How to ensure safety when driving at high speed in sudden rainstorm? Traffic police: The following five steps, step by step!

Now it has officially entered summer and the temperature is getting higher and higher. In summer, it often rains suddenly when driving. If it rains heavily on ordinary roads, you can slow down and drive in an orderly manner. But what if it suddenly rains while driving in expressway? Maybe at that time, many novice drivers were in a panic, because expressway was too fast to slow down or even stop directly, so I wanted to ask: How can expressway ensure its own safety when it suddenly encounters a rainstorm?

Turn on the wiper in step 1, because it is raining heavily, and the rain keeps hitting our front windshield, so we can't see the road ahead at all, so the method of 1 must be to turn on the wiper and turn the frequency to the maximum. Wipers can clean the rain from our windows in a short time, and we can see the route as soon as possible. Here, I also want to talk to you about the maintenance of wiper. If you don't maintain the wiper for a long time, you may find that the wiper suddenly breaks down in heavy rain. At this time, the trouble is big. When it's okay, check the condition of the wiper. If you find that it is about to break down, you must quickly change it into a new one.

Step two, turn on the fog lights of the car. In case of rainstorm, many car owners will turn on the double flash in a panic, because they think that the double flash has stronger penetration ability and can protect their own safety. Actually, it's not. How to ensure safety when driving at high speed in sudden rainstorm? Traffic police: The following five steps, step by step! Some experts have done a set of experiments before. Under the same visibility, the penetration ability of fog lamps is better than that of traditional double flashing. Therefore, in case of rainstorm, don't turn on the double flash directly on the expressway, but turn on the fog lights on the car.

The third step is to turn on the air conditioner in the car. When it rains, fog may appear on the window glass because of the unbalanced temperature inside and outside the window. Once there is fog, it means that we can't check the road conditions in time, so the best way is to turn on the air conditioner in time to disperse the fog. Besides turning on the air conditioner, we can also make clever use of soapy water, because there is a special substance in soap, which can effectively prevent fog. You can check the weather forecast before going out, and if it rains, you can put soapy water on the window glass in advance.

Step 4: Reduce the speed and keep the distance between cars. Because the rainstorm is already very heavy at this time, everyone will definitely slow down. If we still drive at the original speed, we will probably hit other vehicles, so we should also learn from other car owners and reduce the speed in time. When slowing down, you should also keep a good distance from the front and rear cars, because other car owners also turn on the fog lights on their own cars, so it is easy to judge the position of others. Just keep a good distance according to the position where the fog lights are on. The farther you keep the distance, the more you can ensure the safety of both sides.

Step 5: Hold the steering wheel with both hands. When all the above four steps are completed, our last step is to hold the steering wheel tightly, then carefully check the surrounding car conditions and drive forward cautiously and orderly. Of course, you need to keep a cool head when you encounter anything. When you are calm, people will think of various ways to deal with it, but when you are nervous, your brain is blank and you can't think of any solution, let alone protect yourself. In case of rainstorm, we must try our best to follow the above five points in an orderly manner. Ok, that's all for today's article. When driving on the expressway, did you suddenly encounter a heavy rain? How did you drive at that time?
