What are the experiences worth sharing in highway driving?

1。 How do you know if you are walking in the middle of the driveway? Novices often adjust the steering wheel because of the high speed, because they are always not sure whether they are walking in the middle of the lane. In fact, the method is very simple: when your right foot is in the throttle position, it is only a dozen centimeters away from the left side of the center line of the car. So if you feel your right foot in the middle of the driveway, then your car is basically in the middle of the driveway.

2。 From the ramp to the expressway: observe the traffic on the expressway in advance, estimate where you are going to be stuck, then look at the length of the ramp and the speed of the traffic, and leave yourself enough time and distance to accelerate, so that when you get into the traffic, your speed is almost the same as that of the traffic, so that you can get into the high-speed traffic safely and easily. When a novice takes a high-speed ramp, he is often nervous and slowly rubs forward on the ramp, leaving himself insufficient acceleration distance and time. Finally, the traffic may be 80~ 100 km/h, and he/she suddenly joins the traffic at the end of the ramp at 10 km/h! This is extremely dangerous.

3。 What about a high-speed puncture? A friend of mine stepped on the brakes when he had a flat tire at high speed, and the car suddenly lost control and rolled over! He usually pays attention to wearing his seat belt, but he didn't wear it that day! Originally, no matter how the body of a European car rolled, the roof would not collapse. But he was thrown out of the car because he didn't wear a seat belt and died unfortunately. On board 1 passenger paraplegia.

When a flat tire occurs, the most natural conditioned reflex is to brake in order to pull over. But braking is the most dangerous choice: my friend is a lesson when the brakes are slammed! Someone suggested "take it easy, take it easy". The question is, at that moment, where do you care about "I can only use three components, not seven components"? Moreover, when you have a flat tire, your car will soon lean to the flat tire side, and at the same time, the speed will also decrease rapidly. If you step on the brakes to slow down, it is very easy to cause rear-end collision. A car with a flat tire is hard to control. If the rear car touches you again, your car will be completely out of control! Even if there is no danger of rear-end collision or out of control, how can you safely cross several lanes and move to the emergency parking lane after a flat tire brake slows down for tens of kilometers?

So the correct advice is never to step on the brakes, but just the opposite:

Hold the steering wheel with both hands to control the driving direction;

After controlling the direction (not before), step on the accelerator immediately (your car sank a lot because of the resistance of that flat tire) and try to maintain high speed;

Turn on the double flash.

With a higher speed, you can hope to cross the traffic safely as soon as possible and stop in the emergency parking lane. If there is no emergency parking lane, move to the slow lane (never stop) and stick to the next exit or the section with emergency parking lane before stopping. The vehicle may be damaged, so you can only admit it, at least it is much less than the cost of your high-speed collision.

I once had a flat tire on the highway, and it was the left front wheel, which was much more dangerous than a flat tire. At that time, the speed was about 70 miles per hour/1 13 kilometers, and there were many large trucks on the road. After that friend's accident, I asked several professional old drivers about the flat tire, and their suggestions were all those mentioned above. Twenty years later, I also passed the crucial dozens of seconds safely.

4。 How to change lanes/lanes: Look in the mirror, turn on two lights, and turn back quickly at the last minute before changing lanes to prevent the car from being in the blind spot of the mirror. Fourth, pay attention to the speed: if there is a car behind you in the new lane, you must first ensure that you keep enough distance from it when changing lanes. After entering the new lane, you need to be slightly faster than the rear car to avoid the rear car having to brake and slow down because you are merging. This is not only driving courtesy, but also to avoid rear-end collision.

5。 Whether it's a driver or a car, it's best to form a habit: as long as the car is on the road, put your head on the pillow at the top of the back of the car. When a car rear-ends, even if the speed difference between you and the car behind you is only ten or twenty kilometers, as long as your head is suspended at the moment of impact and you don't lean on the back of the chair, you can have a concussion! If the rear car is faster, it's really hard to say-at least a few tons of iron bumps hit at a speed of tens of kilometers. How much does it affect the back of the head? One rainy day, I waited for the red light at the intersection. An engineering truck full of cement and steel bars failed to stop and hit me from behind, and my car was knocked out several meters. Fortunately, I saw it in the mirror at the last minute, so I quickly leaned my head back. My head was not hung, and I was not injured at all.

Supplementary information about puncture:

I have seen the video warning "Don't slam on the brakes when you have a flat tire, but step on it slowly or continuously (point-release-point-release)", but I think the key is:

1。 Can you master the weight of the brake during the period of 0.0 1 second of high-speed tire puncture? How much is light and how much is heavy? If you decide to brake, before 1 and 2 seconds, the life and death of you and the whole car is only between the weight of this brake;

2。 If the speed exceeds100km per hour on the expressway, do you want to park your car in the middle of the traffic? Parked in front of countless large trucks with a speed of 100 km? Are there very few people who stop in the middle of the road because of accidents on the expressway, so they die and hurt others at the same time?

3。 If you really want to stop as soon as possible after a flat tire, you don't have to risk stepping on the brakes: as long as it's not steep downhill and there is no car in front, you just have to hold the steering wheel tightly and turn on the double flash without braking or stepping on the accelerator-after a flat tire, the resistance of the car suddenly increases, and even if you don't step on the brakes, the car will automatically slow down and stop soon. If you stop naturally at high speed without braking, it will give more reaction time to the vehicles behind you and reduce the risk of "kissing you" when the vehicles behind you rear-end. But think about it: whether you stay in the car after parking or go out to the side of the road, it is very dangerous. Maybe you can only sit in the car, fasten your seat belts, and make sure everyone has their heads firmly on the back pillow, ready to be hit by someone from the back or side (chain) at any time.
