The Sichuan-Tibet line often builds roads, also called maintenance operations. Sometimes a hole is dug in the middle to fill it up, but construction always takes time. Sometimes when driving, you will encounter such a hole. I named him Make a tiankeng.
Today's itinerary goal is to reach Basu, which is close to 500 kilometers. We have to pass Dongda Mountain and 72 turns. This is the seventh day of entering Tibet. We are approaching Dongda Mountain. There is a tiankeng on the road ahead. , which means that they naturally want to trap us.
Before that, I followed a car all the time. That car was running fast, with a speed of about 80 per hour. Sometimes it could run more than 100 on a flat road, and I chased after it because there was a car in front. Driving is very passionate, the feeling is really indescribable, I don’t know whether I always don’t want to lose to the other party, or it’s more interesting to drive with a car ahead, there is a target, and three things happened today.
The first thing is to roll a stone down from the mountain. I don’t know how to plan. I want to wrap the stone under the car and prevent the tires from going up. At this time, the driving speed is about 80 per hour, and I can’t stop at all. The brakes should be controlled at about 40 to 50, but suddenly.
The second thing is that I encountered a sinkhole, the tires went down, and then came up from the front, the car flew up, and some things on the instrument panel flew all over the car, but I still pretended to be very calm, the steering wheel Still grasping very firmly, we passed this pit smoothly.
The third thing is that when I encountered a landslide, I saw the clods and rocks on the left side of the mountain in front of me falling down, and I braked urgently, and the horn kept honking, reminding the cars behind to stop, but there was still a car rushing towards me. I stopped in front, and then stopped, and slowly the body slide stopped, and I started to move forward again.
This trip to Tibet, there are still a few things that we didn’t encounter, and we missed them. One is the Panzhihua earthquake. At that time, we were in Xindu Bridge, which was far away, so we missed it. The other is Seda. There was a landslide here, and what happened three days after we went there, we escaped.
Today I mainly talk about why I didn’t step on the brakes when I encountered this tiankeng, and I didn’t deliberately avoid it. In fact, it’s very simple. It’s because I’ve been following the car at a very fast speed. On the way to Tibet, I drove so fast. It’s normal and normal, and it’s not normal to say it’s not normal. From a safety point of view, it’s not normal, but if you don’t run so fast, you’ll have to go one o’clock at night and reach your destination later, so you’re often helpless.
But fortunately, when encountering this kind of thing, under normal circumstances, you will see it in advance. Why didn’t you see it this time? It’s mainly my fault, because I am the leader of the team, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand, and reporting the road conditions to the cars behind. , Insufficient concentration, on the other hand, this time, I have a bit of a cold, and my brain reacts slowly. The last aspect is that on the way to Tibet, I am prone to fatigue and my reaction speed will slow down. This is also one of the reasons.
There are often such road construction sections on the Sichuan-Tibet Line. We are very aware of this. The key problem is that this section of the road is a bit flat, and this section of road construction, this area, seems to have not been done by the construction party. Signs and For the sign, when we saw the road ahead, a piece was dug out. At this time, it was too late, we could not avoid it, we had to go up hard.
In an emergency, everyone gives their life to their own habits and the inertia of driving to their muscle memory. The only thing they can do at this time is to hold the steering wheel, step on the brakes, and try to slow down the speed of the car. , nothing else can be done, doing anything is superfluous, and it will put us in an unsafe situation, why are there so many incidents this time?
In order to avoid such things from happening, we must do it, including myself, we must review the safety of driving in Tibet.
First, try to control the speed of the vehicle within the controllable range, especially when turning, or when the road is relatively straight, try not to overspeed, or keep the vehicle within the controllable range.
Second, we must absolutely ensure that we are awake at all times. On the road to Tibet, due to the lack of oxygen, we will definitely be tired, especially after eating at noon, we are prone to drowsiness. At this time, we must remember to take a rest to ensure that we are always awake. At the same time, try to eat less bananas and lychees while driving. Bananas contain a lot of magnesium, which will inhibit our nerves and cause drowsiness.
It is recommended to drink a can of functional drinks in the morning. If you are tired at ordinary times, you should drink some coffee, etc. After one o’clock in the afternoon, it is not recommended to drink these things to avoid affecting your rest at night.
Third, defensive driving is to predict in advance. Only when you are awake can you predict soberly and minimize distraction during driving. Especially when I am leading the team, try to arrange everything in the parking lot In the future, when using the walkie-talkie, be sure to observe the road conditions ahead to ensure safety.
Fourth, give yourself a good hint, including buying insurance, which is also a hint to your heart, let him insure, let us have no worries, give us an inner guarantee, don't give yourself bad hints every time you travel , And when listening to songs on the road, try to be positive, don't listen to those sad songs, let your emotions become depressed.
I have already talked about it before, and it may have given me a bad hint, because when I first set off, I had a high fever, and I asked myself in my heart, should I lead the team this time, and I shouldn’t set off, because there have been so many obstacles , So on the road, many such and such things happened.
