What Are the Precautions for Novice Drivers When Changing Lanes?
2 Answers
Precautions for novice drivers when changing lanes are as follows: 1. When changing lanes, it is not allowed to ride on the lane dividing line, the solid center line of the lane, or the solid edge of the lane for a long time. 2. Only change to the adjacent lane. If it is necessary to change to a farther lane, first change to the adjacent lane and drive for a while before changing to another lane. 3. If encountering an intersection while changing lanes, choose the lane according to the direction you need to travel. Pay attention to entering the guiding lane in the direction indicated by the traffic sign's guiding arrow. 4. It is emphasized that when changing lanes to the left or right, it should not be too slow. If driving with the wheels on the line for a long distance, it will affect other vehicles. The best distance to change lanes is between 50 to 60 meters.
As an experienced driver, I believe new drivers should be extra cautious when changing lanes. Keep these key points in mind: First, always check blind spots and rearview mirrors - many accidents occur due to missing those corner checks. Second, signal your intention by activating the turn signal at least three seconds in advance. Third, ensure there's sufficient space and speed difference - never force your way into congested lanes. Fourth, make smooth and gradual movements, turning the steering wheel gently without sudden jerks. Fifth, maintain consistent speed or slightly accelerate - avoid sudden braking. Sixth, be mindful of weather conditions - exercise extra caution during rain or fog when visibility is poor. Finally, stay calm psychologically - take deep breaths to steady your mindset. Practice a few times in safe conditions and it'll become second nature.
