Rainy days are the high incidence of traffic accidents, because in the rain, the driver's vision clarity decreases, the friction between the tires and the ground is reduced, coupled with the depressed mood brought by the rainy weather to people, it is easy to cause traffic accidents. So what do we need to pay attention to when driving on a rainy day? Today, we have made a simple arrangement of the precautions for driving safety on rainy days.
First, maintain a good field of vision
In addition to driving cautiously on the road on rainy days, it is necessary to turn on the wiper in time, rationally use lights, air conditioning and fog removal. The light can not only play the role of lighting, but more importantly, prompt other vehicles to their own position, low visibility on rainy days, timely opening of the lights will greatly reduce the incidence of accidents, but it should be noted that do not turn on high beams on heavy rainy days, and the reflection caused will affect the driver's line of sight.
Second, prevent tires from sliding
The ground is wet in the rain, and it is easy to cause tire slippage, so you can't brake sharply when turning, it is best to slow down in a straight line, and then enter the corner. If you encounter an emergency, you need to brake sharply, do not panic, either twist the steering wheel to avoid, or brake in a straight line, do not brake at the same time and avoid, this does not play any role.
Third, drive slowly
Regardless of the width and narrowness of the road, the condition of the road surface is good or bad, driving slowly in the rain, paying attention to the distance between the vehicles in front and behind and your own car at any time, and making psychological preparations for taking various emergency measures in advance. On rainy days, the visibility is low, the field of vision is poor, and the emergency performance of the vehicle such as braking distance will also be reduced, so it is necessary to slow down in advance and leave enough time and space to deal with the situation to ensure safety.
Fourth, reduce the generation of fog
When driving, it suddenly rains outside, the temperature drops, the temperature of the windshield also drops, and the water vapor in the car condenses into fog when it encounters the windshield, blocking the line of sight, in this case, you need to turn on the air conditioner to remove fog.
Fifth, learn the skills of wading in the rain
On the road with stagnant water, you need to be cautious, generally at a low speed and straight ahead, and you can't stop at will. If the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe, a detour is required.
Sixth, pay attention to following the car
In particular, the big car should not follow too closely, one will 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, so that the car suffers.
7. Pay attention to pedestrians
Because pedestrians in the rain hold umbrellas, cyclists wear ponchos, their vision, hearing, reaction, etc. are restricted, and sometimes in order to rush through the turn, often panic and slip when the vehicle is approaching, so that the driver is caught off guard. When encountering this situation, the driver should slow down, patiently avoid, if necessary, choose a safe place to park, and must not rush with pedestrians and bicycles in a hurry.
