A netizen encountered a thrilling scene while driving. There is a child's drink bottle on the dashboard. Turning the corner, he rolled down, ignored it and drove for a while. To overtake, the accelerator suddenly stepped on a position and could not move. He's a little depressed. When did the throttle become so small? Fortunately, it's okay to try the brakes. While wondering, he suddenly reacted. Is the rolling beverage bottle stuck? Stop the car and look at it. It's really, really scary.

When using the car at ordinary times, we can see that many people have some bad habits more or less. Some people know that they are wrong, but they just can't change it, such as the people in the above example; Others are unconscious and don't know where they are wrong. In this issue, we summarized ten bad car habits. I hope everyone will change it if they have it, and encourage them if they don't.

1. The clutch semi-linkage is easy to be damaged.

Some car owners always habitually put their left foot on the clutch when driving manual gear, thinking that this can quickly shift gears, reduce the probability of flameout and avoid losing face. Many people, especially novices, are highly nervous when the vehicle turns. They will step on the clutch first, then brake, or both "for safety reasons" (on normal urban roads, they need to brake suddenly at the same time). Another common situation is that people will unconsciously step on the clutch when waiting for the red light. Both methods will cause great damage to the clutch plate and affect the driving safety. Then how to judge whether the clutch is damaged? When driving, if you step on the clutch for a long time and a half, or when starting on a steep slope, the accelerator explodes and smells burnt, so you can't shift gears, then it may be that the clutch plate is burnt out, and the shaking of the vehicle at the start is also a sign of damage.

2. Pay attention to driving posture

After sitting in the driver's seat, the first thing is to adjust the height. There is no fixed standard. Under the condition of ensuring that your eyesight will not be affected, everyone should try to adjust their comfort.

The distance between seats is particular. Some car owners like to adjust their seats very forward and keep their bodies close to the steering wheel. This so-called psychological safety reminder is not only unsafe, but also counterproductive in an emergency. For example, there is not enough space to quickly turn the steering wheel and effectively brake, which will bring harm to the driver. The standard for adjusting the seat distance is: after the shoulder is attached to the backrest, the wrist is placed on the steering wheel, and the arm can maintain a slightly bent posture.

Another thing that is easily overlooked is the adjustment of headrest, which is not only related to the comfort of riding, but also can effectively protect the neck in unexpected accidents, especially when rear-end collision occurs, and vice versa. I hope everyone will pay more attention in the future.

3. Use the steering wheel correctly

The correct way to hold the steering wheel is nine o'clock on the left and three o'clock on the right, with your hands symmetrically placed on both sides of the steering wheel. Don't leave your hands unless the steering wheel turns more than 180 degrees. For many beginners, they can remember how to operate according to the rules at first, but they ignore these details when they are proficient.

One-handed dish rubbing can be said to be a very common bad action, especially when reversing into the warehouse, which looks chic and sensitive. In fact, there is a small safety hazard, and it is easy to cause scraping accidents when encountering uneven roads or hand sliding.

Generally, drivers of buses and trucks use the steering wheel, so ordinary family cars are really unnecessary. In the process of turning, if there is an emergency, this action will easily make the owner unable to return quickly.

Whether reversing into position or turning, some car owners have the habit of killing the steering wheel, which is also an unconscious wrong operation. If the steering wheel is killed for a long time, the pressure of the booster pump will increase several times or even higher, thus reducing its life. The correct way should be to reset it a little after finishing.

The front row of the car is full of sundries.

"Don't put sundries, especially sharp things, in the storage box next to the handbrake. I knew it was wrong yesterday. After I answered the phone, I put it next to the handbrake. As a result, I was cut by my mobile phone as soon as I released the brake. At first, I lost my skin. Later, I slowly saw blood flowing out of my fingers! " The above is a post posted by a netizen.

Anyone can say that littering in the front row of a car is a bad habit, but if you look closely, you will find that the front row with few people around will be particularly clean. In addition, some car owners like to prepare snacks and fruits in their cars. As time goes on, they will become the pollution source of the air in the car. Miscellaneous things are the process of many a mickle makes a mickle. In addition to the above, messy cars may even have a certain impact on the owner's mood, and these are all optional.

5. Always use air fresheners.

Vehicles used for a long time are prone to smell, and air conditioning pollution has become the primary culprit of vehicle air pollution. Therefore, many car owners will use air fresheners to cover up the odor inside the car. Of course, it's okay to use it occasionally, but it's counterproductive to use it too often. Air freshener is composed of ethanol, essence, deionized water and other components, which can't actually purify the air. If it is used frequently, its volatile components will cause harm to human body. It is suggested that car owners should open more windows to keep air circulation while keeping the car clean.

6. put valuables in the car

I saw this on the internet, "annoying! The window was smashed open! Mobile phone, wallet, cash, ID card, etc. It's all stolen! It's no use reporting! Lesson! ! ! "It's really depressing that this happened. With more and more means of theft, don't think that locking the car door will be safe. Don't leave valuables in the car by chance. What about those things that can only be put in the car except those that can be carried with you? To be on the safe side, try to park your car in a guarded parking lot, and it is best to have a monitoring probe in that place, so that even if you encounter theft, you may report it back.

In addition, you can choose to "upgrade" the vehicle. For example, installing an anti-theft device will automatically alarm if the door switch is abnormal or the car body vibrates abnormally; Install the steering wheel lock, which is a sharp weapon against rampant car thieves; Everyone should also be good at using the manufacturer's vehicle safety system. Some cars have the function of "locating stolen vehicles", and even if they are stolen, they can still be found.

7. Drive to distract yourself

According to some data, the thinking ability and judgment ability of people who use mobile phones while driving are only 1/3 of those of normal people. With the enhancement of everyone's safety awareness, there are very few car owners who take the initiative to use mobile phones, but they can answer calls from family members, colleagues or superiors. I believe most people will pick up the phone and answer it. I won't say much about its danger here. You might as well come back after the bus stops.

A common situation now is that many friends will take out their mobile phones to vent their emotions when waiting for traffic lights or encountering traffic jams. This is also a distraction from driving. It will be really annoying if you accidentally get hit by a fast car behind you. As for adjusting the stereo and air conditioner when driving, it is even more necessary to change it.

When the fire is turned off, electricity is still used.

When waiting for someone, many car owners have the habit of listening to songs or listening to the radio. At this time, the battery is in a working state of only discharging and not charging. After a long time, the vehicle will not be able to start.

In general, the life of a car battery is about two to three years, so we should pay attention to the running state of the car. If the following three situations occur, it should be noted that: first, the starter does not turn or rotates weakly, so that the engine cannot start; Second, the headlights are darker than usual; Third, the volume of the speaker is small or even silent. In addition, don't forget to turn off the headlights and the electronic equipment in the car when turning off the engine.

When you find that the service life of the battery is coming to an end, if you don't want to go to the 4S shop, you should pay more attention to the inspection at ordinary times. Battery inspection mainly depends on two data, one is voltage and the other is starting current. It is best to check in cold state (overnight is better), and the normal voltage value must be higher than 12V, otherwise it will be replaced in time.

9. Ignore roads or bad roads

Although most of the urban roads are paved with asphalt now, quite a few posts have been hurt by the roadside, and netizens can't help but send out the feeling of "cherishing tires and staying away from the roadside".

In addition to normal rolling wear, some automobile tires will be damaged by other external forces. In the case of poor road conditions in the suburbs, rolling pebbles will also cause local excessive wear of tires. So when we see these bad roads, we have to slow down. After all, we are not driving a special off-road vehicle, so there is no need to test our car like this.

Write it at the end

Here we just briefly listed nine items. If we list them in detail, I believe it will be enough to publish a book. These bad habits, such as the use of fresheners and the storage of valuables, are not enough to pose a direct threat to life, but they will affect driving mood more or less. Who doesn't want to have a comfortable and clean driving space? Distraction, incorrect driving posture and incorrect steering wheel are all closely related to driving safety. If these habitual actions are not taken seriously and corrected at ordinary times, then when it comes to a critical moment, we can only pray for God's blessing. In overcoming bad habits, it is better to do it late than never. Good car habits should start from now on.
