What are the ways to prevent car rear-end collisions?

In road traffic accidents, the most commonly heard accident is car rear-end collisions. Car rear-end collisions often occur in cities, and serial rear-end collisions occur on highways. Rear-end collisions in small towns are nothing more than trivial incidents, and car owners waste their time reporting them to insurance companies. However, rear-end collisions on high speeds often involve life-threatening problems. Now we not only prevent ourselves from rear-ending others, but also prevent others from rear-ending us. So how do we prevent others from rear-ending us now? Let’s read on with me.

1: Do not follow large trucks. Because large trucks are wide and large, they block the driving view, which not only makes it easier for the cars behind them to run red lights (the red lights come on after the large trucks pass, making it difficult for the cars behind to stop, thus violating the rules), but also prevent injuries caused by falling cargo. and yourself and your vehicle.

2: Not followed by trucks. Trucks generally carry heavy loads, but the braking system is far less sensitive and effective than that of cars. When you brake in an emergency, the truck following you may not be able to brake enough and kiss your butt! Therefore, be sure to keep the truck far away from you while driving and don't let it catch you. Follow you. When you accelerate and it is still following you, it means that the truck is traveling very fast. At this time, your best choice is to get aside quickly. You might as well say to the truck, "You are awesome, please go first!"

3: Do not follow the bus. Because buses, like large trucks, can easily block the driving view, and some bus drivers force themselves in and out of the station without turning on their turn signals. If they follow too close or on both sides of them, they are prone to accidents and suffer a loss. It's always a small car.

4: Not followed by the bus. The principle is the same as if you are not hit by a truck. If you are rear-ended by a truck, it is usually the car that suffers.

5: Do not follow the taxi. Especially empty taxis, which often have to find work on the road. Once they find someone taking a taxi, the driver will brake suddenly. Taxis carrying passengers will also get out of the car because the passengers are nearby, often without turning on the turn signal. He suddenly stopped on the side of the road. If you follow a car too closely, you will have no braking distance and it will be easy to rear-end you.

6: Do not follow high-end cars. If you are driving a relatively ordinary car, it is best not to follow a high-end car, because high-end cars generally drive faster. Once a sudden braking occurs, it can brake in time, and your braking distance is long. The possibility of a rear-end collision is high.

7: Do not be followed by the "sick car". If there is a car following you that appears to be in poor condition, speed up and move away from it. Because the braking performance of many "sick cars" is poor, when you brake urgently, it will often fail to brake and hit your car.

8: Do not follow other local vehicles. Foreign drivers are generally not familiar with new urban roads and drive slowly and hesitantly. Sometimes in order to find their destination, they will stop temporarily to ask for directions. Some drivers who drive long distances drive tiredly and drive suddenly fast, sometimes slowly, and sometimes to the left. Turn right suddenly, it is dangerous to follow behind, and a rear-end collision may occur if you are not careful enough.

9: Do not follow the "train string". If you are driving in the fast lane, you should try to avoid following "cross-cars", that is, several cars are following too closely, because the vehicles driving in the fast lane are very fast, especially new drivers who have difficulty in balancing the speed and maintaining a safe distance. Once the car in front applies emergency braking, it is easy to cause continuous rear-end collisions. Accidents involving three or four vehicles colliding are not uncommon, especially when the vehicle in the middle is hit from the front and rear, and the consequences are disastrous.

10: Treat vehicles as people. On the road with heavy traffic, each car is driven by people with different personalities, and each person has different qualities; some people use their mobile phones to read text messages while driving, some people do not turn on the lights, and more people lack The concept of safe distance between cars is even more like "flying close to the ground", so we must realize from a conceptual perspective that we are dealing with people as soon as we hit the road. If you think like this, you will be more alert on the road and the distance between cars will be much wider. Keep the driving distance as far as possible and maintain the minimum safe distance. It is especially important to drive at night. You must concentrate on driving and must not be half-hearted. Enter the vehicle-dense area, turn off the stereo, and stop chatting.

11: Check the brake tail lights regularly. How long has it been since you checked your brake and tail lights? In reality, you often only find out when someone tells you that your tail lights are not working. This very important measure to prevent rear-end collisions is often ignored. If the brake tail lights are not on, the probability of being rear-ended by others is greatly increased. It is usually necessary to check once a week, especially some brand-name light bulbs have a limited life. If you travel long distances and high speeds, you must check before each departure.

Of course the brakes also need to be checked, this is the minimum requirement.

12: Three no. Do not start quickly, especially at intersections or traffic jams, causing you to catch up with others; do not brake suddenly, especially at crossroads or with potholes on the road, causing others to catch up with you. Two people who apply the brakes A little trick, one is to step on the brakes first to give a braking signal to the car behind you, and then step on the brakes. The other is to step on the brakes first and then release them to leave some space for the car behind you. Don't change lanes suddenly, especially when driving very fast, causing others to chase you.

13: Stagger your gaze. Usually when driving on a road with traffic jams and queues, the distance between vehicles is relatively small, and the starting and braking actions are repeated continuously, which can easily lead to rear-end collisions caused by errors in coordination of hands and feet or errors in judgment. There is a trick called the staggered line of sight method: in the traffic flow, your car should not be aligned neatly with the car in front of you, but should be staggered to the left and right by a suitable distance, so that you can easily see the movement of the car in front, and you The car behind you also loses sight due to your change. It is easy to see the dynamics of the car in front of you, which greatly reduces the possibility of misjudgment, thereby reducing the risk of being rear-ended; especially the person following you. If you are a novice, this trick is Master Zhang’s proven experience over the years.

Whenever a car accident occurs on the highway, it is generally more serious than in the city. Therefore, while protecting ourselves from rear-end collisions, we should not drive while fatigued or other bad driving. Only in this way can we protect our lives and property. Be safe and responsible.

For automatic transmission cars, for novices who have just obtained their driver’s license, the first thought is “how to drive”. Indeed, we drive manual transmission cars both in driving school and in exams. of cars. So how to drive an automatic transmission car?

First of all, many automatic transmissions often have a delay in acceleration. When you step on the accelerator, the engine speed rises quickly, but the acceleration is not fast, which is generally between half a second and one second. Then, the acceleration increased rapidly, showing great stamina. Master this flexibly to avoid the dilemma of braking as soon as you accelerate in urban areas; or when overtaking on the highway, you have everything you need but only need acceleration.

1. Don’t use N file if nothing happens. Only when:

1) When the engine stalls while driving, quickly push into neutral and re-ignite, then push into D and drive to the repair shop.

2) When the engine cannot be turned on and other vehicles need to be towed with a tow rope or hard connection. Shift to N gear.

3) Never roll away in neutral like a manual car, unless you think saving a little gas money is more important than safety!!! and the life of the transmission is more important. I once read an article about a DX who disassembled an automatic transmission. Unlike a manual transmission, if you push it to N, many clutch-like connections inside will be disconnected. The wear is much greater than pushing neutral on a manual transmission.

(There used to be this view: In order to save fuel, some drivers slide the gear selector to the N position when driving at high speed or downhill. This can easily burn out the transmission, because at this time the transmission The output shaft rotates at a high speed, but the engine is running at idle speed. The oil pump does not supply enough oil, and the lubrication condition deteriorates, which can easily burn the transmission. )

　2. When driving, if you release the accelerator, the transmission will often think it is. You want to enter economy (or fuel-saving) mode. At this time, if possible, the transmission will automatically shift up a gear. However, the transmission will never reach 5th gear like a taxi driver when the speed is 40 per hour. So, if possible, pay attention to when the typical transmission upshifts. For example, POLO, under normal circumstances, if you release the accelerator when the speed is slightly greater than 20, 40, or 60, it will upshift. On urban roads, flexible use of the accelerator to upshift will reduce fuel consumption.

3. When overtaking on the highway, one of the techniques for manual transmission is to downshift. Automatic transmission can also achieve this function, but it is not so direct.

1) Accelerate first, or make sure the speed of your car is about the same or slightly faster than the other person’s. Change lanes if necessary.

2). Press the accelerator lightly and release the accelerator.

3) Repeat steps 3 and 2.

4). Press the accelerator hard. Pay attention. Press the accelerator hard. You will experience the roar of the engine and the pushing feeling

These are the operating skills of automatic transmission cars. I hope it can be helpful to everyone, especially those who have just obtained their driver's license and want to buy an automatic transmission car. Newbies, you must read these operations.
