What to Do When the Chosen Meeting Position Before Oncoming Traffic is Not Ideal?
1 Answers
When the chosen meeting position before oncoming traffic is not ideal, you should slow down, proceed at a low speed, or stop to yield. Here are the precautions to take during oncoming traffic: 1. First Look: Observe the type, speed, and load of the oncoming vehicle, the width of the road ahead, pedestrians and vehicles on the roadside, parked vehicles, and obstacles. 2. Second Estimate: Through observation and comparison, estimate the approximate position and road occupation when the two vehicles meet, leaving an appropriate lateral safety gap. 3. Third Slow Down: Reduce speed when meeting oncoming traffic. If conditions are poor as you approach the meeting point, control your speed further and avoid meeting blindly. If necessary, stop first to ensure a smooth meeting of the two vehicles. Also, pay attention to the rules regarding yielding and yield in a timely and reasonable manner. At night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, switch from high beams to low beams when meeting oncoming traffic.
