What are the car requirements for go on road trip to go to Tibet? What should I pay attention to?

Precautions:

1, it is best to drive an off-road vehicle.

Many mountain roads in Tibetan areas are unpaved gravel roads. When it rains, cars are basically unable to drive, and small mudslides often occur in Tibetan areas. Although the possibility of washing away the road is very low, it is easy to block the way of the car. So off-road vehicles are the first choice.

Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive was originally a necessary function of all off-road vehicles. Even those fashionable SUVs specially designed for cities have four-wheel drive function, but the frame is often low and easy to break down when driving on uneven roads. No one could help at that time.

2. Be careful of cattle and sheep.

When driving in Tibetan areas, you often meet cattle and sheep crossing the road. It is the driver's "duty" to pay attention to avoiding cattle and sheep. If you accidentally bump into cattle and sheep, the consequences will be very serious.

3. learn car repair skills.

In Tibetan areas, few people can see after driving all day. If the car breaks down every day, it is very important to learn some simple repair skills, such as changing tires. Carry spare tires and other wearing parts with the vehicle, especially spare tires. Sand and gravel that often appears on roads in Tibetan areas and many unpaved roads will be the biggest enemy of tires.

4. Calculate the time to eat and live.

Tibetan areas are sparsely populated and distributed in different plains, so it is very important to calculate the daily itinerary before departure. Where to eat and where to live must be calculated in advance, otherwise you will have to sleep on the street or catch the night road if you miss the market town. On the plateau, catching the night road is a very dangerous thing, which is not only dangerous but also easy to get lost.

5, the vehicle must be strong.

In addition to the solid body and frame, the roof that is generally unnoticed should be thick enough. Because driving on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is easy to cause accidents such as rollover, the roof with a thickness of more than 3mm is less likely to be crushed by a heavy body when it is overturned, which protects the safety of passengers in the car. In this respect, those fashionable SUVs often do poorly.

6. Be careful of the stones on the road.

The habit of driving in Tibet is that if the car breaks down, you don't put warning signs, but put countless stones of different sizes on the front, back, left and right sides of the car, and then remove them when the car is repaired.

7. Score 12.

Don't think that only people have altitude sickness and cars also have altitude sickness. The most direct reaction is that the power is weakened, the brakes are softened, and the noise increases when accelerating. The vehicle control is not as handy as when we are in the plain, and the driver must be awake.
