Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. After our novices just got their driver's license, they all need to be accompanied by an old driver to get on the highway during the internship period, but some people have three fundamental reasons why even if the old driver accompanies him to run once, he still does not dare to go on the highway alone after the internship period. First, I am afraid that the speed of the vehicle on the highway is not well mastered, which is easy to cause the vehicle to lose control. Second, I am not familiar with the road, I am worried that I will miss the intersection and get lost on the highway. Third, they feel that they are not capable of dealing with emergencies. In fact, before running at high speed, whether it is a novice or an old driver, as long as you remember the following 4 points, then you will be safer to run at high speed.
Many novice friends don't talk about running at high speed at the beginning, even if they take the national highway, they are a little nervous, because they are not familiar with the road, and they are worried that they will go the wrong way. The national highway is different, you go to the wrong intersection on the national highway, you can turn around at any time, so although everyone is apprehensive, they will not dare to go. But once you miss an intersection on the highway, you don't know how far away the next intersection will be from home, and sometimes you can even get lost on the highway.
In response to everyone's concern about missing the intersection, the first point is that before getting on the highway, you must first set up your navigation. Now the navigation software function is very powerful, after we set up the navigation, you can use the simulated navigation function on the navigation to navigate first, remember which intersection to turn which way, and then you follow the instructions of the navigation on the highway, you will not miss the intersection. Let's set the broadcast mode of the navigation to be detailed, and when we reach the intersection where we want to change lanes, the navigation will frequently prompt you to change lanes, slow down, merge and so on. Even if there is a low-speed vehicle in front of you or a fast-approaching vehicle behind you, the navigator will be the first to alert you.
The second point is that before getting on the highway, you must learn to read the street signs. In fact, we can completely, as long as you can read the street signs, we can completely do not rely on navigation and can not get lost on the highway. In the past, when navigation was not so powerful, many old drivers drove by looking at street signs, let's look at the map before getting on the highway to see which direction your destination is in, which city is close to, so that you can easily read the street signs.
For example, if I want to go back to my hometown from the county seat, because my hometown borders Guangdong, I will go in the direction of Zhanjiang on the Lanhai Expressway, but if I want to go all the way to Zhanjiang, I will go over. I need to walk more than 10 kilometers in the direction of Yulin when I see the road sign in Yulin before I can get off the highway. In this way, I only need to remember the street sign of Zhanjiang and the street sign of Yulin, as long as your direction is good, then when I see the street sign of Zhanjiang, I will enter the ramp to change to a high-speed drive, on this highway, when I see the street sign of Yulin, I will continue to enter the ramp to change the high-speed, enter the direction of Yulin and drive until I see the exit sign of our town.
Thirdly, you must know how to merge safely onto the main road on the highway ramp. When we switch between the main road, we all need to go through a ramp first, right? Generally, the speed limit on the ramp is 40~60. Therefore, many of our new friends drive slowly on the ramp, and then wait for the ramp to turn straight, and then slowly turn on the turn signal there, waiting at a near-stop speed to merge into the main road. But after waiting for a long time, you can't merge into the main road, and at this time, your speed is only in the middle of ten or twenty and almost stops, and it is easy to be rear-ended by the car coming from behind. If you rush into the main road, because you are too slow, the acceleration process is relatively long, and it is easy to be rear-ended by the car on the main road behind.
We are at the end of the ramp when the road begins to straighten to accelerate, to accelerate quickly to increase the speed to more than 80 kilometers, and wait for the opportunity to merge into the main road, this is the correct operation, as for this process we need to actually operate several times to understand the skills, but must remember, do not after the ramp, still waiting to enter the main road. Unless there are too many cars to merge onto the main road, you can slow down and wait.
Fourth, before setting off, we must know the characteristics of overtaking on the highway. We can't think that overtaking on the highway is the same as on the national highway, others are slow in front, and you change lanes and step on the accelerator to overtake. On the highway, there is generally no such characteristic, on the highway you are fast and people are fast, you want to overtake you have to have an absolute speed advantage to overtake the other party, otherwise, you may be side by side with him for a long time can not surpass.
There are three actions that must be done to overtake on the highway, the first one is that you must first turn signal before you want to overtake, and you must hit the turn signal in advance and flash the headlights to remind the car in front. Second, before you want to change lanes, you must first step on the accelerator to accelerate so that your car is constantly approaching the car in front before starting to change lanes, so that you can maintain your speed advantage after changing lanes and overtake as soon as possible. Thirdly, after overtaking the other person's vehicle, you must look at your co-pilot's rearview mirror, and you can see in the co-pilot's rearview mirror that the whole car is in the rearview mirror, and then you can start to turn your turn signal and change lanes back to the original lane.
Before we drive at high speed, whether it is a novice friend or an old driver, we should remember the above points, so that we can drive safer when we run at high speed.
