Pay more attention to some details and be more secure

As a veteran, you should always pay attention to the status of the instruments in the car when driving, including the most commonly used tachometer, speedometer, as well as oil gauge, water temperature gauge, oil temperature gauge, trip computer, etc., so as to keep abreast of the driving of the car condition, whether the engine is working normally, how much fuel is left, whether it is overspeeding, etc. But this is not enough. You can't just focus on the information in the car like a novice, but also know the surrounding environment well, because only in this way can you be guaranteed to be the safest at all times.

The best drivers in the world are racing drivers who control their vehicles with extreme precision. But the surrounding environment has a great influence on them, so they are also the best drivers at observing the environment. Take F1, which is about to start in the new season, as an example. In addition to knowing the information of various instruments in the car, drivers will also have a detailed understanding of the local track every time they go to a different track.

Simply say what the local temperature is, whether the weather is erratic, whether it will rain suddenly, etc. Before the start of the race, drivers often walk the track once to observe the track conditions closely. They will carefully study the shape of the road shoulders, and even some grasses on the side of the road will not be missed. So, which shoulders can be pressed over, which sand pools will not be able to move at all once they are trapped in them, and so on, they have to make it clear in advance.

Observe the environment

Racers observe the environment in order to drive faster. For us ordinary drivers, we also need to understand the surrounding environment in order to drive faster and safer. Happening.

We have to observe and remember the environment of the whole street, even if the environment is quite familiar to you, can you imagine the road from your house in your mind? I walk to and from get off work every day. Do you know how many trees there are by the roadside? How are cars parked on the side of the road? Are there any stalls and hawkers occupying the road? This path is the one you use the most, so you should be very familiar with it. Even if you know the whole environment like the back of your hand, you can’t take it lightly. Maybe one day the road will be repaired suddenly, then you need to re-observe how much road the road construction workers’ work area occupies, where the sewer openings are opened, and where there are warning signs. , does it have little effect on traffic, or does it only allow one vehicle to pass at a time?

If you know that a certain street will have a lot of water when it rains, then remember to take a detour. If it is the only way to go, you can also know where the water is deeper and where there is a There is a big pit, and where can you pass carefully. If necessary, you can also make minor modifications to the vehicle before the rainy season to enhance the water wading ability and prevent the car from breaking down due to water entry.

Watch out for passersby

Well, you are already familiar with the streets, so have you observed the surrounding shops? Knowing a little more not only makes it easier to get some much-needed supplies at any time, but it can also prevent unexpected dangers from happening. For example, if it is a shop selling building materials, sometimes long water pipes may cause traffic jams, and spilled nails may pose a threat to tires. If it is a toy seller, I am afraid that the children who have just bought the toy will be complacent, and they will not know it when they walk out of the road with the toy in their hand...

If there is a school nearby, then it is best to slow down and pass through this section of the road, jumping around and slapsticking. of elementary school students don't know when they will suddenly jump off the road, and if they are in class, the sound of your horn will have an impact on their learning.

For the pedestrians who are standing in front of the zebra crossing and preparing to cross the road, it is best to see their characteristics clearly. If there are elderly people, children, pregnant women, etc., be careful, because the violent movement of the car is bound to scare these vulnerable people. crowd. Even if a few young people are standing on the side of the road, you have to observe whether they are jokingly pushing and shoving, or playing roller skates, etc. If they suddenly fall off the road, do you have time to react?

Analyze other vehicles

When driving on the road, we also need to know what kind of vehicles are around at any time like a professional special team, and you also need to see where the license plates of the surrounding vehicles are. , because drivers in different places often have specific driving styles, and drivers of different models will also have different habits. If you know the car model, it is also recommended that you even observe the markings on the rear of the other party's car. You can quickly know what displacement it is, whether it is automatic or manual, and you can roughly estimate the car's condition and grasp its general condition.

As a result, if you want to start before a slope, don't get too close to the car in front of you, especially the bad trucks in poor condition, they may spray thick black smoke when they refuel, and Most of their disrepaired handbrakes are not tight enough, and if you are distracted, you will be in big trouble. You'd better see what kind of cargo is loaded on the truck in front of you. If it's water pipes, bamboo, etc., you have to wake up 12 minutes. The taste of the heart, it is best to avoid it as soon as possible.

There is also a situation where starting in three lanes and crossing the intersection will merge into two lanes. In such a situation, if you were originally on an out-of-road, then you need to consider the model and power of the vehicle next to you, and also judge the character of the other driver through the glass, and calculate whether you can cut into the lane faster, otherwise you will Let people go first. When overtaking, it is also necessary to measure the displacement of the other vehicle, the openness of the road ahead, the distance to the next red light, and the speed of the vehicle at that time, so as to judge whether it is safe to overtake. This is especially important on ordinary roads with two-way driving and no isolation belt in the middle, because in addition to the above factors, there are oncoming vehicles to consider.

Vehicles are always on the road. The road environment has a great impact on safe driving. Environmental factors include road conditions, pedestrians, and other vehicles. The weather and climate are also important factors. Try to open your eyes, learn more, pay more attention to details, and you will be better able to keep safety in your hands.
