Many people will feel that they are old drivers, and they are comfortable driving, no problem!
But in reality, this may not be the case.
Because people who are really good at driving often have some specific behavioral habits, such as these 3...
By looking at these points, you know if you can drive or not – have you done it all?
First, look at what is being used to control the speed of the car
If you look closely, you will find that the way you control your speed is often very different for those who really know how to drive.
For example, when ordinary drivers encounter red lights or turns, they will always subconsciously step on the brakes.
High-level drivers, on the other hand, adjust their speed through the throttle.
Just like pulling the string of a kite, the control of the throttle is like the relaxation of a kite in the sky - once it is tightened and one is loosened, the speed changes accordingly, and it is completely in the hands.
Some people may think, "Is it wrong to apply the brakes?" ”
Judging from the objective reality, since this thing was given, it was to step on it, and it must be right.
But from the point of view of a master, it is not right to apply the brakes too often – because the brakes are a "remedy" measure, not the main tool for controlling speed.
In addition, frequent braking will not only lead to excessive wear and tear of the brake pads, but also affect the stability and riding experience of the vehicle.
To put it bluntly, when you keep braking, the passengers in the car always have a feeling of being pulled forward and backward!
Not only that, but throttle control can also reduce fuel consumption compared to "frequent point brakes".
Therefore, people who can really drive must be masters who "can release the accelerator", not novices who "love to step on the brakes".
Secondly, look at the coordination of hands and eyes
To put it bluntly, people who can really drive often have a very good hand and eye cooperation.
This is especially evident when turning or changing lanes.
And many novice drivers or inexperienced people are the opposite.
They will habitually act at the same time, or do it first and then look at it.
On the surface, it doesn't seem like a big deal - it's nothing more than 1-2 seconds in advance.
But the reality is cruel, and this kind of "eye can't keep up" situation is often prone to danger.
For example, when merging on a highway, the vehicle in front suddenly slows down.
Inexperienced drivers tend to instinctively hit the steering wheel first and then look in the rearview mirror.
The result?
If the vehicle behind you is fast or even has not enough safety distance, there is a high risk of rear-end collision or collision.
This kind of "hands are faster than eyes" behavior is a big taboo in driving.
Another example is that when turning at a narrow intersection, some drivers will subconsciously turn the steering wheel quickly.
Wait until you turn around and find that there are obstacles or pedestrians next to you.
At this point, the situation is already irreparable.
On the other hand, people who are really good at driving will first use their eyes to observe the surrounding environment and the width of the lane.
Then the hand movements begin to perform to ensure a smooth and smooth turn.
Therefore, "the eyes do not move, the hands do not move" is often the iron law of high-level drivers, and it is also the watershed of high and low levels.
At the end of the day, the master is not driving a few years longer than you, but seeing the road a few seconds more than you.
This small difference is often the beginning of safety and danger.
Finally, look at how well the emotions are controlled on the road
To put it bluntly, driving is not only a technical job, but also psychological warfare.
A truly high-level driver, in addition to mastering driving skills, is more important to be able to stay calm in various road conditions and unexpected situations.
On the contrary, many novice or impatient drivers are often swayed by emotions.
Once you encounter traffic jams, congestion, etc., emotions will explode immediately, which will affect driving behavior.
For example, there was once a man who was drunk and dissatisfied with being overtaken, stepped on the accelerator angrily and rushed to the rear-end, and a family of three died on the spot.
At the beginning of this year, someone also drove a Xpeng P7, suspected of racing out of control and caught fire, and the owner died on the spot.
These painful lessons actually illustrate one thing:
The root cause of many accidents is not the driving technique, but the driver's inability to control his emotions.
Whether it's anger, agitation, or nervousness, emotional out-of-control often leads drivers to act extremely, irrationally.
Imagine when you're jammed by another car, do you choose to chase after you angrily, or calmly slow down and get out of the way?
It's not just a safety issue, it's a test of your driving skills.
To put it bluntly, people who can really drive will not be easily irritated by such trivial things.
They know very well that it is useless to be angry with others, and if they do not do it well, they will harm themselves and even endanger the lives of their families.
In general, the master controls the emotion, and the low hand is controlled by the emotion.
This applies not only to driving, but also to all aspects of life...
