The headlights are the lighting devices on the car, but its role is not limited to lighting, in some special cases, you can also give other vehicles some tips to increase driving safety. But many novice drivers only understand the basic role of the headlights, do not know the other roles of the lights, and sometimes see other owners on the road flashing lights at themselves can not react.
Everyone should be flashed by other people when driving, sometimes flashing, sometimes flashing twice. If you are an experienced old driver, see others flashing their lights at themselves, they know what the other party's intentions are, and they can quickly make adjustments. But the novice driver is not clear and is still blindly continuing to drive. Sometimes the old driver will be angry with the novice driver jumping straight to his feet, directly calling even the headlights code do not understand, what else to drive?
What does the headlight mean by flashing it, flashing it twice, flashing it three times?
The headlights flash to remind the car in front of you that it's time to get started
When waiting for traffic lights, if the owner of the front car is distracted and does not see the signal light turning into a green light, the owner of the rear car will generally flash the car light to remind the owner in front. If the other party still has no response after flashing, the owner will flash it again, and if there is still no response, the owner will honk the horn to remind.
If the headlights flash, it is also possible that the rear car wants to overtake. In the process of vehicle driving, if the speed of the vehicle in front is relatively slow, the owner of the rear car is more anxious, in the case of conditions permitting, the owner will flash the car lights, indicating that the front vehicle itself to overtake, the owner of the front car after receiving the signal, if you want to let the other party overtake will maintain the original speed, and stay in the original lane without moving, to the rear car to create opportunities to overtake.
The headlights flash twice to remind the owner to switch the low beam
Driving at night, headlights are an indispensable auxiliary tool, many owners feel that the surrounding light is dim at night, and the low beams are not very bright, and they will turn on the high beam lights on the car. If you are in a more remote section of the road, there are no street lights around, and there are no other vehicles on the road, it is okay to drive high beams. However, if there is a vehicle coming from the opposite side, be sure to cut back to the low beam in time.
The brightness of the high beam is stronger, the illumination range is wider, and the high beam will hinder the line of sight of the owner of the opposite lane, resulting in a blur in front of the owner's eyes, unable to judge the road condition, and it is easy to cause traffic accidents. Generally, when someone has been turning on the high beam, the owner will get off the car lights twice in a row to remind each other to switch lights.
The headlights flash three times, which means that there is an emergency
Many people have not developed the habit of checking the vehicle before getting on the car, and during the driving process, some other situations may occur in the vehicle, such as the door is okay and the trunk is forgotten to close. Or, while driving, the rear of the vehicle suddenly smokes. Others will also honk the horn and flash the headlights to remind them, generally in the event of such an emergency, everyone will flash the lights several times in a row.
Novice drivers do not understand these conventional rules, hear someone next to them constantly honking their horns at themselves, or the owner of the car flashing lights, but also think that the other party is provocative, the throttle on the foot is stepping deeper and deeper, wanting to stay away from each other. In fact, the other party is not provoking you, but reminding you that the vehicle has an abnormal condition. If you encounter someone flashing the car lights three times in a row, don't drive blindly anymore, and be sure to pay attention to parking checks.
