Looking forward to, looking forward to, the Spring Festival holiday is coming, and it will be holiday time in a few days, and many friends should decide to return to their hometowns by car! Brother Horn wants to say that no matter how much you want to be reunited with your family, safety always comes first! So, what should you pay attention to when driving long distances? What should I prepare? Next, Brother Horn will talk about it, I hope it can help you.
A comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, especially for those who need to run long distances, a detailed vehicle inspection is particularly necessary. First of all, the oil needs to be checked. Observe the color of the oil, if the color is tan, it needs to be replaced; If it is yellow and has good fluidity, it does not need to be replaced.
Secondly, check the state of the battery, in order to avoid the battery due to insufficient charge and "strike", it is best to ignite the engine to work before turning on the lights, radios and other electrical appliances when starting, and turn off various electrical appliances when parking, and then turn off the engine.
Again, see if the antifreeze is adequate. Especially in the north, you should try to choose antifreeze with a lower freezing point, the lower its freezing point, the stronger the antifreeze resistance. Also check the lights, including headlights, turn signals, brake lights, reversing lights, and fog lights.
Finally, the inspection of the tire is also very necessary, pay attention to the depth of the tread, the aging degree of the tire, and whether there is any bump damage, if the problem is serious, it must be replaced in time. Brother Horn emphasized that the spare tire must also remember to check, and don't wait until it is used to be annoyed.
In addition to the above checks, it is also necessary to plan the route in advance, so that you can not only reasonably avoid congestion, but also choose a route with fewer cars; You can also plan your driving and rest time. Avoid taking the wrong road and making the wrong highway, increasing unnecessary trips and costs!
When starting, if the vehicle cannot be ignited normally, it should be started again at an interval of about 30 seconds to 1 minute, and continuous ignition should not be avoided. As a member of the journey, no matter where you are located, always fasten your seatbelt when seated, and remember to sit in the child seat. In case of snow, it is best to wear UV-protected tinted protective glasses to prevent the diffuse reflection of the snow on the sun from stabbing your eyes.
Do not wear high heels and snow boots when driving, as this will seriously affect driving safety. After driving for 2-3 hours, you can rest for about 20 minutes, get out of the car and walk around, not only to stretch your muscles, but also to adjust your driving state to avoid fatigue driving. Always pay attention to the reasonable use of lights on the road to avoid affecting other vehicles.
The road surface is dry and cold in winter, and it is easy to freeze after rain and snow, so when we drive or corner, we must slow down and keep enough safe distance from the car in front. If you need to slow down, you can reduce the speed of the vehicle by hanging low gear with the help of the deceleration effect of the engine, and you can not step on the brakes or slam the brakes in neutral gear, and you can use the point brake to reduce the speed.
Do not get out of the car or stop at high speeds, because some vehicles will occupy the emergency lane while driving, and if you happen to stop there at this time, it is easy to collide and cause accidents. If the vehicle is driving and has a breakdown, when you must stop in the emergency lane, you must place the warning triangle 250 meters behind the car (about 300 steps for adults), and evacuate to the guardrail.
In the event of an accident, you must calm down, and the ** at the scene of the accident must be kept. After the accident, remember to collect the corresponding claim materials, such as the claim application, traffic accident certificate, traffic accident compensation mediation, car repair invoice, etc., it should be noted that if it is a different place, you should consult the local claims adjuster, ask for a standard format of the damage assessment form certificate.
Brother Horn hopes that everyone can safely embark on the road home, be sure to drive cautiously, and get home safely for a good year.
