What are the principles for emergency avoidance on highways?
1 Answers
When encountering emergencies on highways, the principle of 'avoid people first, then objects' should be adhered to. Emergency avoidance measures should not exceed necessary limits to avoid causing undue harm. Here is supplementary information: 1. When a breakdown requires inspection: Park in the emergency lane, do not attempt repairs on the driving lane. If the vehicle cannot temporarily leave the emergency lane or shoulder due to a breakdown, the driver and passengers should exit the vehicle and wait in a safe area outside the roadside guardrail. 2. In case of accidental collision with a guardrail: Steady the steering wheel, quickly turn towards the side of the collision to force the vehicle to slow down and stop. 3. When encountering abnormal situations or accidents: Turn on the hazard warning lights, evacuate people, correctly place hazard warning signs, and minimize losses as much as possible. Never cause secondary accidents or greater losses due to emergency avoidance. 4. Preventing and dealing with 'hydroplaning': When driving a motor vehicle on a highway in rainy conditions, if 'hydroplaning' occurs, gently lift the accelerator pedal to slow down, and do not use emergency braking to decelerate.
