Safety knowledge you must know on highways

Safety knowledge you must know on highways

1. Drive strictly in accordance with the speed limit and keep a distance between vehicles

The maximum speed limit on my country's highways is basically 120 kilometers .

Driving strictly in accordance with the speed limit on the highway can not only avoid unnecessary fines for traffic violations, but more importantly, it can save your life - authoritative data has confirmed that if a tire blows out at a speed of more than 160 kilometers per hour, the mortality rate is almost 100% !

From a safety perspective, you must abide by the speed limit when driving.

In addition to driving according to the speed limit, it is also necessary to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

This safe distance can be simply understood as equivalent to the vehicle speed: when the vehicle speed is 100km/h, the safe distance is more than 100 meters; when the vehicle speed is within 100km/h, the safe distance is quite a lot. at 50 meters.

2. The speed range of each lane is different, and it is illegal to drive at too low speed

The lane settings of expressways range from two lanes to four lanes in the same direction.

Friends need to pay attention to the fact that the speed range of each lane of the highway is actually different.

Don’t think that speeding on the highway is a violation. Speeding too low is also a violation, and it is also very dangerous. If the car behind loses its soul and is too late to brake to avoid it, the consequences of a rear-end accident will be It’s unimaginable...

3. The emergency lane cannot be occupied in non-emergency situations

The emergency lane is reserved for vehicles of special types of work, such as ambulances, police cars, fire trucks, etc. for emergency use Yes, arbitrary occupation will affect the passage of these vehicles, which will waste time and lives.

During driving, unless the driver has a physical illness that prevents him from driving normally or the vehicle malfunctions during driving, such as tire blowout, fuel exhaustion, brake failure, loss of steering control, etc., he cannot drive. , or will cause serious harm to driving, the car can be parked in the emergency lane and wait for rescue.

In addition to causing congestion for other vehicles, 6 points will be deducted for occupying the emergency lane without reason, and a fine of 200 yuan will also be imposed.

4. When entering a tunnel, be sure to turn on the low beam headlights

When driving during the day, the bright lights will dim instantly when entering the tunnel. At this time, the human eye will often have difficulty adapting in a short period of time. Therefore, before entering the tunnel, you should reduce your speed, increase the distance between the vehicles, and turn on the low beam lights at the same time. Maintain a relatively slow speed and safely enter the tunnel. Generally, tunnels have clear speed limit signs. You can follow the speed limit prompts in front of the tunnel. travel.

But in fact, many car owners do not have this correct awareness. There are many drivers who plunge into tunnels without turning on the lights.

5. Do not follow or stay close to large trucks for a long time

Large trucks are huge and have large blind spots in the driving field of vision. They are like a "behemoth" when driving on the highway. When we encounter a large truck on the highway, it is best to avoid it.

It makes sense to avoid large trucks as much as possible. Many rear-end collisions on highways are caused by brake failure of large trucks, and they are often car accidents with heavy casualties.

Since we can’t afford to offend large trucks, we’d better avoid them as much as possible, especially on the highway. The further away from them, the further away from danger.

6. Only change one lane every time you change lanes

Many friends know when they are studying for the driving test: every time they change lanes, they can only change one lane. Doing so is both polite and a skill for safe driving.

At the ramp section of the highway, we often see brutal lane changes across two lanes.

Sometimes I see other vehicles braking suddenly to avoid these brutal lane-changers. This situation is really dangerous. You need to drive properly on the highway.

7. Do not park in the diversion lines at ramp intersections

On expressways, the diversion lines at ramp intersections are often regarded as "parking areas to read street signs". The car came to a stop without any regard for the potential rear-end collision.

Unless there is a vehicle breakdown or accident, vehicles are not allowed to park on the highway lanes at any time.

Novice friends should pay special attention to this issue. Do your homework before getting on the expressway and confirm the ramp and exit information to avoid a car accident due to hesitation and distraction, which is not worth the gain.

8. Pay attention when entering the lane from the ramp

Some novice friends drive on the highway. When entering the highway from the ramp, they don’t care whether there is a car coming from behind. Jump onto the carriageway.

This operation will either scare the car coming from behind to death, or scare yourself to death, and may also lead to a tragic collision.

9. It is dangerous to back up if you miss the exit

Although the exit information signs on the highway are very conspicuous, drivers will inevitably miss the exit.

In case we miss the highway exit, we can only continue to the next exit and exit the highway.

10. Fatigue driving can easily lead to traffic accidents

Driving a vehicle for a long time, the movement is subject to certain restrictions, and the spirit is in a state of high tension, which is prone to blurred eyes, low back pain, Fatigue phenomena such as slow reaction.

If you continue to drive a vehicle, your judgment will decline and you may become trance-like, which can easily lead to a traffic accident. Therefore, when driving long distances, you must rest for more than 20 minutes after driving continuously for 4 hours, and try not to drive late at night.

Summary:

A novice driver who lacks driving experience can easily cause serious traffic accidents if he is not careful. Therefore, experienced drivers who have been driving for a long time should be more cautious when driving at high speeds. Therefore, friends need to know and understand the 10 safety knowledge mentioned above by Lun Gu, develop good driving habits, avoid accidents, and ensure highway driving safety.
