With the rapid growth of the semi-trailer market, semi-trailers have gradually entered more ordinary citizens' families, and the team of drivers has also grown day by day. It is a gradual process from a novice to an experienced driver. Novices cannot avoid mistakes in this and other ways during the driving process. For this reason, we have specially compiled this article to provide a reference for all novices.
General rules for beginners to drive safely:
In fact, every novice has experienced the embarrassment of starting the road. If they can successfully pass the initial internship period, they will benefit for a lifetime. Here are some tips for beginners to drive safely.
To be stable in your heart, you should adjust your psychological quality. In the face of fast-moving traffic and criss-crossing roads, don't be too nervous, and remember to keep a cool head. Novices are often so nervous that they don’t know how to shift gears, turn, etc. When they see other vehicles passing by, they can’t wait to carry the car away. In fact, as long as they drive calmly and follow the rules, there will be no problem.
Find someone to be courageous Second, it is good for a novice to have someone to accompany you on the road. Having a friend who can drive by your side is like a reassurance. Once something goes wrong while driving, you will get timely reminders and help. There is another advantage of having a friend on the road in the same car. When you can’t drive, your friend can get off the car to direct the traffic for you, and open a path for you and the car in front of the car. "Thank you.
Get ready again, before you go on the road, you must plan the essentials of driving in your mind, and familiarize yourself with the brakes, accelerators, and clutches, so as not to use the accelerator as the brake when you are nervous, it is too dangerous; be familiar with each gear, because " The novice” will forget to increase or decrease the gear when he is nervous on the road. The roar of the semi-trailer is often deaf to the novice. It is a common mistake for many “novices” to be able to drive the manual transmission into automatic transmission. Therefore, these basic operations before hitting the road Must be thoroughly familiar.
6 counts for a novice driver
Item 1: Adjust the driving posture The driving posture is mainly related to the steering wheel and seat. After getting into the driver's seat, you should first sit deeply in the back of the seat so that your waist and shoulders rest on the seat back. Get a feel for the seat's fore-aft distance and backrest angle, then stretch your arms forward and naturally hold the sides of the steering wheel.
At this time, the wrist must be free to bend and move freely. The legs should have a certain amount of space for movement, so that the clutch pedal, brake pedal or accelerator pedal is effortless, and the body does not need to lean forward, so the position is basically appropriate. What needs to be adjusted is that after adjusting the driving posture, be sure to fasten your seat belt to avoid nervousness and unsafe factors when you suddenly remember not wearing a seat belt while driving.
Item 2: Play with the steering wheel easily After the driving posture is adjusted, the next step is the grip and operation of the steering wheel. When holding the steering wheel, the elbows are slightly bent when holding the steering wheel with both hands at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock (that is, on the horizontal sides), because this allows the arms to have sufficient movement area to quickly operate the steering plate. When holding the steering wheel, do not hold it tightly, but lightly hold the outer edge. Many novices always hold the steering wheel tightly, which causes a lot of sweat on the hands, which affects the accuracy of the action. Moreover, it is easy to cause the steering wheel to be turned abnormally when shifting gears, burying the hidden danger of accidents.
The operation of the steering wheel has different degrees of steering action according to the speed of the vehicle. The higher the speed, the less the turning of the steering wheel. When turning, operate with both hands, and turn the steering wheel in a manner of pushing up with one hand and pulling down with the other hand. In addition, the steering wheel has an automatic alignment function. When turning quickly, you can relax your palm to allow the steering wheel to quickly return to alignment, but it is not allowed to rotate on its own. You still need to hold the steering wheel with both hands to maintain a state that can be controlled at any time.
Some novices put their hands inside the steering wheel to steer when the semi-trailer makes a U-turn or makes a big turn. Steering in this way seems to save effort, but in case of emergency, the hand cannot be withdrawn in time for emergency treatment; in the event of a sudden change in the direction of the front wheel, it is easy to injure the arm. Novices should get rid of this bad habit.
Item 3: Familiarize yourself with the gears Most of the novice drivers drive on the road for the first time (take a manual transmission as an example), which is different from the car they drove when they learned to drive, so they are unfamiliar with the gears. If you don't take the time to familiarize yourself with the gears, the direct consequence is that you don't know how many gears you are in while driving, and you often look down at the shift lever, which is easy to cause traffic accidents due to distraction. Especially when encountering complex road conditions, due to nervousness, it is easy to hang the wrong gear and cause the engine to stall. Therefore, you must be familiar with the gear before you start the road for the first time. Note: Remember to put the shift lever in neutral when driving, and pay attention to avoid sudden pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles when driving.
Item 4: Proficient in oil separation coordination When driving a manual transmission model, a good oil separation coordination can not only make the vehicle start smoothly, make the power output smoothly, but also save fuel and prolong the service life of the clutch.
The correct oil separation should be adjusted according to the speed of the vehicle. In the starting stage, set the gear to neutral, step on the clutch pedal after landing, put the shift lever in 1st gear, slowly release the clutch, cooperate with the accelerator, and start the semi-trailer. When you step on the clutch pedal, you must step it all the way. When you slowly release the clutch pedal, you can feel the vibration and movement of the body. When the vehicle shakes slightly and has a tendency to move, slowly refuel, and continue to release the clutch slowly until it is completely released. Smooth start.
The oil separation coordination is also necessary when the vehicle is shifting gears in motion. With the increase of vehicle speed, the process of oil separation and cooperation is gradually shortened, that is, the release speed of the clutch pedal should be accelerated. In order to ensure a smooth shifting process, the accelerator should also cooperate reasonably, and do not rush to refuel. The ideal state is that the vehicle runs smoothly during the shifting process, the speed increases smoothly, and there is no obvious instantaneous deceleration and acceleration. On the contrary, when decelerating and downshifting, you should brake properly first, and when the speed of the vehicle is appropriate, depress the clutch pedal to shift.
Item 5: Find the right time to shift gears Many newbies don’t know when to shift gears, and low gears and high speeds often occur. The correct shift should be after the semi-trailer starts, as the engine speed increases, with different vehicle speeds, shift into the corresponding gear. Usually, when the speed is increased to a certain level, the noise of the engine will increase, and it is necessary to upshift at this time. different, please read the manual before using it). If a novice has not learned to shift gears according to the change of the engine sound, he can observe the tachometer under the condition of safety and feel the change of the sound of the engine at the optimum shifting speed. The principle of deceleration and shifting is the same, but it should be noted that when the vehicle speed is too fast, the vehicle speed should be reduced to the corresponding range before shifting.
Item 6: Learn to see the six-way driver's field of vision is limited in the car, and the naked eye can only see the situation in front. Rear view mirror. In the actual driving process, novices often keep their eyes on the front, and ignore the five directions of left, right, rear, up and down, so how can we "see six roads"? In the case of ensuring that the vehicle is driving in the center of the lane and the road conditions are not too complicated, force yourself to move your eyes away from the front, and use the peripheral vision of your eyes to observe the three rear-view mirrors, the road surface, and the front and top of the vehicle, and keep your The center field of view can scan wide road conditions front, rear, left, right, up and down. Observing from the front should be as far as possible; from the rear, observe the three rear-view mirrors on the center, left and right, and see the distance and speed of the following vehicles in all lanes behind; from the left and right of the road, including oncoming vehicles, Parking on the left and right side of the road, pedestrians and vehicles about to turn out at the intersection; look up to see road signs and signal lights; look down to see road markings and road obstacles.
