What should novices pay attention to when driving?

Ten Precautions for Beginners on the Road ● Release the brakes before driving.

● Prepare the intersection in advance.

● Use warning lights in an emergency.

1. Post "Internship" label.

According to the regulations made by Beijing Traffic Management Bureau last week, starting from September 1 day, all drivers who drive motor vehicles during the internship period should uniformly stick the "internship" sign in red on a yellow background. Trainee drivers with driver's license need to get their licenses free of charge at the branches of the vehicle management office before June 10.

2. Adjust the seat position and rearview mirror position.

Seat adjustment has two purposes: comfort and safety. If the ride is uncomfortable, it may affect the driver's mood and cause traffic accidents.

For safety reasons, when the pedal (accelerator, brake) is stepped to the bottom, the leg should still be bent, which is beneficial to apply force to the leg in time in an emergency.

The rearview mirror is adjusted to eliminate the blind area of vision. The rearview mirror can not only see the traffic behind and on both sides of the vehicle, but also see your own situation properly. This can be more conducive to reversing and parking.

3. Wait until the computer self-check is completed before turning it on.

For many EFI vehicles, when the vehicle turns on the ignition key, the driving computer will perform a computer self-check to eliminate the safety hazards during driving. Inspection items generally include ABS, braking system, lubrication system and ESP system. The self-test time of automobile computer is generally short, about three or four seconds. At this time, it is best not to start the vehicle until all instruments are normal.

4. Release the handbrake

Beginners are also prone to make a mistake, that is, they forget to release the handbrake when starting a car cold. Although the vehicle can still run if the oil distribution is well coordinated at this time, the loss of the vehicle will increase, the fuel consumption will increase, and it will be accompanied by the smell of burning. The novice pulled the brake while waiting for the red light, but forgot to release the brake when the vehicle was driving again.

At this point, if the vehicle starts to stall, it is most likely that it is sweating and can't find the problem. It is suggested that novices first develop the good habit of "releasing the handbrake when driving" to avoid damaging the vehicle and worrying themselves.

5. Don't slide at high speed.

An automobile maintenance expert once said: the braking distance of low-speed neutral gear is similar to that of gear. Some old drivers slip short gears not to save fuel, but to prevent the vehicle from stalling. New drivers should have the ability to distinguish and learn some driving habits reasonably.

6. Turn on the turn signal and look in the rearview mirror when overtaking or merging.

Overtaking and merging without turning signals is the cause of many accidents, and it is also the "old excuse" for many novices to make mistakes. For beginners who "follow the car too tightly", this situation has a greater risk factor and is prone to rear-end collision and being rear-ended. For example, if a driver doesn't look at both sides of the car body, it is easy to ignore vehicles with parallel sides. If the car coming from behind is too fast and the car body is too small, it is easy to rub when the front car merges.

In addition, when turning on the left turn signal, you mainly look at the left rearview mirror, and when turning on the right turn signal, you mainly look at the right rearview mirror. When overtaking continuously, you must always observe the situation on both sides of the car body in the left and right rearview mirrors.

7. Before intersection, merge in time.

Old drivers often say novice: the front of the intersection (about 150 meters) is not parallel, and you will suddenly realize it after crossing the intersection, and then the wheel will be cut off urgently, which will affect the traffic.

The situation of novices is not only unfamiliar, but also unfamiliar. Unfamiliar with the road, it is most likely to lead to glance left and right at the intersection and be at a loss. Think about how to get there in advance, and read the road signs frequently before crossing the intersection, so it is not easy to make mistakes. In addition, novices should develop the habit of broadening their horizons when driving on a long straight road, and don't stare at dozens of meters in front of the vehicle.

8. Avoid driving at high speed when turning.

The vehicle will roll when turning, and the roll amplitude will increase with the increase of vehicle speed. Novices don't know the performance of vehicles, and don't know how to match the speed and road curvature. It is recommended not to turn at high speed.

When cornering at high speed, the driver's body tends to tilt, which leads to the driver's lack of control over the steering wheel.

9. Use double flashing warning lights in an emergency.

If a novice encounters an emergency on the road, it is best to use a double flashing warning light, which means to warn the following car that "this car has an accident, please pay attention". "Double flashing" is a button with a red triangle logo on the instrument control panel. Just press it. Especially on the expressway, it is necessary not only to turn on the "double flashing" warning car, but also to use the triangle warning sign. Otherwise, accidents such as rear-end collision are prone to occur.

10. Don't forget to pull the handbrake when parking.

Don't forget to pull the handbrake after parking. This is done to prevent skidding, especially on sloping roads. Old drivers often say that driving must start with parking. Therefore, for beginners, "parking brake" is the first step to develop a reasonable car habit.
