Know by heart the experience of driving a strange car

(Baonghean.vn) - Drivers, whether new or experienced, cannot help but feel bewildered when sitting behind the wheel of a strange car that they have never test driven before. To master the car on the road, drivers need to grasp some basic information about the car to ensure a safe and relaxing journey.

First impressions

It is important to understand the difference between the car you own and the car you are about to test drive; you may own a regular sedan and are about to test drive an SUV, the difference is significant, so you should still be careful and not subjective before getting in the car and starting the engine. Especially if you are used to automatic cars, the car you are about to test is a manual car...

Estimated size and visibility

To make sure the car does not collide when reversing, turning, or turning, the driver needs to estimate the size and visibility while sitting in the driver's seat.

When sitting in the driver's seat, adjust the seat to fit the most comfortable viewing angle, foot pedal distance and hand to the steering wheel. SUVs, hatchbacks and sedans have different front and rear roof lengths and different turning radiuses. Therefore, carefully observe the mirrors and be careful when maneuvering in narrow spaces to avoid collisions.

Drive slowly to see how the car reacts.

Each car will have a different reaction to the accelerator, brake pedal or the weight/lightness of the steering wheel. Therefore, you should not operate the same as your familiar car on the new car... Carefully take the car to deserted roads, test the elasticity, sensitivity of the accelerator, brake...

Hydraulic or electric power steering has different weight, the number of turns is also different on different lines, like sports cars are often harsh, the number of turns is less than civil cars.

Get familiar with the control panel

In fact, even if you don't need to be familiar with the dashboard, just knowing the accelerator, brake, and gears is enough to drive the car normally, but on long roads or in complicated traffic conditions, you will become a bad driver.

The buttons on the steering wheel, door locks, windows up/down, turn signals, lights, wipers... have the most similarities on most car models, the rest of the support is different for each car.

Especially with cars with a lot of technology, getting used to all the adjustment buttons can be a pressure for new drivers. It is best to ask the car owner about the utilities if you do not understand the function at first glance to avoid wasting time figuring it out.

Learn about car engines

The engine is the heart of the car, if you really don't know about the car's engine, then you certainly won't be able to understand anything about the new one.

When driving on flat terrain, it is always easy, but when driving on hilly roads, steep terrain requires the driver to grasp information about the engine, exploit the engine's power, and control the surface size to overcome these complex terrain roads.
