又有考区关闭,这次是Mitcham 和Torrensville

更新於18th Nov, 2019:

Mitcham考区,在今日已经取消了。在电脑系统上已经选择不到了。

路局为了整合考场,再一次把不同考区的开始点结合在一起。所以继Northfield, Modbury考场在多年前关闭之后,在今年年中North Adelaide, Regency park也关闭了。

现在最新的消息是,Mitcham 和Torrensville考区也会在11月廿日关闭。

在截止日期前报名了的学生不会受到影响,可以在旧考区继续考试。而之后报名考试的学生我将会在東邊Tranmere 校区安排考试。

如果在我这里已经接近完成课程的学生而还没有订路考的,请微信我。看一看赶不赶得到订考试。

你应该开多慢?

众所周知,驾驶员经常会因超过安全速度限制而被罚款,但您是否知道因驾驶速度太慢而被罚款? 2019年1月,西澳警察对珀斯男子处以罚款,原因是他在高速公路上行驶太慢。 这名男子的驾驶低于限速28km/h。(100km/h限速开72km/h)

但是,缓慢行驶到底有什么危险呢?

关于慢速行驶的规则不是基于最低速度限制,而是基于驾驶员与其他驾驶者的关系。 根据《澳大利亚道路法》的第125号法规,驾驶员不得无理地阻碍其他驾驶员或行人的道路。

然后,该规则阐明,如果驾驶员有障碍物和异常路况下,则不会认为驾驶员在不合理地阻碍其他道路使用者。 您“应该”走多慢可能因情况而异。 珀斯和悉尼的警察甚至对100km/h区域中的开90km/h驾驶员处以罚款,因为这些驾驶员处在右边超车道上。

但是,在大雨, 路旁有停泊车辆或有繁忙的行人活动等情况下,可能有必要以比平常慢得多的速度开车。

为什么会被罚款?

在对珀斯男子处以罚款之后,西澳警察交通局在推特上发文说:“在高速公路限速以下行驶28km/h会导致别人产生挫败感,从而导致别人作出错误的决定并导致事故”。

不能太慢,那和前车太近呢?

尾随是非法的,根据《澳大利亚道路法》的第126号法规,驾驶员必须在自己的车辆与前方车辆之间留出足够的空间,以便在必要时可以及时停车以避免与车辆相撞。

驾驶员应该尽量与前方车辆保持3秒车距。就是在跟车时,选取一个远方定点物件,像是路标、灯杆之类,在前车通过后,随即开始读秒,当经过指定物件后,所读秒数就是与前车之间的时距。

过于靠近其他车辆驾驶,或众所周知的尾随驾驶,是澳大利亚最普遍的危险驾驶行为之一。 与许多其他危险的驾驶行为不同,尾随不需要涉及超速来增加事故风险。 因此,追尾是造成非致命性低速事故的主要原因。

与疲劳驾驶一样,给别人追尾可能很难控制和防止。因此,通过提高对相关风险的认识以及以各种速度进行适当的跟随距离,可以最好地解决尾随问题。在驾驶员改变原始方向和速度时,必须通过后视镜观察后车尾随距离而作出正确的速度选择。

125—Unreasonably obstructing drivers or pedestrians

        (1)         A driver must not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian.

Offence provision.

Note—

“Driver” includes a person in control of a vehicle—see the definition of “drive” in the dictionary.

        (2)         For this rule, a driver does not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian only because—

            (a)         the driver is stopped in traffic; or

            (b)         the driver is driving more slowly than other vehicles (unless the driver is driving abnormally slowly in the circumstances).

Example of a driver driving abnormally slowly—

A driver driving at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour on a length of road to which a speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour applies when there is no reason for the driver to drive at that speed on the length of road.

 

126—Keeping a safe distance behind vehicles

A driver must drive a sufficient distance behind a vehicle travelling in front of the driver so the driver can, if necessary, stop safely to avoid a collision with the vehicle.

Offence provision.

观察, 判断及安全车距

一开始左道的卡车因为自行车放慢,我们进入了卡车司机的视觉盲区。我们必须在安全的情况下离开它的盲区。

Reference:

Make Sure Other Drivers See You 

Look at the faces of other drivers to see if they are looking at you. Get eye contact with those other drivers. Use your signals in plenty of time so they are clearly understood. Position your vehicle in such a way to clearly show your intention (eg. when turning left). Where possible do not travel in blind spot areas of other vehicles. (When you are approaching from behind, if you can see the eyes of other drivers in their mirror they have a better chance of seeing you.)

这时候我们有两个选择,加速或是减速。因为我们前方有超过五秒车距,所以我们决定加速。同时,我们后方车决定减速。

在我们加速之后,前方又发现了两个新路况。我们正前方有车准备U-Turn,同时左边车道(黄色车辆)停泊在路旁。

左边卡车应该会驶进我们的右车道,及我们正前方的交通一定会减速甚至停下来。我们在后视镜看到卡车已经准备好进来,所以我们只是让车辆慢慢降速。

Reference:

Get the Big Picture

By moving your eyes, you are able to check the far distance, the middle distance and the near distance directly in front. In addition the mirror should be checked on average at least once every 10 to 12 seconds. This constant checking ensures that the driver is fully aware of everything that is going on around the vehicle.

Leave yourself an ‘out’

When driving, always have a plan of ‘escape’ should the traffic conditions quickly change. If a vehicle is tailgating,leave more space in front of your vehicle as this reduces your braking requirements. Offset your vehicle where possible to the vehicle travelling alongside. This allows space for other vehicles to ‘escape’ if they should swerve suddenly.

Acceleration Sense’

Acceleration sense is the ability of the driver to vary the speed of the vehicle by means of accurate use of the accelerator (not gears) where braking is not required. This improves smoothness of ride, vehicle control (especially on unsealed surfaces), and fuel efficiency while reducing wear and tear on the vehicle and tyres.
