Is it good to travel by car?

I think that people who travel by self-driving are either short-distance peripheral trips within three days such as Saturdays, Sundays, and May Day, and long-term trips of at least ten days. Long-distance travel, some of which travel along a certain route, some travel to a larger area, and some travel long-term according to the geographical location shown on the map.

The advantages of self-driving travel: 1. Great freedom and arbitrariness. You can go wherever you want with your hands on the steering wheel. When you are tired, you can stop and rest. After you have rested, you can decide when you want to hit the road. As long as the scenery is suitable for driving, you can have a panoramic view; 2. It is convenient to carry things. You can easily bring food, drink, supplies, clothing, etc. on the road; 3. You can travel together and take care of each other. You can set off with several people in one car, or you can set off with several cars and a convoy of dozens of people; 4. More people are more powerful, and it is easier to save accommodation expenses. By pooling everyone’s wisdom and strength, problems that arise along the way can be quickly resolved, and you can cope with animals or bad weather with greater ease. If you are pitching a tent at night, it is more convenient to drive and carry the tent, which saves you the cost of staying in a hotel.

Disadvantages of self-driving travel: 1. The driver is too tired. People who drive have tired eyes, tired hearts, high levels of mental stress and back pain. People who drive vehicles cannot see the scenery on the road well. They usually take turns to drive. People who take their turn to rest in the car not only cannot rest well, but also cannot enjoy the scenery on the road. landscape. 2. The transportation cost is not cheaper than taking ordinary public transportation. If you are driving alone for a self-driving tour, the transportation costs on the road, including gas, tolls, bridge tolls, parking fees, etc., are generally the total cost of four people taking ordinary public transport. This is also Not counting the wear and tear of the vehicle, repair fees and insurance premiums, etc., if there are not enough people for more than three people to take turns driving and resting, not to mention the extra money, it will not be an ordinary tiredness, and it will not look good. The scenery along the way makes it difficult to cope with unpredictable risks on the road; 3. It is difficult to reconcile with others. Everyone has different choices of routes and preferences for scenic spots. You like to see mountains and I like to see temples. If we don’t like each other, we can only separate halfway without waiting for the other. Accommodating each other will waste unnecessary time and money. I think that as long as you are particularly fond of traveling and want to see some scenic spots that you must see and be satisfied with so that you don’t feel regretful, you will generally not travel by self-driving. People who take self-driving tours generally love cars more than scenic spots. It is not important that many scenic spots cannot be seen, and some people prefer to live in lively groups; 4. Safety is not high. The places you go on self-driving tours are generally unfamiliar to you. The roads are far away and the road conditions are very unfamiliar. Unless everyone has been a racing driver or has reached the level of driving a passenger, such as some high mountain and canyon areas, especially Ganzi Prefecture and Aba in Sichuan. Some roads in the prefecture, Yunnan and Tibet are difficult to drive on. Some roads are very narrow and it is difficult to pass traffic. Some road sections have rocks on the mountains that have been loosened by weathering and erosion, which is very dangerous for self-drivers who are not familiar with the roads. Especially in heavy rainstorms or mudslides, the risk is even higher. If you take public transport, the driver is a local and is familiar with the terrain, road conditions and weather conditions. Shuttle bus drivers generally follow fixed routes all year round. They know how to go without danger. For example, on some flat ground in Tibet, the road seems to be very good, but once you give way, your left two wheels are on the asphalt road, while your right two wheels are on the earth, rocks and sand. Once you brake suddenly due to lack of friction, If the balance is not balanced, it is easy to cause a rollover accident.
