Nowadays, the number of car owners in the city is growing, and many people choose to travel by car on holidays. But drivers should also pay attention to some details. People who rarely drive at ordinary times, after driving a long-distance bus for several hours in a row, will suffer from some minor ailments and pains due to inadaptability or inadequate preparation, and will also cause irreparable losses due to physical discomfort, dizziness and inattention.
Therefore, drivers should pay special attention to the following symptoms: when driving, keep the upper body upright and the waist muscles in the same state for a long time. Some people always like to use the same posture when driving. After a long time, one side of the waist muscles relaxes and the other side is overloaded, and the overloaded waist muscles are prone to spasm. In order to catch up with people who drive for three or four hours continuously, lumbar muscle strain is more likely to occur. After driving for about an hour, you should stop to have a rest, exercise your waist and relax your tense muscles. Cervical diseases
Drivers always look in one direction when driving, which easily leads to neck muscle spasm, because muscles and ligaments are in a state for a long time. Cervical muscle spasm can make the cervical intervertebral joint in an abnormal position, leading to slight dislocation of the cervical spine, compression and stimulation of nerves, and over time, discomfort such as head, shoulders and upper limbs will occur. People who are used to sitting in an office and do little exercise are more likely to have cervical vertebra problems when driving long-distance buses than athletes.
My eyes are tired. It is a great loss for the driver's eyes to focus on the front while driving, and at the same time pay attention to the road conditions behind the car from time to time in the rearview mirror. When eyes are tired, it is difficult to concentrate on things, and it is easy to have an accident, especially for some people who usually drive less. Abdominal distension, nausea, sitting and driving for a long time, the power of the stomach is reduced, the emptying ability is weakened, and people are prone to abdominal distension. Especially when you are full before driving, the feeling of bloating will be more obvious. When the road is bumpy, the car will shake violently and even get sick. In this case, getting off the bus and walking properly can reduce abdominal distension and discomfort, and at the same time try to eat less food rich in sugar, because the decomposition of sugar will produce stomach gas. Drinking too much coffee will affect your reaction ability.
Five ways to affect the driver's reaction ability;
Energetic and responsive is the key to ensure driving safety, and any behavior that negatively affects the driver's responsiveness is taboo:
First, irritating food.
Drinking is a no-no for driving, and drinking too much coffee will also weaken the reaction ability. Drivers should eat less of these irritating foods.
Second, don't drink water and hold your urine.
In order to reduce the trouble of going to the toilet after going on the road, some drivers try not to drink water before driving, and sometimes they would rather hold their urine than find a place to solve it. Experts emphasize that adequate water intake is necessary for the human body, and one of its functions is to maintain the normal circulation of the urinary system. Drivers drink less water and are afraid to go to the toilet. After a long time, urinary calculi will increase. At the same time, in the process of urination, the bladder load is aggravated, which will also distract attention.
Third, drive with an empty stomach.
The disadvantage of driving on an empty stomach is that people's blood sugar decreases when they are hungry, and to a certain extent, they will be dizzy, tired and inattentive, which directly affects their reaction ability and becomes a hidden danger of traffic accidents. Experts believe that drivers should not drive on an empty stomach. When necessary, they should prepare soda biscuits and other foods in the car and replenish them when they are hungry. Fourth, always turn on the air conditioner.
Many people have this experience: sitting in a closed air-conditioned carriage for a long time, feeling dizzy, disgusting, and even vomiting and other carsickness phenomena. Experts explained that this is because in this environment, the air is dirty and the oxygen content is low, so people are prone to carsickness and fatigue. Therefore, it is not advisable to keep the air conditioner on. You should open the window for a few minutes every once in a while to let the air circulate.
5. Drive when you have a cold.
Studies have shown that the driver's reaction ability will be reduced by 75% when it is cold. At the same time, taking chlorpheniramine and other compound cold medicines will make people's reactions worse and they love to doze off, which is also a big taboo for driving.
And female drivers need to pay attention to other details:
If it's long hair, it's best to tie it up or temporarily fix it when driving. This not only prevents traffic accidents caused by hair blocking the line of sight, but also avoids the air flow in the car blowing hair all over the sky after the window is opened, and the perfect image is destroyed by dust and sweat.
Also pay attention to the maintenance of hands, hands are the second face of women, and some women will get calluses on their hands because they hold the steering wheel for a long time. Therefore, to keep a pair of white and delicate hands, you should choose a car with power, or a car with a light steering wheel, and don't forget to go to the beauty salon for a hand care regularly.
What's more, girls who drive for a long time often worry about their body shape: their calves become thicker, their bellies become bigger, their hips become wider, and their arms are muscular, so they need to go to the gym to make up for it.
It is customary to turn on the air conditioner or warm air when it is hot or cold. In addition, women who are beginners in driving have not developed the habit of drinking water regularly. If you stay in the dry environment in the car for a long time, your skin will be dull, lack of water and have large pores. If you want to keep your skin moist in this environment, you must apply some moisturizing and skin care cosmetics.
