Everyone's driving skills are different, some people can become masters after driving a car for three years, and some people can drive a car for ten years, and their driving skills are average. There is such a big gap in driving skills, in addition to the difference in personal talent, each person's understanding and pursuit of driving is different, which also determines driving skills. Some people pursue comfort and stability, and they can travel on their behalf, and they never think about how high my skills are. In order to pursue speed and passion, I am always expressing myself, driving on the road, and no one around me can drive better than me. But what exactly is the highest level of driving? Is it superb driving skills, or is it a calm response to various road conditions? In fact, the real master is able to achieve safety first and be calm.
In a nutshell, you can reach your destination as quickly as possible, with no dangerous driving, no potential safety hazards, and no accidents and violations. Everyone knows that driving should focus on safety and obey traffic rules, which is the general direction and everyone knows. It's not that simple to implement, and you need to be vigilant about every detail on the road. Master drivers typically have two characteristics:
One is the ability to predict danger, that is, defensive driving. To put it simply, it is through the accumulation of long-term driving experience, through one's own observation and careful thinking, the sensitivity and prediction of traffic conditions. For example, in the simplest way, the brake lights of many cars in front of you are on, and you must also turn on the brake lights at this time, even if the speed does not decrease, you must turn on early, so that the rear car can find out. When crossing an intersection, even if the light is green, observe the left and right for vehicles or pedestrians running the red light.
The second point is particularly important, that is, the ability to drive calmly, which is an important trait of a master driver. In addition to good technology, the mentality should be stable. Driving on the road, there are too many cars on the road now, and there are many people who don't drive well and drive indiscriminately regardless of other people's feelings. It is inevitable to encounter some unsatisfactory things, such as traffic jams, lane changes without conditions, and do not play turn signals, do not give way when it is time to be polite, and the car begins to honk its horn and flash its lights after the speed is a little slower. However, the masters were able to stay calm and not be swayed by emotions. They don't honk angrily or force overtake because they get jammed to teach each other a lesson, and they don't get agitated by traffic jams.
If you get angry when you encounter an unsatisfactory situation, you want to punish and teach the other party a lesson, and you will be angry after driving for a day. Many people say that as long as I am not at fault, I obey the traffic rules, and even if there is an accident, the other party is fully responsible, and I am not used to these unruly people. I'm driving normally, and if the other party doesn't change lanes and changes hard, I'll hit it, and the other party is fully responsible.
Drivers who think this way are actually not driving calmly, and the master driver is talking about not having an accident, not who is responsible. Even if it is not our own responsibility, we ourselves may be injured in the accident in the event of an accident, and it will take a lot of time to repair the car ourselves. It is said that time is money, and if you pay time, it is equivalent to paying money, and the other party will not pay for this lost work.
We have to understand that everyone makes mistakes and there are a lot of bad guy drivers on the road. If we can deal with these situations with a calm mind, a foot on the brakes will pass, which will not only make our driving process easier and more enjoyable, but also help to reduce misjudgment and risky behavior caused by emotional excitement.
There are many real cases of this, on the highway I don't know why, two cars start to fight, chasing each other, both slamming the accelerator and slamming on the brakes, interspersed left and right on the road. Eventually, the two cars collided at the moment of the other car, causing one of the cars to roll over several times. If one of them was a master driver and didn't fight with the other party, such a serious accident would not have happened. In fact, there are many such situations on urban roads, although the speed of urban roads is slow, but it is also dangerous, and it may hit pedestrians on the side of the road or cross the road, and serious accidents may occur.
Putting safety first and being calm can not only ensure the safety of one's own life and property and that of others, but also improve the quality of the entire traffic environment. When more and more drivers can reach this level, the roads will become more orderly and harmonious, and the incidence of traffic accidents will be greatly reduced. In short, the highest level of driving is not simply how skilled you are or how fast you can drive on the road, but how you can build up your safety awareness and always maintain a peaceful mind.
