Beginners driving skills on the road
1. Follow the car
Car-following works on a variety of roads, especially at night. What to do: No other cars will jump in the queue at will, but also maintain a sufficient safety distance from the car in front, pay special attention to the sudden braking of the car in front, and the distance between the car without ABS and the car in front should be longer.
2. Use the horn
When overtaking, if you cannot pay attention to the intention of the car in front, you can honk the horn to remind the driver in front to pay attention to safety. At the same time, you should also honk the horn when driving into a sharp bend, the top of a ramp and other road sections that affect the safe line of sight, or in an emergency.
3. Plan the driving route
"I missed those traffic signs inadvertently and made me go all the way."
Every time a driver goes the wrong way, she will say that she knows how to go from A to B and A to C, but does not know how to go from B to C. Many newbies have a headache when they are familiar with the road, especially when they encounter complex roads such as overpasses and intersections, many people do not know how to go, even if they have walked several times, they do not remember the road.
Therefore, when a novice is driving on the road, while observing the road conditions, he should also pay more attention to the traffic signs on the side of the road. There are traffic warning signs near some intersections and overpasses, and these should be consciously recorded in the mind. If you are afraid of not being able to remember, you can record it on paper. Once you pass this road again, there will be a feeling of deja vu. When people in the car show you the way, pay more attention and don't just follow the directions mechanically.
4. Use headlights
Learn to use fog lights, position lights, low beams, high beams and turn signals correctly, not only to illuminate the road for yourself, but more importantly to let other drivers see your car and take corresponding measures in advance.
5. Learn to read traffic signs
Some experienced drivers will also often cause violation fines because they don't pay attention to traffic signs, so they feel very headache: "I often walk to the emergency stop belt or pressure diversion belt because I don't pay attention to traffic signs, so I violate the rules. It has been photographed several times." This is the most important issue for newcomers who have just obtained a license.
Because novices have no personal experience with traffic signs, even if they have studied traffic law, they will easily violate traffic signs. In order to facilitate the observation of traffic signs, novice drivers should pay attention to the signs set on the side of the road and above the road when driving, and then drive after clarifying the meaning of the traffic signs. When driving to the front of the intersection, you should slow down in advance, pay attention to the traffic signs on the road and the intersection ahead, and choose your own driving route correctly.
6. Step on the accelerator
The principle is to be gentle. The most fuel-consuming part of driving is the acceleration phase, and slow acceleration can offset fuel consumption with time. Gentle driving is good for yourself, others, the vehicle, safety, passenger comfort, and the driver's state of mind.
7. Judge in advance
Judging the driving route of surrounding vehicles, judging the conditions of surrounding vehicle drivers (such as whether they are novice, whether they are paying attention), and predicting suspicious colors or objects that may appear ahead.
8. Pay attention to obstructions
Various objects on the road will affect the line of sight, blocking the driver's line of sight, making it impossible to judge the situation behind the blocker. At this time, we must slow down and be prepared to take emergency measures at any time to prevent accidents.
9. Turn
Receiving oil before a curve and accelerating in a curve are the basic methods of turning; while concentrating and observing in all directions are the basic principles to ensure driving safety. In addition, it is necessary to prevent understeer or oversteer, as well as side slip or tail drift that may occur on special road surfaces.
10. Use the rearview mirror skillfully
In order to minimize the blind spot of vision, learn to adjust the rearview mirror. When driving, in addition to concentrating and looking ahead, you should also observe the left, right and center rearview mirrors more, and pay attention to the driving intentions of surrounding vehicles.
11. Look in the mirror to judge the distance
Many novices can accurately judge the following distance, but it is more difficult to judge the distance and position of the vehicle behind. This is often prone to problems when overtaking and merging. Therefore, it is very important to learn to look in the mirror to judge the distance between vehicles.
The three small mirrors on the left, center and right of the car are used to expand the driver's field of vision. The purpose is to let you know the surrounding situation and your position in time. When driving normally, even if driving in a straight line, you should look around the three small mirrors at least once within 45 seconds "irregularly". Of course, this is based on the premise of not ignoring the situation ahead.
12. In the face of meeting cars, look at two counts and three slow
In the process of driving, the meeting of up and down vehicles is called a meeting vehicle. Many novices are afraid of meeting a car. In order to avoid these situations, novices must first overcome their nervousness and fear psychologically and face the car meeting easily.
To meet the car correctly, you should prepare well in advance to avoid the psychological panic and the rush of operation when you meet the car. To this end, before meeting a car, you should take a look at two and calculate three slow times:
At a glance, look at the vehicle type, speed and loading situation of the oncoming vehicle, the width of the road ahead, the situation of passing vehicles, the situation of pedestrians and vehicles on the roadside, the situation of roadside parking and obstacles, etc.;
The second calculation is to estimate the approximate position and road occupation of the two vehicles when they meet through observation and comparison, so as to leave a suitable lateral safety interval;
The third is slow, that is, slow down the speed of the car when meeting, and control the speed of the car when the conditions are not good when approaching the intersection.
Cars should also pay attention to the regulations on giving way, and give way in a timely and reasonable manner. On roads with no street lights or poor lighting at night, when passing vehicles, turn off the high beams and switch to low beams.
