What are the seven points for attention when driving in dusty weather?

The dusty weather caused by sandstorm in spring seriously affects people's normal travel, especially brings many safety hazards to driving safety. The traffic control department pointed out that to reduce traffic accidents in dusty weather, drivers should pay attention to seven things:

(1) Sandstorms make the sky yellow-gray, dim light and reduce visibility. Drivers should not wear colored glasses when driving.

(2) Due to the reduced visibility in dusty weather, drivers should turn on fog lights, anti-glare low beam lights, position lights and front and rear position lights. When the visibility 100 ~ 200m, the vehicle speed should be controlled within 40km/h and below 30km/h at night. ..

(3) Strictly implement the principle of going your own way, because it is difficult to see distant objects when driving in dusty weather, and it is easy to scrape or collide when driving in the driveway. It is also necessary to increase the distance from the car in front, reduce the speed, do not frequently merge lines or change lanes, turn on the turn signal in advance when changing lanes, and observe the dynamics of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles.

(4) The dusty weather will be accompanied by yellow-gray rainfall, and the front windshield and window of the vehicle will be blocked by mud, which will affect the driver's sight. At this time, the driver should wipe off the sand or dust on the glass in time, or turn on the glass spray switch and wiper for cleaning.

(5) Pay attention to the muddy water on the road when driving. Due to the reduction of road friction, tires are easy to slip, and it is difficult to stop in distress. If the rain is too heavy, stop and wait for the rain to stop.

(6) Stop without slipping. Buildings and outdoor advertisements often collapse due to windy weather, so park away from buildings, advertisements and dead trees.

(7) Large trucks should be avoided. When a car overtakes a container truck, pay attention to the crosswind generated by a large truck, and never make a sharp turn.
