To avoid risks the drivers should follow these steps: Treat the vehicle to avoid changing directions, by stepping on the accelerator pedal for a few seconds. Then slowly release the accelerator to maintain the vehicle speed. In addition, the most important thing is to keep the vehicle in the correct lane, try to stay away from the brake pedal, drive the steering wheel to wait for the ambulance.
2. Broken tire – Safe drivers know how to deal with this situation
This is a very serious technical fault that can cause immeasurable damage while driving at high speed.
Tire breakage is an issue where the inner layer and steel wire part or detach, causing strong vibrations that cause the vehicle to lose its balance. In this case, press the gas pedal slowly and drive straight to a safe place for inspection and repair.
3. Difficult controls steering wheel
While driving, if you find that the steering wheel is difficult to control, quickly turn the turn signal, park the car on the curb. And then check if the belt of the power steering oil pump is damaged, broken or not?
If the steering wheel cannot be controlled, all you need is keep calm. After that, turning on danger warning, reduce gear, slow down, press the horn, signal by hand … and brake again.
4. Sudden acceleration
This problem appears like a gas jam, but here the cause is not due to technical error from the engine but subjective from the driver when using the accelerator. Many people often panic when they encounter a surprise on the road and step on the accelerator pedal but still think it is a brake. Especially for those who use automatic transmission.
5. Unexpected stop of vehicle, without ABS
In order to stop the vehicle suddenly at high speed without being equipped with the anti-lock braking system ABS, the driver needs to have excellent driving skills. Keeping the brake pedal hard but not dead, will cause wheel lock. Now the driver must become an ABS system, so that the wheel stops without slipping.
In this case many drivers often brake and combine with steering to the side. The continuous brake release is the best way to stop the car without being dropped. This is also the mechanism of the ABS system.
6. Get out of the road
Common cases when cornering or avoiding the opposite vehicle on a narrow road can cause the driver to steer the two wheels off the road. There is danger if the outside of the road is not a reasonable level.
To handle this situation, slowly reduce the throttle, do not use the brake, steer at a very small angle to slowly bring the vehicle back to the lane. The driver shouldn’t swing the wide angle because the outside surface may not meet the rotation of the wheel, leading to an accident.
7. Tires slipping
On wet roads, especially when the tires are worn, a thin layer of water will appear between the wheels and the road surface. The tires are, in fact, above the water instead of pushing the water to the sides. So, the driver should feel the head of the vehicle becoming lighter and the vehicle will start to pull out of the lane.
Do not press the brake or steer when you have this problem, as doing so will cause the vehicle to slip. Instead of releasing the accelerator and try to keep the vehicle running straight until you regain control.
8. Gas jam
When you have a gas jam, stop the car, but be careful not to get the vehicle behind you. For new drivers, who do not have much experience, often confuse the brake pedal with the accelerator pedal. If you can accidentally step on the pedal, you must immediately take the foot off the pedal to assess the situation
The shift lever should be changed to mo and the clutch pedal can be depressed to separate the link. If the N lever cannot be returned to the gearbox, the engine must be turned off. For cars that start with a button, without the keys, the only way is to return the mo.
9. Loss of brake – A damage case with safe drivers
Brake loss is a dangerous incident in the top category, easily creating panic for the driver. For handling, calm is the most important factor. The driver should keep pressing the brake pedal continuously to find a chance that the system can be restored. Then, using the hand brake rhythmically and operate the speed reduction technique by pushing the gear to brake. Absolutely do not turn off the car engine, this will make the power system not work, making vehicle control more difficult.
The worst case scenario to choose is for the vehicle to collide with an obstacle. And then, keep calm enough to choose soft obstructions like bushes, puddles of mud. If there is a collision with a hard object such as an “eel”, a cliff, try to let the car have a small angle of contact, avoid direct collision.
