Never overtake on this road, or there will be fatal risks!

The so-called "eighteen bends in the mountain road", the mountain road not only bends a lot, but also goes up and down. For most friends who usually drive by car, because they don't have much mountain driving experience, driving in mountainous areas will inevitably worry about their driving skills.

1. Learn about these traffic signs on mountain roads.

There are many traffic signs on mountain roads that are different from those on expressways. Urban roads are mainly marked with blue and white signs, while mountain roads are mainly marked with yellow and black signs.

2. Pay attention to keep the distance and speed.

Because the mountain road is rugged, narrow and there are many blind spots, you should not follow the car too close, but drive farther than the urban area to avoid rear-end collision, and also leave yourself time and distance to deal with emergencies.

3. Don't slide in neutral.

Because the mountain road is rugged, don't try to slide in neutral, otherwise simply using the brakes for a long time may cause braking performance attenuation or even failure.

Send a signal in advance

When entering a bend, you should whistle according to the road conditions and traffic signs to remind the oncoming vehicles you may encounter. When overtaking on a mountain road, you need to turn on the turn signal in advance and whistle to remind you.

5. Slow down when turning and don't overtake.

Choose a relatively straight mountain road with a good view to overtake, return to the original road in time after completing the action, do not occupy the reverse lane for a long time, and observe according to the rear situation when merging; No overtaking in corners!

6. Rational use of lighting

When driving a mountain road at night, you should use the lights reasonably, and shake the headlights a few times in advance when turning and going uphill to remind the opposite vehicles.

Steps to overtake correctly

1. Before overtaking, observe the rear vehicles and road conditions through the rearview mirror, try to choose as much as possible, and overtake when the line of sight is good, the road surface is straight, and there are no vehicles within150m ahead.

2. After confirming that the surrounding conditions are suitable for overtaking, turn on the left turn signal and honk the horn. If you can't honk your horn at night, switch to alternating high beams.

3. After confirming that the vehicle in front gives the signal to let the car pass, turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and keep a certain horizontal distance from the overtaken.

4. Then downshift, then step on the accelerator deeply to accelerate, and overtake from the overtaking left side to minimize the parallel time of the two cars.

5. After speeding, keep driving at this speed for a period of time, observe the situation of coming cars from the rear through the rearview mirror, turn on the right turn signal after confirming safety, and drive back to the original lane.
