As a veteran driver with more than 20 years of driving experience, I often drive on the highway and also often drive on long-distance highways of more than 2,000 kilometers one way. I have gained a lot of experience in safe driving on highways. Novice drivers have less driving experience and are prone to panic when encountering unexpected situations.
They should not be blindly confident and try not to drive on the highway. Experienced drivers should always be vigilant when driving on the highway, especially at the following nodes: from a human point of view. The first and most important point is to be highly focused while driving, that is, never slip away.
Don't drive when you're tired, or you'll lose your speed. I suggest that when running on the highway, it is better not to listen to **, talk to each other, especially heavy topics, which will distract you. As long as you are a full-fledged driver, your driving skills are not the most important.
Do you know the "Ghost Car Accident" column reported by CCTV a few years ago?It seems to be on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway in Shaoguan, Guangdong (I can't remember exactly). It was a gentle curve, not too sharp, and many vehicles rushed out and flew off the cliffs. Hundreds of accidents were caused, hundreds of people died. At most, more than 40 cases occurred in a month.
Journalists and the transportation department went to investigate the cause of the bizarre car accident. To catch the eye, **also add some supernatural**. It's as if there really are innocent souls there. Subsequently, experts from the transport department came here to conduct a field survey and concluded that one or two kilometers ahead of this place was a long downhill road of more than 20 kilometers.
Many vehicles slow down after braking on a long downhill slope, causing the brake pads to overheat. Here they brake. Performance is severely degraded. The speed of the car is very fast, and the corners here are a bit sharp. Many people failed their brakes and fell straight off the cliff. With no survivors, the cause of the accident could not initially be investigated.
Highway ramp entrance: Generally, the speed of cars on the ramp is about 40 per hour, while the speed on the highway is more than 100 kilometers per hour. So, when the car just enters the highway, it is out of sync with other vehicles. This is a very dangerous state. You have to increase your speed to the same speed as other vehicles as soon as possible.
There is one kind of person that I fear the most. When entering the highway, he was reluctant to step on the gas. The car slowly accelerated, and other cars sped past him. He was like a huge obstacle blocking the way. This is extremely dangerous. So when I enter the highway from the ramp, I always hang fourth gear and floor oil.
Let the car increase the speed to more than 100 km/h at the fastest speed. Someone once questioned me why I was using fourth gear. When the speed exceeds 60 per hour, you should shift into fifth gear. In fact, he simply didn't understand that shifting the car to fourth gear would make the car accelerate faster, and shifting to fifth gear would accelerate much slower.
The entrance and exit of the service area and the entrance and exit of the service area are also accident-prone places. Just like at a highway ramp exit, some people want to enter the service area when they see it when overtaking in the passing lane, and turn there without thinking. It is very dangerous if you encounter a car, and it is also a high-risk area that is prone to accidents. The same goes for places that come out of the service area.
Some vehicles rush straight to the main lane before they can finish accelerating on the ramp. A slow car is the equivalent of an obstacle on the highway. At this time, if the car behind fails to avoid it, there will be a certain risk of collision. I think it's quite dangerous to just enter the tunnel section during the day, especially in an unlit tunnel and it's sunny outside.
If you suddenly enter a tunnel with no lights, your eyes will not be able to adjust for about a second or two. It's basically a state of blindness. Even with the headlights on, you can't see anything at all. All in all, the popularity of automobiles in China is increasing, but the car culture of safe and civilized driving still needs time to accumulate. Everyone should start with themselves and do their part to create a good driving environment.
