There is a blind spot for driving in the basement, so be careful when going in and out!

what should I pay attention to when driving in the basement? Where will there be visual blind spots when driving in the basement? When driving in the basement, be careful when entering and leaving!

There was a news spread on the Internet. A woman in Yangzhou fainted at the exit of an underground garage because of a sudden illness. Just then, a car drove out of the underground garage. Because there was a blind spot on the uphill when she came out of the underground garage, the driver did not find the fainted patient, so she ran over the patient directly. We usually encounter some dangerous situations when driving in the basement, so we need to pay attention to some matters of driving in the basement.

1. Pay attention to the speed limit and height limit when entering the underground garage

When vehicles enter the underground garage, we usually see signs of speed limit and height limit, in which the speed limit is the limit speed for prompting drivers to drive in the underground garage, and the height limit is the height for prompting vehicles to pass in the underground garage.

generally, there will be height limit tips and height limit rods at the entrance of the basement. It is best to have a general understanding of the height of the vehicle you are driving, and see if it exceeds the limit height before you get into the basement. If it exceeds the limit height, don't force it into the garage. It is also difficult to repair the roof if it is damaged. Although this problem is rare, it still needs to be reminded.

2. Turn the car in the right direction after picking up the card

When picking up the card or paying the money, the driver needs to put the car close to the toll booth, but at this time, the driver's attention is close to it, and it is easy to ignore whether the steering wheel is turned back after being close. If the steering wheel is not turned back, it may scratch the toll booth when starting again.

before taking the card or paying the money, try to get the car body close to the toll booth, so as to avoid the situation of steering adjustment before reaching the toll booth. If you really can't find the distance and need to steer, check whether the steering wheel is in a straight state after taking the card or paying the money, so as to avoid accidents.

3. Pay attention to the cars and people around you

When looking for a parking space in the basement, because there are many corners and blind spots, you will often encounter vehicles or pedestrians leaving the parking space. Such vehicles and pedestrians often suddenly appear in front of the moving vehicles, and the driver's attention is generally focused on finding a parking space. If it is not found in time or the speed is too fast, it is easy to cause accidents.

In addition, the elevator car in some basements will be close to the driveway, and pedestrians entering and leaving the elevator car may suddenly appear in front of the moving vehicles, especially in some shopping malls. Children often suddenly run out of the elevator car, so drivers should keep their driving speed within the speed limit and pay attention to avoid accidents.

when looking for a parking space in the underground garage, the speed must be slow, just keep it within the speed limit, and don't pay full attention to finding a parking space, so that the driver can have more reaction time to brake or dodge.

Many basements will install convex mirrors at corners or blind spots, so that drivers can find the vehicles or pedestrians in the blind spots as early as possible. When driving in the basements, you may wish to use these tools to observe the situation ahead. If there is no convex mirror, you can use the horn or the high beam and low beam lights to switch a few times before turning corners or encountering blind spots, so as to remind the other party that a car is passing by.
