Thirteen rules for driving a car safely

1. Observe the speed limit: "Ten car accidents and nine fast cars". Examination of the results of major car accident reports shows that accidents caused by driving fast account for a very large proportion. The reasons for causing accidents by driving fast are simple. At high speeds, the power of the vehicle is large, and the force during impact is also large. In addition, the speed is fast, and when a situation occurs, the driver's reaction time is short, and it is easier to catch a car accident due to surprise. A slow speed allows a long reaction time, and it is easier to take emergency countermeasures.

Second, pay attention to bends: the combination of the speed and the speed is the inevitable cause of death. Although warning signs are often provided on the traffic signs, if the driver neglects, the turn will go out of the road without turning, and if the deceleration is not decelerated, it will not be able to turn. Always keep in mind that you must slow down in advance on curved roads with a high degree of curvature to prevent the vehicle from rushing out of the road due to excessive centrifugal force.

3. You must look back when changing lanes: Whether it is unilateral or bilateral, there are exterior mirrors. Although the interior mirrors are subsidized, the driver ’s vision still has a dead end, which is about the rear seat window. Changing lanes arbitrarily without looking back may cause a car accident, because at this time, the vehicles in the dead corner are not easy to see your direction light, and even if they see it, they cannot have enough time to avoid it. This situation must be paid special attention to on the highway.

4. Avoid roadside parking: If you need to park temporarily on a general highway, you must turn on the emergency flashlight to remind other drivers to pay attention to it. People who leave the car must pay attention to the car. On the highway, you should avoid parking on the shoulder of the road as far as possible. The data shows that even if the car is obviously parked on the side of the road, there will still be some people who will hit. It's a highway.

5. Concentrated driving: Distracted driving is one of the important causes of car accidents. The data shows that some people drove the bees into the car while driving, some people looked at the map while driving, some people lost control of the car because they were looking for tapes while driving, or there was an emergency that caused a car accident . The report also pointed out that talking on the phone while driving will affect judgment and reaction, because it will distract the driver. Always remember that distracted driving also leads to car accidents.

Sixth, do not hit the steering wheel when the car is at high speed: This is more difficult to achieve. Some people do not sleep due to doze or other reasons when driving at high speed. The general reaction of the person is to hit the steering wheel and try to drive the circuit. The result of this action is "overcorrection". It will cause the car to deviate from the other side, and the driver's subsequent reaction is to slam the steering wheel back in the opposite direction. The result of these continuous actions also causes a rollover. Almost all highway overturns are caused by doze or distraction, mostly due to "overcorrection"; therefore, it must be remembered that the steering wheel cannot be turned sharply when driving at high speeds, and if the roadside conditions permit, let the car out Off-road will be a safer countermeasure.

7. Be alert at intersections: Some car accidents at intersections are caused by someone running a red light or a "stop" sign. Therefore, it must be remembered not to take it for granted that someone parks at a red light, but must pay attention to whether there is a vehicle crossing the red light on the horizontal road or someone on the opposite vehicle suddenly turns left in front of you when you pass the intersection, that is, there must be contingency Preparation. Older drivers negligently stop signs or run red lights are quite common cases.

8. It's best to turn on the lights when the weather is bad: turn on the lights on a cloudy day to let other cars notice you, which can reduce many car accidents of collision or collision; in Canada, the rules for turning on the lights during the day have been enforced. As a result, traffic safety has greatly improved.

Nine, pay attention to road conditions at any time: develop the habit of looking at the rearview mirror at any time to keep track of the road conditions and the dynamics of other cars. For example, if you find that the vehicle behind you is too close, you should change lanes to let it go ahead or accelerate away; sometimes there is an emergency brake in front and you have no time to apply the brake, you can make an appropriate response according to the rear traffic conditions.

10. Beware of drunk drivers: There are 50 percent signs related to drinking in fatal car accidents in the United States. To ensure your own safety, you should dodge such drivers as soon as possible. If you find that the front and rear cars are left and right, the path is irregular In addition to raising awareness, you should also find opportunities to report to the traffic police to ensure the safety of other drivers. Of course, you should definitely implement the ban on not driving after drinking.

11. Slow down on snowy days and keep the distance: driving on snowy days is a nightmare for drivers. First of all, the most important thing is the speed of the car. If the speed is too fast, it will slip or stop the car. It is necessary to slow down and keep a proper distance from the car in front. It is best to maintain a speed of about twenty hours per hour, and keep a safe braking distance of at least 1500 from the preceding car. When applying the brakes, be slow and do not brake urgently. The steering wheel should also be stabilized. In case the car slips, do not step on the brakes. If the car is in manual gear, step on the clutch. If the car is in automatic gear, put it into neutral to block the power of the engine. At this point, the steering wheel is stabilized and the car will be stabilized. In addition, it should be particularly noted that when the general road surface has not started to freeze, bridges, viaducts, and elevated roads often freeze first. Take special care when passing these sections.

12. If there is an accident, be sure to stop: hit and run is a very serious fault. In the unlikely event that an accident is involved, do n’t think of escape. Be sure to stop to see if the other party is injured and the car is damaged. And leave as much as possible the phone number and name of the witnesses at the scene of the accident, because they may all be witnesses. At the same time, the police must also be called to describe the situation on the spot, so the police can decide whether to send an ambulance or a doctor. At the scene of the car accident, do n’t argue with the other party, and do n’t admit your mistakes, and leave the aftermath to your insurance company to handle. In the United States, no matter what the accident happens, even if it is a small collision, you must also Notify the insurance company to deal with it.

13. Driving at night and on rainy days: The most important thing is to maintain a safe speed. This safe speed is the speed at which you can see the scene clearly and react immediately and brake. When driving on rainy days, try to drive lights as much as possible. Do not use high-beam lights when there are many cars, so as to encourage drivers on the opposite side to be too dazzling and prone to accidents.
