Damage to vehicles caused by bad driving habits

The damage of vehicle components is often caused by improper driving. Reasonable driving methods can effectively prolong the service life of the vehicle. Here are some driving habits that new drivers tend to make.

 1. The speed does not match the gear

In order to save trouble, many drivers do not change gears in time, even if the vehicle trembles due to the mismatch between gears and speed, which will cause great damage to the engine and increase fuel consumption. The best way It is a reasonable shift according to road conditions and speed.

 2. Unreasonable use of clutch

Some new drivers are accustomed to putting their feet on the clutch pedal for a long time when driving a vehicle due to unfamiliarity with the vehicle. Since the clutch is in a semi-linked state at this time, the damage to the clutch is very large and should be avoided. In addition, when starting, you should be careful not to use too much accelerator, and try to start as smoothly as possible.

3. The steering wheel rotation angle is too large

The directional booster pump is one of the most frequently used parts on the vehicle, unreasonable use can easily cause premature damage to the booster pump. When adjusting the direction, it is best to pull back a little after the direction is full, which can effectively extend the service life of the power steering pump.

4. Press the brake and don't release

Stepping on the brakes when going downhill is the most common mistake novice drivers make, which can easily lead to overheating of the brake pads and failure to stop the car. In normal driving, you should control the speed of the vehicle, avoid unnecessary braking, and try to use the engine braking force to control the vehicle speed when going downhill.

5. Frequent use of combination switches

When overtaking, many drivers like to constantly switch the far and near beams to warn the overtaken vehicle. At the moment when the combination switch is switched, the current passing through is much larger than that when using the lights normally, which is easy to cause line failures.

6. Keep your hand on the gear lever while driving

  Many truckers like to put their hands on the gear lever when driving, which will not only affect the safety of driving, but also cause certain damage to the gearbox due to the long-term force exerted on the gear lever to various parts of the gearbox.

7. Put neutral gear while driving

When most drivers use neutral gear as a means of saving fuel, they neglect the safety of driving and damage to the vehicle. For the more popular electronically controlled engines at present, it is not necessarily fuel-efficient to put in neutral.

8. Do not observe the instrument while driving

Now the functions of the instrument of the vehicle are getting more and more complete. Basically, the working status of each component can be read directly on the instrument. We should observe the instrument at any time during normal driving. Once an abnormal signal is found (the instrument light during normal driving) should not be displayed) and should be checked immediately.

    The abnormal damage of the vehicle is often caused by improper operation. We should maintain good driving habits in the usual driving, and use the vehicle reasonably in order to prolong the service life of the vehicle.
