What are the precautions on the expressway?

In view of the frequent traffic accidents in China at present, it is told that the number of casualties in highway accidents is rising, and the precautions for driving on expressways. I hope that drivers and passengers can understand it and travel safely.

Safe parking

What are you most afraid of when driving on the expressway? Stop the car! In the high-speed traffic, no matter what causes the road to be blocked and stop, the most terrible thing may happen. Here, let's focus on the car. When the driver of the car finds that the road ahead is blocked, he must immediately look in the rearview mirror to see if there is a big truck following you. If there is, he must slow down in advance and turn on the double flashing lights to remind the car to pay attention to it, so as to give the car behind him enough distance and time to slow down. If the car behind him honks his horn or keeps flashing lights at you, believe me, he must be unable to stop, and you must speed up to drill into the emergency parking lane! Even if it scratches your car.

tire blowout treatment

when driving at high speed, the consequences caused by tire blowout of the car, especially the front tire, are far more serious than that of the big car. Although tire blowout is unpredictable, we often find an interesting phenomenon in our accident treatment: if the left front tire blowout causes the vehicle to run out of control and hit the guardrail, it often hits the right guardrail, and vice versa. The reason is that when a vehicle has a flat tire, due to the different tire diameter and friction coefficient, the running track of the vehicle will be biased towards the direction of the flat tire, with the left front wheel biased to the left and the right front wheel biased to the right. When the driver corrects the direction, the pointing performance is slow in the vehicle with a flat tire. In addition, the panic caused by the flat tire often leads to over-correction, which artificially intensifies the out-of-control of the vehicle, causing the left front wheel to explode and hit the right guardrail, even hitting the left and right guardrails several times in succession. The correct way is to grasp the direction first when the vehicle has a flat tire, no matter where the front of the car is biased, give a fixed correction angle (related to your actual speed) and keep it hard, and don't take emergency braking at the same time, because the braking ability of the vehicle is unbalanced on the vertical line at this time, let the deceleration behavior be controlled and try to keep the original driving track, and avoid emergency braking to correct it.

speeding

the harm of speeding is well known, no matter where it is or at high speed, it will cause irreparable consequences. If you are driving a car with a speed of 1KM/h, assuming that you are 17CM tall, the physiological reaction time from the appearance of your eyes to the judgment of your brain, and then reflected in the braking, is about 1.7S, while your vehicle has already moved forward 47.2M. 4 meters away! How many helpless lives will it contain! We used to check the speed limit at 7KM/H (we only recorded it at 11 km), and a car actually ran 23 km/h. Looking at the photos, we all said that the driver would have to submit an expense account sooner or later. It was his life, and his life was in his hands, and there was nothing others could do.

marking warning

I believe that many drivers and friends who often get on the expressway will find warning signs and warning lights from time to time along the expressway. I didn't pay attention to these things when I didn't get on the expressway before, but it took me a few years to realize that every "accident-prone road section, please drive carefully". When you see similar warning signs on the road, you must consciously slow down and keep the distance between cars, and be prepared for emergencies.

Driving at night

In the current reality of our country, this is a universal law in the whole country: the number of large trucks driving at night is far more than that running on the road during the day. In our place, when it comes to big trucks, the ratio of day to night can reach 1: 5 or even higher. When patrolling at night, there are white lights on the left and red lights on the right, and there is no end in sight on one side. This once puzzled us. During the day, the vision is good and the traffic volume is small. Why do so many trucks go out at night? So that we often stay up all night for the police. Later, I learned through chatting with the driver that I have to load and unload goods, repair vehicles and find people during the day, and the most important thing is that road administration, over-limit traffic and traffic police are on the road during the day, so it is less troublesome to drive at night! This leads to the high incidence of various accidents at night. As drivers and passengers of small cars, driving at night has a large flow and high density, and it is second to be "unhappy" when running. What is important is that most drivers of big cars who have been busy all day are suspected of fatigue driving, more drivers with different licenses, illegal driving and so on, which will cause greater safety hazards to driving. Moreover, the seat of the cart is high, and the isolation of the highway can't stop a series of lights coming from the opposite side. The driver of the cart is almost driving in a semi-dazzling state. Would you like to ride with such drivers along the way?

flashing lights to remind

The expressway is fast and noisy, and the car in front of your car horn can't be heard at all. When overtaking, it is more useful to switch the flashing lights to remind the other side. Moreover, when you find that there are more than two large trucks in the lane, the front and rear distances are relatively close. When overtaking, you should be careful that the big truck behind you suddenly changes lanes to overtake. At that time, if you happen to run next to him, it will really be resigned. Believe me, half of those big trucks that change lanes can look at Amitabha in the rearview mirror before changing lanes, not to mention that you are a small car, which is not easy to be found and has a faster speed. Moreover, when overtaking at night, don't always use the high beam. When you are two or three hundred meters away from the rear of the overtaken vehicle, it is best to cut it into the low beam, so that the preceding vehicle can better judge the distance between you and him and will not misjudge it. You know, it is equally important for other vehicles to see you more clearly on the road, as well as whether you can see each other clearly.

Don't occupy the emergency parking lane unless it is an emergency. An emergency parking lane, as its name implies, is a lane that can only be used in an emergency.

accident handling

of course, what I mentioned above is just a simple accident with small financial losses. If your vehicle has a big property damage accident or even a casualty accident on the expressway, you must not move the scene. At this time, two more important things are involved: setting warning signs and calling the police. If a traffic accident occurs on the expressway and the vehicle cannot move, a warning sign must be set 15 meters away from the direction of the incoming vehicle at the scene of the accident, and the personnel should be transferred outside the highway guardrail. Remember: it must be 15 meters away. If a second accident occurs because the warning sign you set can't reach this distance, then our accident police will definitely give you the responsibility in the second accident, at least it is secondary or even equal!
