How to drive safely in the weather of "ice and fire"

The weather in recent days can be said to be ice and fire. On June 7, high temperature weather above 35℃ occurred in southeastern Inner Mongolia, southwestern Shanxi and central and southern Hebei. In some areas, it can reach about 37-40℃. This has just entered June. At the same time, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan and other regions have been hit by heavy rains and heavy rains, and roads have accumulated serious water.

On June 8, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a high-temperature orange warning: during the day on June 8, the highest temperature in central and western Shandong, western Liaoning, central and eastern Henan and northern Henan could reach 35-36 C. According to the precipitation forecast for the next three days issued by the Central Meteorological Observatory, there will be a large-scale precipitation in China, and this heavy precipitation will still be concentrated in Jiangnan, South China and other regions, and it will last for a long time. In this season of frequent strong convective weather, high temperature and heavy rain appear alternately, which will bring very adverse effects to our daily travel. Therefore, we should not only learn more common sense of driving safety in rainy days, but also basically master how to save ourselves when passing through roads with serious water accumulation and being trapped on roads with water accumulation!

Safe driving in rainy days

1.？ No matter whether the weather is good or not, you must check and observe whether the wiper of your car can work normally and scrape off the rain normally in summer.

2.？ As we all know, the front windshield is prone to fog in summer because of the temperature, which is a common occurrence. If the window fogs during driving, you can adjust the air outlet mode to defog mode, and turn on the cold air or warm air of the air conditioner to disperse the fog according to the actual situation. However, it should be noted that the fog will be thicker in the early stage of warm air defogging. Be sure to choose a safe place to park safely before defogging, and then drive on the road when the field of vision is completely clear!

3.？ Be sure to use the lights correctly. In case of heavy rain, visibility will be reduced. That's why we should turn on the front lights, position lights and rear taillights immediately, not only for lighting, but also to let other drivers notice your presence and protect themselves. Also, when the vehicle driving in the same direction is close to the vehicle driving at close range, you must not use the high beam!

4.？ When driving in rainy days, the speed must be slow. Remember not to make sharp turns and sharp turns. It's easy to slip and roll over in rainy days, so don't brake suddenly. Rainy weather will lead to a long braking distance. While keeping a safe distance from the car in front, you must slow down and stop suddenly!

Safe passage through the stagnant water section

1.？ When driving through the waterlogged pavement, observe the depth of the waterlogged pavement in advance. For bridges, culverts and other roads, water depth scales are usually marked. If the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire at this time, it will be dangerous to drive in the water. Try to bypass!

2.？ Be careful not to stop, shift gears or loosen the throttle when driving on wading roads. At this time, you should pass through the low gear at a constant speed. If flameout occurs during wading, it must not be started again!

How to save yourself from the stagnant road surface?

1.？ For the first time, you must try to open the door first. If the door can be opened at this time, you can escape quickly. However, it should be noted that most of the doors are now electronically controlled. Once the car loses power, the door will naturally lock. Therefore, when the car falls into the water, the central lock should be opened as soon as possible to prevent the door from being locked due to power failure!

2.？ If the door cannot be opened normally during the process, it is necessary to decisively lower the window and bring water into the car through the window. When the internal and external water pressures are consistent, the door can be easily opened. Even if you can't open the door because of power failure, you can escape quickly through the window at this time!

If the doors and windows can't be opened normally, you must decisively choose broken windows!

Try to break the window with tools such as safety hammer and window breaker; In order to protect yourself from being scratched by a broken window, you must wrap your skin with clothes, especially your face and head. Be sure to break the side window, don't try to break the front windshield, because the front windshield is double-layered and not easy to break!

With the coming of summer, high temperature and heavy rain will soon become a "routine", reminding drivers to prepare for vehicle safety inspection before going out in summer; Don't put a magnifying glass, perfume bottle, lighter and other inflammable and explosive articles in the car! According to your actual situation, prepare safety equipment such as safety hammer and sunshade in the car, observe traffic rules during driving and travel in a civilized way!
