Shiyan Radio and Television News (all-media reporter Weng Hong correspondent Yang Xiao Sun Yi) an autumn rain and a cold, recently, the invasion of cold air has brought continuous rain, Shiyan urban area cooling amplitude gradually increased, the feeling of cold is increasing day by day. According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, from October 14 to 17, a new strong cold air struck, which will be the strongest cold air since the second half of the year.
Affected by this, Shiyan City is about to appear a "quick-freezing mode" of cooling, rain and snow, and the maximum temperature in some areas will drop to single digits. In addition to temperature changes, traffic safety hazards have also increased. So what potential safety hazards do you need to pay attention to when driving on rainy days? Shiyan high police sent a "police" bag to drive safely on rainy and foggy days:
1. Before driving, grasp the real-time weather and road condition information through the official microblog of the @ Shiyan High Police, news media, etc., do a good job of travel planning, check and maintain the vehicle before departure, especially whether the wiper, lights, etc. are working normally, put an end to "sick cars" on the road, and ensure driving safety.
2. Rain and snow weather road surface is slippery, tire and road friction is reduced, once the speed is too fast, or hit the steering wheel, it is easy to cause the vehicle to lose control and roll over due to the phenomenon of "water slip". When driving, you should appropriately increase the distance with the car, maintain a safe speed, pay attention to the road conditions, take braking and deceleration measures in advance in case of unexpected conditions, and avoid emergency braking and emergency steering to prevent the danger of vehicle skidding.
3. Rain and snow will also cause the driver's line of sight to be obstructed, adversely affecting the safety of driving, in addition to opening the wiper in time during the journey, when the weather is dark, you should also open the low beam, silhouette light and fog light. If the front windshield fogs, the air outlet mode can be adjusted to defogging, and the air conditioner can be turned on to dispel the fog; If there is frost in the rear windshield, open the rear windshield heater to eliminate the frost as soon as possible and keep a good line of sight.
4. Rain and snow weather high-speed driving encounter fog, before entering the "fog", such as distance and speed can meet the conditions of lane change, under the premise of ensuring safety, to open the signal light, slow down into the rightmost lane. If you have entered the fog area, you should turn on the fog lights, contour lights, hazard alarm flash lights and low beam lights in time, do not stop on the spot, at this time it is strictly forbidden to open the high beam lights! The high beam illuminates the direction upwards, and the light emitted is diffusely reflected by the fog, forming a white expanse in front of the car, which will block the line of sight and bring safety hazards.
5. Keep in mind the "speed reduction, control distance, bright tail" safety three treasures. Reduce the speed of the car to allow yourself time for emergencies, control the distance from the car in front, ensure that you are "seen", avoid the occurrence of rear-end accidents to the greatest extent, reduce the possibility of rollover, and minimize the probability of accidents.
6. Rain, fog, ice and snow weather, in the case of bad vision, frequent honking of the horn can play a role in warning other vehicles. When you hear the horn of other cars, you should immediately honk your horn in response, prompting you to drive. If the distance judgment is difficult, continuous light braking can not only control the speed, the tail light becomes bright when braking, but also reminds the rear vehicle to pay attention to maintaining the distance.
