Five troubles in go on road trip, China

Question 1: How inconvenient the journey is.

The service system is underdeveloped.

Miss Chen, who likes go on road trip, has traveled all over Beijing suburbs and Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other provinces. She was deeply impressed by China's underdeveloped service system in expressway. Miss Chen said that except for expressway and National Highway, where the road conditions and service areas are relatively good, it is difficult to guarantee the road conditions at the county and township levels. Many of them don't have street lamps, so it is difficult to drive at night. In addition, there is a general lack of special rest areas near expressway, which can not alleviate the fatigue of long-distance driving and easily lead to accidents.

In the interview, the reporter learned that expressway's service abroad is more thoughtful. In Turkey, when the weather is hot, there is a special person in the roadside service area to wash the car and cool down for free, and also distribute drinks for free. Most gas stations on interstate highways in the United States have shower rooms and self-service laundry rooms.

In addition, the service system of scenic spots is not perfect. Many scenic spots lack perfect reservation systems, budget hotels, parking lots, maintenance centers and medical points.

Question 2: Being in distress is very troublesome.

Vehicle rescue is not perfect.

It is understood that at present, there are not many networked car rescue clubs in China, and their chain stores are mainly concentrated in big cities. Small and medium-sized cities and remote areas are not in the professional rescue network at all.

Mr. Zhang, who has had five road trips, said that it is really troublesome for tourists to be in distress in other places-the government does not have a special rescue team, and tourists don't trust rescue clubs that they don't understand; Looking for a rescue club to live in, the trailer fee is very high, every10km 15 yuan. There have been cases where rescue teams asked tourists for high fares after they arrived.

In August this year, Mr. Zhang had a dangerous experience in Hulunbeier grassland. At that time, because the dirt road was narrow and slippery in rainy days, when he was on a slope, his car skidded and retreated to the mound behind him, and the exhaust pipe was blocked. The rescue team also failed to pull up his jeep. There are no professional rescue teams in remote places. Finally, they had to dig out the exhaust pipe first. After hitting the car, several migrant workers hired at their own expense carried the car out.

Question 3: I am most afraid of injuries.

Lack of personal safety protection

At present, the domestic safety rescue organization and ability are insufficient, which can not meet the needs of self-driving tourism. Many self-driving tourists often encounter situations such as being robbed halfway, being stolen in camping, and being injured.

Li Changqing of Shenzhou Travel Agency told reporters that many go on road trip motorcades like to drive to remote areas now, and once tourists get sick or have traffic accidents there, they will be in trouble. The main reason is that there are not enough medical points in remote areas and the cost of bringing your own doctor is too high.

On one occasion, Li Changqing took a group to Inner Mongolia by car, and while resting at a place more than 0/00 kilometers away from Xilinhot/Kloc-,a tourist in the group was suddenly hit by a passing car, and the tourist suddenly fainted, which frightened everyone. There is no hospital nearby, and the rescue vehicle takes the injured to Xilinhot to find the hospital. Fortunately, the tourist was only injured and his life was not in danger.

Li Changqing said that in recent years, the development of tour groups in road trip has been relatively slow, because travel agencies are unwilling to organize large-scale tours, especially long-distance routes across several provinces, for fear of accidents on the road.

Question 4: I often take detours.

Traffic information is too old.

"At present, there are many books or atlases such as travel guides on the market, but most of the information is old or inaccurate and not detailed. Some atlases were published five years ago and are still being printed. " Miss Chen said that once she drove to a resort in the suburbs of Beijing, and according to the route on the map, she had to turn right when she got out of the main road, but there was no way to go after turning.

Li Changqing said that once he took a delegation from Aershan to Hailar. According to the map, there is a straight road between the two places. But there is no such way! As a result, everyone took many detours to reach their destination.

Why is this happening? Because some departments monopolize the publication of maps, even some landmark locations have to be marked on the map with money. If you don't pay, you won't find it on the map. In this way, public information has become a monopoly resource. Another reason is the rapid development of roads and the slow update of maps, which leads to outdated road map information. In addition, the road sign system is not perfect, and there are few road signs or unclear guidance, which leads to less detours or traffic accidents for drivers.

Question 5: 50 cents per kilometer

There are too many toll stations along the way.

Excessive tolls are also a major problem that hinders the development of road travel.

Li Changqing said that according to his three or four years' experience in organizing tours, the average toll is 50 cents per kilometer, and 1000 kilometers requires 500 yuan. Plus the cost of gasoline, if there are only one or two people in a car, the cost will be higher than that by train.

Mr. Zhang told reporters that he and his wife went to Hulunbeier grassland for a round trip of 3,600 kilometers, and the toll and gasoline expenses were about 2,000 yuan. If you take more routes to expressway, the cost will be higher.

insurance

Something happened when I went to road trip.

The maximum compensation is 654.38+ten thousand yuan.

On September 18, Taiping Life Insurance Beijing Branch and Beijing Zhonglian Chemeng Network Technology Service Co., Ltd. jointly launched "Zhonglian Chemeng Self-driving Accidental Injury", which tied the risks of self-driving and tourism together for the first time.

Previously, most of the company's travel accident insurance only faced group customers and did not cover individuals who traveled by themselves; However, some self-driving car insurance only covers the risks caused by accidents during driving. "China United Automobile Alliance Self-driving Accidental Injury" is the first product to cover the whole risk of self-driving travel. With short-distance and long-distance insurance, the insured can get 5 days or 10 days of accidental injury insurance and accidental injury medical insurance protection only by paying 20 yuan or 40 yuan, with a maximum coverage of 654.38+10,000 yuan. Taiping Life Insurance said that the insurance can provide the insured with the services of "online insurance, billing in Beijing and settlement in different places".

The secret of traveling on the road

Before departure, check the whole lubricating oil system, including gearbox and gearbox, chassis, brakes, direction, lighting, tires, suspension, oil, water and electricity lubricating oil. According to the map and the information provided by friends who have passed the route, you should know the location of road conditions, food, accommodation, gas stations and so on.

Reasonable arrangement of driving distance on the way can prevent fatigue driving. It is suggested that the daily mileage of expressway is about 300-400 km, and that of ordinary highways is about 200-300 km. Pay attention to the running condition of the vehicle at any time, listen to the sound of the engine running, look at the monitoring instrument, and smell the wires, clutches and brake pads.

When passing through a mountain road on a special section, you should choose the middle of the road or the side near the mountain. When turning, keep in mind the essentials of "slowing down, honking and keeping to the right" and always pay attention to oncoming traffic and road conditions; When encountering a steep slope, you should change the middle gear or low gear in advance according to the climbing ability of the vehicle. To keep the vehicle fully powered, never wait for the inertia of the vehicle to disappear before shifting gears. If the vehicle fails to shift gears, it will stall and then run away. Should you stop the vehicle immediately with the foot brake and the hand brake? Never step on the clutch pedal, okay? K. If you still can't stop the car, turn the steering wheel to the side of the mountain, lean the rear of the car against the mountain, and stop the car with natural obstacles. When going downhill, you can use the resistance of the engine and the foot brake to control the speed and avoid neutral sliding.
