Safe driving in rainy season and correct car protection.

Safe driving in rainy season and correct car protection.

The rainstorm is coming, and many riders are afraid to drive. On the one hand, because of heavy rainfall, the line of sight is blocked, which affects driving safety; On the other hand, because some novice drivers have not mastered the driving skills in heavy rain, they are particularly afraid to wade. However, experience actually comes from practice. Let me tell you some precautions and driving skills in heavy rain.

0 1. Check vehicle function.

Driving in heavy rain, clear sight is the most important thing. Then, the two major problems that affect the line of sight when driving in rainy days are unclear glass and fog. Therefore, when driving in rainstorm weather, it is necessary to check whether the wiper of the vehicle works normally. If the wiper is damaged or doesn't work properly, try not to drive, because it is almost impossible to drive without the wiper in heavy rain.

In addition, check whether the defogging function of the vehicle can be used normally. One of the most important defogging functions is the windshield defogging button on the air conditioning panel, if the air is blown normally. Secondly, you can also turn on the heating function of the rearview mirror when driving, which will also solve the problem that the rain in the rearview mirror affects the line of sight to a certain extent.

02, increase the distance with the car and predict in advance.

The biggest difference between driving in rainy days and driving in sunny days is that there is water on the road. Water accumulation will not only reduce the grip of tires, but also directly make the braking distance longer. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the following distance, step on the brakes in advance, and choose the appropriate following distance according to the drainage performance of the tires.

In addition to the distance control of braking, driving in rainy days should also avoid sudden acceleration and rapid cornering. Because the poor grip of tires in rainy days will greatly reduce the cornering limit and acceleration performance of vehicles, the throttle and steering should be as gentle as possible when driving in rainy days.

03, low grade, overflow water

As the saying goes, "faster than sand, slower than water", this is the experience of old drivers, that is to say, when crossing the water, you should be slow. When it is confirmed that the wading depth will not affect the flameout of the vehicle, wading should be slow and even. In this way, the water ripples pushed up will not enter the air inlet and cause flameout. It is also beneficial to adjust the direction and control the speed as soon as possible when wading.

In addition, when crossing deep water, try to switch to manual mode or wading mode, and try to control the gear position in the second gear. In this way, not only can there be enough torque to wade, but also the speed of the second gear is within the speed range of wading. Too low or too high will affect the fluency of wading.

It is safer to wade behind the cart.

Because deep wading may cause water to enter the engine air intake system, many old drivers try not to let the air intake grille touch the water. Then, it is a good choice to follow large vehicles such as buses. After the bus wades, it will push water in front and form a shallow water surface behind it. If the car wades behind the bus, it will greatly reduce the possibility of water entering the air intake system.

05. Try to avoid driving near the roadside.

In rainstorm weather, roadside drainage wells may lack manhole covers. In order to speed up drainage, or the manhole cover is damaged. There will be more uncertainty on the roadside with stagnant water. So try to drive in the middle of the road and the lane in front of it, and reduce driving near the roadside.

In addition, in addition to security factors. Roadside is generally a drainage place, and there will be more water accumulation. If the speed is fast, the spray is likely to splash on pedestrians, which is not only uncivilized, but also easy to cause personal or property losses to others.

Some cities in China have been hit by heavy rain, which not only makes public transportation more difficult, but also makes many drivers afraid to drive. But as long as you pay attention to the precautions and driving skills in heavy rain, you can easily cope with the less complicated road environment.
