What is aggressive driving?
1 Answers
Aggressive driving refers to operating a vehicle in an irregular manner that violates standard driving practices, such as prolonged high-speed driving in low gears or low-speed driving in high gears, sudden braking, rapid acceleration, failing to slow down when turning, and performing donuts. These actions can cause vehicle damage or lead to accidents, and are abnormal operations that must be avoided or eliminated. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Consequences of aggressive driving: Aggressive driving directly impacts the engine, transmission, and vehicle body, especially when starting the car by flooring the accelerator, which raises the engine speed while the temperature and lubrication are insufficient. This exacerbates engine wear and poses risks such as engine seizure or cylinder scoring. Sudden braking also affects the braking system, accelerating the wear of brake pads and discs, as well as tires, leading to reduced braking efficiency and longer stopping distances, thereby increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents. 2. Precautions for driving: During the break-in period, a car's load should not exceed 75% of its rated capacity. New cars should carry less than the specified weight or number of passengers, and overloading must be avoided, as it places additional strain on the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension system, and other components, accelerating wear and causing damage to the vehicle.
