or even cause two cars to scrape, collide, or hit each other. Roadside non-motorized vehicles, pedestrians and roadside isolation facilities, etc. In order to avoid these situations from happening, novices must first overcome their nervousness and fear psychologically and face the meeting with ease.
To correctly meet a car, you must be prepared in advance to avoid psychological panic and operational confusion during the meeting. For this reason, before meeting a car, you should do one look, two calculations, and three slowdowns: first look, that is, look at the vehicle model, speed and loading conditions of the oncoming vehicle, the width and solidity of the road ahead, the conditions of pedestrians and vehicles on the roadside, and the parking conditions on the roadside. and obstacles, etc.; second calculation, through observation and comparison, estimate the approximate location and road occupancy of the two vehicles when they meet, so as to leave a suitable lateral safety distance; third slowness, that is, slow down the vehicle speed when meeting, and when approaching the intersection In poor conditions, vehicle speeds should be controlled and vehicles should not meet blindly. If necessary, they should stop first to achieve the goal of a smooth intersection between the two vehicles.
When passing a car, you should also pay attention to the regulations on giving way, and give way promptly and reasonably. At night, on roads with no street lights or poor lighting, turn off the high beams and switch to low beams when meeting cars.
Plan 10: Explore the actions and timing of merging
Many traffic accidents are caused by drivers accidentally merging. For novices, merging is a very scary thing: the constant flow of cars, the horns and flashing lights from time to time, and the mocking eyes of other car drivers will all make novices feel inexplicable fear.
Therefore, based on the actual situation, novices should try to drive honestly when they have not fully mastered basic skills such as observing the rear road conditions through the rearview mirror and following the car, and do not merge unless absolutely necessary. When the conditions are ripe, you will find that merging is actually very simple.
The basic principle of merging is that it cannot affect the normal driving of other vehicles. Normally driving vehicles have no obligation or responsibility to let merging vehicles pass first, so do not force the merging. When merging, you must grasp the timing well, and the merging action must be clean and complete in one go. You must prepare in advance for merging, and be sure to see the conditions in front and behind the lanes clearly before merging. Focus on checking the driving conditions of the vehicle in the lane you want to merge into, such as the speed of the vehicle in the lane, whether there is congestion or slowdown ahead, whether there is enough distance between the two vehicles for you to merge, and check your rearview mirror Are there any vehicles in the blind spot? When merging, turn on the turn signal first, then accelerate into the lane you want to merge into. After fully entering the lane, return the steering wheel and return the turn signal.
Be ethical when merging, and do not force the merge, causing the vehicle behind you to slow down and give way. Don't brake just after merging, as these bad habits can easily offend others.
Plan 11: Reverse slowly
It is easy for novices to make the mistake of not caring about the future, so scratches often occur when reversing.
Driving in reverse is more difficult than driving forward. The main reason is that the line of sight is limited and it is difficult to clearly see the road and obstacles behind the car. In addition, when reversing, the rear wheels become leading and the front wheels become heel, which is subjective. There's a difference in feel and some changes in where the steering is controlled. Therefore, the operation when reversing will not feel as smooth, convenient, flexible and accurate as when moving forward. Novices must remember one word when reversing - slow.
Before reversing, you should observe the rear view mirror and turn your head through the rear windshield to observe the situation behind the car and the left and right sides of the car. Reverse slowly.
When reversing, pay attention to whether there are cars or pedestrians in front or behind. Send a reversing signal and honk the horn to warn other vehicles and pedestrians. Then, with the vehicle stopped, shift the shift lever into reverse gear. When reversing, you must press the accelerator pedal steadily, and the speed should not exceed 5 km/h. Do not drive faster or slower to avoid stalling or causing danger due to excessive reversing. At the same time, you must observe the progress through the rear windshield and rearview mirror in real time. And pay attention to correct the direction to prevent the front and rear of the car from being scratched.
Plan 12: Learn to observe traffic signs
Although novices have learned traffic laws, they are most likely to violate traffic signs because they have no personal experience with traffic signs. At the same time, it is easy to take the wrong road or take the wrong path because you do not understand the traffic signs or fail to detect them in time. These situations are unavoidable. As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. The more you see, the more you master it.
In order to facilitate the observation of traffic signs, novices should pay attention to the signs on the roadside and above the road when driving. They should have a far and high field of vision, and understand the meaning of the traffic signs before driving.
In addition, when approaching an intersection, there will be guide signs on the driveway. Novices often ignore the guide traffic signs on the road because they are staring ahead, resulting in violations or taking the wrong road. Therefore, when driving to an intersection, you must slow down in advance, pay attention to the road surface and the traffic signs at the intersection ahead, and choose your driving route correctly.
Plan 13: Memorize the roads by heart
Many novices have trouble getting familiar with the roads, especially when encountering complex roads such as overpasses and intersections. Knows the way to go, even if you have walked it several times before. Because novices are not proficient in driving skills, they are in a hurry while sitting in the driving position, let alone remembering the route. According to common sense, memorizing the road while driving is a basic requirement that a qualified driver should have. Memorizing the road while driving is not difficult. As long as you pay attention, anyone can remember the road clearly.
When driving on the road, while observing the road conditions, the driver should also pay more attention to the traffic signs on the roadside. There are traffic warning signs near some intersections and overpasses. These must be remembered consciously. in mind. If you are afraid of not remembering it, you can write it down on paper. Once you pass this road again, you will have a feeling of déjà vu. When someone in the same car leads you, you should also pay more attention and don't just follow their directions mechanically.
Plan 14: Master the dynamics of pedestrians
Pedestrians of different ages will have different dynamics on the road. Novices should learn to treat them differently and change their driving methods in time according to different pedestrians. Very helpful for safe driving.
Children have poor self-protection awareness. They have the characteristics of changeable walking routes and uncertain stops and starts on the road. Therefore, if you encounter children on the road, you must slow down and never compete with them. road. Young people are energetic, quick-thinking, and dare to take risks. They dare to cross the road when a vehicle approaches, or walk on the road instead of the sidewalk, or even climb over the road isolation guardrail. In view of this characteristic of young people, drivers should try to leave space and leeway for them. The elderly generally move slowly and have poor vision and hearing. When they cross the road, they often do not see oncoming vehicles or cannot correctly judge the speed of the vehicle. Some elderly people even just walk with their heads down and do not look at the passing vehicles at all. Therefore, try to stay away from the elderly when driving on the road, and do not honk your horn to avoid scaring them.
Some cyclists often change their driving routes and take advantage of them when they have time, which is not conducive to driving safety. Therefore, you should keep a certain distance from them when driving on the road to prevent cyclists from falling suddenly and causing danger.
Plan 15: Pay attention to complex road conditions
When driving on the road, people often do not obey the traffic rules and walk across the road at will. This situation is especially common in cities. If the driver does not handle this situation properly, it can easily cause a traffic accident. In downtown areas or intersections in cities, especially on sections where motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes are not clearly divided, it is very common for pedestrians and motor vehicles to force their way onto the road. According to the provisions of the new "Road Traffic Safety Law", motor vehicles should actively give way to pedestrians and non-motor vehicles on road sections without clear traffic signal signs. Therefore, novices must learn to avoid pedestrians and must not drive out of anger or drive a car out of anger.
At some intersections, the driver's line of sight is affected by some buildings or trees. At this time, the vehicle should drive slowly and pay attention to prevent pedestrians or other vehicles from suddenly escaping from the intersection.
Plan 16: Learn to identify wrong driving postures
Some novices have a studious spirit, and they envy the experienced drivers' ease of maneuvering the vehicle. As other drivers drive, they carefully observe and learn their driving postures and habits. However, some drivers' driving postures and driving habits are incorrect. For example, many people are accustomed to holding the steering wheel with their left hand and the shift lever with their right hand. They feel that this operation is very convenient and chic, but this is wrong. This not only affects the speed of responding to emergencies, but when holding the shift lever with the right hand, the hand will put downward pressure on the shift lever. Doing so for a long time will increase the wear of the shift mechanism and affect the life of the shift mechanism.
Step 17: Avoid obstacles correctly
When novices encounter obstacles while driving on the road, they may not always handle them correctly. For example, some drivers are driving too fast on the road and are too late to do so. Observe the road conditions. When you see an obstacle, it is already very close, so you can only rush over the obstacle. This will cause certain damage to the chassis and tires of the car. Some drivers are too close to the car in front when driving, so they cannot observe the road conditions in front of the car in front. When the car in front safely avoids obstacles or an emergency occurs in the car in front, they have no time to take correct action and can only Emergency steering or braking will cause emergency steering and braking of nearby vehicles, which may lead to serial traffic accidents. The reason is mainly due to insufficient observation of road conditions. Therefore, when driving, you should always observe the road conditions, look far away, slow down in advance after discovering obstacles, and at the same time observe the driving conditions of vehicles in the left, right and rear directions, and avoid obstacles in a timely manner.
Plan 18: Drive cautiously at night
Many drivers like to drive at night. They think that there are fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the road at night, making driving easier. However, there are many disadvantages to driving at night, including insufficient light, unclear targets, and difficulty in identifying. Although there are headlights for illumination, the light from the opposite car often makes people blind when meeting. In addition, the lights of the cars behind can also cause dazzling on the rearview mirror of your own car. As a novice, you should develop a good habit of changing the lights to low beam when meeting another car.
