Many people like to travel by car. What should we pay attention to?

Nowadays, many people like to travel by car. The itinerary of self-driving travel is free, and you can also enjoy the scenery along the way. However, self-driving travel must be well prepared in advance to avoid unexpected events on the way that cannot be handled and affect the safety of the passengers. Travel plan. So what should you pay attention to when traveling by car? Let me share it with you below.

1. The first thing to do is of course to check multiple functions of the entire vehicle. You can go to a 4S shop for maintenance to ensure that the engine oil, antifreeze, brakes, etc. are all in good condition.

2. Prepare the required documents, such as: driving license, driver's license, ID card, border defense certificate. Many places start checking border defense certificates more than 100 kilometers away from the border. Of course, it doesn’t mean you don’t need it if you plan to go near the border; you can put the documents together in a bag and put them in the armrest box. When you encounter inspection or need documents, you can take them out as soon as possible without having to worry about them. I've been looking here and there but can't find it.

3. Prepare some glass water, antifreeze, and engine oil. You don’t need to prepare too much, but you still need to prepare some small bottles. Some bad road conditions may cause some Oil and water are consumed too quickly, so once it is low, add more to be safer.

4. In addition to using in-car navigation and mobile phone navigation, you need to bring paper maps or print maps, or bring information about the route. The text description is printed out, and it also comes with a compass; in the wild, car navigation that receives satellite signals often does not work well. At this time, you can only rely on paper maps and compasses to find your way and direction. If you can't understand it, it is recommended not to go to some remote places, it will be very dangerous.

5. Bring a power station, which is a large battery, an air pump, something that can be used to jump start the car, with lights, and USB and standard power interfaces. . When traveling long distances, anything may happen, so bring this one with you to pump up gas, emergency start, and charge your mobile phone and computer.

6. When packing your luggage and loading the car, be sure to think about what is frequently used and needs to be accessed frequently, and what is only used occasionally. Frequently used things should be placed on the outside or on the top so that everything is easily accessible. Otherwise, the suitcase is misplaced and you have to unload and put it back again, which wastes a lot of time and makes you really tired.

Luggage

7. Prepare enough water and food. Generally, highways are free during holidays, so even if you don’t run in no-man’s land, you may still be in a dilemma due to traffic jams on the road. There is enough food and drink, but if you are stuck in a traffic jam for a whole day, you will either go hungry, be ripped off by people selling food on the roadside, or knock on the windows of other people’s cars to ask for alms. There are many, but it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Everyone is out and about, trying not to cause trouble to others.

Bread

8. Don’t drive while fatigued. If you drive alone for two or three hours, stop and rest for at least half an hour. If there is a co-driver, take turns driving, even if you don’t feel sleepy. , but if you drive for a long time, your brain will become involuntarily inoperable. No matter how good an experienced driver you are, safety comes first when you go out.

Pay attention to rest

9. When encountering bad weather, such as heavy rain, fog, snow, etc., you need to drive carefully and drive out quickly when you encounter an exit. If it is impossible, stop on the side of the road. , don’t drive hard just because you are in a hurry or just to show off your abilities. Visibility is low. When you see the situation in front of you, you won’t have time to apply the brakes. Moreover, in rainy and snowy weather, the road surface is slippery. If you encounter an emergency, don't slam on the brakes. The correct way is to brake quickly and intermittently to hold the direction.

Bad weather

9. A first aid kit is a must, with some common medicines and a large thermos bottle. When you go out to play, you might get bumped into someone or get into an accident. You might get bleeding or a broken skin, so you need to disinfect it in time. If you have a cold or fever, take a pill as soon as possible. Many inconspicuous things may kill you. There is nothing wrong with being cautious. Fill the thermos with hot water every time before setting off. When playing outside, if you catch a cold, have a bad stomach, or just have gastrointestinal discomfort for no reason, drink some universal hot water or fill it with hot water to drink. Still very useful.

10. Pay attention to the fuel gauge. Don’t wait until you see the gas is running out before you remember to refuel. Also pay attention to the road signs to see how far it is from the next gas station and service area, and check whether there is enough gas in the tank. It would be embarrassing if you were stranded on the side of the road because your car was out of gas, even though I mentioned it before. You need to get some engine oil, but that won't help if there's no gas station very far away.

Pay attention to gas

11. When parking somewhere, especially in a hotel parking lot, take all important items to the room, especially documents, and put the rest in a hidden location. Take the trunk, for example, and have fun when you go out. You definitely don’t want to delay your trip by running to the police station or repairing the glass.
