Why are women called "road killers" when they drive?

Many people will definitely say "This must be a female driver" when they see the car in front of them driving too slowly or winding. Female drivers have now become synonymous with "road killers". What people are most afraid of when driving on the road are novices and female drivers. If they meet a "novice female driver", they will feel bad all at once.

so why is this general situation? What are the misunderstandings when women drive?

Eight misunderstandings of women driving

1. Women love cars and like to hang a row of strange little dolls on the back window of their cars. As everyone knows, this row of dolls can easily block the rearview mirror of the car, so the safety factor of driving is discounted;

2. Some women are petite, so it is dangerous to put a cushion on the driver's seat. Because the seat cushion is movable, when the driver brakes suddenly, the forward inertia of the body can easily make the driver slip off the seat and cannot cope with the critical emergency;

3. Some women like to display fragrance on the dashboard. In the long run, the gas molecules volatilized from this fragrance will accelerate the aging of plastic ornaments in the car, which is also unfavorable to the health of the owner;

4. There are angular ornaments in the car, which can easily cause secondary injuries when an accident occurs;

5. Some women are afraid of wrinkling their clothes and don't want to wear seat belts, which is very dangerous;

6. It's inconvenient for women with long hair to drive and watch the cars coming from left to right. It is best to tie your long hair with a hairpin when driving;

7. It's easy to slip when driving with nylon gloves. If you encounter a big turn, it is even more dangerous;

8. Driving with high heels and platform shoes will affect the pedaling action. This is especially true during emergency braking.

Female drivers really need to pay attention to these situations. Let's take a look at the principles of safe driving!

four principles of safe driving

1. Sit correctly

Female car owners blindly move their seats forward because they are afraid of not seeing the scenery in front. In fact, this is very dangerous, which will not only slow down the driver's response to emergencies, but also be seriously injured by airbag explosion.

after getting into the driver's seat, you should first fill the whole seat with your hips, with no gap between you and the seat, and your back should be closely matched with the back of the chair. Then adjust the front and rear position of the seat in this position. The standard is that the right foot presses the brake pedal to the end and the knee can still remain bent. This can avoid the direct injury caused by the straight right leg during the impact, and also keep the flexibility of controlling the accelerator and brake pedal.

Keep your hips still, pull up the chair back adjustment lever, and let the chair back lean forward naturally. Then, from the upright position, adjust the inclination of the chair back to a proper position one by one. Put your back against the back of the chair, straighten your hands forward and place them on the upper edge of the steering wheel. At this time, it should be noted that if the steering wheel is just fastened at the wrist joint, it is the correct inclination angle of the chair back, otherwise it should be corrected again.

2. Reject high-heeled shoes

Keep an extra pair of shoes, and you'll avoid an accident. Although wearing high heels can create beautiful leg lines, the hidden crisis of driving a vehicle in high heels is several times that of ordinary shoes. Because the leather-based high-heeled shoes are mostly designed with hard heels at the bottom, whether it is an emergency brake or not, the chance of slipping feet will increase relatively, and even if there is no accident, it is possible to sprain your ankle. It is suggested that women who love beauty should usually put a pair of flat shoes in the car for replacement when driving.

3. Fasten your seat belt

Fastening your seat belt is the key to safe driving. Seat belts are important equipment to protect the driver's life in the event of an accident. According to the data, at least 7% of the people who died in car accidents were not wearing seat belts. There are many dead people who should be saved if they fasten their seat belts before the accident.

Female friends have more opportunities to take their children on the road, so be sure to let the children fasten their seat belts. Otherwise, in the event of a crash, in addition to being hurt like an adult, too young children are more likely to fly out because of inertia at the moment when the car body collides.

4. Be wary of driving alone

Women who drive alone often become the first target of sliding door robbers or crash parties. Therefore, female drivers should be extra vigilant. First of all, try to avoid passing through some remote sections; Secondly, remember to close the doors and windows before driving every time to prevent sudden looting; Once hit by a crash party, you can get rid of the crash party as soon as possible, drive the vehicle to a safe place, and then call the police. However, if you are surrounded by gangsters, you should ensure that the windows and doors are closed and call the police immediately.
