As the saying goes, old drivers use the accelerator to drive, new drivers usebrakeDrive.
A more accurate understanding of this sentence should be that the savvy driver uses the accelerator to control the speed, and the student driver uses the brake to control the speed.carAlthough driving is a skilled job, due to different personal understandings, people who have driven for many years may not be much different from those who have driven for a period of time. This is what we often say that driving depends on understanding. I met an old taxi driver who had driven a car for N years and a novice who did not drive as much as a few months!
The accelerator and the brake are the two major factors that control the speed of the vehicle. A good grasp of these two factors, not to mention fuel saving, also reduces the loss of vehicle parts and prolongs the service life of the vehicle. So how to understand the speed control of accelerator and brake?
First of all, you must be clear about the road conditions you put yourself on. Road conditions determine the opening method. What kind of road conditions determine what kind of driving style: the amount of airspace ahead, other motor vehicles on the road, non-motor vehicles, pedestrians, road obstacles, etc. According to the road conditions, the fuel-efficient driving method is to use appropriate road conditions as far as possible to correspond to the car's most fuel-efficient driving speed. For example, if there is 100 meters of airspace ahead, your current gear is gear 3 and the speed is 40. Did you finish the 100 meters in 3rd gear 40? Still: First step on the accelerator to increase the speed to 50 or even 60 in the shortest time, and then increase to 4 gears. Note that after raising 4 gears, no fuel will be added, but the 4th gear will slide until the end of 100 meters. Which of these two methods is more fuel-efficient? The answer is obviously the latter!
So, from this point of view, not all deep stepping on the accelerator is bound to waste gas. It is true that the moment you step on the gas pedal is a waste of gas, but in this way, the economic driving time is gained, and the subsequent economic driving speed recovers the amount of fuel wasted due to the instant refueling. From the perspective of the entire driving range, it is still It is fuel efficient.
The brakes are also crucial to the control of vehicle speed. Braking is to reduce the speed of the vehicle, but the way to reduce the speed is not only to brake. The accelerator is also a method to control the speed of the vehicle (equivalent to braking)!
Releasing the throttle or not pressing the throttle is sometimes a better way to slow down than the brakes.
One principle of driving is that you can use the throttle to slow down without using the brakes to slow down. In many cases, according to the road conditions ahead, it is much better to release the throttle in advance and slide with the block in advance than blindly refuel and wait until it seems too late to step on the brakes! Therefore, we have repeatedly said that the savvy driver uses the accelerator to control the speed, and the student driver uses the brake to control the speed. After all, we are not on a racing track. Driving in our daily lives and driving a car are two completely different concepts.
