What should I do if I can't escape the sudden heavy rainfall? All the dry goods for safe driving in stormy weather are here.

Affected by the southeast monsoon, during the critical period of flood control in June and July every year, heavy rainfall generally occurs all over the country. As an office worker, have you ever experienced the feeling of "driving an assault boat" on land? Let me take a look at it today and tell you what we should do when it suddenly rains heavily during commuting.

Recently, the continuous heavy rain all over the country can not help but make people sad and happy. The joy is that the continuous sultry heat is finally over, and the sadness is more prominent during the trip. Take Beijing as an example. Perhaps the rain can "suppress" a sweat in the crowded subway, but the sudden rainstorm often brings a lot of trouble to office workers who commute every day. Similarly, compared with public transportation, rainfall has also brought many security troubles to friends who drive to and from work, especially when driving at high speed, people are often caught off guard by sudden heavy rain.

Six tips for driving in a rainstorm can help you avoid 90% safety accidents.

Slow down: Maybe I've heard the old driver say, "Ten accidents are nine times faster". This unchanging conclusion applies not only to working days, but also to driving in rainy days. After all, under heavy rain, the braking system of the vehicle will become slippery, and the braking distance will double than usual. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the speed reasonably to ensure a sufficient safe distance from the preceding vehicle and avoid rear-end collision caused by braking distance.

Observe more: As we all know, the sight of driving in rainy days is often limited, especially in heavy rain, even if the wiper is turned to the maximum, the sight is sometimes unclear, and the rearview mirror exposed outside can't clear the rain in time. Therefore, we should not only carefully observe the vehicle dynamics and road conditions in front, but also observe the situation of the rear car from the rearview mirror.

Walk slowly: As the saying goes, "Walk fast with sand, walk slowly with water", and it is inevitable that roads will run into stagnant water sections on rainy days. Don't trust the "tightness" of the vehicle too much. Be careful when you run into the waterlogged road. Maybe an invisible manhole cover will make you "soak" in the water. If the engine is turned off at this time, don't start the engine again to avoid water.

Daily inspection: Good driving habits are inseparable from the daily maintenance of vehicles. In rainy days, wipers are undoubtedly an important protection tool. Because the wiper is a fragile rubber product, it will fail all the year round and lose its glass cleaning ability, which will greatly affect safe driving in heavy rain. In addition, when the vehicle is driving, the muddy water thrown up by the preceding vehicle will also interfere with normal driving, so it is necessary to replenish glass water in time to avoid this situation.

What should I do if I can't stop when I am driving at high speed in a sudden rainstorm? Knowing this will not "capsize"

Proper use of lighting: Visibility will be low when rainstorm strikes, and some people are used to "double flashing", which is absolutely incorrect, especially when driving in expressway. As we all know, the scientific name of double flashing is "danger warning light", which is suitable for roadside parking or accident. If all vehicles turn on double flashing at high speed, it will send an error message to the surrounding vehicles, leading to danger. In fact, the correct way is very simple, turn on the front/rear fog lights, because the penetration ability of fog lights is higher than other lights.

Hold the steering wheel tightly: driving in a rainstorm will inevitably encounter low-lying water sections. Because of the high speed, the accumulated water will make some cars with small weight produce a lateral force, which will lead to the side slip of the car. Then when driving in a rainstorm, always hold the steering wheel tightly to ensure the direction of the vehicle. This is my personal experience. Let me share it with you.

Stay away from big trucks: It is well understood that the high line of sight of the big truck body itself has blind spots. If it slips, it will inevitably rub against the passenger car. If the big truck rolls over, the surrounding passenger cars obviously can't escape, so you must stay away from the big truck in rainy days.

Don't merge dangerously: It's also the interference of heavy rain on the line of sight. You need to keep a lane as much as possible to reduce unnecessary overtaking. After all, overtaking needs to increase speed, and the disturbed sight will make the driver unable to correctly judge the safe distance after changing lanes, thus causing a rear-end collision.

Parking in the emergency lane is more dangerous: some people may think that since the line of sight is not clear, just park in the emergency lane under the bridge and wait for the rain to stop. Not to mention that illegal parking in the emergency lane will result in a 6-point 200 yuan fine. Parking in expressway itself is very risky, not to mention that in rainy days, it is easy to cause safety accidents because of drivers who like to take emergency lanes or motorcycle drivers who take shelter from the rain together.

Write to the end:

In short, when driving in rainy and rainstorm weather, you must drive carefully, pay attention to the road information in advance, and try to choose public transportation. Friends in mountainous areas should always pay attention to the mountain conditions, and mudslides often occur at this time. Of course, if the expressway encounters heavy rain, my suggestion is to choose a nearby service area for a short stay.
