Whether driving on expressway or in a tunnel, the speed of the left and right lanes is different. Generally speaking, the speed of the left lane is relatively faster than that of the right lane, so we can leave the tunnel faster by driving into the tunnel and taking the left lane, which can save a lot of time.
Moreover, some tunnels in expressway are two lanes, and the right lane is for emergency. If you take the right lane, you are likely to break down and have to change lanes to the left lane, which is quite troublesome.
Secondly, large trucks usually drive on the right after entering the high-speed tunnel. If you take the right lane after entering the tunnel, you are likely to hit a big truck. Due to the large size of large trucks, they can't see the road ahead clearly when driving, which is prone to traffic accidents.
Moreover, the weight of large trucks is relatively heavy, which is difficult to control in the event of an accident. If we follow the big truck, we are likely to be hit by the goods on the truck. The most important thing is that big trucks have blind spots. If we drive in the right lane after entering the tunnel and are attacked by a big truck, we are likely to be knocked down by a big truck. Therefore, for safety reasons, many drivers will choose to take the left lane after entering the tunnel.
In addition, the reason why old drivers choose to take the left lane after driving into the tunnel is because the accident rate of the right lane is relatively high, and pedestrians in the tunnel will take the right lane.
If you take the right lane after entering the tunnel, you may accidentally hit a pedestrian, and the consequences are unpredictable. So to be on the safe side, everyone should try to take the left lane after driving into the tunnel.
So what should I pay attention to when driving in the tunnel? First of all, turn on the light before driving into the tunnel and slow down. Because driving into the tunnel needs to adapt to the process from light to dark, if you drive too fast, it is easy to have a traffic accident. Moreover, the light in the tunnel is dim, so if you don't turn on the light in advance, you can't see the road ahead clearly.
Secondly, when driving in the tunnel, we must not overtake at will. The traffic in the tunnel is complicated and the sight is dim. If we overtake in the tunnel, we are likely to collide with other vehicles. When driving in the tunnel, don't overtake or stop at will. If you stop suddenly, it is very likely that the vehicle behind you will suddenly hit, which is very dangerous.
