Go on road trip got talent
Be fully prepared and travel cautiously.
Chang Junwei is a well-known talent in go on road trip, Xinjiang. He has been driving for more than ten years and can drive nearly 30,000 kilometers every year. Because of his rich experience, he also took the lead in setting up a go on road trip motorcade.
Recalling what happened not long ago, Chang Junwei still has a lingering fear. At the beginning of the summer vacation, he set off with his motorcade as soon as the Duku Highway, which had been closed for seven months, was opened to traffic.
Duku Highway is the signboard of self-driving tourist routes in Xinjiang. However, 1/3 of this highway is a cliff, and 1/5 of it is in the alpine permafrost, which needs to cross nearly 10 major rivers in Tianshan Mountain. At the same time, it also has the only snow-proof corridor in the world and the highest altitude highway tunnel in Hashel.
"This Tianshan road is full of scenery along the way, but it is not easy to walk." That day, although he repeatedly reminded his teammates to drive carefully, he still had an accident. Just out of Gendaban Highway Tunnel in Hashel, the driver of No.5 car in the motorcade was not careful, and the car fell into a snow ditch.
Fortunately, the driver who followed quickly responded quickly, stopped the car in time, turned on the double flash, set up the triangle warning sign, and contacted the leader Chang Junwei and the first car through the walkie-talkie. Two people wearing bright-colored clothes near the warning sign remind the vehicles behind to avoid the road.
The car got stuck in the snow ditch and the wheels slipped, so it couldn’t be poured out. Gendaban, Hashel, is the highest point in the northern section of Duku Highway, with sharp bends and steep slopes. If vehicles get stuck here, it will be very difficult to rescue and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Fortunately, I am experienced in driving and well prepared." Chang Junwei, the team leader, took out the tow rope from the first car and began to command everyone to tow the car. After 20 minutes, the vehicle finally escaped from danger and the team was on the road again.
"When traveling in mountainous areas, the road conditions are complex and the slope is steep and steep, so be sure to prepare a tow rope." Chang Junyi said that when the vehicle climbs a steep slope or breaks down, the tow rope can be used as a rescue tool to get the vehicle out of danger in time and ensure that life and property are not lost. In addition, emergency tools such as flashlights, medicines and survival whistle should be prepared in the toolbox, as well as fire extinguishers, rain gear and compasses. "Be well prepared and travel carefully. Don’t panic at critical moments, and always ensure safety first. " He said.
Go on road trip Association
Grasp the road conditions and do what you can.
"go on road trip, you can’t just leave. You should be prepared before you leave." Li Jianhua, president of go on road trip Association of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said that there are many preparations before departure, the first one is vehicle inspection, and emergency rescue tools are also prepared. "You can’t have any luck, because a little problem can also lead to great disaster."
"Of course, pre-departure preparation also includes a grasp of road conditions." Li Jianhua recalled the winter before, when he took his motorcade all the way across the Tianshan Mountains along the highway. Halfway up the mountain, the association received a message for help: "A car was stuck because of snow on the road."
Li Jianhua continued to stop by. When they arrived, they saw a family of three trying to push the cart, but the car did not move. In the ice and snow, the hands of the whole family were frozen stiff. Fortunately, Li Jianhua and others arrived in time, and a group of people, Qi Xin, took the car back to Urumqi.
"go on road trip tourists must first understand the road conditions and weather information. Secondly, we should be sure of the actual performance of the car. At the same time, we should pay attention to the fact that many cars go hand in hand. " Li Jianhua said.
"After departure, try to drive on regular roads, and don’t explore at will." Li Jianhua said that this summer, several cars in the Gobi Desert in Karamay were stuck in soft sand because they wanted to take a different road out of curiosity. When the rescue vehicle arrived, several drivers had obviously suffered from heatstroke. "go on road trip tourists try to drive on regular routes without a professional team leader."
Li Jianhua suggested that if you want to drive to no man’s land, tourists should pay attention to the choice of vehicles and professional tour leaders. For the sake of safety, tourists should choose hard-core off-road vehicles with locks that are less than 5 years old, have no hidden diseases. The professional team leader must at least meet the following requirements: at least 5 years of outdoor driving experience; Hold a formal team leader certificate; Understand and master a variety of outdoor skills.
