When encountering an emergency while driving, the solutions are: 1. Brake to reduce speed, bringing the vehicle to a stop or low-speed movement; 2. Hold the steering wheel firmly and avoid making large turns. Precautions for driving on the road include: 1. Pay attention to vehicles behind when turning or changing lanes, judge the distance, and turn on the turn signal in advance before changing lanes or turning; 2. Observe the traffic conditions through the rearview mirror in time when changing lanes, reversing, or overtaking; 3. Observe various traffic signs in advance to avoid penalties for violations; 4. Make a wide left turn and ensure right turns do not affect the straight lane; 5. Avoid excessive or frequent steering wheel adjustments and correct the direction promptly if the vehicle tends to deviate; 6. Maintain a safe driving distance; 7. Be aware of the large blind spots of trucks and stay away or pay close attention to their driving conditions when encountering them on the road.
As an experienced driver, I believe the key in emergencies is to stay calm and avoid panic. For example, when experiencing brake failure, immediately press the clutch to downshift and reduce speed, gently pull the handbrake to assist in stopping, while firmly holding the steering wheel to avoid erratic turns and prevent rollover. Observe the rearview mirror for the movement of vehicles behind, then slowly move to a safe spot by the roadside. After stopping, turn on the hazard lights and quickly set up a triangular warning sign to alert following vehicles. Develop good habits in daily driving: check tire pressure and the brake system for normal operation, maintain at least a three-second safety distance from the vehicle ahead to provide more buffer space in case of an incident. It's advisable to practice emergency braking at low speeds to understand the vehicle's performance. Safety comes first, so take preventive measures. After an incident, remember to go to a 4S shop for a comprehensive inspection and repair.
