Recently, I often encounter falling objects on the highway.

Look closer, look farther! The importance of

I have participated several times in the pastDriving lesson Sunako Juku..

Therefore, one of the things that Sunako often says is, "The line of sight (where you are looking) is close. Look farther!"

Certainly, if you are desperate to run, you tend to just look at the situation in front of you, but if you suddenly look far away (toward the destination), you will get a sense of the whole and you will not be good at yourself. I feel that the way I run changes.

… So, this is not only advice for driving on the circuit, but after all this “line of sight is far away” is also very important when driving on public roads.

I always try to drive while checking various situations by keeping my eyes in front of me and even far away.

It was on this day that there was an event that made me realize its importance.

The other dayThere was a fallen object on the highway and I thought "Wow!" And avoided it.However, on this day, there were events on the "going" and "returning" that I went out on the highway.

What is it ~!

Somehow, in 2022, I seem to be sick of falling objects. Shall we go exploring bamboo and bushes? (Oh, that's not a fallen object, but a dropped object (laughs)).

Here is the event of the day ↓

This is a dash cam image that is very small and you may not understand it, but when you actually see it, you can see it more properly, so when you were looking around the yellow arrow at this distance, you noticed something unusual. rice field.

Can't you see it in the image?

As you can see, something is about to fall off the truck.

Do you understand if you enlarge it?

When I saw this with my eyes, I knew, "Oh, that's bad. That cover or something is about to fall off the truck."

At this point, deceleration has already started.

Yes, I'm here ~.

it fell.

Cover from the truck in front of you? Something like that has fallen. It was the first time I witnessed such a falling moment.

Since I had already dared to step on the brakes and started decelerating, the following car may have wondered "Why is this Porsche suddenly braking and decelerating?", But rather than suddenly braking I think it was good that we were able to decelerate with a margin so that the following cars could think "what happened?" From early on.

Of course, the hazard lights up after visually observing that the falling object has fallen.

I think it would have been dangerous if this was also done normally.

At this point, I was already able to slow down considerably, so I was able to slowly approach the right side and avoid it.

And this is the way back on the same day.

I don't remember much except for fun (laughs), so I completely forgot about the falling objects on the way and ran in good mood.

But.

I caught something with a line of sight that was looking far away.

Doesn't it look so much if this is also a dashcam image? I could see it visually.

This is this.

Any big vinyl? Is flying!

A large vinyl that changes its course fluffy due to the wind and flies toward us.

I thought, "Wow, this is the one that will end if it sticks to the windshield!"

As a result, he flew fluffy to the left of my car, so I was able to do it without any problems. it was good.

It is not known what happened to the following cars.

Somehow, recently, I feel that various things are falling on the highway and flying (?) More often than before.

Is my encounter rate with such falling objects just increasing? ?? Well, I wonder if I should walk on the bamboo grove (laughs).

Anyway, please be careful! "The line of sight is far away" ^^
