What should I do if I suddenly encounter heavy rain when driving at high speed? Old driver: Keep calm. The following five tricks can save your life!

Nowadays, more and more people buy cars. Everyone has to buy a car to get on the road, so there are more and more drivers on the road. But the road system is always changing, and the driving environment is also changing suddenly. Anyway, driving is definitely the most important thing. Security is not guaranteed, and everything is in vain.

What we are going to talk about today is closely related to our driving, that is, we were suddenly caught in a heavy rain while driving. When summer comes, the weather is always unpredictable and changeable. We know that extreme weather, especially heavy rain, is very common in summer. If we encounter heavy rain while driving, the driving experience will be greatly affected and the safety will be threatened. It's ok in the city, but it's even more dangerous on the highway. Generally, the driving speed is relatively fast, and it is easier to slip when it rains heavily, which has a very serious impact on driving safety.

So what should I do if I encounter a sudden rainstorm while driving on the expressway? Bian Xiao would like to remind everyone to remember the following five steps to ensure safe driving in rainy days. What should I do if I suddenly encounter a rainstorm when driving on the expressway? Old driver: Keep calm. The following five tricks can save your life! The first thing is to face it calmly and hold the steering wheel tightly. Hold the steering wheel tightly no matter what happens, especially when the sudden heavy rain makes the road slippery. Some old drivers are very confident in their driving skills, so they often leave the steering wheel with their hands. But in this case, in order to avoid the car getting out of control, Bian Xiao suggested that everyone must hold the steering wheel tightly and then slow down slowly. Don't try to get off the highway and drive too fast. It's very dangerous.

Secondly, we need to turn on the headlights, because we know that once it rains heavily, the sky will definitely be overcast and turbid, and then the sky will darken immediately, the sun will be dim and the rain curtain will be large, so it is difficult for us to see the road ahead. At this time, you must turn on the headlights of the car to ensure the line of sight.

Thirdly, we need to turn on the air conditioner inside the car quickly, because once it rains, the temperature outside the car will definitely drop immediately. At this time, there will be a considerable temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, and then a thick layer of fog will form on the window, which will affect our sight. So even if the air conditioner is turned on and the temperature difference between inside and outside is balanced, fog can be formed.

The fourth thing we need to do is not to slam on the brakes, because it is inevitable that there will be water on the road during heavy rain. Once passing through the stagnant water area, the car will slip and probably float out directly. So the best way is to slow down, then drive slowly and smoothly, while keeping the distance between the front and rear cars, and never rear-end.

Finally, find the service area or get off the expressway as soon as possible. Because no matter how much we pay attention to the rainstorm, it is still dangerous to continue driving. At this time, we should find a place to stay as soon as possible and make a short stay. Rainstorms in summer generally come and go quickly, and it is not too late to wait until the rain clears. In short, in case of rainstorm, don't panic, keep calm and safety first.
