The first brother is the one who knows how to drive the most, and it's inevitable that you'll encounter stumbles at first. But don't be discouraged, everyone is a rookie. Here, we will teach new drivers ten points of attention, to a certain extent, to ensure the safety of you and your car.
Steps/methods
1. Stick "internship" sign according to the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau last week, from September 1 onwards, all the drivers in the internship period of driving a motor vehicle, should be uniformly in the yellow background with red letters on the "internship" sign. " sign. Trainee drivers with a license will need to go to each branch of the DMV before Oct. 1 to receive their license free of charge.2. Adjust the seat position and rearview mirror position.
Seat adjustment has two purposes:comfort and safety. If the ride is uncomfortable, it may affect the driver's mood, which can lead to traffic accidents.
For safety reasons, when the pedal (gas, brake) is pressed to the bottom, the legs should still be somewhat bent, so as to facilitate the legs to apply force in time in case of emergency.
The rearview mirror is adjusted to eliminate visual blind spots. Rearview mirrors not only see traffic behind and to the sides of the vehicle, but also see themselves properly. This can be more conducive to backing up and parking.3:Start the computer after the self-test is complete.
For many EFI vehicles, when the vehicle's ignition key is turned on, the trip computer will conduct a computerized self-check to eliminate safety hazards during driving. Inspection items generally include ABS, braking system, lubrication system, ESP system and so on. General computer self-test time is relatively short, about three or four seconds. At this time it is best not to start, to wait until all the instrumentation is normal and then start the vehicle.4:Release the handbrake
Newcomers are also prone to make a mistake, that is, when starting a cold car forget to release the handbrake. At this point, if the oil separation is well-coordinated, the vehicle will be able to run, but the wear and tear on the vehicle will increase, fuel consumption will increase, and it will be accompanied by a burning smell. When waiting for a red light, the novice pulls up his hand and tries to brake, but forgets to release the brake when the vehicle is moving again.
At this point, if the vehicle begins to stall, most likely sweating, can not find the problem. It is recommended that newcomers first develop a "get off the handbrake" good habits, so as not to damage the car, worried about their own.5: Do not high-speed neutral coasting
A car maintenance experts have said: low-speed neutral gear braking distance is similar to that of the braking distance when the gears are in gear. Some veteran drivers do not do neutral coasting to save fuel, but to prevent the vehicle stalled. New drivers should learn some driving habits sensibly.6:Turn on your turn signals when overtaking and merging, and look in your mirrors more often.
No turn signal to overtake and merge is the cause of many accidents, but also a lot of newbies are scolded for their mistakes "old excuse". For the "follow the car too closely" for the novice, this situation is more dangerous, easy to tailgate, be tailgated. For example, the driver does not glance to the sides of the body, it is easy to ignore the two sides of the parallel vehicles. If the car coming from behind is too fast, the body is too small, the merger is easy to be scratched by the front car.
In addition, the left turn signal, mainly look at the left rear-view mirror; hit the right turn signal, should mainly look at the right rear-view mirror. When overtaking continuously, you must always observe both sides of the body in the left and right mirrors.7. Line up in time before the intersection.
Veteran drivers often say that the novice: before the intersection (about 150 meters) did not meet the line, to wait until the intersection before suddenly realized, and then emergency break the wheel, affecting traffic.
Novice is not only a novice, but also a novice. Unfamiliar with the road, the most likely to look around at the intersection, do not know what to do. Think ahead of time how to get there, and diligently look at the road signs before the intersection, not easy to make mistakes. In addition, the novice in the long straight road driving, to develop the habit of open vision, do not stare at the vehicle in front of a few dozens of meters away.8:Turning to avoid high speed driving.
The vehicle will tilt sideways when turning, and the magnitude of the tilt will increase with the increase in speed. Since novices do not know the performance of the vehicle and how to match speed and road curvature, it is recommended that they do not turn at high speeds.
When turning at high speeds, the driver's body tends to tilt, and at the same time, the driver does not have enough control over the steering wheel.9:Use the dual-flash warning lights in emergencies.
Newcomers to the road in an emergency, it is best to use the double flash warning lights, which means to warn the car behind the "car accident, please pay attention to". "Double flash" is the dashboard has a red triangle marking the button, can be pressed. Especially on the highway, not only should you turn on the "dual flash" to warn the car behind you, but you should also use the warning triangle. Otherwise, it is easy to tailgate and other accidents. 10:Don't forget to pull the handbrake when parking.
After parking, don't forget to pull the handbrake. This is to prevent rolling, especially on inclined roads. Older drivers often say:To drive, park first. So for beginners, "stopping and pulling the handbrake" is the first step in developing sensible car habits.
