Driving test knowledge: precautions for parking in underground garage

When driving out, parking is inevitable, and some better communities and shopping malls will have underground parking garages. Nowadays, in order to set up as many parking spaces as possible, many underground garages start from the design, resulting in garage structures with steep slopes, sharp bends, spiral bends and narrow lanes, which even experienced old drivers may not be able to cope with.

First, try to turn on the light when entering the garage.

When entering the underground garage, there is a great contrast between indoor and outdoor light brightness, which easily leads to instant blurred vision. Therefore, the first step to enter the garage is to turn on the headlights, not only to see the road clearly, but also to attract the attention of other vehicles or pedestrians. If you see a right-angle bend, flash the high beam. Due to the need of load-bearing design, right-angle bends can be seen everywhere in the garage, which will directly block the driver's line of sight. In addition, the garage is actually a very complicated driving environment, with poor lighting, complex curves and large slopes. Don't try dangerous actions such as retrograde and fast lane change.

Second, be careful not to post too many mirrors and cars.

If you see a mirror, you must slow down and wake up immediately. Mirrors are usually installed in accidents or blind spots. In addition, the parking garage floor material is quite complicated, and the braking distance of different materials will be different, so it is too close to the car.

Third, don't hit the steering wheel in distress.

The garage is not only narrow, but also full of walls and columns. Novices make complicated changes such as turning and changing lanes in a narrow garage, which is easy to make mistakes in chaos; But remember, even in an emergency, don't change lanes with the steering wheel. Under normal circumstances, if there is a collision with the front car in the garage, the damage caused by the extension of the space before and after the force is much less than hitting the wall or column. In addition, the speed of the garage is generally not too high, and the damage caused by a slight collision is generally not too great. If a novice makes complicated changes such as turning and changing lanes in a narrow garage, it is easy to make mistakes in the chaos.

Fourth, if you get in the way, wait, not get in the way.

The current garage design makes the best use of everything, and many parking spaces are actually difficult for both novices and veterans to park. At this point, remember not to grab the seat quickly. The parking garage is not well lit, and other vehicles may not see you, causing an accident. In addition, when there is traffic jam in the underground garage, don't open the door or watch the fun outside the probe window. If you really need to get off and have a look, please remember to put in neutral and hold the hand brake.

5. Don't guide reversing in the corner of the garage.

If you need to get off to help people see the position, don't guide you to reverse in the corner of the garage where there is no retreat. It is best to stay away from the car body 1.5 meters, not in a straight line with the front and rear or the direction of the vehicle, and ensure that there are no walls or obstacles around, so as to avoid nowhere to dodge when an accident occurs. When guiding parking, the driver is required to open all the windows to facilitate language communication. There is only one window next to the driver, which easily affects the voice guidance.

It is worth mentioning that for beginners, the effect of gesture guidance is actually not good. If the driver is good at looking in the mirror, there is basically no need to guide the positions on both sides. Therefore, language is the best way to communicate.

Sixth, the parking brake is the most reliable when receiving the card.

When many drivers drive into the garage, in order to save time, they are used to stepping on the brakes to get their cards. Even if the vehicle is far away from the card issuing machine, they will brake and lean out to get the card. In this way, if the owner is not careful, the vehicle will get out of control and crash. In reality, similar accidents happen from time to time, even causing casualties. Such a dangerous operation is really unacceptable.

Before we enter the garage to get the card, the safest thing to do is to let the vehicle get as close as possible to the card issuing machine, then stop and hang the neutral handbrake, and then reach for the card; If the vehicle is too far away from the card issuing machine to reach the card, it is necessary to stop and get off to get the card.

Don't forget to fasten your seat belt after we get the card and get on the bus.

Seven, keep enough distance with the front car when going uphill.

Nowadays, the design of the parking lot is rather strange, and the long and steep slope of the underground garage is very common, which is enough to make a way for people who block the car by hand to sweat.

If you drive up a steep slope and find a car in front of you and a car behind you, it will be even worse. You are forced to start on a steep slope, and it is easy to stall frequently under pressure. Being laughed at is a trivial matter, but it's a big deal after being hit.

Before driving on a steep slope, if conditions permit, observe whether there is a vehicle parked on the slope or the top of the slope, and then drive uphill after the preceding vehicle has completely passed the slope. When the vehicle goes uphill, it is necessary to control the throttle, refuel smoothly and cross the slope quickly.

What should I do if the car in front accidentally gets stuck on the slope? At this time, you should keep a safe distance from the front car, at least you can see the rear wheel of the front car, so that even if the front car slips, there will be enough braking distance.

Eight, the garage must be operated in accordance with the instructions.

Not all underground garages have spacious spaces. In some compact underground garages, the aisle can only accommodate one car, so this kind of garage usually adopts one-way traffic design, and the driving direction will be marked in a conspicuous position. When we enter this garage, we must follow the direction indicated by it and cannot go backwards. Also pay attention to avoid vehicles leaving the parking space.

There are also many right-angle bends and sharp bends in the underground garage, and these bends also like to be combined with columns. Some cars with long bodies are prone to waist injuries if they do not pay attention to leaving enough turning space. Therefore, when we pass right-angle bends and sharp bends in the underground garage, we must do what we can. If you are really not sure whether there is enough turning space, get off and observe. The consequence of barely passing the exam may be that we both hurt our cars and broke our money.

Nine, driving in the garage must use low beam.

The lights in the underground garage are usually dim, so we should turn on the low beam of the vehicle after driving into the garage. This operation is not only for lighting, but also to remind other cars in the garage to pay attention to coming cars. The high beam is absolutely forbidden, and the reason is clear to everyone: it is enough to be swayed by the high beam on the expressway, let alone in the underground garage with narrow space and dim light.

When the vehicle turns in the garage or enters or exits the parking space, don't forget to signal with the turn signal, let other vehicles know your driving intention, and prepare for avoidance in advance.

Ten, when parking, be sure to head out.

Sometimes parking spaces in underground garages are in short supply. When a vacant seat is found, the owner often drives the car directly into the parking space, with the front of the car facing inward. Besides, the car was picked up and it was very difficult.

When a novice backs a parking space, he will often take care of one thing and lose sight of another, and the front of the car will easily rub against the car next to him.

If the car next to you doesn't stop well, you can only wait for someone else to drive away before moving. It's easy to park your car by yourself, and picking up the car may make you collapse.

The most reliable way is to avoid choosing some parking spaces that are difficult to park, such as parking spaces near pillars, parking spaces on lifting frames, parking spaces on ramps and parking spaces with dense vehicles around.

The problems mentioned above will be encountered when we use the underground garage. If it is not handled properly, it may bring unnecessary trouble to yourself or others, and even cause loss of property and personal safety. Underground garages not only test drivers' skills, but also test their driving awareness. Think more about yourself and others, and you can avoid the troubles that harm people.
