What precautions should I know in typhoon days?

According to the news released by the Central Meteorological Observatory, this year's No.1 14 typhoon "Kappa" entered the eastern South China Sea this morning, and gradually approached the coastal areas of central and western Guangdong. It will land in the coastal areas as deep as Yangjiang in Guangdong at noon tomorrow, and the affected area basically overlaps with "Tian Ge".

"Kappa" mainly has the following characteristics: First, the waves have a wide influence; Second, the storm surge has a great impact; Third, the forecast landing site is unfavorable, and the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary is prone to disaster superposition; Fourth, the rainfall range is wide and the intensity is large. There may be heavy rain in parts of central and western Guangdong, which may induce mountain torrents and geological disasters locally.

Before the arrival of Kappa, the general public and drivers should pay attention to the following matters:

Slow down and pay attention to pedestrians.

Typhoon weather is often accompanied by heavy rainfall, which limits the vision, hearing and reaction of pedestrians and cyclists on the road. When the vehicle approaches, it is easy to panic and slip, which makes the driver unprepared. In this case, it is necessary to control the speed, drive slowly at a constant speed, and never rush with pedestrians or cyclists to prevent collisions.

Prevent wheel sideslip

When driving in the rain, "lubricant" is formed between the rain on the road surface and the tires, which makes the braking performance of the car worse and easy to slip. At this time, you should hold the steering wheel with both hands in balance and keep driving at a low speed in a straight line; When you need to turn, step on the brakes slowly to prevent the vehicle from slipping due to tire lock. When the front wheel slips, correct the direction in the opposite direction of the slip; When the rear wheel slips, correct the direction to the slipping side, and never hit the opposite direction.

Stay away from this mountain

The rainstorm carried by typhoon is easy to cause geological disasters such as landslides and mudslides, resulting in casualties. Therefore, disaster-prone areas in mountainous areas and areas where high-intensity rainstorms have occurred should be vigilant and evacuated in time.

Cars don't stop under trees, beside billboards and in low-lying places.

Always pay attention to the road information reminder

When driving in expressway, you should pay attention to the information reminder of the display screen of the large overpass on expressway and the electronic display screen on the vehicles patrolled by the traffic police. When driving, strictly control the speed and keep the distance from the vehicle in front more than twice as usual.

Pay attention to the crosswind

Expressway is generally high in terrain, the surrounding environment is relatively empty, and the wind force is greater than that of ordinary highways, especially viaducts, sections near mountains and cliffs, and sections near rivers, lakes and other tunnels. It is best not to brake forcibly when encountering crosswind. At this time, you should lightly step on the accelerator and then brake, with the wind, and adjust the direction slightly.

Do not overtake or change lanes at will.

The heavy rainfall brought by the typhoon will make the road slippery. When driving, you should control the speed, keep the necessary safe distance, don't overtake or change lanes at will, and don't slam on the brakes or the steering wheel to avoid accidents such as collision and rear-end collision.

Pay attention to warning with lights.

When it rains heavily, be sure to use the lights of vehicles to warn other vehicles.

When the visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights and front and rear position lights, the speed shall not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and keep a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front of the same lane;

When the visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights and hazard warning flashlights, and the speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and keep a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle in front of the same lane;

When the visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights and hazard warning flashlights, and the speed shall not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. Leave expressway from the nearest exit as soon as possible.
