What should I do if I suddenly encounter heavy rain while driving at high speed? These safe driving knowledge should be mastered.

With the economic growth and the comprehensive coverage of high-speed network in China, driving on high-speed has become a common thing. I believe that many old drivers who often go to expressway have been able to cope with the weather in expressway, but most drivers will still be very nervous about the sudden change of face, which will test the psychological quality and driving skills of car owners. But the problem is not big. Learn these skills from Bian Xiao, and you can save your life at a critical moment.

1. Turn on the headlights and slow down.

Generally speaking, heavy rain will be accompanied by dark clouds, so the external environment will be very dark. Therefore, it is necessary to turn on the front and rear fog lights, including headlights and width indicators, in order to get the maximum driving vision, let other vehicles feel your presence, avoid the possibility of rear-end collision and avoid unnecessary accidents. Minimize the danger as much as possible. At the same time, when it rains heavily, be sure to hold the steering wheel tightly and keep the distance between the front and rear cars. It is best not to turn on double flashing in non-emergency situations. Remember not to overtake at this time! Instead of overtaking, it is better to keep the normal driving distance. As for the speed, it is best to keep it around 80. This not only protects yourself but also protects others!

Turn on fog lights

Generally speaking, fog will appear in cars in rainstorm weather, which will affect the driver's sight. If the fog is too big to stop the glass, it is necessary to defog, turn the air conditioner to the position of cold wind, and keep the temperature inside and outside the car at a level. The advantage of this is to ensure that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is consistent, and if the temperature difference between the inside and outside is not large, the fog can be removed.

Don't brake suddenly

During the rainstorm, try to drive in the middle of the road and keep the wheels turning forward at any time to avoid the possibility of side collision with other vehicles, and there is also room for driving to avoid accidents. The key is never to brake suddenly when the vehicle is driving. The road is slippery in rainy days, and sudden braking is likely to cause the vehicle to overturn! This is extremely dangerous!

4. Leave expressway as soon as possible or rest in the service area.

In the sudden stormy weather, Bian Xiao still suggested that it is best to leave expressway in time. Drivers can choose to go to the service area to adjust to avoid fatigue driving. Even if we are in a hurry, we don't have to fight for the moment and put ourselves in danger. After all, sometimes slowing down is not necessarily a bad thing. This is for our own driving safety, and we can't ignore our personal safety because we are in a hurry! After all, life is safer than ever.

Generally speaking, you can't drive carelessly on the expressway. When expressway encounters a rainstorm, the most important thing is to protect the driver's vision and slow down to follow the car. It's best to drive in the middle of the road, but the safest way is to get off the highway. Oh, this is to find the service area and try to continue your journey until it rains little or no more. In addition to driving carefully, try to read the weather forecast in advance before going out and try to avoid bad weather. Only in this way can we do this.
