Woman behind the wheel: errors we make on the road, and advice on how to repair everything

Voice spoke with the commissioner of the social project “Help on the Roads” of “insurance” Albina Abramova, who leaves every day for those who face unforeseen events on the road and provide first aid, help to write documents for an accident, to call the tow truck, to advise and much more. Our heroine told the stories of women pilots, of which she has become the witness, and shared how to face a particular problem not only technically, but also unimporte.

Deeply at night, I went up inside the Ring Road in Moscow. Suddenly, I see – a car rushes for me on the way in the opposite direction. In a fraction of a second, we both turned to the side of the road. There was a pregnant woman while driving. Eighth month. It turned out that someone cut it on a slippery road, and the car turned into an opposite direction.

We called the traffic police, blocked the road, unfolded his car and everything ended safely. But the two hugged their hands and my heart fell frantically for half an hour.

What to do in such a situation:

And remember: panic is not an error or a sign of weakness. It is a natural reaction to a non -standard situation. Do not blame yourself: you have the right to be afraid, because you are only a person. The main thing is what to do afterwards.

Summer day, TTK. The woman decided to have lunch. Just behind the steering wheel. A plate, Pilaf – Everything is at home. In the end, of course, she could not hold the wheel and “assembled” three cars. Everyone is alive, but the damage is seriously caused. When I arrived, she always tried to remove the rice from the front panel …

What to do in such a situation:

City center. It’s raining, there is incredible heat. I will see an accident involving a taxi driver and a girl. She already has a clear hysteria. I go up and clarify what happened: it turned out that there is no disagreement between the participants in the accident, but the two do not know how and cannot compile Europrotocol correctly (this is a simplified system to design accidents without calling the police. – Ed.). Then, I invited them to our large yellow pick-up, and together, we all invented, dried up a little and expired, after which we separated peacefully.

What to do in such a situation:

Summer. I’m going to see how the white “golf” will exceed Kamaz, it hurts, but … continue to go further. At the same time, a quarter of the car is simply demolished. Then I start to point out and show that I have to go to the side of the road. We stopped, I got out of the car and I see: the girl is sitting at the wheel of the golf course. She said that she was traveling at an authorized speed, listening to the music strongly and imagined that she cut Gelendvagen. I noticed and in these dreams went beyond. The kamaz driving on the side fell: of course, huge, did not notice anything and continued, but the golf was seriously injured. Nevertheless, me, after examining the car, I tried to calm the car alloys and, together, we started to wait for the traffic police.

What to do in such a situation:

Maybe my answer will surprise you, but it rarely happens. Most accidents in my practice go to the participation of men. This is confirmed by independent studies data, for example, HSE: Men on the roads are three times more violations. And women are more careful, attentive.

But if something similar happens, it is often that they are without support. The husband does not answer, the children in the lessons, at home far.

For such cases, insurance is necessary. CTP-CTP-VOISH minimum, at least a certain legal protection. CASCO – Your financial protection. And, of course, the people who will come. Support. They will speak. Help. Like our “Help on roads” project of “T insurance” – we are freely going to motorists who have been in different emergency situations on the road. And we try to be a support for them.

Finally: Remember – You are not alone. You are not a bad driver. You had force majeure. Bad day. But you will certainly do it. First with trembling hands, but every minute, you will be more confident. And at the end, you are waiting for gratitude for surviving him.

And we are nearby. Always.
