In the rainy season, farming is busy
Increased rainfall
Rainy days not only make it difficult for people to travel, but also make it easy for traffic accidents to occur
This Safe Rainy Day Guide
It is very useful for both novice and experienced drivers!
Are you ready to hit the road on a rainy day?
Pedestrian safety
01Avoid hazardous areas
When traveling in rainy days, pedestrians should pay attention to observation and try to avoid areas such as street lamp poles, signal light poles, outdoor units of air conditioners, and floor-to-ceiling billboards. Do not approach or take shelter from the rain under overhead lines and transformers, because strong winds may blow off overhead wires, and lightning strikes and heavy rains can easily cause short circuits and discharges of bare wires or transformers, posing a threat to personal safety.
If you find that the wire is broken in the water, do not deal with it yourself, you should immediately mark the surroundings and call the police in time!
02Choose a strong building to shelter from the rain
If you're outside just before a rainstorm, try to find a safe place to stay until the rainstorm is over. This safe place must be a solid building, or a building on higher ground. If the rainstorm has already started, while sheltering from the rain, contact your family as much as possible to let them know your exact location and reassure them. When choosing a shelter from the rain, stay away from the temporary fence of the construction site, as well as the fence built on the hillside.
03Don't wade into the water
Due to the continuous heavy rainfall, the road surface is prone to water accumulation, and objects such as sediment and garbage are washed into the water, so passers-by should be careful at this time. We can see the large suspended matter above the stagnant water, but we don't know what is under the stagnant water. So don't wade into the water rashly. Otherwise, once you fall into a manhole or a pit or hole, it may cause greater insecurity.
04Pay attention to lightning protection
When heavy rain is accompanied by thunder and lightning, pedestrians should also pay attention to lightning protection. Try to stay in a safe building and keep your body dry. If there are no buildings to take shelter from and it rains on the road, don't stand under trees, under telephone poles, or throw away your umbrella, because the metal on the skeleton of the umbrella may also conduct electricity. In addition, if the lightning weather is outdoors, the mobile phone must not be used.
05 The elderly and children should try not to go out alone
In case of wind and rain, try to go out as much as possible, especially the elderly, children, and pregnant women. If you must go out, you should wear raincoats and other rainproof equipment. Pay attention to safety on the road and keep a wide distance from vehicles and pedestrians in front of you.
If you are outdoors, wear rubber shoes to avoid electric shock. When it's raining heavily, don't ride hard to avoid the rain, but pay attention and see the road ahead. The roads are muddy and slippery after rain, so you should slow down your ride.
Cycling safety
01Understand the road conditions
It sounds simple, but sometimes we forget the simplest things. Beware of muddy pools on the road, as there may be rocks or large potholes underneath.
02Keep your eyes clear
For citizens who wear glasses, when riding in the rain, the rain will confuse their eyes, so remember to wipe them regularly to ensure a clear line of sight.
03 Wear a raincoat and ride a bicycle and remember to look left and right
Riding a bicycle in rainy days, do not wear an umbrella as much as possible, "riding a bicycle with an umbrella, it is easy to block (the cyclist's) view, and the umbrella is easy to be blown over after encountering strong winds, and the road is slippery in rainy days, which can easily cause traffic accidents." Wear a raincoat and pay attention when cycling around corners, do not make sharp turns, and try to avoid roads with standing water to prevent potholes or obstacles underwater.
04 Be careful when cornering
When it rains, slippery roads and gravel can slip the tires and make cornering more dangerous. Therefore, it is important to brake early, and you must also be aware of other people and vehicles.
05Remember to turn on your headlights
Especially for electric vehicles, where the light is not enough, the lights must be turned on. Not only does it play a role in lighting, but it also makes it easier for the car to see you.
06Avoid slipping when going uphill
If the slope is quite steep (slope greater than 10%+), be careful not to slip the rear wheels, as wet roads will weaken the friction of the rear wheels.
Maintain a seated position as much as possible to allow more weight to be carried on the rear wheels. Be careful of water on the road.
Driving safety
01Check before driving in rainy weather
It is best to go to the 4S shop to check whether the waterproof parts are in good condition when driving in the rainy season, focusing on the seals such as half-shaft dust jackets, steering machine dust jackets, and ball head dust jackets.
02Maintain a safe distance
The driver must appropriately reduce the driving speed, increase the following distance, and at the same time turn on the running lights, especially when it rains heavily. Although the windshield is equipped with wipers, the light transmission rate is reduced due to the rain, so the visual distance is greatly shortened, and the visibility is greatly reduced, which brings great difficulties to the correct observation and judgment of vehicles and pedestrians, as well as the correct choice of driving routes.
03 The road is slippery in rainy days, so brake properly
On the one hand, the braking distance is greatly extended, and if the speed is too fast, it is almost impossible to guarantee the safety of driving; on the other hand, when driving at high speed braking in rainy days, it is very easy to slip and flick the tail, so that the vehicle loses control.
04 The driver's mind should be highly concentrated
When it rains, the driver should be observant, pay special attention to cyclists in raincoats, in this case, the driver should be calm and cautious, pay attention to observation, slow down, maintain sufficient longitudinal and transverse spacing, and must be ready to brake at any time.
05Do not restart after the ignition is turned off
In case of heavy rain, if the car has to wade into the water, it should use the low gear to pass at a constant speed. Once the engine is turned off, do not try to start again, which may lead to the scrapping of the engine; if you find that the air filter is wet or water, you should stop and check as soon as possible to avoid water ingress into the engine; if the wading depth exceeds the engine compartment cover, it is recommended not to drive again, and stop the engine immediately, otherwise it is easy to cause "valve top"; do not cross the ditch and puddle at high speed, which is easy to cause water ingress into the engine.
