#千万IP创科普# During the National Day holiday, please keep this highway driving safety guide

During the National Day holiday, free passage will be implemented on highways for small passenger cars with 7 seats or less. Due to the increased travel demand for visiting relatives and friends and going out for tourism, in order to ensure safe and orderly road traffic during the holiday, drivers are requested to keep this highway driving safety guide.

1. Check your vehicle before traveling

Before traveling, you should conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle, including: whether there are any abnormalities in the steering system, whether the braking device is sensitive and effective, whether all parts are well lubricated, whether the tires are excessively worn, whether the tire pressure is normal, whether there are any abnormal noises from the front and rear drive shafts, whether the engine is leaking water, oil, or air, etc.

2. Get enough sleep

You should get enough sleep before driving. When driving long distances, you should also pay attention to not driving too long continuously. If you feel tired while driving, you must stop and rest at the nearest service area, and never stop and rest illegally on the highway.

3. Do not drive distracted

Drivers should always stay focused while driving and avoid playing with their phones, drinking water, eating, or operating the navigation system. Other passengers should try to avoid chatting or playing with the driver to avoid distracting the driver.

4. Do not change lanes at will

When driving on the expressway, drivers must consciously abide by the expressway traffic rules, drive in a civilized and safe manner according to the vehicle type and lane. Do not change lanes at will, and it is strictly forbidden to change more than two lanes at a time. Try to avoid emergency braking. Before changing lanes, pay attention to the road conditions, turn on the turn signal in advance, and change lanes only after ensuring safety.

5. Please do not occupy the emergency lane at will

The emergency lane of the highway, also known as the "life channel" of the highway, is not a "hurry" lane! It is a special lane for vehicles that handle emergency matters such as engineering rescue, fire rescue, medical rescue or traffic police to perform emergency tasks, so please do not occupy the emergency lane at will for the sake of temporary convenience.

6. It is strictly forbidden to drive in the opposite direction or reverse on the highway

Plan your route carefully before traveling. If you miss the correct exit on the highway, do not stop at the ramp, and do not reverse or drive in the opposite direction. You should leave the highway at the next exit and re-plan your route.

7. Do not exceed the speed limit or drive too close to other vehicles

“Nine out of ten accidents are caused by speeding.” When driving on the highway, please maintain a safe distance between vehicles and do not exceed the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit sign. When driving at night or on roads where accidents are likely to occur, you should reduce your speed.

8. Do not drive with an overload. Driving with an overload will increase the weight of the vehicle and reduce its safety performance. Secondly, if an accident occurs, it will be more difficult for passengers to escape. Finally, the performance of the vehicle will be damaged due to overloading. For the safety of others and yourself, overloading should be avoided.

9. Remember the Nine Words

There are many rear-end collisions on highways. If you encounter a rear-end collision, you must remember to "pull over, evacuate, and call the police immediately" to avoid a "secondary accident". If the vehicle cannot move, the driver should immediately evacuate to the side of the road or a safe area on the side of the road after placing the triangular warning sign. Never stand in the lane to argue or make phone calls.
