Do not supervise the rear seat belt.
Taking a friend out to play, in the back row, he sat without a seat belt. Don't remind him it's not a big problem? In fact, this is not necessarily a correct habit.
According to a survey conducted by the Cabinet Office of Japan, among 2 149 people, 74.2% said that they would not wear seat belts when sitting in the back row. What is there to wear?
Among them, 36.8% people think that it is uncomfortable and troublesome to sit in the back with a seat belt; 20.5% people think that the accident happened only after hitting the front row, and the rear row is much safer than the front row.
There are also 10.4% people who think that it doesn't matter if you don't wear a seat belt in the back row.
The domestic Pacific Auto Network has also done a similar survey, and the conclusion is similar.
But in fact, not wearing a seat belt in the back row is very harmful, not only to the passengers in the back row during the accident, but also to the front row.
It's like catching the flu, not wearing a mask, not going to the hospital, and possibly infecting others, that is, harming others and yourself.
The National Biotechnology Information Center of the United States also has a data: in a serious frontal collision, the death rate of drivers sitting in front of passengers without seat belts is 2.27 times that of passengers wearing seat belts.
What is the dialect? It is in this kind of accident that the driver is like the meat in a meat bun, caught by the passengers in the back row, and the airbag in front of him opens, which is very miserable.
The airbag slaps you, you step back, and the person behind you flies forward and hits you, which hurts to clip at the same time.
Why does the title of this article describe the rear passengers who are not wearing seat belts? "Backseat bullet", that is, the bullet in the back row, shoots you in the back of the head, which is such a description.
Therefore, in the case of someone in the back row, we must also supervise him to fasten his seat belt, not only for his own good, but also to protect himself.
Only look in the rearview mirror when changing lanes.
The second habit that many friends mistakenly think is correct is: when changing lanes, only look at the rearview mirror and pay no attention to the blind spot.
Cao Jinghui and others published a paper "Solutions and Control Strategies for the Blind Area of Automobile Rear-view Mirror" in the magazine of Electromechanical Technology, which mentioned.
Under normal circumstances, a person can see the area about 200 ahead by turning his neck. The left and right rearview mirrors on the car can provide about 30 rear view, so there will be a blind spot of about 100.
In other words, the position slightly behind the car side is a blind spot.
Specifically, it is equivalent to driving from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock and driving from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock. The two large pizza areas are easily overlooked.
And pizza ... right? It radiates in rays. The farther the distance, the bigger the blind area, and the harder it is for us to find the car on the side.
It is ok to drive on city roads. After all, the lane spacing is relatively narrow. Once you get on the expressway, elevated road or expressway, the lane will be wider and the speed will be faster.
There may be a car on the side that is completely in the blind area, and half of the car is in the blind area, which may not be noticed, thus causing a dangerous situation.
In addition to changing lanes, when you turn right to observe non-motor vehicles, you will also be troubled by blind spots. Many friends should feel the same way, right
So when driving, if novice friends don't often look in the rearview mirror, when changing lanes, just look in the rearview mirror and turn to look at the blind spot.
This is a good habit.
For old drivers, the frequency of looking at the rearview mirror is relatively high. Can you use the rearview mirror in advance to pay attention to whether the cars, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians next to you are coming to the blind spot? This is relatively more reliable.
If the headlights are dim, use fog lights to make them up.
The third habit that many friends mistakenly think is correct is that when driving at night, they think the headlights are too dim, so they turn on a fog lamp to mend it. Isn't the fog light quite bright?
A friend said, "The fog lights come on when I turn the corner." In fact, the fog lamp on one side is used as a temporary fill light, which can illuminate the side or even the part near the door panel, and can be seen clearly when turning.
Temporary lighting, not long-term fog lighting, should be clear.
The so-called "abuse" of fog lamps is not only found in China, but also at home and abroad.
SAE (American Society of Automotive Engineers) has a paper, Fog Lamps: Installation Frequency and Usage Nature.
There is a data above: at night, the utilization rate of front fog lights is very high, reaching 63%. But most people use it not because of rainy and foggy weather, but to supplement the lighting of low beam.
Although the fog lamp is not as bright as the high beam, it may be more dazzling because it has no lens, and the damage to the car in the opposite lane is not necessarily lower than that of the high beam.
Abuse of fog lights will affect other traffic participants just like abuse of high beam.
He is not good, and we will not be much better ourselves; He can't see the direction clearly. Didn't he hit us? Right?
Shi Ruixiang published a paper "The Design of Automatic Anti-glare Rearview Mirror System" in Auto Parts magazine, which also said that the influence of glare would increase the driver's reaction time1.4s..
This is the same as the flash bomb in the game. "Bang" the whole screen turned white and there was no way to operate it. I don't know where to look or where to shoot, do I? It's quite dangerous.
By the time the white chess disappears, you have already quit the game or watched the game on the sidelines, haven't you? Cars are not that easy. After the white color is eliminated, it may be in the hospital.
Some strict places abroad have regulations that fog lamps are not allowed in normal weather.
For example, Article 2 18- 1 of the New South Wales Road Rules in Australia stipulates that drivers can only use fog lights in foggy days or other weather with limited visibility, otherwise they will be fined up to 20 penalty units.
At present, the price of 1 penalty unit is 18 1.74 USD, which is the same as the speeding penalty.
This can also be seen from the side: the abuse of fog lights is still relatively harmful to other traffic participants on the road.
It's safer to drive slowly.
The fourth habit that many friends mistakenly think is correct is that it is safer to drive slowly.
After reading it, our elders had dinner with them, worshipped the New Year and went out. The elder waved and said, "Goodbye, please drive slowly." Isn't that what they all say?
It's always a good idea to drive slowly. I want to make you safer. Don't take it for granted
MIT has a website "MIT News" with an article, "Mathematicians focusing on the" phantom "new traffic congestion model can help design better roads".
It said: in high-density traffic, a small disturbance, such as the driver's excessive braking, will quickly amplify into a full-scale traffic jam.
The article also mentioned a research experiment in Japan: on a circular road, the motorcade maintained a speed of 30km/h and a constant distance between cars, and no accidents occurred during the period.
After driving for a period of time, the traffic will stop, which is the phenomenon of "ghost traffic jam"
It's like: everyone is doing their homework in the self-study class. A person takes out his mobile phone and plays a short video loudly there, which may affect the performance of the whole class. Of course, he may be dragged out by the teacher of the student affairs office.
