The biggest problem with driving in the rain is the obstruction of vision, which has a great impact on our driving safety. But the front windshield of a car still has at least a wiper to wipe down raindrops, and the car rearview mirrors aren't so lucky. What should we do when the rearview mirror of a car cannot be seen clearly on a rainy day? Today Xiaobian will teach you a few ways to deal with it easily.
First, the rearview mirror heating function
With the continuous development of technology, there are more and more functions on the car today, such as the heating function of the exterior mirror. This function works by heating the mirrors to quickly dry out the rain on the mirrors to ensure that we can see the rear through the mirrors. In addition to the rearview mirror has a heating function, the rear window glass of the car also has a heating function, and you can dry the rear window glass through this function.
Second, the rearview mirror rainproof film
In order to ensure that the car rearview mirror can be seen on rainy days, many old drivers will install rainproof film on the rearview mirror of the car. Good quality rearview mirror rainproof film can not only effectively prevent rainwater from adhering to the rearview mirror, but also has the effect of dustproof and anti-fog, which can always ensure that the mirror surface of the car rearview mirror maintains a clear field of vision, thereby improving the safety factor of driving on rainy days.
Third, the rearview mirror rain eyebrows
In order to ensure that the rearview mirrors of the car can be seen on rainy days, in addition to oil control to install rainproof film on the rearview mirrors, we can also install rain eyebrows on the rearview mirrors. The rearview mirror rain eyebrow can effectively resist the rain when it rains, so that we can see the surrounding car condition. However, when you install the rearview mirror rain eyebrow, it is best to choose a light color and high transparency of the rain eyebrow, do not choose a dark rain eyebrow, otherwise driving at night will particularly affect the line of sight.
4. Apply some soap
If you don't want to spend money on the rearview mirror rain film and rain eyebrows, you can apply soap to the rearview mirror. The principle of this practice is that the active ingredient contained in the soap can destroy the surface tension in the water droplets, so that the rain drops on the rearview mirror will not form water droplets, and will attach to the glass in the form of a water film, so that the mirror surface always maintains good clarity. Although this practice can play a certain role in repelling water, its effect time is relatively short, and it may be invalid after two or three hours.
After talking about how to keep the rearview mirror clear vision when driving on a rainy day, let's talk about the techniques of driving on a rainy day. The most important point of driving in the rain is to maintain a certain safe distance from the car in front, the road surface is very wet and slippery on rainy days, and the braking ability of the car becomes poor. If you do not maintain a certain safe distance from the car in front of you, once you encounter an unexpected situation, it is easy to crash into it.
In addition, when we are driving on a rainy day, we must drive slowly at a low speed, and do not hit the steering wheel or brake sharply. If you encounter an electric car or a pedestrian, let it go, do not overtake at will. Especially when encountering the waterlogged section, you must pass slowly and carefully, it is best to observe the depth of the water first, if the water surface height exceeds the exhaust pipe, it is safer to take a detour, so as not to suddenly stop the car on the way to the water.
