In modern society, the car has become an important tool connecting our life and work, and road traffic is the artery of the car. On this artery, the role of speed bumps as a universal traffic management measure is self-evident. In daily driving, many drivers have misunderstandings about how to properly pass speed bumps, thinking that it is safest to apply the brakes when approaching speed bumps, and this "common sense" may actually be a "car destruction operation".
The maintenance and maintenance of automobiles is directly related to a country's consumer spending, resource allocation and environmental burden. In 2023, the average expenditure on vehicle maintenance and repair is continuing**, accounting for a large portion of household spending. Correct driving Xi is particularly important, especially when it comes to speed bumps, which can directly affect the health of the vehicle and maintenance costs. The wrong way to cross speed bumps and its hazards Many drivers Xi applying the brakes when approaching speed bumps, thinking that this will reduce the impact of the vehicle. If the brake is applied at the moment when the tire touches the speed bump, the friction between the tire and the speed bump will be aggravated, which will not only increase tire wear, but also cause a greater impact on the suspension system. If a sudden brake passes through a speed bump, it can also cause damage to the car's electronic equipment due to impact.
These damages can unknowingly increase the frequency and cost of repairs to a car, and in 2023, frequent replacement of parts and repairs could increase vehicle maintenance costs by 20% to 30%. The correct way to cross the speed bump is compared to the wrong method, and the correct way to pass the speed bump should follow the following points: First, slow down in advance before approaching the speed bump to reduce the speed of the vehicle to a safe range. Whenever possible, release the brakes before the tires make contact with the speed bump and use the vehicle's own gravity and inertia to pass through the speed bump. Both wheels pass over speed bumps at the same time to avoid all the pressure on one wheel;Finally, use the throttle wisely and pass through speed bumps at a steady speed. Implementing these tips will not only reduce damage to the vehicle, but also improve driving safety and comfort. The Importance of Passing Speed Bumps Correctly During DrivingPassing speed bumps correctly during driving is crucial. One clear proof is that 2023 car insurance statistics show that drivers who adhere to proper driving Xi spend 5% to 10% less on vehicle insurance than those with poor driving Xi habits.
This shows that insurance companies also recognize the importance of correct driving Xi to reduce accident rates and vehicle losses. Correct driving skills can also effectively reduce energy consumption, and the correct passage of speed bumps can improve fuel efficiency by about 1% to 2%, which has a non-negligible role in national energy conservation and environmental pollution. In driving, speed bumps are both a warning and a protection. Passing speed bumps correctly not only extends the service life of the vehicle, reduces maintenance costs, but also improves driving safety and economy. As a driver, you should develop good driving Xi and pay attention to every detail. It's not just about being responsible for yourself, it's about contributing to your family and society. Only in this way can we ensure that while the economy is growing rapidly, our travel is safer, the environment is more livable, and our lives are better.
