Judging the distance between the front of the vehicle and the pedestrian or vehicle in front of it is a crucial skill. Many novice drivers worry that they will not be able to accurately judge the distance, which may lead to traffic accidents. But don't worry, today we're going to share some practical tips to help you easily judge the distance between the front of your car and the pedestrian in front of you, so that you can be more comfortable driving.
First of all, let's be clear: driving is not just a technical job, it's an art. It requires us to constantly explore and summarize in practice, and finally find the most suitable driving method for ourselves. In this process, the ability to judge the distance between the front of the car and the pedestrian in front of it is a very important skill.
So, how do you determine the distance between the front of the car and the pedestrian in front of you? Actually, it's not as complicated as it seems. We can use some of the inherent features of the vehicle as a reference point, such as the hood, wheels, etc. When we look through the hood and see the soles of the pedestrians in front of us approaching the ground, the distance between the front of the car and the pedestrians in front of us is about 3 meters. This distance is safe enough for a general driving scenario.
Of course, in actual driving, we also need to make adjustments according to different situations. For example, in the market or in a crowded place, we need to be more cautious about the distance due to the relatively narrow space. At this point, we can lower our gaze to see the pedestrian's ankles, which is about 2 meters away from the front of the car when it is level with the hood.
In addition to judging the distance between the front of the car and the pedestrian in front of us, we also need to learn to judge the distance between the vehicle and the side of the road when turning. Many novices are always worried about running into pedestrians or obstacles on the side of the road when turning, but this can be overcome through practice and observation. When cornering, we can focus on a fixed point on the front of the car, such as the front of the hood or the position of the wheels, and judge the distance between the vehicle and the curb by looking at the relative position of this point to the roadside obstacle.
In addition to the above basic tips, there are some other things to keep in mind. For example, it is necessary to maintain a moderate speed to avoid making mistakes in judgment due to being too fast or too slow; At the same time, it is important to stay focused and always pay attention to the road conditions and pedestrian movements ahead.
