The frequency of domestic rainstorms has increased significantly, and there are many extreme rainstorms, which is another safety challenge for cardholders who go south and north to run freight, and want to reach their destinations smoothly. In this article, let's talk about the precautions for driving in rainy days.
▏ Calm down, slow down, don't worry
Card friends on weekdays through the mountains and rivers driving on the major highways, national highways, sometimes it is inevitable to encounter rain, at this time, whether it is light rain, or heavy rain and other extreme weather, the first thing to do is to calm down, both hands to control the direction, calm to deal with all the situations that may arise next.
For the driver, driving in rainy days has a great impact on the field of vision, and at the same time, according to the amount of rainfall, the field of vision will also appear a "from there to nothing" situation. For example, when we are driving on the highway and suddenly encounter a heavy rain, the rain is pouring down, and the wipers are not working, what should we do?
At this time, we should release the throttle slowly, reduce the speed appropriately, and hold the steering wheel tightly, so as not to let the vehicle deviate due to the slippery road. At the same time, it is also necessary to turn on the double flashes to remind the car behind, please slow down to maintain a safe distance, and then turn on the low beam or fog lights appropriately when it is safe to do so.
Some cardholders may ask, in this case, is it not possible to directly step on the brakes and reduce the speed? This is not recommended, as you may not be able to cause a rear-end collision if you brake suddenly. In addition, in the case of sudden acute rainfall, the formation of a rain curtain will make the visibility drop sharply, if you see the service area at this time, it is recommended that cardholders drive in as soon as possible and stop and wait, and set off again after the situation is good.
Of course, this situation will also be encountered in the national road conditions, compared with the high-speed, the national road conditions have more pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles and other road participants, when driving on the road, cardholders must pay attention to observe pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, because the road participants at this time are in a hurry and at a loss, it is inevitable that there will be some inappropriate behavior, it is recommended that card friends slow down and be patient to avoid.
▏ Clever use of vehicle configuration to maintain a good view
The humidity of the air is high on rainy days, and the temperature is lower than that on sunny days, so it is extremely easy to have a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, causing the glass to fog up. At this time, it is recommended that cardholders turn on the air conditioner and open the external circulation during the driving process, so that the vehicle can keep the internal and external temperature consistent, and can use a large air volume to quickly eliminate the glass mist when it is initially opened.
In addition, many vehicles are now equipped with electric heating function of rearview mirrors, when driving in the rain, cardholders can open it moderately, which can effectively prevent rainwater from condensing on the mirror surface and affect the vision, and can also further improve the external vision of the vehicle.
▏ Maintain a safe distance and avoid emergency braking
Whether it's good weather or rainy weather, maintaining a safe distance has always been a common topic, after all, there are more and more cars on the road now, and it is easy to rear-end collision and scraping if you are not careful. In rainy days, the road surface is slippery, and the braking distance of the vehicle increases significantly, so the distance between vehicles should be kept at more than 100m in light rain and more than 200m in heavy rain.
At the same time, due to the slippery ground, the truck must not slam on the brakes during the driving process, and hit the direction sharply to prevent dangerous accidents such as pushing the head and rolling over the vehicle. In rainy days, the anticipatory driving habit will play a greater role, and in the case of maintaining a safe distance, be sure to apply the brakes lightly and do not be impatient.
