The Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day bring joy to the family and the country. In the post-epidemic period, friends traveling by car need to pay attention to these points

The double holidays of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming soon. In the post-epidemic era, I believe many friends can’t help but want to go out and play. Although our country has done a good job in controlling the epidemic, many foreign countries are still in "dire straits." Therefore, during this year's National Day holiday, the proportion of outbound travel will be significantly reduced. Relevant experts predict that the proportion of domestic self-driving tourists will decrease accordingly. Therefore, personal protective measures must be taken when going out to play.

After more than half a year of fighting the epidemic, I believe everyone is already familiar with personal protection. However, when it comes to self-driving travel, many friends may be "forced" to travel. The editor has several examples around me. Since I can't travel abroad and the air tickets during the Golden Week are too expensive, I can only choose self-driving travel.

In fact, self-driving travel is a lot of fun. A group of people can have fun wherever they go. Therefore, self-driving travel is also known as one of the most comfortable and free ways to travel. But before setting off, we still need to check our car. So what aspects require special preparation?

Full vehicle inspection before departure

I believe everyone is familiar with this. Whether it is a self-driving trip or returning to your hometown, long-distance driving is a great test for the vehicle, especially Old cars of a certain age. There are many ways to guide car owners to check the status of their vehicles on the Internet, but in the editor's opinion, although a small number of car owners who are passionate about automobile machinery prefer to do it themselves, most car owners are still willing to go to a nearby 4S store or repair shop. Conduct a comprehensive inspection.

The editor also recommends that car owners give their vehicles to professionals for a comprehensive inspection before using them for long distances. Usually these items are free at 4S stores. If it is an outside repair shop, they will be inspected once. The cost is also very low. In particular, items related to driving safety such as vehicle tire pressure, suspension, and braking systems will be more carefully inspected by professionals to effectively ensure long-distance vehicle use in the future.

Plan your route in advance

Whether you are traveling by car or going back to your hometown, traffic jams are unavoidable during the golden holiday of National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, a friend of the editor was stuck at the Humen Bridge for nearly two days. The mooncakes he planned to take home as gifts have already become a life-saving snack.

Therefore, for those who choose to travel or drive home during the Golden Week, route planning is a top priority. Although the expressway is very efficient in commuting during normal times, the expressway during holidays is not the optimal solution. . In contrast, the national highways that extend in all directions have become our indispensable travel plan B, and we can experience different customs and customs along the way. Compared with the stop-and-go mode of high-speed traffic jams, the "stop-and-go" mode on national highways is It seems more comfortable.

Epidemic protection must be sufficient

Now that the national epidemic has been effectively controlled, Academician Zhong Nanshan still warns us not to take it lightly, especially during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival Golden Week, crowd gatherings will greatly increase the epidemic situation Risk of rebound. For friends who are traveling by car or driving home, when passing by the service area to rest, try not to go to crowded places. It is best to keep a distance of more than one meter when smoking or talking with friends.

In addition, you need to prepare sufficient protective equipment when going out. The editor recommends not to carry high-content alcohol disinfectants/alcohol sprays in the car to prevent fires caused by alcohol exposure to high temperatures in the sun when parking. , the spontaneous combustion incident of GAC New Energy some time ago was caused by the alcohol disinfectant in the car being exposed to high temperatures. It is recommended that you use hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes with a lower alcohol content instead to ensure a safe driving environment in the car.

Written at the end

The Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day are coming soon. In such a rare occasion of celebrating the double festivals of home and country, I hope everyone can get home safely and travel happily. After a month of struggling to get tickets, the editor also successfully got a high-speed rail ticket home. There is no need to wait on the expressway. By the way, I would like to remind friends who take trains or planes to prepare the departure and destination in advance. The health and epidemic prevention QR code can provide health codes in time when entering the station to take a bus or when going out to play and check in, effectively improving traffic efficiency.
