Road trips are becoming more and more popular now, what do you need to pay attention to on the road

A few days ago, I talked about the three shortcomings of self-driving tours, which are tiring, traffic jams, and unsafe, and many people complained that I don't understand the fun of self-driving tours. In fact, I used to like self-driving, but in the past few years, when I went out to play during the National Day holiday, I was blocked on the highway and doubted my life, so I gradually didn't want to travel by car. Today, combined with the previous experience of self-driving tours, I will tell you about some things that need to be paid attention to in the process of self-driving.

The first one is to do a comprehensive inspection of your car before driving. There are many people on the Internet who recommend going to the repair shop or 4S shop to do a comprehensive inspection, but in fact, many car owners will be troublesome not to do, on the one hand, they feel that it costs money, on the other hand, they feel that it is not necessary, so some car owners, they simply check it and go directly on the road, so it is not impossible to do this, but when we check it ourselves, we should focus on checking several aspects, oil, brakes, tires and glass water.

The second is to bring some emergency items, fire extinguishers, tripods, reflective vests, toolboxes, these are the car's own, tow ropes, window breakers and other emergency tools, it is best to also bring a kit and medical kit, it is best to keep it in the trunk, do not take it down because of the things of the self-driving trip, many car owners, all say, these things are best not to use for a lifetime, but when you want to use them, you must have. In addition, it is best to carry the spare key with you, if the key is forgotten in the car, and the car is accidentally locked automatically, it will be very troublesome.

The third thing to pay attention to is not to wait for the oil to run out before going to refuel, when the oil runs halfway, see a better gas station at any time, don't be afraid of trouble, because, you don't know whether the service area behind will stop supplying fuel, and you don't know if the gas station mentioned in the navigation is still open. There are some car owners who run the Sichuan-Tibet line, and even carry two iron oil drums themselves, in case of emergency, don't think that the insurance company will provide you with oil delivery services, ordinary highways are OK, rescue services on the highway, are subject to the control of the traffic police, the rescue services of insurance companies, is not included in highways and tunnels.

Fourth, it is necessary to pay attention to safe driving self-driving tours, in addition to highways, in most cases or through some mountain roads, narrow and even dangerous, when driving on these complex roads, when overtaking, we must pay attention to ensure that we have full certainty, and, try to stay away from large trucks, when driving on mountain roads, try not to honk, so as not to cause rockfalls or landslides due to vibration. If you are a beginner and are not sure about your driving skills, you can choose to take a detour, and finally, bring clothes and food, avoid driving at night and fatigue, obey traffic rules, plan your route in advance, etc. In short, traveling by road is not just about having good driving skills.

You need to be careful not to drive tired, and also pay attention to whether the fuel level is sufficient. You need to bring enough water, food, and some quilts, pillows, chargers, and paper towels.

On the road trip, be sure to pay attention to safety.

Carry all the things in the self-driving travel guide, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whether the car has gas!

When traveling by car, you must pay attention to filling up the gas on the road, check the car before traveling to ensure safety, bring a charger, a mobile phone, enough money, and some clothes.

1. The first thing we have to do for self-driving travel is to plan the route, generally there will be multiple self-driving routes from A to B, what we have to do is to connect the places we want to check in between A and B into a route, and then drive the car from this route again, which is the common self-driving travel mode. Of course, when planning the route, in addition to determining the location to check in, we also need to determine where to eat, sleep in, etc.

2. About navigation: At present, most vehicles are with navigation functions, even if there is no navigation, mobile phone navigation can also be used, ** APP can be used, Dong Ge reminds that there are two points that must be done about navigation, first: mobile phone offline map must be in advance**, second:

Buy a paper map of the tour in advance. The main thing is to prevent that in the absence of the network, we will not get lost and get in a hurry.

3. About accommodation: The common solution for accommodation is to find a hotel or homestay along the way, in addition to the hotel signboard that can be seen with a clear eye, we should also have a few more accommodation software in advance, used to stay along the way, remember, for people who like safety, you can check the hotel on your mobile phone before departure, and then mark it on the paper map, this method is particularly practical for girls.

4. Vehicle selection for self-driving tours: If the route of the travel strategy has non-paved sections, then it is best to choose an SUV vehicle with high passability and a certain off-road ability.

5. The necessary tools with the car can not be missing: after all, the self-driving vehicle is a long-distance journey, and the uncertainty of the uncertain factor on the way, so the necessary tools with the car need to be brought with a non-falling, such as: wrench for unloading tires, tire repair tools, charging treasure for car batteries, tripods, reflective clothing, emergency lights, window hammers, fire extinguishers and other tools.

Generally speaking, before driving a trip, you can check whether the foot brake and handbrake are normal and effective, whether the vehicle is leaking oil, lack of water, etc., and then check whether the tire pressure of the four tires is normal. When choosing a vehicle, you should choose a car with superior off-road performance as the best, because you will inevitably encounter unsatisfactory roads and muddy roads during your journey, so prepare a spare tire for the car, as well as the necessary toolbox, military shovel, tent, and sleeping bag. Regularly inspect and repair the vehicle, especially when encountering a bad road, after walking for a while, be sure to find a maintenance point to overhaul the vehicle.

<> tow rope, if the car breaks down in the middle of the road and there is no suitable repair point nearby, you can only let other cars or rescue vehicles tow the car to the repair point. It should be noted that the car with automatic transmission should not be dragged as much as possible, and the most important thing is money. It's hard to move without money.

Cash, cards, WeChat payment, all ready, you will have to go out for many days, and the place you go to may not even have a mobile phone signal. Long-distance travel road conditions are complicated, it is inevitable that there will be traffic jams, detours and delays, then you need to prepare in advance some of your favorite fruits, in addition to preparing some eight-treasure porridge, instant noodles, bread and other foods, in case of emergency.

Prepare a tire pressure gauge, pumping, emergency lighting, signal lights in one machine, this thing is not high to do, that is, more than 100 points, but the practicality is still very strong, the collapse judgment code can ensure that you can rush up in remote areas for emergency use.

I was in Yangmai Yong Snow Mountain (when the sun was shining) in the five-colored sea

On the National Day of 2017, my husband and wife drove to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (at that time, we stayed at an altitude of 4,200 to 4,300 meters for three consecutive days), and there was a distance of about 300 kilometers without people and no gas stations (both my husband and I use Huawei mobile phones, and mobile phones in many places have no mobile signal).

On the evening of April 28, 2018, my husband and I drove over the Balang Mountain Pass, and the road at an altitude of more than 4,200 meters was covered with snow (frozen snow layer), and saw a car unable to move forward after being supported by the frozen snow.

If you take advantage of the holiday to travel by car, be sure to plan well in advance. Bring plenty of water and food, as well as a variety of snacks. Because when traveling by car, you may go to areas of natural beauty, and it is difficult to replenish food and water on the way.

And the food and water in the tourist area, for sure, is very high. It's better to buy there than to bring it yourself. In this way, you can enjoy delicious food while sightseeing the beautiful scenery.

Even if you stay in the scenic area for a long time, you will not starve.

Fruit that is easy to wash. For example, Xiangxushi accompanies bananas, pears. Peach.

cucumbers, tomatoes and much more.

If you are a man, you can prepare some canned beer, some functional drinks in case of emergency, to refresh the driver, as well as chewing gum and various marinated products.
