It's time to have a holiday, it's time to buy new year's goods, and relatives are not idle. Take your wife and children and drive home for the New Year!
But at this time, there will always be some outstanding situations, which will make people who go home anxious and helpless. If you are also worried that you will encounter some unexpected accidents when driving home during the Spring Festival, you may wish to read this article first, which may help you avoid a lot of trouble!
One: Car condition inspection is just like physical examination, which can find problems in time and avoid catastrophe.
It is important to check the condition of the car before driving home. Especially on the highway, the speed is high, and if there are problems such as tire puncture, it is likely to lead to the vehicle out of control. Therefore, car buyers suggest that riders check the vehicles, especially the tires, before departure.
At present, many models are equipped with tire pressure monitoring function as standard, and the owner can monitor tire pressure at any time during driving. In addition, pay attention to the wear and tear of tires. Tires used for more than 3 years are prone to small cracks and puncture at high speed. If the square at the groove on the tire surface is almost equal to the tread, it means that the tire should also be replaced to avoid accidents at high speed.
There are antifreeze, glass water, engine oil and so on. If you can't self-check, you can also go to the 4S shop for maintenance inspection, which is more reassuring.
Two: Do you have all the necessary emergency tools for long-distance driving?
Most people who drive home basically have to travel through two or three provinces to get home, and some unusual car conditions will inevitably occur for thousands of kilometers. For example, if the battery is dead and needs wiring, or if the vehicle has problems and needs to stop temporarily, or if you want to return from the warm south to the snowy north, you have to walk in the snow.
When buying a car, it is suggested to put some necessary emergency tools in the car, such as tow rope, battery cord (dragon crossing the river) or starting power supply for the car, car pump, flashlight, fire extinguisher, triangle warning frame, reflective vest, etc. The trunk is not just for new year's goods!
If you want to pass in the snow, you'd better prepare snow tires or snow chains in advance.
Triangular warning frames and reflective vests are used when the vehicle breaks down or a rear-end collision occurs. Put a triangle warning frame at the rear of the vehicle150m, and put on a reflective vest to remind the rear vehicle to pay attention.
When the vehicle battery is dead, another vehicle can be used to connect the positive and negative poles of the charging line to the positive and negative poles of the two vehicles respectively. After the line is erected, vehicles with electricity can start to step on empty oil, and vehicles without electricity can also try to ignite at this time to restart the vehicles without electricity.
Unexpected situations are inevitable, but some emergency tools can help us get out of trouble. Just like when you are not used to eating when traveling abroad, you can feel much more comfortable when you have diarrhea. First-aid medicines and tools are essential, which is better than lying on the road.
Three: a long way to go. What else should we prepare?
Every year in Spring Festival travel rush, there are all kinds of news that make people laugh and cry. When there was a traffic jam, all the "anecdotes" came out. What kind of high-speed selling fried powder earns thousands of dollars, and the aunts collectively dance square dances at high speed, playing cards and singing. When the traffic jam is serious, the whole family is very helpless. Children are hungry, the sudden drop in temperature is not enough to keep warm, and it is easy to doze off while driving ... In the final analysis, they are not fully prepared before going out.
Due to the traffic jam, it is expected that most of the trip will be extended to one or two days. Suddenly the temperature drops, and the rain and snow weather are unpredictable. Prepare more dry food in the car, put a few bottles of refreshing drinks, put more warm clothes and blankets, or prepare thermos bottles for the baby to make milk powder, and prepare some snacks for the children to calm their emotions. If necessary, there are "convenient" secret weapons in the car.
Make full preparations in advance, and the road home will be smoother.
Four: "Drink without driving, drive without drinking", don't take chances.
At the end of the year, there are more annual meetings and social activities. In many cases, I can't avoid drinking, but I want to go home immediately after the holiday the next day? Car buyers advise you not to drive the next day after drinking.
Generally speaking, alcohol can not be completely decomposed until it enters the body for 24 hours. If you drank wine the night before, you are likely to be caught drunk the next day. Moreover, driving after drinking makes it difficult to concentrate, which may easily lead to traffic accidents. For the safety of yourself, your family and others, remember to "drink without driving, and drive without drinking".
According to the relevant regulations, the driving behavior of vehicle drivers whose blood alcohol content is more than or equal to 20mg/ 100ml and less than 80mg/ 100ml belongs to drunk driving, and the driving behavior with alcohol content greater than or equal to 80mg/ 100ml belongs to drunk driving. Drunk driving requires a six-month motor vehicle driver's license to be temporarily suspended and a fine of more than 1,000 yuan and less than 2,000 yuan. Drunk driving means revoking the motor vehicle driver's license, and criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law, and the motor vehicle driver's license shall not be re-obtained within five years.
Five: Bad driving habits such as slow driving in the fast lane and random interspersed should be changed.
We all know that we should pay attention to safety when driving, and we should not drive too fast. However, car buyers should remind that it is not always necessary to drive slowly, especially in the fast lane, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. General speed limit in the fast lane 100- 120. In order to ensure safety, some novice drivers only drive at 80-90 per hour in the fast lane, and the rear vehicles are likely to be found approaching. At this time, if they don't have time to slow down, it's easy to rear-end them.
Not only that, if multiple lanes have been run over by low-speed vehicles, it is also prone to ghost blocking. Therefore, it is not recommended to drive slowly or too fast under any circumstances. Drive in a civilized way and ensure safe driving.
In addition, bad driving habits such as random interspersed should also be corrected. Many times, the traffic jam ahead is due to the rear-end collision caused by congestion, and finally the expressway is seriously congested. Other vehicles occupy the emergency lane, further hindering the rescue. Everyone is in anxious to return, so pay more attention to safety.
It is a pleasure to drive home for the New Year. Be prepared in advance, drive safely, and get home as soon as possible. As for planning the route before going out, avoiding thousands of years of congestion and buying a car, I won't say much. I wish you all a happy Spring Festival!
