What should I pay special attention to when driving in mountainous areas?
The prominent features of roads in mountainous areas are high mountains, steep slopes, narrow roads, sharp bends, poor sight, icy roads in winter, foggy roads in autumn, muddy roads in rainy days in summer and many landslides in flood season. Characteristics of road safety driving in mountainous areas 1. Human factors. A large number of rural surplus laborers in mountainous areas flock to cities to work. These people have low cultural quality and weak safety awareness, and they are prone to traffic accidents when walking, riding bicycles and taking buses. Drivers are often in a state of tension, mental fatigue and traffic accidents. Especially in recent years, the number of motor vehicle drivers has increased greatly, with less driving time and low technical quality. Many of them have obtained driving qualifications, have little or no driving experience, and are prone to traffic accidents. Motorists in other cities are unfamiliar with mountain road conditions and unknown environment, and have no experience in dealing with mountain road emergencies, which is prone to traffic accidents. 2. Characteristics of vehicle technical equipment. After the reform and opening up, the number of cars has greatly increased, and the traffic density of vehicles has increased: First, the number of vehicles has increased year by year; Second, the number of driving at night has increased; Third, passenger and freight vehicles are developing to large, medium, small, high, middle and low grade. The technical performance of vehicles is quite different, the types of vehicle resource allocation structure are increasing, and the technical performance and safety factor are relatively lower than the original roads. The vans of transportation enterprises are old and aging, and enterprises have no funds to update and transform. Some vehicles that are close to scrapping are still driving. Those that are scrapped will not be scrapped, and those that are updated will not be updated. Vehicles are frequently bought and sold between units or individuals, and the technical performance of vehicles mastered by drivers often changes, which is easy to cause traffic accidents during driving and adaptation. 3. The road environment in mountainous areas is characterized by many bends, sharp bends, steep slopes and narrow roads, with great seasonal changes, icy roads, muddy roads, dangerous roads and foggy roads, with incomplete road warning signs or warning signs, and the phenomenon of roadside market towns occupying roads still exists, which is prone to traffic accidents. 4. Safety management. There are many roads in mountainous areas, long lines, few safety management personnel, no funds and equipment, and it is difficult to track and inspect on the spot, which leads to frequent supervision and inspection of "three violations". There is no supervision and management means for running bicycles, and drivers' awareness of driving safety is weakened, which is prone to traffic accidents. "Five Commandments" for Road Driving in Mountainous Areas Our country has a vast territory, many roads in mountainous areas, and the situation is complicated, and the road traffic accidents in mountainous areas remain high. Judging from the cause of the accident, most of them are caused by improper driving operation by drivers. Therefore, it is necessary to master the correct driving "essentials" and overcome the incorrect operation methods. To sum up, there are five precepts. 1. Stop sliding. There are many lessons in sliding gears. Especially when driving on mountain roads, the traction function of the engine is lost after leaving the gear. Because there are many steep slopes on mountain roads, vehicles will slide faster and faster, which is prone to accidents in case of unexpected situations. 2. Stop the emergency braking. The roads in mountainous areas are steep, steep and narrow, and the situation is complicated. Drivers should drive carefully according to road conditions, pay attention to traffic dynamics, take predictive braking measures when finding the situation, and handle it safely. It is strictly forbidden to drive blindly at high speed. In case of emergency braking, it is easy to cause braking deviation and sideslip, resulting in vehicle rollover. At the same time, the braking distance is insufficient during emergency braking, so it is difficult to cope with unexpected situations. Don't encroach on each other's path. The roads in mountainous areas are surrounded by mountains and waters, and the roads are curved, so the driver's sight is poor and the sight distance is short, and the road surface directly seen by the driver is limited. In this case, if the driving vehicle occupies the other side's driving route, because it is on the curve and the "W" road, it is impossible for both sides to find each other prematurely in the jungle. When they suddenly meet, they can't return to their own driving route, which is easy to cause scratches and crashes. 4. Don't slam the direction. The roads in mountainous areas are narrow and steep, and the stability of vehicles on such roads is inherently poor. When going up a steep slope and turning sharply, the vehicle will roll over with the help of centrifugal force, especially heavy vehicles. 5. Don't rob the meeting. If you work overtime on the mountain road, you must obey the traffic regulations, be polite to the guests, stop for three minutes without grabbing a second, go your own way, overtake if you can, and meet the car safely. If we overtake, it will disrupt the normal traffic order. Especially when overtaking on mountain roads, pay attention to the overtaken and oncoming vehicles, and overtake safely after confirming the safety of vertical and horizontal distances. The driving situation on mountain roads is complex, with small safety factor and many potential unsafe factors. While paying attention to the above five precepts, we should also pay attention to the withdrawal of complaints and the stability of vehicles to ensure driving safety and reduce accidents. The characteristics of mountain road driving three elements mountain road are "three more" and "three different" "Three more" means: more slopes, more bends and more urgency. The "three differences" are: narrow roads, poor road conditions, large blind areas, poor vision, and poor awareness of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles consciously obeying traffic rules. Because of this, if you are not careful when driving in mountainous areas, traffic accidents may happen at any time. Especially in blind detours or areas with poor sight, the possibility of accidents is greater. In order to reduce or avoid accidents, drivers should not only concentrate and drive carefully, but also take the initiative according to the specific conditions and characteristics of mountain roads, strange roads and complex roads. 1. Slow mountain road, mostly sharp bends, sometimes continuous sharp bends, with long and steep slopes. If you enter the corner at high speed, it will not only be difficult for the vehicle to turn, but also it will be too late to hit the direction in serious cases. First, it will make the vehicle off the road, causing danger or accidents; The second is to make the longitudinal stability of the car worse, thus causing sideslip or even rollover. Especially in the sections with small adhesion coefficients such as snow, rain and mud, the above risks are even greater. Therefore, when driving in mountainous areas, we should pay special attention to observing traffic signs and slow down in advance to prevent detours. This should be done even more when there are blind spots or unfamiliar roads, traffic signs are not perfect, you can't see the opposite situation clearly, and you don't know the size of the bend, so as to prevent accidents. 2. Before the horn approaches the corner, while slowing down, you must pay attention to honking the horn in advance and listen to whether the other party honks the horn. It is particularly emphasized here that you don't have to honk your horn in class, but you must honk your horn. The purpose is to inform and warn the other pedestrians and other vehicles to attract attention, so that they can be psychologically prepared, take action in operation and take corresponding measures in advance. Driving on the right and driving on the right side of the road are traffic rules that pedestrians and all vehicles must abide by. In mountainous areas, the new forces have many bends, narrow roads and sometimes heavy fog, so they can't see each other clearly at all. Therefore, only by going your own way can you drive safely and avoid accidents. When driving in a blind spot on a mountain road or in a bad sight, remember the three elements of "slowing down, honking and keeping to the right" when turning. Only in this way can we always take the initiative and ensure driving safety. When people talk about mountain roads, they will naturally think of concepts such as cliffs, rugged rocks, steep slopes, low-grade or other roads. Undoubtedly, this situation is indeed a true portrayal of some mountain roads. However, with the rapid development of highway transportation infrastructure today, many high-grade, high-grade or even higher-grade highways have been built in many mountainous areas, many steep slope sections have been transformed, and a highway network extending in all directions has been or is being formed. It is this rapid development that greatly improves the service level and traffic capacity of mountain roads and lays a good foundation for safe and efficient transportation of mountain roads. On the whole, the service level and traffic capacity of mountain roads are far behind those of cities and plain roads, and there are many insurmountable and unpredictable hidden dangers in mountain roads. Therefore, driving on mountain roads requires drivers to pay attention to professional ethics, have good psychological quality and business skills, and be able to adjust the speed in time according to the changes of road alignment, environment and other related factors to adapt to various changing conditions, so as to ensure driving safety and achieve the purpose of safe and efficient transportation.
