Which way is the safest way for a car to go when passing a toll gate on a highway?

On the far right, the green channel

1. Stop, stop, stop!

What is the scariest thing about driving on the highway? Parking! No matter what the reason is for stopping the road in high-speed moving traffic, the most terrifying 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. Every 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, three, four, five people! How many people are on the car means how many lives are there! The frame of the car, which is a few millimeters thick, is thinner than paper under the impact of dozens or hundreds of tons of weight! Don’t Be superstitious about the car you are riding in. Don’t think you are safe. I have seen a Hongqi car that was compressed and stretched to only one meter long. I have seen a van that was crushed into iron sheets. I have seen the twists of people trapped in the fire. I have seen the figures and howls of people so crowded that they are only two fingers wide. You may ask, why doesn’t the big car behind stop? Believe me, it’s not that he doesn’t want to stop, he wants to stop the car so much! But have you ever seen a truck that carries nine tons of nuclear power but pulls fifty tons? Have you ever seen a tank truck that has a nuclear load of nineteen tons but actually carries ninety tons? Have you ever seen a tank truck that carries thirty tons of nuclear power but actually carries one hundred and thirty tons? A ton of Big Mac?

2. Controls when a tire blows out

I just mentioned a vehicle tire blowout, which is caused by a car tire blowout when driving at high speed, especially the front wheel blowout. The consequences of a tire blowout are far more serious than a big car tire blowout. Although a tire blowout is unpredictable, 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. ,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 steering. 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. A distance of 40 meters! How many helpless lives will be included! We once checked for speeding on a road section with a speed limit of 70KM/H (we only recorded 110 kilometers), and a car actually ran 203KM/H. Looking at the photos, we all said this The driver will be reimbursed sooner or later. That is his life. It is in his hands and there is nothing others can do. Regarding speeding, I only have 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 if it’s a Japanese car or a European car. As long as there’s an accident due to speeding, you’ll 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 you wear a seat belt or not, the mortality rate of drivers and passengers is 100%! Remember, it is not 50%, nor 99%, it is 100%! For those driver friends who like to press the accelerator to the bottom as soon as they get on the highway, pray for your tires Just be safe and sound. 4. Is the safety inspection before driving still a problem caused by the tire blowout problem? This is a very accidental factor. You said you have a new car?

5. Highway markings, signs and warnings

I believe that many driver friends who often drive on the expressway will find that there are warning slogans and warning lights of this kind along the expressway from time to time. I didn’t pay attention to these things when I didn’t drive on the expressway, but after working on the expressway for several years, I became more aware of them. I deeply feel that in every "accident-prone road section, please drive with caution", when you see similar warning signs on the road, you must consciously reduce your speed and keep a distance between vehicles, and be prepared to deal with emergencies.

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 flow is small. Why do so many trucks stay up day and night? We often stay up all night for the police. Later, through chatting with the driver involved, I found out 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 makes it difficult for everyone to drive at night. This is a time when accidents are most likely to occur. As drivers and passengers of small cars, driving at night with large traffic and high density makes running "unsatisfactory". The most important thing is that most of the drivers of large cars who have been busy for a day are suspected of fatigue driving and have more certificates. A large proportion of driving irregularities and illegal driving are involved, causing greater safety hazards to driving. Moreover, the seat of the big car is high, and the high 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-dazzled state. Are you willing to be with such drivers along the way? Are you galloping?

7. Use flashing lights to remind you when overtaking

The highway is fast and noisy. The car in front of you cannot hear your car horn at all. When overtaking, you should switch between far and near. It is more useful to flash your lights to remind the other party; moreover, when you find that there are two or more large trucks in the 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. At that time, if you happen to run into him Next to you, you really have to leave it to fate. Believe me, half of those large trucks that change lanes to overtake are considered Amitabhas if they can even look in the rear mirror before changing lanes. What's more, you are a small car and it is not easy to be discovered. The car goes 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. Having said this, I think of the motorcycles and motor vehicles that often turn on their lights or use their high beams to meet other cars in the city at night. They think they can see the road and other cars clearly, but can others see them clearly? That's all They are selfish and inconsiderate people, and I have always despised these people.

8. Do not occupy emergency parking lanes in non-emergency situations. Emergency parking lanes, as the name suggests, are lanes that can only be used in emergencies.

9. Protect the scene? Ensure safety!

The expressway section under the jurisdiction of our brigade is about 170 kilometers. In the past, accidents had always been done in three shifts at a time. Later, with the increase in personnel and in order to In order to dispatch the police quickly (sometimes arriving at the scene ten minutes early may save a life), we divided into two accident police points, each with its own jurisdiction, but that's it, it takes two or three hours to go around in our own area.

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 be moved. However, no matter how we try to persuade on the phone, both parties refuse to do so. Move the car to the side of the road! We must go to the scene to "take pictures" before moving the car! It's 70 to 80 kilometers! The fastest it takes is 40 minutes and an hour! Sometimes, for the loss of 100 yuan, two cars cross each other The road is blocked and the road is blocked for more than ten kilometers! When I meet such a driver, I beat him hard! For your own slight benefit, you ignore the traffic police's advice and insist on going your own way. What if your vehicle is stuck on the road and causes a secondary accident? What to do? What should you do if your vehicle is 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. At that time, if the parties involved in the subsequent accident sue You, although you may not be legally responsible, you are 100% responsible for compensation! If an accident with minor property damage occurs on the highway, if there are no casualties, both parties have no objection to the cause, and the vehicle has the ability to move, you must Vehicles move and park in the emergency parking lane. Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone with a camera function. You can use your mobile phone to take two photos of the original scene before moving. Of course, it is best to communicate with the police on duty on the phone. Don’t worry. When encountering such a "moving scene", the highway accident traffic police will definitely not make things difficult for you!

10. After the accident

Of course, the above mentioned accidents are just simple minor financial losses. . If your vehicle is involved in a major property damage accident or even casualty accident on the highway, you must not move to the scene (except to rescue the injured). At this time, two more important things are involved: 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 practice on the highway in the past few years, no one involved will be "willing" to set the warning sign in place. Really! No one! Can put it fifty meters behind the car. I was impressed by the signs that were set up! I still remember that at midnight last summer, when an old lady 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 lane on the opposite side. Two large vehicles The four or five people involved in the truck just fell down or lay on the road behind the accident scene "as if nothing had happened". We were so frightened that we quickly tried to persuade them to get them out of the guardrail. Within three to five minutes, another person arrived. A large truck drove past the road where the person was lying just now and hit the accident scene three or four meters away in front of me! It would be a lie to say that my legs were not soft at that time. If we did not meet by chance on the road, but received an alarm call from the person involved Just showed up at the scene, then none of the four or five people behind the car will be left!

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

These two are They complement each other, why, don’t you understand? We have poor villagers outside the road every day picking up empty beverage bottles on the road, and they can’t catch them all. If you push him down from one end and turn around, he will go on the road again. This directly leads to a consequence: there are three to five cases of unknown corpses in our brigade every year. It is said that it is an unknown corpse because there is no vehicle at the scene, and some large trucks are not aware of scratching or hitting pedestrians at night. There are only mutilated, crushed and crushed bodies at the scene. Sometimes it is impossible to distinguish between men and women and can only be tested through DNA.

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. But can you bear it in your heart to use those small bottles to exchange for a life that is not rich but is fresh? When you roll down the window and throw away the waste, you may be an indirect murderer! Passengers who pass by, please stop going to the highway to stop and hitchhike! 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 it. At around one o'clock at 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. At first we suspected foul play. 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 not in good spirits. The surveillance at the toll booth showed that she was indeed walking on the highway alone. As for what she was going to do, no one knew.

12. Seat belts for safety

On the highway...people sitting in the back seat must wear seat belts!...This is often an issue that is easily overlooked. ...I have personally seen an SUV roll over at high speed...The driver was fine because he was wearing a seat belt...The two girls in the back seat were thrown out...They died on the spot! It's so KB! Now...just get in High speed... forcing everyone in the car to wear seat belts! This is a commonplace issue, and it is also an issue that many drivers and passengers disagree with. 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 they are minor injuries at most. The forensic examination determined that the death was caused by a fracture of the cervical vertebrae, all caused by the unrestricted movement of the body during the rollover. The second incident was also a one-sided car, and 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.
