What do novices need to pay attention to when driving in urban areas?

Novices are often unfamiliar with driving routes. When they go the wrong way, they immediately turn around and completely ignore the vehicles on both sides. This is very dangerous. Never turn around on a road with a solid line in the middle. Don't turn forcibly when there is a lot of traffic coming from the opposite side. The correct way is to turn around quickly when there is basically no car in the opposite lane and make sure there is no car coming behind.

Second, the intersection is slow.

Nowadays, many urban roads are paved by pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles in parallel, and there is no isolation pier between the opposite traffic, so it is difficult for novices to drive. Generally speaking, the closer to the intersection, the slower the speed of the vehicle will be. At this time, pedestrians and non-motor vehicles passing through the road will take advantage of the gap.

Third, overtake safely.

Overtaking must be done with confidence When the overtaking conditions are confirmed, you should turn on the left turn signal and sound the horn to signal (the emergency light will prompt you when overtaking at night), and you can overtake from the left side of the preceding vehicle only after the preceding vehicle gives way. After overtaking the preceding vehicle, you should not drive into the original driving route too early. After keeping a necessary safe distance from the overtaking, turn on the right turn signal and drive back to the original lane.

Fourth, keep the distance between cars.

Most urban traffic accidents are caused by rear-end collisions between front and rear vehicles. In order not to hit or be hit by someone, always pay attention to the speed of the front car and observe the dynamics of the rear car through the rearview mirror. After driving a certain distance, you should step on the brakes to remind the rear car to pay attention to the distance from the front car. Especially when driving at night, it is very practical to step on the brakes to prevent rear-end collision.

Fifth, slow down and turn.

When a high-speed car enters a curve, in order to avoid the car from tilting due to centrifugal force, the radian of the car's driving route should be reduced as much as possible to reduce centrifugal force. If the curve is sharp, the road is not wide, and there is no shortcut, the car is often difficult to control in the curve. The correct way is to lift the throttle to slow down before the curve, judge the curvature and road conditions of the curve, and refuel appropriately after entering the curve.

Sixth, the low gear under the bridge

Now many cities have built overpasses and elevated roads, and the gap between the upper and lower bridges is relatively large. Some people drive downhill, that is, slide in neutral, and step on the brakes when they see the car in front. This is very dangerous. The safe way is to hang in the low gear and slow down and slowly drive down the viaduct.

Seven, grab the red and not grab the green

Some drivers always like to speed up when they meet traffic lights. In the distance, when you see the green light, you try your best to refuel and accelerate. Often the green light turns red when you don't drive to the stop line at the intersection. When you see a green light in the distance, you'd better slow down and keep driving at a low speed to avoid changing the light. Therefore, "grab the red but not the green" can pass the intersection smoothly and safely with or without brakes.

Because the traffic in the urban area is very crowded, it is not suitable for driving fast, so drivers should keep driving at a constant speed, reduce braking and pay attention to pedestrians at traffic lights and zebra crossings. Actually, it's not difficult to drive in the city.
