Why do some people stop driving after changing cars?

Thanks for the invitation, I personally tend to think that it is because the reference is gone.

In other words, the subject may be able to understand. In the student days, a student who can only set formulas, and a student who knows how the formula comes from, and can even deduce the formula by himself, is faced with the problems he has encountered before. can be successfully answered. But once a new problem is encountered, the difference between the two will manifest. If you can only set formulas, you will not know which formula should be set when faced with a new question, and whether the formula should be set, and the latter can make use of existing knowledge, apply it flexibly, and get the answer.

Everyone in the driving school should have this experience. A stone, a cigarette butt, a crack, etc. on the road of the driving school, any inconspicuous small logo will become a reference. In the same way, there are similar features on the car, such as a rib on the hood, the position of the wiper, the B-pillar, and even the position of the driver relative to the vehicle, which will become a reference.

But if you change a car, all the above references will change. For example, the B-pillar was originally used to be flush with the wall as a reference for reversing stops. Changing to a longer car means that you don’t know where to park, and naturally you won’t be able to drive.

In this regard, I think that not driving after changing cars is a manifestation of the lack of driving skills. If driving skills can’t be universal, you shouldn’t get a driver’s license. For example, 99.9% of the people in the driving school (including me) will use this opportunistic method to pass the test, or this is what the coach teaches from beginning to end, so even if you really hit the road or need to park after graduation, you still need to learn from scratch, and your understanding is good. Those with less understanding may only be able to “research and develop” their own reference objects, and go back to a series of operations in the driving school, so they form a binding relationship with the model.

If you want to completely get rid of this predicament, the most fundamental requirement is to cultivate car feel. For example, use the vehicle to perceive the specific orientation of the four wheels through the feedback of road bumps, or use the reversing image or reversing radar to correct the mapping relationship between the distance between the front and rear of the vehicle and the visual distance, and adjust the line of sight to achieve real In the sense of walking straight and so on. With the improvement of the car feel, the speed of adapting to a new car will also speed up. It may have taken half an hour, but it can be done in 1 minute after the car feels improved.

I don’t mean to say that the method of memorizing formulas by rote is incorrect. In the process of daily driving, borrowing various references is like applying formulas for exams. It can greatly save the workload of the brain and avoid mistakes. It is an effective method. method, but before that, you must make sure that you know how the formula comes from, so that you have mastered this knowledge point.

On the track, the same is true. I have seen all kinds of drivers (of course, they are all amateurs, and professional drivers are another matter), and they are also divided into the above two schools. The first is to drive your own car thief fast, but when you change cars, you can’t drive at all. The second is that as long as you touch the steering wheel, you can play to the limit of this car, no matter what car it is. Oh yes, there is another variable on the car, which is the track. There are also two types of drivers here. The first is that you can only be fast at the home court, or you need a lot of practice to improve the lap time to a relatively fast level. , the second is wherever you go, two or three laps of practice can make a result similar to the personal fastest lap (if the simulator is familiar with the track in advance).

The reason is the same, the first type of driver relies more on the concepts already in the brain. The more you drive your car, the better you will know about the performance, feedback, and dynamics of the vehicle, and you can even guess what will happen to the car before you make an action. Familiar with the track is the same, through trial and error again and again, to find the correct braking point, and then find the reference object, even if it is a corner.

The second type of driver relies more on “feeling”. When driving, the state of the vehicle will appear in his mind a second later, so he can better play the lead. For different vehicles, you can basically make a judgment after one or two corners by touch (in the cartoon’s initial D, Takuhai Kaichigu, Ashu’s car will be able to get started soon), and go to a brand new track. It is also possible to estimate a rough braking point based on the angle of the curve and the braking performance of the vehicle, which are often very different. So it feels like the drivers do not need to rely on practice to make good laps, and the WRC players are probably the tip of the pyramid in this regard.
