Recently, in the Jurisdiction of the Qinzhou Section of the Lanhai Expressway, affected by rainy weather, the road is slippery on rainy days, and traffic accidents caused by vehicle slippage often occur on the highway.
At 9:30 a.m. on May 10, 2,081 kilometers from Beihai to Nanning (near the Qinzhou West Toll), a Gui N pickup truck slipped and hit the guardrail during the drive, and after the incident, the vehicle rotated 180 degrees and got stuck on the guardrail and could not start.
At 11:10 a.m. on May 10, 2,066 kilometers from Nanning to Beihai on the Lanhai Expressway (near the Dasi toll station), a Gui N car slipped out of control and hit the guardrail. The front of the car was severely damaged.
After the Guangxi High-speed Traffic Police Seven Brigade Accident Handling Police understand, it was found that the vehicles of these two accidents, the speed of driving at that time was generally relatively fast, when traveling to the road section of the incident, due to the wet and slippery road surface on rainy days, the driver's improper operation, resulting in the vehicle slipping out of control. Fortunately, the occupants of the car were all wearing seat belts, which did not cause injuries.
Guangxi high-speed traffic police warm tips: rainy days travel, before traveling to check the car condition in advance to ensure that the car is in good condition; when driving on the highway, pay attention to reducing the speed, maintaining the distance between the car, not arbitrarily changing the lane; at the same time, the line of sight is blurred on rainy days, when the vehicle turns, the rain on the road surface and the tire form a "lubricant", so that the braking of the car becomes worse, easy to produce side slip, and must slow down. When traveling in the rain, you must be more cautious than usual, drive in a civilized manner, and avoid danger.
【Driving in rainy days needs to be cautious, car condition safety is the most important】
1. Replace the wiper regularly, preferably once a year. If the wiper's ability to sweep water decreases, it will be difficult to observe the road conditions on rainy days. Especially when driving at high speeds, the wiper blade floats upwards, and the ability to sweep water is even worse. In addition, driving in the night rain, the raindrops that are not scratched will produce various reflected lights under the light, making the front vision extremely blurred, which is easy to cause accidents.
2. Regularly check whether the drainage of the waterproof trough in the front windshield is unobstructed. Avoid water ingress into the engine caused by accumulated water on rainy days and prevent short circuits in the on-board computer.
3. Regularly check the condition of the car, check the wear of the tires, and replace them in time. Tires are over-worn, and it is easy to form a water film between the tread and the water surface, resulting in the car running away, tail flinging and longer braking distances. When the car brakes in the rain, the most important thing is to have enough force to drain the rain between the tire and the road surface, so that the car can stop smoothly.
【What should be paid attention to in the safety of driving in rainy days】
1. Maintain a good view: In addition to driving cautiously on the road on rainy days, open the wiper in time, and turn on the low beam and anti-fog lights when the weather is dark. If there is frost in the front windshield, it is necessary to turn on the air conditioner and blow the air conditioner to the front windshield; If there is frost in the rear windshield, open the rear windshield heater to eliminate the frost as soon as possible so as not to see the vehicle behind.
2. Prevent wheel skidding: When driving in the rain, the "lubricant" is formed between the rain on the road surface and the tire, which makes the braking ability of the car worse, easy to produce side slip, and try to avoid the waterlogged road surface. Therefore, the driver should balance and hold the steering wheel with both hands, maintain a straight line and low speed, and when it is necessary to turn, it should slowly and point on the brakes to prevent the tire from being locked and causing the vehicle to slide.
3. Do not drive with the car: especially the big car should not follow too closely, one is to block the line of sight; the second is that the big car can pass the water car may not be able to pass, and the big car is easy to splash the water, which will affect the car.
4. Turn on the lights in time: In the event of heavy rain, when the line of sight is extremely low, the headlamps, contour lights and rear position lights should be turned on, and the vehicle should be driven off the highway or to the service area to stop and rest.
