Despite the epidemic this year, many people chose to celebrate the New Year in place. However, there are still many people who have cars who choose to drive home, which is why more and more people have bought cars in recent years. But although it is convenient to drive home by car, it is not so smooth during the Spring Festival, and the most headache is the traffic jam. Especially when the Spring Festival holiday is nearing the end and the peak of the return trip is coming, this block avoidance strategy is collected first.
During peak return hours, it is recommended to stagger the peak
Approaching the Spring Festival, Baidu Map, together with the Highway Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, the Transportation Industry Research Center for Comprehensive Transportation Big Data and Application Technology (Zhonglu Hi-Tech) and other units released the "2022 Spring Festival Holiday Travel Guide".
According to the guidelines, pre-holiday passenger traffic will remain stable, and on February 6, it may usher in a peak of high-speed congestion on the return journey. In terms of specific time periods, it is expected that February 6 (the sixth day of the first month) from 15:00 to 17:00 will usher in the highest peak of high-speed congestion in the country. In addition, after February 15 (the fifteenth day of the first month), there was a peak in the number of passengers returning to work.
It is recommended that the return time avoid the peak of the return trip from the afternoon to the evening as much as possible. It should be noted that the start and end time of the free passage are based on the time point when the vehicle leaves the highway, so the owner does not have to pinch the time on the highway, but the time of the lower highway must be paid attention to, and the longer the distance remembers to reserve more time.
It is best to plan your route well before you go, especially in unfamiliar areas, and avoid congested routes reasonably. At the same time, for the county road below the careful choice, familiar with the situation of the old drivers know that these roads have too many "variables", navigation is difficult to predict, driving need to pay more attention.
Minor accidents are handled quickly
In fact, the biggest culprit of highway congestion is a variety of traffic accidents, but most of the accidents that occur on the highway are minor accidents, that is, traffic accidents that do not involve casualties and only cause minor property damage. At this time, the owner should go through a fast processing process to avoid blocking traffic.
So how do you make a quick process? First open the double flash to place a triangle warning sign to confirm whether the other party has drunk, such as the other party's drunk driving needs to call the police immediately and the other party is fully responsible. If no one is drunk driving on both sides, it is necessary to record the mobile phone number of the other party's owner and check whether the other party's license plate number, driver's license, driving license, insurance policy and other documents are complete. After that, the two parties determine their own responsibility, take pictures on the spot, and then leave on their own, and the follow-up responsible party contacts the insurance company to settle the claim according to the process.
If the accident loss is relatively serious, and the responsibility of both parties is disputed, it is necessary to call the 110 alarm to wait for the traffic police to deal with it, but it also needs to bear the deduction of points and fines that affect the traffic order. Therefore, people are fine, the car can move, should take a rapid process to avoid causing more serious traffic congestion.
Pay attention to vehicle condition inspection and post-holiday maintenance
I believe that all the old drivers are quite familiar with the inspection of the car condition, but some details may not be noticed by everyone, such as the inspection and maintenance of the tires. During the Spring Festival, cars drive especially frequently on non-paved roads, so before the long-distance return journey, you need to pay attention to checking the wear and tear of the tire tread, see if there is gravel and drum bags, and it is best to ensure that the tire pressure is within the normal range (2.4-2.5 bar), if the tire pressure is found to be too low or abnormal when driving on the highway, you can check and refuel in the service area or after getting off the highway.
After a high workload of holiday cars and long journeys, don't forget to carry out targeted maintenance and maintenance of the vehicle. For example, the chassis of the vehicle is also a place that car owners often overlook. Here are arranged complex pipes, gearboxes and engines, pure electric vehicles also have battery pack shells, etc., if you encounter bumps on the way, you need to check and repair in time.
In addition, when the vehicle is parked outdoors for a long time, a lot of dust will accumulate on the surface of the body, and some foreign objects such as insect carcasses may fall in the front grille, gap in the covering and window. If not treated in time, it will be very difficult to clean, and it may also destroy the paint, leaving scars that are difficult to remove completely.
Whether it is the epidemic or the rapid development of the national economy, now buying a car and driving home is becoming more and more trendy, and congestion is becoming more and more difficult to avoid, so checking the strategy in advance, familiarizing with road conditions and checking vehicles are a good way to avoid congestion and comfortable return. Finally, Brother Reed is here to wish everyone a smooth and prosperous new year!
