What should you pay attention to when driving in spring?

We have just entered the season change, and it is true that many drivers have not fully adapted to the arrival of spring, making people feel restless and uneasy, resulting in lack of attention when driving. Recently, the highway traffic police discovered that the frequency of some minor traffic accidents was significantly higher than before. The highway traffic police summarized the illegal behaviors frequently committed by some drivers and reminded car owners to pay attention to the following matters when driving in spring.

Beware of "spring sleep"

For drivers who often run on the highway, "spring sleep" can be described as a "chronic disease". In spring, the days become longer and the nights become shorter, resulting in sleep deprivation. In addition, the cab is warm and comfortable in the sun, making the driver prone to sleepiness. "Spring sleepiness" is the "number one killer" of accidents in spring, which mainly leads to reduced driver adaptability, slow response, and frequent misjudgments. In order to prevent "spring sleepiness", the highway traffic police introduced some methods to prevent spring sleepiness. First, go to bed early and get up early to ensure sleep; pay attention to keeping the cab ventilated and keeping the air fresh, otherwise harmful gases such as carbon dioxide will increase, which will contribute to the occurrence of spring sleepiness; the other is to strengthen exercise, adjust your diet, and do not drink before driving.

Focus on

As the weather gets warmer, more and more vehicles are out sightseeing. Some private cars drive at high speeds and are accustomed to stopping to view places with beautiful scenery, resulting in vehicles being parked haphazardly without any warning signs. Some drivers tend to ignore road signs, especially private cars. Many drivers don't look at the road sign when driving on the highway, only to notice it when they pass the intersection below it, or even take the risk of turning around and reversing. The accident rate is extremely high. Although it takes a few seconds or tens of seconds to turn around and reverse, it may cost your life. The Provincial Highway Traffic Police Detachment reminds drivers and passengers: Do not park at will on the highway. When driving, you must pay attention to highway road signs. If you really don't read the sign, don't turn around and go back. You can turn around at the next exit, which will clear the highway and ensure safety. Spring is the peak season for everyone to go out and play. The traffic police department reminds drivers that only by driving a safe car, taking a safe road, and obeying traffic laws can you have fun and have fun.

Vehicle maintenance

Seasonal maintenance is especially important for vehicles. Many car owners do not pay attention to vehicle maintenance. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Vehicle maintenance professionals also remind drivers that in spring, vehicle maintenance mainly focuses on paint, chassis, radiator, engine oil, battery, tires, air conditioning adjustment, etc. , and check the car chassis at the same time. Examples include drain switches for disassembling and cleaning cylinders and radiators. Clean the engine water jacket, remove scale from the cooler, and test and adjust the efficiency of the thermostat. If the engine oil used in your car is not suitable, you should replace the winter lubricant (or lubricant used in low-temperature areas) of the engine, transmission, steering gear and rear axle with summer lubricant. Check the battery to see if it has enough charge. Tires, like human feet, are one of the hardest parts during travel, so it is necessary to perform a systematic overhaul of the car's tires, preferably a four-wheel alignment.
