When the trailer is driving, there are many parts damaged due to the bad driving of the driver. If you pay attention to the correct driving method, it can not only extend the service life, but also reduce a lot of trouble. The following editor has sorted out some bad driving methods. Let’s compare them and think about whether you have these bad driving habits? :
Bad driving behavior 1: Not changing gears according to the speed of the vehicle
Many drivers will not change gears in time to save trouble, even if the vehicle trembles due to the mismatch between the gear and the speed. This will cause great damage to the engine and increase fuel consumption. A good way is to increase and decrease gears reasonably according to road conditions and vehicle speed.
Bad driving behavior 3: Unreasonable use of clutch
Some new drivers are used to putting their feet on the clutch pedal for a long time when driving the vehicle due to unfamiliarity with the vehicle. Since the clutch is in a semi-clutch state at this time, it is very harmful to the clutch and should be avoided. In addition, when starting, you should be careful not to use too much throttle, and the clutch should not be lifted and released violently, and try to start smoothly.
Bad driving behavior 4: Steering wheel turns too far
The power steering pump is one of the most frequently used parts on the vehicle. Irrational use can easily cause premature damage to the power steering pump. When steering, it is best to pull back a little after the steering wheel is turned to the end, which can effectively extend the service life of the power steering pump.
Bad driving behavior 5: Keeping on the brake
It is a common mistake for novice drivers to keep on stepping on the brake when going downhill, which can easily cause the brake pads to overheat and fail to stop the car. In normal driving, you should control the speed and avoid unnecessary braking. When going downhill, try to use the engine braking force to control the speed. When braking, it is best to use the point brake method to prevent the vehicle from losing control.
Bad driving behavior 6: Frequent use of combination switch
When overtaking, many drivers like to keep switching between high and low beams to warn the overtaken vehicle. At the moment of the combination switch switching, the current passing through is much larger than when the lights are used normally, which can easily cause line failures.
Bad driving behavior 7: Put your hands on the gear lever while driving
Since most domestic cars do not have armrests, many truck drivers like to put their hands on the gear lever while driving. This will not only affect the safety of driving, but also cause certain damage to the gearbox due to the long-term force applied to the gear lever transmitted to various parts of the gearbox.
Bad driving behavior 8: Put the gear in neutral while driving
When most drivers use the neutral gear as a means of saving fuel, they neglect the safety of driving and the damage to the vehicle. However, for the currently popular electronically controlled engines, putting the gear in neutral is not necessarily fuel-saving.
Bad driving behavior 9: Not observing the instrument while driving
Now the instrument design of the vehicle is getting better and better. Basically, whether each component is working normally or not can be read directly on the instrument. We should observe the instrument at any time during normal driving. Once an abnormal signal is found (the instrument light should not be displayed during normal driving), it should be checked immediately.
