Overtaking with cars, parallel overtaking, and overtaking on mountain roads can easily lead to accidents
It is said that driving has to watch six roads, but in many cases, due to road conditions or other vehicle reasons, the vision of riders is blocked when overtaking, and blind spots appear, and accidents are more likely to occur. Therefore, through consulting some old drivers and driving instructors, we have summarized several situations that are prone to blind spots when overtaking. We hope that riders can pay attention to these situations when overtaking and avoid traffic accidents.
Overtaking
Beware of the traffic coming from the opposite side
Che You Ms. Wang hurried back to her hometown in the countryside once in a hurry. Because a slow car blocked the way, Ms. Wang followed the car in front of her to change lanes and overtake.Unexpectedly, after passing the local car, the car in front drove back to the right lane next to the local car. At this time, Ms. Wang saw a car on the opposite side rushing towards her, and there was another car on the right that could not change lanes, so she had to urgentlybrake, It was lucky to avoid an accident.
Generally, when you encounter a slow car on a road with only two lanes in both directions, it is easy for the rider to overtake with the car in front, because to do so, you only need to follow the car in front, overtake the slow car, and then change lanes together. NS. But have you ever thought that when following a car and overtaking, if there is a car on the opposite side quickly, the car in front will merge the car in front of the slow car urgently, and the car friends following may be caught by the front car because of the line of sight? The block cannot take measures first. After the car in front merged in an emergency, the car on the opposite side suddenly appeared in front of you, and the lane on the right was blocked by the car, which made it easy for two cars to collide head-on.
Parallel overtaking
Watch out for pedestrians on the right front
Master Ye is a veteran driver who started as a driver training coach 8 years ago. On a drive home, because a truck driving in the same direction was too slow, he forced to overtake from the left. While passing the truck, a pedestrian on a bicycle suddenly jumped out from the front of the truck. Master Ye was too late to brake and knocked down the cyclist, causing a car accident.
When overtaking two cars are driving side by side, because the speed of the car is fast and the vehicle is close, it is a high-risk period for overtaking. At this point, if the overtaken vehicle discovers that there is a situation and suddenly evades to the left, it will easily cause the vehicle behind to be crowded. I believe that most riders will pay attention when overtaking. But it is easy to overlook that the vehicle behind is on the left and rear side of the vehicle in front. At this time, if there is a pedestrian crossing the road on the right side of the road, the pedestrian and the vehicle behind cannot see each other. The vehicle in front sees someone crossing the road and brakes. The car behind just overtakes the car ahead, and pedestrians just come out of the car in front. Because of the fast speed, tragedy will inevitably happen.
Mountain road overtaking
Can't see the car coming from the valley
Xiao Zhang went out for a self-driving trip during the long holiday of "October" this year. When driving on a hillside section, because there was a slow car ahead, Xiao Zhang saw that there was no car in the opposite lane, so he occupied the opposite lane and overtook the vehicle on the left. Who knows, when Xiao Zhang passed the car in front, a car appeared in front of the lane as if it had drilled out of the ground, and Xiao Zhang hurriedly changed lanes before he avoided the oncoming car.
The situation Xiao Zhang encountered often occurs on mountain roads. On the mountainous roads above and below, most riders will pay attention to the traffic on the road, but some roads are straight and there is a valley in the middle. At this time, the eyes of riders will be confused and ignore the changes in terrain. It feels like the car on the opposite side emerges from the ground at once, which is likely to cause dangerous accidents. Therefore, when encountering this kind of terrain, riders must pay more attention to the changes in the terrain, slow down the speed, and be prepared for emergency.
In addition, sometimes riders will encounter other offending vehicles at the same time overtaking from the right lane.
