What is the Wrong Practice Before Driving a Motor Vehicle?
2 Answers
Before driving a motor vehicle, the wrong practice is adjusting the height of the headrest to align it with the driver's cervical spine. Below is the classification of car seats: By Shape: Separate seats, bench seats. By Function: Fixed, removable, adjustable. By Seating Capacity: Single, double, multi-person seats. Below is extended information on the role of child safety seats: Seat Belt: The role of a child safety seat is equivalent to that of a seat belt. Protection: The sides of child safety seats are raised, providing better wrapping and thus better protection for the child's sides and head. Reducing Injury: In the event of a car collision or sudden deceleration, it can reduce the impact force on the child and limit the child's body movement, thereby mitigating injuries.
A common mistake I used to make before driving was being in too much of a hurry to leave, getting in the car without checking its condition and driving off immediately. Once, I didn't notice a flat tire and ended up with a blowout halfway, which almost caused an accident. Other wrong practices include not adjusting the seat and mirrors, increasing blind spots and the risk of collisions; being distracted by using my phone or eating, which delays reaction time; pushing myself to drive when fatigued, where even closing my eyes for a few seconds could cause an accident; and forgetting to fasten the seatbelt or drinking a little before driving under the influence, which carries high legal risks and endangers both myself and others. I've learned my lesson and now take a few minutes before each drive to walk around the car to check the tires, lights, and fuel gauge, ensuring I'm alert and my phone is on silent. Small habits save lives—don't be lazy, safety first.
