I want to drive a long-distance car at high speed. Please tell me how I should drive. And I am the only driver and it will take more than ten hours.

This is a very popular and practical article on the Internet. I hope this article can help you and be adopted by you.

Advice from a highway traffic policeman, if you drive often, be sure to read it (Part 1)

This is a forwarded article on driving safety. Maybe many friends have read it. . But for articles on security topics like this, I read them carefully every time. What we are talking about here is the precautions for driving cars on highways. I think many places are similar to the situation of motorcycles running on national highways. It's important to have fun when you go out, but no matter what, safety is the most important, so whether you have read this article or not, please read it again carefully. It’s best to save it and read it often! The following text

With more and more private cars on the road, as a highway traffic policeman, in his daily accident handling duties, he encounters various traffic accidents, many of which are caused by lack of safety awareness. As for the cases that caused serious accidents, below, I will start from my own work experience over the past few years and talk about the safety precautions for driving on the highway from the perspective of a police officer who handles highway traffic accidents. I hope it can be helpful to drivers and passengers. My friend’s driving safety will be helpful:

1. Seat belts ensure safety

This is a common question, and it is also an issue that many drivers and passengers don’t take seriously. It is true that when driving in local areas, especially urban roads, in my personal opinion, the role of seat belts is mostly to deal with traffic police, and the actual effect is not great. On the highway, wearing or not wearing a seat belt can make a huge difference in the consequences of an accident. Among the accidents in 2007 that I was present at, my impression is that at least two fatal accidents involving small cars were caused by not wearing seat belts. One of them was a Passat that overturned. There was only one driver in the car. If he had fastened As for seat belts, I personally think the injuries were minor at most. The forensic examination determined that the death was caused by cervical vertebra fracture, all caused by the unrestricted movement of the body during the rollover. The second incident was also a one-sided car. The front tire blew out while driving at high speed, causing the vehicle to lose control multiple times. It hit the road guardrail, and there were two people, a driver and a passenger. The driver was wearing a seat belt and was uninjured. However, the passenger on the front passenger seat was not wearing a seat belt and was resting reclining on the folded seat. As a result, he lost control of the vehicle. While spinning, he was thrown out of the car through the rear windshield and died.

2. Controls when a tire blows out

I just mentioned a vehicle tire blowout. When driving at high speed, the consequences of a small car blowout, especially a front wheel blowout, are far greater than a big car blowout. Although the tire blowout is unpredictable due to serious tire damage, we often find an interesting phenomenon in our accident handling: if the left front wheel blowout causes the vehicle to lose control and hit the guardrail, it will often hit the right guardrail, and vice versa. The reason is that when a vehicle has a tire blowout, due to the difference in tire diameter and friction coefficient, the vehicle's running trajectory will be biased in the direction of the tire blowout. The left front wheel with a blowout will move to the left, and the right front wheel with a blowout will move to the right, while the driver is turning. When correcting, the pointing performance is reflected slowly on a vehicle that has a flat tire. In addition, the panic caused by the flat tire often leads to over-correction, which artificially aggravates the vehicle's loss of control, causing the left front wheel to burst and hit the right side instead. Guardrails, or even hitting the left and right guardrails multiple times in a row. The correct approach is to hold the direction tightly when the vehicle has a tire blowout. No matter which direction the vehicle's front is tilted, give a fixed correction angle (related to your actual vehicle speed) and maintain it with force. At the same time, do not apply emergency braking, because at this time The braking ability of the vehicle is unbalanced in the longitudinal direction. Keep the deceleration behavior under control and strive to maintain the original driving trajectory. Do not make sudden direction corrections.

3. Speeding

Everyone knows the dangers of speeding, whether it is local or highway, it will cause irreparable consequences. If you drive a car with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, assuming you are 170cm tall, the physiological reaction time from when your eyes notice the situation to when your brain makes a judgment and then reflects on the brakes is about 1.7 seconds, and at this time your vehicle Already traveled 47.2M. 40 meters away! How many helpless lives will it contain! We once checked for speeding on a road section with a speed limit of 70km/h (we only recorded it at 110km), and a small car actually went 203km/h. Looking at the photo, we all said that this driver will be reimbursed sooner or later, and it will be his life. Life is in his hands and no one else can do anything about it.

Regarding speeding, I have only two words: one is "nine out of ten disasters", and the other is don't be superstitious about "good cars". Some people often superstitiously believe that their cars are good and their performance is good, but everyone is equal in life. We have a BMW 745, a Porsche Cayenne, and an S80. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a Japanese car or a European car. As long as there’s an accident due to speeding, you will die or be injured without any delay. The highest highway speed limit in our country is 120KM/H. This is the legal maximum speed written in the safety law. This is not unfounded. According to foreign data, if a car with a speed exceeding 160KM has a tire blowout accident, no matter you Whether seat belts are worn or not, the mortality rate for drivers and passengers is 100%! Remember, it’s not 50%, it’s not 99%, it’s 100%! For those drivers who like to press the accelerator to the bottom as soon as they get on the highway, pray that your tires are safe and sound.

4. Safety inspection before driving

Is this still a problem caused by the tire puncture problem? This is a very accidental factor. You said your car is a new one? We have a flat tire on a new car with less than 5,000 kilometers. As for the car model, I am not in a position to talk about it here, but I can tell you that it is the most common family car sold by ** Company for about 100,000 yuan. In addition to checking the tires before traveling, there are also engine oil problems. Lubricant problems, cooling fluid problems, and even wipers and glass wipers must be carefully checked. We once broke down the wiper when we got off work. Oddly enough, it was the left wiper. It happened to be raining and sleeting that day. You can imagine what we were doing. How to get back home after traveling dozens of kilometers! I can’t bear to look back. This is a highway, with nowhere to go. Fortunately, we are police cars and are familiar with the road conditions. We drove with our double flashers and police lights on, tilting our necks and insisting on getting off the road. If it had been anyone else, they would have suffered. , or it will be easy to be in danger. After returning home and checking the vehicle, it turned out that a screw was missing from the wiper connecting rod. The repair cost was less than a dime, which caused so much trouble and hidden danger!

5. Highway markings, signs and warnings

I believe that many drivers who often use the highway will find that there are warning signs and warning lights of this kind along the highway from time to time. I didn't pay much attention to these things when I didn't drive on the expressway before, but after working for the past few years, I deeply felt that every slogan of "Accident-prone roads, please drive with caution" and such inconspicuous little yellow lights and little blue lights... Behind the lights are bloody lessons and cruelty. Believe me, the setting of these things is by no means arbitrary. Without dozens or dozens of lives and regular major accidents, the highway company and we would not go to such trouble. of. When you see similar warning signs on the road, you must consciously reduce your speed and keep a distance between cars, and be prepared to deal with emergencies. After all, distance creates beauty. This should be used in getting along with your wife lovingly and driving safely. All are beneficial.

6. Try to avoid driving at night

In the current reality of our country, this is a common rule across the country: the number of large trucks driving at night is far more than that on the road during the day of. In our place, just talking about large trucks, the ratio of day to night can reach 1:5 or even higher. When patrolling at night, there is a row of white lights on the left and a row of red lights on the right, with no end in sight. This once confused us. However, the visibility is good during the day and the traffic volume is small. Why do so many trucks stay up day and night? So much so that we often stayed up all night to deal with the police. Later, through chatting with the driver involved, I learned that during the day, you have to load and unload goods, repair vehicles, and find people for errands. And most importantly, road administration, over-limit and traffic police are all on the road during the day, so driving at night is less troublesome! This results in nighttime being a time of high incidence of various accidents. As drivers and passengers of small cars, when driving at night, the traffic volume and density are high, and the "unpleasant" driving is secondary. The most important thing is that most of the drivers of large cars who have been busy all day are suspected of being involved in the crime. Fatigue driving, unlicensed driving, illegal driving, etc. are largely involved, posing greater safety risks to driving.

Moreover, the seats of the big car are high, and the central isolation of the highway cannot block the string of headlights coming from the opposite direction. The driver of the big car is almost driving in a semi-dazzling state. You are willing to ride with such drivers along the way. ?

7. Use flashing lights to remind you when overtaking

The highway is fast and noisy. Your car horn cannot be heard by the car in front of you. When overtaking, you should use far and near flashing lights to remind you. It is more useful to hit the other side; and, when you find that there are two or more large trucks in the driving lane that are relatively close to each other, when overtaking, you have to be careful of the large truck behind you suddenly changing lanes to overtake. If you happen to run next to him at that time, then But you really have to resign yourself to fate. Believe me, if half of those large trucks that change lanes to overtake can take a look in the rear mirror before changing lanes, you are considered an Amitabha. Not to mention that you are a small car, which is not easy to be found and is faster. . Moreover, when overtaking at night, do not always use high beam. When you are two to three hundred meters away from the rear of the vehicle being overtaken, it is best to switch to low beam, so that the car in front can better judge the distance between you and it and avoid accidents. Misjudgment, you know, letting other vehicles see you more clearly on the road is just as important as whether you can see each other clearly. Speaking of which, I remembered that in the city, there are often motorcycles and motor vehicles that do not turn on their lights at night or use high beams to meet other vehicles. They think they can see the road and other cars clearly, but can others see them clearly? Those are selfish and inconsiderate people, I have always despised these people

8. Do not occupy emergency parking lanes except in emergencies

Emergency parking lanes, as the name suggests, are in Lanes that can only be used in emergencies. When there was a traffic jam at the scene, the biggest headache was that the car occupied the emergency parking lane, which prevented us from arriving at the scene in time. Because the car occupied the road, my highest record was to walk seven kilometers to the scene carrying the survey box. I was really angry at that time. But you have no choice but to think about it. Since the road is blocked, can you put on your wings and fly over before the traffic police arrive at the scene? Seventy or eighty tons of vehicles and cargo were overturned on the road. Is the road passable without a crane or rescue vehicle? Although you are blocking the traffic police, you are actually blocking yourself! This is not an important issue. The most important thing is that these people do not realize that the situation ahead may be critical. Some people may be bleeding or trapped. Before the rescue vehicle arrives at the scene, you have blocked other people’s hope of survival. Damn it! In a sense, it may be because you occupy the emergency parking lane that ambulance and rescue vehicles cannot arrive at the scene in time. It may be that because you occupy the emergency parking lane, the rescue vehicle can only risk driving in the opposite direction or turn around from the central guardrail, which only increases the risk. ! You may indirectly cause the death of others because you occupy the emergency parking lane! According to the fourth paragraph of Article 82 of my country's Safety Law Implementation Regulations, those who occupy emergency parking lanes in non-emergency situations are fined 200 yuan and six points deducted! If your loved ones were trapped in an accident in front of you, would you occupy the emergency parking lane? Remember: the emergency stop is a life path!

9. Protect the scene? Stay safe!

The highway section under our brigade’s jurisdiction is about 170 kilometers. In the past, accidents had to be done three shifts at a time. Later, as the number of personnel increased and in order to dispatch the police quickly (sometimes arriving at the scene ten minutes early could save a car) (Human life) We are divided into two accident alarm points, each with its own jurisdiction, but it is like this. It takes two or three hours to go around in its own jurisdiction.

Sometimes we often receive accident reports like this: a simple scrape or rear-end collision occurred between the two parties. The facts are not in dispute, there are no casualties, there is little financial damage, and the vehicle can move. However, no matter how we try to persuade on the phone, both parties refuse to do so. Move your car to the side of the road! We must go to the scene to "take pictures" before we move the car! Seventy or eighty kilometers! The fastest would be forty minutes an hour! Sometimes, for the sake of losing a hundred yuan, two cars would block traffic on the road, causing the road to be blocked for more than ten kilometers! When I meet such a driver, I feel so bad about him! For your own slight benefit, you ignore the traffic police's advice and go your own way. What if your vehicle is stuck on the road and causes a secondary accident? What should you do if your vehicle gets stuck on the road, blocking the road behind and causing an accident? What is certain is that if another accident occurs, the damage to people and property will be greater than your small accident. If the parties involved in the subsequent accident sue you, although you may not be legally responsible, you will be 100% liable for compensation. responsibility! In an accident with minor property damage on a highway, if there are no casualties, both parties have no objections to the cause, and the vehicle has the ability to move, the vehicle must be moved to the emergency parking lane. Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone with a camera function. Use your mobile phone to take two photos of the original scene before the train. Of course, it is best to communicate with the police on duty on the phone. Don’t worry, if you encounter such a “moving scene”, the highway accident traffic police will not make it difficult for you!

Advice from a highway traffic policeman, be sure to read it if you drive frequently (Part 2)

10. After an accident

Of course, what I said above is just Simple minor financial damage accident. If your vehicle is involved in a major property damage accident or even casualty accident on the highway, you must not move on the scene (except to rescue the injured). This will involve two more important things: setting up warning signs and calling the police. . If a traffic accident occurs on a highway and the vehicle cannot move, a warning sign must be set up 150 meters away from the accident scene in the direction of the vehicle, and personnel must move outside the highway guardrail. Remember: it must be 150 meters away. If a secondary accident occurs because the warning sign you set cannot reach this distance, then our accident police will definitely hold you responsible for the secondary accident. In the end, At least it is secondary or even equal! Unfortunately, based on my experience on the highway in the past few years, no one involved is willing to put warning signs in place, really! Not one! I was impressed by someone who could set up a sign fifty meters behind the car! I still remember that at midnight last summer, when an old comrade from the team and I were patrolling back to our work unit, we discovered a traffic accident that had just occurred in the half-way downhill driveway on the opposite side. Four or five people involved in two large trucks acted "as if nothing had happened." The person was either lying down or lying on the road behind the accident scene, which frightened the two of us into trying to get the person out of the guardrail. Within three to five minutes, another large truck drove across the road where the person was lying just now. I hit the accident scene three or four meters away in front of me! It is true that my legs were not soft at that time. If we had not met by chance on the road, but had received a call from the person involved to call the police and showed up at the scene, then none of the four or five people behind the car would be left! Of course, if your vehicle does not have a warning triangle or a cone, you can also borrow a colorful travel bag, an oil drum, or even a tree branch on the roadside, but don’t move rocks! Then the nature has changed! When it comes to calling the police, often after an accident occurs, the first call is to the wife and children, the second is to a friend, and the third is to the insurance company. By the time he thinks of calling the police, it has been an hour since the accident! If a secondary accident occurs because of this, I'm sorry, but you will still have to bear the legal responsibility for the secondary accident! After an accident, three things are indispensable: setting up warning signs, moving people off the road, and calling the police in a timely manner. If any irregularity in any link aggravates the consequences of the accident or directly leads to the occurrence of a secondary accident, the parties involved must bear corresponding legal responsibilities. .

Don’t worry, the insurance company’s reporting time is limited to 48 hours, and you can still report it the next day. Why do you have to evade the most important issues in a dangerous scene?

11. Do not throw away waste on the highway and pedestrians should not use the highway

These two items are complementary to each other. Why, you don’t understand? Every day here, poor villagers from outside the road pick up empty beverage bottles on the road, and there is no way to catch them all. If you push him down from one end and spin him around, he will go back to the other end. This directly leads to one consequence: There are three to five cases of unknown corpses in our brigade every year. We say it is an unknown corpse because there is no vehicle at the scene. Some large trucks are not aware of scratching or hitting pedestrians at night. There are only incomplete and crushed bodies at the scene. The squashed corpses were sometimes indistinguishable from male to female and could only be subjected to DNA testing. As for the number of injured and disabled people every year, the reason is that the drinks bottles you threw out of the car window, which damaged the passing vehicles, are not a big deal. I believe that they will not let go even if they are smashed. I have passed you by, but just using those small bottles to exchange for a life that is not rich but is fresh, can you bear it in your heart? When you roll down your car window and throw away your waste, you could be an indirect murderer! Passengers, please don’t stop hailing or giving rides on the expressway! There are also those people who pick up empty bottles and coal on the road. When a high-speed motor vehicle hits a human body, the person will really be broken! I will never forget that at one o'clock in the night that winter, I stood guard next to a headless corpse on the road. In the dim car lights, Mr. Wang from the local morgue walked towards my camera carrying the head of a woman he had found. We started talking. Suspected to be murder, a joint autopsy by the county and city forensic doctors and the criminal police team finally confirmed that the human body was hit by a huge impact on the back, causing the neck to be torn off and fly more than 100 meters away. It was later confirmed that the old lady was mentally disturbed. Not so good. The surveillance at the toll station showed that she was indeed walking on the highway alone. As for what she was going to do, no one knew. As for the corpses that have been crushed by multiple vehicles on the road many times, I have seen so many that we often have to use shovels and sacks to collect their corpses. You can’t imagine what it would be like to have a human corpse scattered on a 10X80M road. , you can't feel the smell of fresh broken corpses. It's something you can never smell in nature. I never want to see it again! Smell it again!

12. Stop, stop, stop!

I will put the most important thing last. What are you most afraid of when driving on the highway? It's parking! If you stop in high-speed traffic and the road is blocked for whatever reason, the most terrible thing may happen. Here I want to focus on small cars. In this situation, when the driver of a small car finds that the road ahead is blocked, he must immediately look in the rear mirror to see if there is a large truck following you. If so, he must slow down in advance and turn on the double flashing lights to remind him. Pay attention to the car behind you and give the big car behind you enough distance and time to slow down. If the big car behind you honks its horn or flashes its lights at you, believe me, it must not be able to brake, and you must speed up. Drill in the emergency parking lane! Even if it scratches your car. each year! Every year we encounter several such accidents: due to road blockage, a small car parked behind a large car waiting to be released. As a result, the large car behind hit it, and the front of the large car behind hit the rear of the large car in front! Where is the car? ! Two people, three people, four people, five people! How many people in the car mean how many lives there are! The car frame with a thickness of several millimeters becomes thinner than paper under the impact of dozens or hundreds of tons of weight! Don't be superstitious about what kind of car you are riding in, and don't think you are safe. I have seen a Hongqi car that was compressed to only one meter long after being opened. I have seen a van that was crushed into iron sheets. I have seen people trapped in the fire. With twisted figures and howls, I have seen heads of people squeezed so tightly that they were only two fingers wide. You may ask, why didn’t the big car behind stop? Believe me, it’s not that he didn’t want to stop, he wanted to stop the car so much! But have you ever seen a truck that carries nine tons but pulls fifty tons? Have you ever seen a tanker with a nuclear load of 19 tons but an actual load of 90 tons? Have you ever seen a Big Mac with a nuclear load of 30 tons but an actual load of 130 tons? The traffic police no longer allow penalties for unloading overloaded vehicles. If you look at the large trucks on the road, nine and a half out of ten vehicles are more or less overloaded. If you don't overload, you will make no profit, and if you don't overload, you will lose money! That's far from a problem that the traffic police alone can solve. When it comes to situations, especially on downhill roads, you can't stop these big semi-trailers even if you tie a hundred cows behind them! Let’s not mention it here for now.

We still want to advise all small car drivers who encounter traffic jams. After stopping the car, even if there is a knife outside, you must get out of the car and move to the outside of the road quickly until there are more than seven or eight large cars in the back of your car. Get back to your car! Why wait for seven or eight cars? In 2006, I had a car that hit a record of thirteen cars in a row. No one in our team has been able to break it. Which car do you want to be? If it doesn't work, just walk forward from the emergency parking lane. After walking for 200 to 300 meters, find an empty space to vacate the parking lane. It's cheaper to let the traffic police fine you 200 yuan than to kill you! Here, the same sentence remains: the emergency parking lane is a life passage! An escape route for you!

13. Others

I didn’t expect that this impromptu essay would be so long. Finally, I have a few simple practical experiences that I would like to share with my fellow drivers and passengers on the highway:

1. For those in the passenger seat, the safest seat is the one behind the driver. I believe For me, in an emergency, it is an instinctive and subconscious behavior for the driver to avoid you. Your superior-subordinate relationship, feelings and even family ties with him are of no use here. If you are a passenger in a large car resting in a back-seat sleeper, please also choose to turn your head towards the driver. Would you rather lose a leg or "a" head? This is not an optional question!

2. The highest proportion of causes of injury and death in traffic accidents are craniocerebral injury, thoracoabdominal organ damage, excessive bleeding and death from shock; therefore, unless you have professional medical knowledge, do not identify the injured person. In case of injury, it is best not to move the injured person easily, otherwise, his broken ribs may be inserted into the heart or artery with your "help". If the victim's limbs are bleeding heavily, you can tie shoelaces or belts above the joints of the bleeding limbs near the heart to stop the bleeding and call the police in time. This is the most important thing.

3. On the highway, double flashing lights must be turned on in time under any abnormal driving conditions! Including parking, road blockage and construction ahead, single-lane clearance, accidents ahead, entering fog areas, etc.

4. The driving experience of the driver causing major accidents on the highway is 6-8 years! Believe me, you read it right. This data is consistent from city to province to the whole country. You can definitely understand the reason. Practice makes perfect? Maturity can also breed pride!

5. Always treat other motor vehicles driving on the road with you as novices, and do not place your hopes on the safety of your life and property in the hands of others. (Just like when we see a female driver driving illegally, we quickly hide away^-^)

6. Before getting on the highway, plan the route, understand the road conditions along the way as much as possible, and give the vehicle Fill up the gas and keep your mobile phone charged and charged, otherwise you will be left in the wilderness, and you will have no way to go to heaven or earth!

7. Another aside, on average, a service area or parking area will be set up every 50 to 60 kilometers on the highway. When your vehicle encounters a minor breakdown or you are in an emergency, please contact us. Stick to the service area to solve the problem. After all, whether your vehicle is parked in an emergency parking lane or a widened lane, it not only creates safety hazards for you and others, but also may provide a rare opportunity to make money to premeditated or roving criminals at night.

8. The last idiotic tip: the police phone number is always 110! Don’t add the area code in front!

Keep one sentence in mind at all times: a good driver does not depend on how superb his driving skills are, but whether he has a sense of safety in his mind. I feel it is very well written. Whether you drive or not, you should know this, because you only have one life.
