Precautions for driving in hot weather

Safe company

Driving out in hot summer is a great challenge for drivers. Hot weather makes people prone to negative emotions and irritability, and cars are prone to various safety hazards in hot weather, which greatly increases the probability of accidents. Therefore, when driving in summer, everyone should pay attention to controlling their emotions and cooling down scientifically in summer. Even in hot weather, they should keep good driving habits.

Before entering the car, open the window for ventilation.

Don't turn on the air conditioner before entering the exposure car. You should put down all the windows or open the door to ventilate first. Then, start the engine, turn on the air conditioner, adjust the mode to external circulation, and leave the window open. Remember that it will last for a few minutes. Or when parking, the glass of the four windows can be lowered by 2~3 cm, and the windows with gaps can dissipate heat. If it's not troublesome, you can also use a sunshade curtain or a sunshade car cover, which can reduce the temperature inside the car from 8℃ to 10℃.

It is not advisable to turn on the air conditioner for a long time.

Vehicles equipped with air conditioning have better sealing performance. When the windows are closed and the air conditioner is turned on for a long time, the carbon dioxide exhaled by people and the carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion of gasoline will drastically reduce the oxygen in the car. If you stay in this environment for several hours, you will feel dizzy and tired. On the other hand, using the air conditioner for a long time after getting on the bus will make the condenser pressure too high and cause losses to the refrigeration system. If the temperature inside the car has reached a comfortable temperature, you can turn off the air conditioner first and then turn it on later. In addition, when the car is idling, it is best not to turn on the air conditioner for a long time, let alone sleep in the car, which may be dangerous.

Pay attention to the high engine temperature.

Strong sunlight will directly "boil" the engine of a car. If you find the car "boiling" while driving, Fuqing traffic police advise you not to turn off the engine or add coolant immediately; It is best to stop in a cool place to cool down, let the engine run at idle speed and lift the hood to dissipate heat.

Never drive in slippers.

In hot weather, many drivers even like to put on slippers to drive, which is convenient and cool. "It's dangerous to drive with slippers, which is against the traffic rules." Slippers are easily caught by brake pads and leave the soles of their feet. If slippers slip easily when stepping on the accelerator or braking, it is likely to delay the braking opportunity and lead to traffic accidents. The best way is to prepare a pair of flat shoes in the trunk of the car, wear them when driving, and then change them after getting off the bus.

Wear light sunglasses when driving.

"Because of the direct sunlight in summer, strong light is easy to make people blind, and many drivers like to wear sunglasses to drive." You can wear sunglasses, but choose light-colored sunglasses. The dark color of sunglasses will delay the time for eyes to send images to the brain, leading to "poor vision" and "vision error", especially when encountering traffic lights and entering darkness from bright places. This visual delay will also distort the sense of speed and distance, which will make drivers wearing sunglasses make wrong judgments. In an emergency, they will not respond in time, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

fatigue driving

Taking a nap while driving is the most taboo thing, especially in the afternoon summer. It is easy to doze off while driving, which will lead to the phenomenon of "high temperature hypnosis" and make it impossible to estimate the safe driving distance correctly. Adequate sleep is the only way to prevent fatigue driving. If you feel tired during driving, you'd better find a safe place to stop and have a rest at once.

be popular

Hot weather can always arouse people's "anger" in minutes. If you meet people who don't obey the traffic rules, it is estimated that people with a big temper will immediately commit "road rage". When driving in high temperature, learn to control your emotions. It is not safe to drive when the mood swings are too great.
