Is it tiring to run more than a thousand kilometers?

What is it like to drive up to 1,000 kilometers in one day? For most driver friends, it is rare to drive such a long distance. Not long ago, I drove more than a thousand kilometers in one day from Shandong to Shanghai. At the end, I sighed: Don’t risk your life! Why don’t you recommend drivers to drive continuously for such long distances? Let me explain it to you.

1. Slowed reaction and visual delay

Driving on the highway for a long time requires a high degree of mental tension. When maintaining a high degree of tension for a long time, it will make people The reaction is reduced, especially the human reflex nerves and visual nerves. After driving for more than six hours continuously, the stress response of the human visual response muscles will decrease by about 20%. We can calculate it specifically, based on the speed of 100Km/h, from the reaction time of the human body to braking, until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the braking time is usually about 30 meters, and an additional 20% of the reaction time will , increasing the braking distance and increasing the probability of danger.

2. Drinking Red Bull has little refreshing effect

Many drivers who often run long distances may always have Red Bull in their cars, but this is not recommended for long-distance driving. , because functional medicine such as Red Bull contains a large amount of caffeine-like ingredients, it will indeed keep the human body's nerves in a certain state of excitement in a short period of time, but doing so is a very heavy burden on the human body's kidneys. There was a driver Drink Red Bull like water and end up feeling unwell.

3. Pay attention to rest even if two people take turns driving

I really don’t mind the car owner driving long distances alone, especially a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers like the editor. Under normal circumstances, for long-distance driving of more than a thousand kilometers, two drivers should take turns driving. Under normal circumstances, the driver will show a certain degree of fatigue after driving for an hour, so it is recommended to rotate drivers every hour. Let another driver take the wheel.

But even if two people take turns driving like this, it is not completely safe, and the burden on the vehicle will be great. Therefore, the editor recommends that if two people take turns driving, they should take a break of 10 to 20 minutes every six hours.

4. Long-distance driving should be avoided at night

Since the vision at night is not as good as during the day, more concentration is required to observe the road conditions, so driving will make the eyes very tired, so , even if there are two or three drivers in reserve, it is still not recommended to drive long distances at night. When driving at night, the distance illuminated by the lights is very limited, the color changes are relatively monotonous, and it is very easy to cause fatigue, so this is Why, driving long distances at night is the main reason why accidents are very easy.

If you are alone, it is best not to drive more than 300 kilometers, or drive for two consecutive hours, and take no less than half an hour's rest.

So the editor hereby reminds everyone: Try not to drive tiredly for a long time, because the danger is always there in an instant! Don't think that you are energetic, have good driving skills, and are proud of how many kilometers you drive in a day. This is stupid! When driving, you must have a reverence for life and be responsible for yourself, your family, and other traffic participants.
