Rainy days are the weather with high incidence of traffic accidents. Because in the rain, the visibility of drivers decreases, the friction between tires and the ground decreases, and the gloomy mood brought by rainy weather, it is easy to cause traffic accidents. So what should we pay attention to when driving in rainy days? Today, we made a simple sorting on the safety precautions for driving in rainy days.
1、 Keep a good view
When driving on the road in rainy days, in addition to driving carefully, the wipers should be turned on in time, and the lighting, air conditioning and defogging functions should be used reasonably. The light can not only serve as illumination, but also remind other vehicles of their own positions. The visibility is low in rainy days. Timely turning on the light will greatly reduce the incidence of accidents. However, it should be noted that the high beam should not be turned on in rainy days, because the reflection will affect the driver's vision instead.
2、 Prevent tire sideslip
In rainy days, the ground is wet, and tire sideslip is easy to occur, so you can't brake hard when turning. It's better to decelerate in a straight line, and then enter the curve. In case of an emergency, it is necessary to brake suddenly. Don't panic. Either twist the steering wheel to avoid, or brake in a straight line. Do not brake while avoiding. This will not work.
3、 Drive slowly
Whether the road is wide or narrow, the road condition is good or bad, drive slowly in the rain, pay attention to the distance between the front and rear vehicles and your own vehicle at any time, and be prepared to take various emergency measures in advance. In rainy days, the visibility is low, the vision is poor, and the braking distance of the vehicle and other emergency performance will also be reduced. All vehicles should slow down in advance, leaving enough time and space to deal with the situation to ensure safety.
4、 Reduce fog generation
When driving, it suddenly began to rain outside, and the temperature dropped, so did the temperature of the windshield. The water vapor in the car condensed into fog when it met the windshield, blocking the vision. In this case, you need to turn on the air conditioner for defogging.
5、 Learn the skills of wading in rainy days
You should be careful on the road with accumulated water. Generally, you should drive straight at low speed and cannot stop at will. If the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe, detour is required.
6、 Follow the car carefully
In particular, the cart should not follow too closely. First, it will block the line of sight; Second, the ponding cart that can pass may not be able to pass, moreover, the cart is easy to splash water waves, which will hurt the cart.
7、 Pay attention to pedestrians
Because pedestrians in the rain hold umbrellas and cyclists wear ponchos, their sight, hearing, reaction, etc. are limited. Sometimes they also turn violently in order to rush across the road. They often panic when the vehicle is approaching and slip, which makes the driver unprepared. In this case, the driver should slow down and patiently avoid. If necessary, he can choose a safe place to stop. He must not rush with pedestrians and bicycles.
