Common mistakes when driving on holidays

Not often driving long distances, in some situations lack of experience can make you confused and even dangerous for yourself and your family. Drivers should note some mistakes so that the whole family can have a safe and fun vacation.

Going early or late at night is also difficult to avoid traffic jams.

Trying to get up earlier or choosing the evening before to leave to avoid traffic jams when going out during the long holiday is something everyone thinks about. Everyone "hard-pressed" to leave at this time will make the solution no longer effective.

Furthermore, "first dusk, second dawn", these are the two times of day when driving is the most difficult to observe. Twilight is when the weather changes from morning to night and dawn is from night to morning. The change in light causes the human eye to fall into a state of night blindness, making it difficult to see objects clearly.To avoid traffic jams, drivers can refer to traffic conditions on mass media to choose the appropriate departure time.

Improper use of fog lights

In late spring and early summer, many regions, especially the North, still have fog in the early morning and late afternoon. Not driving in this weather condition often can make you confused about using fog lights. Drivers should note that the rear fog lights only work when the headlights are in low beam mode. Be careful if the fog is not too thick, do not use the fog lights, because the tail lights can blind the drivers behind.

With front fog lights, the effect is to create a wide, low beam below the fog layer to illuminate the road. If your car is equipped with front fog lights, use them effectively.

Stop in the middle of the road to take pictures

On the way out, you and your family can see many beautiful and strange scenes. Most people want to save these images by taking pictures. However, suddenly stopping the car in the middle of the road to take pictures can be dangerous for you, your family members and other vehicles.

To take safe photos, drivers should carefully observe warning signs on the road, only stop when permitted, and especially should not affect the traffic of other vehicles.

Suddenly stop the car in the middle of the road to rest

Similar to stopping to take photos, during a long journey on the car, many members have personal needs that they want to relieve themselves, so they want the driver to stop immediately. This is dangerous. The driver should not suddenly cut in front of a series of cars in the lane closest to the curb to get to the stop. It is necessary to determine the location in advance, then gradually move to the most suitable lane near the stop.

Enter lane without looking

After stopping the car, some drivers who lack experience driving long distances often get in the car and press the accelerator to enter the traffic lane without looking around, especially behind. To ensure safety, drivers need to calmly observe the front and rear, turn on the signal to enter the lane until oncoming vehicles recognize and give way, then slowly enter the lane.
