Precautions for safe travel in autumn

In the cool and refreshing autumn season, many people like to go outdoors, such as cycling. However, in this process, it is easy for some unfavorable factors to affect safety. It is very easy to have rainy and foggy weather in autumn. If you are not well prepared when traveling, it may easily cause some safety hazards. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to these common sense of autumn travel safety.

1. Preparation before driving

1. People will experience "autumn fatigue" in autumn, which will lead to lack of energy and lack of concentration. Therefore, it is necessary to get enough sleep and eat a proper diet to ensure that you can concentrate on driving and avoid accidents.

2. Before driving in autumn, pay attention to the weather forecast and road conditions, and make timely preparations to prevent fog and rain.

3. When driving in autumn, people will feel like they are in a hurry and will subconsciously drive faster than in summer. Therefore, you should drive steadily and preferably at a medium speed.

4. Before traveling, wipe the windshield, headlights and taillights clean, and check whether the lighting devices are in good condition, especially the fog lights. This is especially important on foggy days!

5. There are nine things to pay attention to when maintaining your car in autumn, namely: vehicle exterior maintenance; tire maintenance; engine compartment maintenance; brake system maintenance; heater duct and fan maintenance; air inlet or grille electronic fan maintenance; air conditioning maintenance; battery maintenance; interior maintenance.

2. Pay attention while driving

1. In autumn, visibility decreases, the road surface becomes slippery, the car's adhesion decreases, and driving conditions become worse. When the vehicle skids, you should use the "point braking" method and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid to control the skidding vehicle. Do not apply the brakes.

2. In windy weather, pedestrians and cyclists are often in front of vehicles and may suddenly turn to gain the upper hand or ride in a panic because the wind affects their vision. In this situation, drivers must drive carefully, keep an eye on pedestrians and vehicles at all times, and adopt preventive measures to ensure the safety of themselves and others.

3. After rain, a thin layer of mud will form on the road, and the friction coefficient between the wheels and the road will be weakened. This is a major obstacle to driving safety and one of the main causes of traffic accidents. Therefore, drivers should pay more attention and watch out when driving on slippery roads due to autumn rain. Do not coast in neutral, nor follow the vehicle in front too closely. It is better to drive at a moderate speed and avoid sudden braking. At the same time, pay attention to sideways sliding and landslides on slopes, lane changes and complex road conditions.

If you want to better avoid being affected by some adverse factors during your travels, then you need to pay special attention to the common sense issues introduced above, because many times some safety hazards occur because you do not pay enough attention to details, so in order to better ensure your health, everyone needs to pay attention to these common sense.
