◎ Conduct a "comprehensive physical examination" of the car before departure.
Example: Last National Day, my friend drove out and walked 100 kilometers on the expressway, and suddenly found that the tire was flat and could not be changed. As a result, he had to ask for help and drag them off the highway with a trailer. When the car is repaired, the fun of playing is half gone.
▲ Reminder: Before you travel, you should choose a regular car dealership to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle to ensure that it is in good condition before you can go on the road.
◎ Don't refuel at the Pheasant gas station.
Example: the personal experience of a self-driver. On the way to Yangshuo by car last year, after refueling at a gas station in Daguishan, Guangxi, the car quickly idled unsteadily, and it was easy to catch fire when it was in gear. Fortunately, I arrived at my destination safely and added a box of good oil to eliminate hidden dangers.
▲ Reminder: Choose a gas station with excellent quality to fill it up before departure. Never choose a gas station at will along the way. You should try to choose a gas station with larger scale and more vehicles to refuel.
◎ Take the "four magic weapons" before going out.
Example: A netizen told the author that he was too lazy to take all kinds of tools with him every time he traveled. Once the car broke down, fortunately, I had a tow rope. With the help of my companion, I found a garage and solved the problem.
▲ Reminder: When you are away from home, accidents in the car are inevitable. The "four magic weapons" are carried with the car and prepared. These magic weapons are: towing rope, battery connecting wire, triangle parking warning sign and spare tire.
◎ Book hotels in advance.
A go on road trip fan drove to Chengdu during the Golden Week. It was already late at night when he arrived, and he was a stranger again. He asked several hotels, all of which were full, and finally had to spend the night in the car.
▲ Reminder: Hotel beds should be booked in advance, and can be booked through travel agencies, local friends or online travel service information. But pay more attention to the "Pheasant" website, pay the deposit, and then be "stood up".
Pay special attention to overtaking on highway.
During my National Day trip, I witnessed a tragedy. A van in the middle of road trip overtook and collided head-on with a truck carrying lime, killing five people.
▲ Reminder: Always pay attention to safety when driving, but driving in the wild, national highways and expressways is different from driving on municipal roads in urban areas. On the two-lane expressway, it is often necessary to overtake the road, which requires special attention. It is best not to overtake in accident-prone sections, sections marked with solid lines on the ground, turning sections and uphill and downhill sections.
◎ Design the travel route before departure.
For example, a friend who once drove from Chengdu to Beihai told me that he bypassed the road when he went, saving two hours compared with tourists who took the old road.
In addition to online learning, you can also consult with travel agencies and local tourism departments. It's best to choose the officially opened scenic spots to travel, and don't be curious.
▲ Reminder: Designing a travel route can be divided into two parts. Determine the scenic spots to go to first, and choose the scenic spots, in addition to introducing riders. Second, after determining the scenic spots, we must choose the driving route and follow the principle of expressway first, then national highway. At the same time, according to the map and the information provided by friends who are familiar with the route, we can know the location of road conditions, food, accommodation, gas stations and so on.
Pay attention to safety when parking.
For example, parking at the roadside for convenience during the trip can easily lead to car theft or detention.
▲ Reminder: Be sure to pay attention to safety when parking. If there is a parking lot, you must park your car in the parking lot. Don't park it on the side of the road If you need to stop halfway and there is no parking lot, you'd better leave someone in the car to look after your belongings. After arriving at the scenic spot, you should also park your car in the parking lot or designated place in sequence, and tighten the handbrake gear after the flameout. After playing, it is best to adjust the front of the car to the direction conducive to leaving, so as to avoid the car being unable to drive out when leaving.
◎ Beware of "crash party"
Example: It is reported by the media that there are "crash parties" in some places, which extort foreign cars under the pretext of traffic accidents, so we should be alert to "crash parties" when traveling.
▲ Reminder: If you encounter such a situation on your way to road trip, don't choose to settle with them because you are afraid of taking responsibility for the accident. You should call the police and let the traffic police handle it.
◎ Let's go together and don't get tired of driving.
Example: My good friend Mr. Huang said that once he went out with his family, he drove alone because he had no experience. After driving for ten hours to the destination, I have no physical strength to play.
▲ Reminder: As it usually takes a long journey to go to road trip, the places you reach are generally unfamiliar to travelers. Experienced people remind citizens who are traveling for the first time that it is best to travel together and not ride alone.
◎ Modify the insurance policy and buy road maintenance fees.
For example, insurance companies report that many car owners who travel by car buy insurance protection in their own provinces, and they cannot claim compensation for accidents when they travel in the province.
▲ Reminder: Just in case, you should go to the insurance company for "policy correction" before departure, and expand the coverage to outside the province. If it is full coverage, the 50 yuan premium is generally only charged for one month when going out of the province. In addition, remember to bring all relevant documents and bills, such as ID card, driver's license, driving license, road maintenance fee, travel tax documents, etc.

The mechanic in the garage suggested that the vehicle should be tested before leaving-
First, check whether the fuel is full. It is very important to drive on the highway, especially at night. It is not recommended to bring your own gasoline.
Secondly, check the oil level. If the oil level is too low, it needs to be added; The oil level is too high, so find out the reason. You'd better take some engine oil with you in case of shortage on the way.
Three, check the coolant level, insufficient to supplement, supplement to exhaust. You'd better take some coolant with you.
Four, check the battery electrolyte level, higher than the plate 10- 15 mm is normal, such as the liquid level is too low, need to add distilled water. Check whether the specific gravity of electrolyte is normal (the battery life of Fukang car is generally about two years. If the starting voltage is too low, it should be replaced in time).
V. Check whether the brake fluid level meets the requirements, and add it when it is insufficient. Check the wear of the front brake pads.

Go on road trip warmly reminds you to beware of fatigue driving during the journey-
Car owners who travel by car for the first time must beware of fatigue driving during the journey! According to the statistics of relevant departments, in the major traffic accidents on the road, more than 1/3 is caused by fatigue driving. The main reasons for fatigue driving are: First, too much excitement before going out or other reasons lead to lack of sleep, and there will be a temporary brain blank during driving, which will lead to accidents. Second, I didn't make a travel plan in advance, didn't know the road conditions, and couldn't arrange my work and rest reasonably, which led to fatigue driving. Third, when driving, paying close attention and keeping your eyes on the center line of the expressway will cause visual and psychological tension, which will lead to fatigue driving. A simple way to prevent driving fatigue: stop nearby when the fatigue signal is generated, get off and walk for at least 10 minutes. If you still feel tired, take a nap in the car until you feel better.
The mechanic told you-
How to deal with a sudden puncture during driving? Sudden tire puncture during driving will cause serious vehicle deviation and body tilt, and if it is not handled properly, it will lead to traffic accidents. The correct treatment methods should be treated separately: first, the rear tire is flat and the rear of the car will swing. In this regard, the driver should hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands to keep the car running straight, then step on the brake pedal several times to brake the car, and move the pressure of the car forward through inertia to reduce the pressure of the rear tire, and then slowly stop the car. Don't brake and stop in an emergency, so as not to cause the vehicle to slide sideways and damage the wheels. Second, if the front wheel has a flat tire and the car turns sharply, it is easy to cause an accident at high speed. In this regard, the driver should control the steering wheel with both hands, relax the throttle, keep the vehicle running in a straight line, and use the traction resistance of the engine to brake the vehicle to make it stop safely. Do not use emergency braking, so as not to aggravate running deviation or sideslip.
How to claim compensation after an accident, insurance company Miss Wang suggested-
When you really have a traffic accident, you should make a claim according to the following steps: Step 1: You should protect the first scene of the accident and report it to the traffic management department where the accident occurred in time, and the traffic management department will conduct on-site investigation of the accident. If you are sure to be responsible, you must report the case to the insurance company regardless of the size of the responsibility; If it is determined to be irresponsible, it may not be reported to the insurance company. Because this will determine whether you can get a safe return when you renew your insurance next year. Step 2: Report the case in time. Take your insurance policy, driving license and driver's license (you don't need to take it with you), drive the damaged car to your insurance company, fill in the vehicle accident registration form and accident notice in the claims department, and assist the insurance claims personnel to find the vehicle in danger. Step 3: Determine the loss. Take the Vehicle Accident Registration Form to find the loss-fixing personnel in the claims department and determine the repair items and expenses. After determining the damage, you will be given a "Damage Confirmation Sheet". Be sure to pay attention to: First, don't miss repairs; Second, pay attention to the repair fee can not be set too low, in case it is not enough when repairing the car. Step 4: Repair the car. When handing over the car, you should take the damage list and give it to the repair shop together with the car. The garage will repair the car according to the items specified in the damage list. After the car is repaired, pay the repair fee with the pick-up slip, and ask for the repair invoice, the entrusted repair slip, the construction slip and the material list stamped with the official seal of the repair shop. Step 5: Issue the accident certificate. Take the repair invoice of the other car and go to the traffic police team to close the case with the other car owner, and get an "accident certificate" stamped with the official seal, so you can get back the proof that you have been detained. Step 6: Submit the document. Send the prepared accident notice, loss list, repair invoice, entrusted repair list, construction list, material list, accident certificate and claim list to the claim department of the insurance company, and you can wait for the claim. Step 7: Claim. In about a week, you will receive a claim notice from the insurance company, and then you can claim with your official seal, identity certificate and vehicle accident registration form. After you come back from your trip, you should also take your car to the garage for a maintenance.
