6 things to note when driving long distances home for Tet
(Baonghean.vn) - Driving long distances is a challenge for drivers, driving a car home during Tet with heavy traffic is not a simple task. Therefore, when deciding to go home by self-driving car, you should master some experiences to ensure safety.
1. Do not tailgate the vehicle in front.
 |
This is something you should keep in mind when driving on any road, especially on the highway in foggy or rainy conditions. Because this will limit your vision and you will not be able to react in time when the car in front brakes suddenly.
You should keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front and always control your speed. In case of encountering an obstacle, you should brake and slowly reduce speed to ensure safety.
2. Do not overtake and then suddenly slow down
 |
Do not accelerate to pass the car in front and then suddenly release the accelerator to slow down. This will surprise the car you are passing and can easily cause an accident. Instead, maintain your speed after passing the car in front to create a safe distance.
3. Do not drive parallel to trucks or container trucks.
 |
On one-way roads with two or more lanes, you should not drive parallel to trucks or container trucks. Driving parallel to trucks not only limits your visibility and ability to see around you, but also makes it very easy to collide. Therefore, when observing an empty road, you should pass the truck to ensure safety.
4. Use high beams and low beams properly
 |
When driving at night and without street lights, you should use the appropriate high-beam and low-beam modes to ensure safety. You should only use high-beam (headlights) on roads with few vehicles and when you see lights from the opposite direction, immediately switch to low-beam mode (low beam).
5. Follow the correct speed
 |
Always observe the signs to drive at the prescribed speed. Because not following the prescribed speed can get you fined and also endanger yourself and other vehicles participating in traffic.
6. Do not use the phone while driving
 |
Texting and talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous. If you are driving at high speed or in a crowded area, it is best to forget about your phone.
Nowadays, most car models are equipped with Bluetooth connectivity to the phone, you can answer calls through a button on the steering wheel or on the DVD player, the sound will be transmitted through the speaker and you do not have to take your eyes and hands off the road.
