Driving techniques:
What to do in an emergency?
Living in the United States or other advanced countries, car
transport is indispensable in our daily life. This is especially true for those
who live in cities such as Los Angeles or Orange County, the spiritual capital
of Vietnamese refugees; places where public transit systems inadequate or
unfavorable, does not meet needs mass movement.
Driving is a necessity, something we do everyday, familiar that
becomes a natural reflex. Even so, very few of us know how to behave when
suddenly encounter an emergency while driving, such as broken wheels, the car
won not eat, the car is sliding, the car ran out of water, all oil, the car
plunged into the river, ... so ... so ... If one of the below unfortunately
happen while we are driving at high speeds, and if we do not panic, do not
react properly our lives and the ones in the car can be dangerous.
The author does not wish bad luck things will happen to you you,
but out in the future, if one of the rare cases this actually happens, hope
that this article will help you escape the storm coverage risk, safety and
harmless.
The calm is the most important thing in any emergency. If you
panic, you will make the situation worse because in most cases, you only have a
few seconds to respond but your life and the ones in the car completely depends
on the decision Your short time. If you stay calm, you have 50% chance to
survive, 50% of the rest will depend on the understanding and response is right
or wrong, your fast or slow. Rapid response, the correct method will increase
your chances of survival and the people in the car significantly.
Here is a typical case of many emergencies may occur while we are
driving.
1. Vehicles broken win:
You are driving and suddenly your brakes are no longer effective
to stop the car or vehicle deceleration force. You slamming on goal, but the
car is still running. Your brake system has been damaged. Wins do not eat, also
known as off beat, often occur without prior notice, due to one of the related
damage your brake system brake fluid out, broken pipelines, oil pigs damaged,
published won excessive wear, so ... so ... Your car may fail to win when you
are in the city, are on the highway or even worse, on the slope of the pass.
Anyone in any case, always keep calm, remember your ultimate goal
is to find ways to stop the car safely as soon as possible.
A. Damage the winner in the city / highway:
If winning is damaged when you are running in the city, with an
average speed of approximately 40 miles / hour, what you need to do is:
• Stay calm.
• Do not turn off your car because if you're not careful, the
steering wheel can be locked. Furthermore, when you turn off your vehicle
engine, heavy steering will become very difficult to control.
• Turn on your emergency flashlight
• Squeeze the trumpet, the phase lights, surrounding the car know
you are having difficulty dangerous for them to stay away
• Bike win several times, hoping to win will work again
• Let go of the accelerator
• Returns the number of children. If you drive a manual, pay for 4
or 3, then 2, then 1. If you drive an automatic, pull lever on the rear end
• Slowly pull the brake and the spleen on the right side (* If you
are running on the highway, with a high speed 65-75 miles / hour, waiting for
the car to slow down to about 40 miles / hour, and then slowly , drag brake and
spleen to the right margin.)
Note: Be careful, if you pull the parking
brake when the car is at high speed, and if you pull too hard, or too fast,
your car may be sliding, revolving 360 degrees or overturned.
B. Nowhere win while slope on road passes:
If you are a slope with a high speed 65-75 miles / hour that the
brakes fail, you are falling into a very dangerous situation. The safety of you
and the ones in the car completely depends on the behavior of your swift and
proper methods. What should you do in this case:
• Keep calm.
• Do not turn off your car because if you're not careful, the
steering wheel can be locked. Furthermore, when you turn off your vehicle
engine, heavy steering will become very difficult to control.
• Turn on your emergency flashlight
• Squeeze the trumpet, the phase lights, surrounding the car know
you are having difficulty dangerous for them to stay away
• Bike win several times, hoping to win will work again
• Let go of the accelerator
• Returns the number of children. If you drive a manual, pay for 4
or 3, then 2, then 1. If you drive an automatic, pull lever on the rear end.
Your car will slow down a little force but slope with high velocity.
• Slowly, pull the parking brake
Note: Be careful, if you pull the parking
brake too hard, or too fast, your car will certainly be sliding or rotating 360
degrees or overturned.
• If your car after a short time they did not stop, maybe your
brake system had been burnt and become totally disabled. Immediate attention
and driving on the "run-away-ramp". This is special lines or exit for
vehicles are damaged slope win. Road often equipped dunes to stop the car. Most
on the ramp slope are signs to this special way.
• If there is no "run-away-ramp", trying to reduce the
velocity of vehicles by scanning the right side of the car on the obstacles on
the road such as bush, coast barrier ... Do not worry about the deterioration
of the car. Your life and the important people in the car.
• If you have to do everything that the car did not stop, the
ultimate way to make the car stop car comfort in the bush. Bush side of the
road is the safest place for this case.
Note: Absolutely never threw the car into a tree, lampposts or
cliff. Always keep in mind that, in the worst, you will have a chance of
survival if you wisely choose the least worst.
2. Broken wheel:
You are driving on the highway with high velocity, suddenly one of
your 4 wheel exploded for reasons such as excessive wheel wear safety (thin
spines car than 1/32 or .030 of an inch) , the wheel rolled over sharp objects,
excessive wheel pump .... Your car will instantly lose your balance, and will
wobble. What you need to do in this case is:
• Stay calm and do not win bike. If you panic bikes win, your car
may be lame on one side and then flip and roll several rounds.
• Let go of the accelerator and grip the steering wheel tightly.
After a few seconds the wobble, your car will regain balance and you can
control the car.
• After all staggered cars, flashing emergency light, bicycle
brakes and slowly sneak in right margin.
• If you are near the exit to the highway, driving slowly off the
highway. Do not worry about the damage to the tires and wheels. Your safety is
more important.
• If you are too far from the motorway exit, pull over and park
close to the right margin. Call 911 for help if you have portable phones. If
you are near the emergency telephone boxes on the highway, you can call for
help at there. You just pick up the phone, the phone will automatically connect
to the operator and will direct staff to help you.
• While waiting to be rescued, in the car, locked the door until
you see an officer or employee of the towing company.
Note: Absolutely never crossed the highway
or changing the wheel on the highway. Do not open the door for a stranger any
time if it is not an officer or employee of the towing company
3. Car skidding (skid or hydroplaning):
Vehicles slipping a variety of reasons, usually because you win
double, turn sharp or as slippery in the rainy season, or frozen roads. If you
do not notice and keep your tires properly that they wear excessive (thin
spines wheel than 1/32 of an inch), you are gambling with your life and the
ones in the car every time you drive on a road or highway, especially on rainy
or snow season.
The reason is when your wheels are too worn, the grooves will not
be able to wheel water or spikes vehicle is no longer able to stick on the
road, as you drive through about wet road play pool, or through the frozen
roads, your car will have the opportunity to slide horizontally and you will
lose control of the vehicle. Sometimes your car will slide on the thin ice
(hydroplaning) as the skiing. This usually happens when the car reach
35miles/gio speed, worst about 55miles/gio. What to do in this case is:
• Stay calm and do not win bike. If you panic bikes win, your car
could spin 360 degrees, flip and roll several rounds, will crash into a tree or
into the cement barrier on the highway.
• Let go of the accelerator
• If sleds for passing the road standing water pools, you only
need to tightly grip the steering wheel after the car out of a pool of water,
the car will return to balance, you will be able to regain control of the car.
• If your vehicle tail horizontal because the ice or snow, you
just broke the steering wheel in the same direction as the vehicle until you
feel you can control the car. Then, carefully break the steering wheel back to
the car back to balance
4. The engine was overheating (engine overheating):
The engine was overheating can be caused by many factors such as
water or rubber tubing water penetrate the water lost, damaged water pump,
air-conditioning equipment (thermostat) is damaged propeller or zipper broken,
so ... so ... Sometimes just because you spend excessive air conditioning in
the summer, or stuck in traffic for hours on the road or highway also makes the
engine overheating.
In normal conditions, the needle temperature in your car in the
middle of the cartridge heater (H) and cold (C). You should always pay
attention to the needle. If it's beyond the center of the H and C, you will
have to take action. What to do in this case is:
• If you are in a strange place and safety conditions did not
allow you to stop, and if the temperature needle just not quite up to the red
line (H), you can continue to drive home, where safety, or to the car repair
shop if you do the following:
1. Turn off air conditioning
2. Turn all glass windows down and open
the heater to maximum temperature by pulling the need for all hands to open and
the fan to the most powerful. These things can help reduce the temperature of
your vehicle so that you can run to continue.
• If security conditions permit, or if the needle temperature was
up to the red line, you should stop the side of the road, turn off the engine,
open the lid and wait for the machine to cool or to call the police or a tow
truck.
Note: The most important thing in this case
is to never open the lid of the water when the engine is hot. If you open the
lid of the car while the engine is hot, the water in the bottle will spray out
with a very high pressure, you will get burned or blinded.
5. Gas pedal stuck:
Imagine you are driving a car, you want to slow down, but when you
lift your foot off the gas pedal, the car still run. Or the natural gas pedal
suddenly pulled down, your car shot forward and increase velocity. What should
you do in this case?
What you need to do is:
• Keep calm.
• Turn on your emergency flashlight
• Turn off your car
Note: Be careful, turn the key counter
clockwise just a hiccup. Hand hard drive will lock if you turn off the two
step.
• Bike win the car stopped quickly as possible branches
• Squeeze the trumpet, the phase lights, surrounding the car that
you're having trouble and pull over to the side. Your wheel will be very heavy,
but you can still steering.
6. Vehicles can not be steering:
Vehicles can not be steering can occur at any time and without
notice. You no longer control the car as you like. Can your car steering system
that is damaged part. Sometimes, you still control the car but the steering is
very heavy, as in the case of broken zipper or the power assist steering (power
steering) is damaged. What should you do in this case:
• Keep calm.
• Turn on your emergency flashlight
• Squeeze the trumpet, the phase lights, surrounding the car know
you are having difficulty dangerous for them to stay away
• Bike win the car to stop as soon as possible
• Park close to the curb and call the police or trailers
7. Motor loss of oil pressure:
When the oil pressure light suddenly shows up, does not mean your
car run out of oil, but it is a sign of oil pressure falls below normal levels.
This vehicle can be caused by lack of oil, car oil pump is damaged, or
sometimes the warning light system itself is damaged. In any case, you should
stop immediately and control the system viscosity. What to do in this case:
• Turn on flashing emergency lights and pulled over to the side to
• Open the car door and control ink viscosity by measuring tree.
If the oil level is too low, add more oil (always carry in the car for at least
one or two cans of oil reserves). Control the ink viscosity
• If the oil level is normal but the light is still on, if you do
not hear unusual sounds from the engine, and if the safety conditions did not
allow for you to wait for the police or trailers, you can drive a few miles to
get to the car repair shop, but do not drive further.
8. Car crashed into a river, lake ....
In a few rare cases your car lost steering and crashed into the
river or into the lake. Normally, your car will float for a few minutes before
sinking completely into the water. If you calm down and if you behave properly
during this time, you will have many opportunities to escape and survive. What
you need to do is:
• Keep calm.
• Do not waste time in vain to attempt to open the door. External
pressure of the water will make your car door can not be opened. Turn the glass
door down and escape by the window
• If your car glass windows kind of power, and you can not or can
only be turned into a glass door because the car lost power, quickly moved to
the back of the car where the remains of oxygen (because the vehicle heavy will
sink before), wait until the car is completely submerged to the pressure
outside and inside with each other, took a deep breath, opened the door and
escape
9. Drowsiness:
Drowsiness or fatigue while driving is one of the main causes
leading to accidents on the highway leading to the death of hundreds of
thousands of people in the United States.
Best healing remedy sleepiness is sleep. So try getting enough
sleep before sitting in front of the steering wheel or before a long journey.
Never drive your car too much, or over 12 hours a day.
If you are driving and suddenly feel sleepy, or have symptoms such
as fatigue, watery eyes, a dreamy mind, open your eyes well, you wake up when
the car rolled up the lane with the road block, so ... so ..., and if you do
not stop the car and continued to drive, you are gambling with your own life,
the ones in the car and those around you. What you need to do now is:
• Turn on your emergency flashlight
• Tap on the curb, stop and change the wheel to others.
If you are alone:
• Down exit if you're on the freeway, find a safe place and
recline chair to bed around 15 or 20 minutes to regain strength, got out of the
car and walked around the car about 10 minutes to the circulatory blood flow in
the , or do a few exercises. You will feel refreshed and can continue
• If you are unable to exit, back glass door down if it's cold or
back glass doors open up and maximum air conditioning in hot weather. It should
remember that the higher the temperature in the car will make you even more
sleepy
• If the car is stone cold, take a piece and put on the back of
the neck
• Drinking hot coffee or hot tea (tea ginseng is best)
• Listen to music spastic or talk to the person next
• If you have done all the things you still dim, dreamy, or you
wake up when the car rolled over time with short line, you have to immediately
find a safe place to stop and sleep for regained. Never try to continue to
drive when you're sleepy
10. The Highway of Death:
In the United States, the highway is known as the "highway of
death" because of the number of people killed on the highway. It is the
interstate highway, or in the state, often called country highway, only two
paths (lanes) for vehicles, only lane road with double compartment but no walls
in between. You should avoid the highway if possible. Instead, you should use
the wall in between the highway and there are many ways to start. If you have
to use the highway, please keep in mind the following:
• Just a face in the place where I was going off the inside part
of their way
• When you want to overtake another vehicle, you must make sure
that the front has no vehicles in the opposite direction traveling, or if there
is a car in the opposite direction to go to, you have to make sure that you
have enough time to cross
• Never overtake other vehicles in the song the way around, or on
the slopes
• Never overtake another vehicle when unsafe weather conditions:
sun glare, fog, rain, snow, ice, still ... still ...
Note: Absolutely never through the night
when you can see two very small car front lights though. The reason is that you
will not be able to evaluate the distance of the vehicle from the opposite
direction and will not have enough time to overtake
If you are driving on the highway and suddenly you notice the car
in the opposite direction are slowly encroaching into your path. This usually
happens because the driver of the vehicle that distracted, not focused in the
drive, sleepiness, are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medications or
other reasons.
What should you do? If you do not act quickly or improper actions,
your life and the ones in the car will be in danger. Things you should do in
this case is:
• Squeeze the trumpet, the warning light phase to the driver of
the vehicle in the opposite direction. Almost in all cases, the driver of the
vehicle in the opposite direction will be corrected and returned to his lane
If contraction phase horn and lights do not produce results, drive
close to the right side to avoid accidents.
Note: Never spleen on the left side because the driver can reverse
startled, corrective and spleen on the right side of him.
You and he will have to fight each other in the middle of the road
