How Should Drivers Conduct a 360-Degree Safety Check Around the Vehicle Before Getting In?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction to the method of conducting a 360-degree safety check around the vehicle before getting in: 1. The method of the 360-degree check: Before getting into the vehicle, drivers should develop the habit of walking around the car to inspect the vehicle's exterior and the surrounding area, including underneath the car. Starting from the front door, walk counterclockwise around the vehicle to check the exterior, tires, and license plate; observe for any signs of fluid leakage. Only after confirming there are no people, small animals, or other obstacles under or around the vehicle that could affect safe departure should the driver get in. 2. The reason for checking counterclockwise: Since China implements right-hand traffic, vehicles are generally parked on the right side of the road. Drivers need to enter the driver's seat from the left side. At this time, conducting a counterclockwise check starting from the left front door ensures the driver can see oncoming traffic and road conditions from behind, making it safer.
