What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving on Mountain Roads?
1 Answers
Here are the precautions for driving on mountain roads: 1. Strictly adhere to your lane: When driving on curves or areas with poor visibility due to dense trees in mountainous regions, always stay in your lane and keep to the right while controlling your speed. Use your horn appropriately to alert vehicles that might be obscured by the road. Avoid accelerating to overtake or driving into the opposite lane in areas with poor visibility to prevent accidents caused by sudden oncoming vehicles. 2. Maintain a safe distance: Avoid following other vehicles too closely when driving in mountainous areas, as there are many unknown road conditions. If the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, the following vehicle may not react in time, leading to a rear-end collision. When encountering large trucks on mountain roads, try to keep a safe distance, especially on uphill sections, to avoid being behind a large truck in case it stalls and rolls back unexpectedly. 3. Be patient in congested areas: When encountering congestion on narrow roads, wait patiently and do not use the opposite lane to proceed. Congestion ahead may indicate an accident; recklessly driving into the opposite lane can easily cause secondary accidents or worsen the congestion, making it even harder to clear.
