DRIVING
Crossroad
With many pedestrians or vehicles, traffic
accidents are quite likely to happen at a
crossroad. Therefore, stay highly focused
when driving through a crossroad. If traffic
lights are installed at a crossroad, follow the
guidance of the tra󰀩c lights to drive through
the crossroad; if not, keep an eye on the
pedestrians or vehicles and confirm the
safety before driving through the crossroad.
Curve road
During driving through a curve road, the
faster the speed is and the faster the steering
wheel is rotated, the greater the inertia of the
vehicle is and the greater the centrifugal force
is, leading to vehicle sideslip easily or even
rollover. Accordingly, decelerate in advance,
rotate the steering wheel slowly and pay
attention to the front traffic conditions when
driving through a curve road.
Slope
Before driving uphill, carefully check if the
vehicle is loaded uniformly and reasonably,
check the condition of the vehicle, braking
performance in particular, and try the braking
e󰀨ect if necessary.
Before driving downhill, check the braking
performance carefully. It is forbidden to shut
down the engine or engage the neutral gear
for coasting. If the brake fails, release the
accelerator pedal, control the vehicle speed
with the vehicle’s own drag, and decisively
take advantage of a natural obstacle to block
the vehicle and consume its inertia so that
the vehicle is parked at the natural obstacle
to get out of danger.
