What should you pay attention to when driving in rainy weather! !

1. Pay attention to non-motorized vehicles on the right when meeting cars. Don’t rush when meeting cars at night, step on the brake pedal and turn the wheel to the right. Pay attention to pedestrians and bicycles on the right. When you are 150 meters away from the oncoming vehicle, you should change the high beam to low beam. This is both driving courtesy and a guarantee of driving safety. When encountering an opponent who refuses to switch to low beam, you should immediately slow down and signal the opponent by continuously switching between far and low beam. If the other party still does not change and feels that the light is too dazzling to distinguish the road surface, you should pull over and do not shine a bright light at the other party out of anger.

2. Control the vehicle speed

The traffic flow on the road at night is small, and there is relatively little interference from pedestrians and bicycles. Drivers are generally more likely to drive at high speeds, so traffic accidents are likely to occur. . When driving at night from bright to dark places, the eyes have a process of adaptation, so the vehicle speed must be reduced. When driving through curves, slopes, bridges, narrow roads and places where it is difficult to see clearly, the vehicle speed should be reduced and the brakes should be applied at all times. Or prepare for parking; when driving through busy streets, you must drive at a low speed because the neon lights and other lights affect the driver's vision; in case of rain, snow, fog and other bad weather, you must drive at a low speed. Drive carefully.

3. Increase the following distance

When drivers drive at night, their vision is not as wide as during the day, and they often encounter dangers and emergencies. To do this, the driver must be prepared to stop at any time. In this case, in order to avoid danger, attention should be paid to appropriately increasing the following distance to prevent collisions between front and rear vehicles.

4. Try to avoid overtaking

Before overtaking, check whether there are obstacles on the right side of the vehicle being overtaken, so as to avoid collision when the vehicle being overtaken turns to the left to avoid obstacles when overtaking. When it is necessary to overtake, you should continuously change the high and low lights in advance to inform the vehicle in front, and then overtake after it is confirmed that overtaking is possible.

5. Overcome driving fatigue

Driving at night, especially after midnight, is the most likely to cause fatigue and drowsiness. In addition, because driving at night cannot see the scenery on both sides of the road, it has little excitement for the driver. , so driving fatigue is most likely to occur. You can use the method of frequently changing the far and near lights. On the one hand, it can increase the attention of other vehicles, and on the other hand, it can also help reduce visual fatigue. If you are too tired, you should stop and rest instead of driving at night.

6. Accurately judge the road conditions

Generally speaking, if you feel that the vehicle speed is automatically slowing down and the engine sound becomes dull, it means that the driving resistance has increased, and the car may be driving uphill or uphill. On soft pavement. If you feel that the vehicle speed is automatically accelerating and the engine sound becomes brisk, it means that the resistance is reduced during driving and the car may be driving downhill. On moonless nights, the road surface is generally gray-black, and the outside of the road surface is completely black. Areas with puddles will appear lighter, while potholes will appear darker. Some experienced drivers have concluded that the key to driving at night is to "walk in gray and not in darkness." In addition, you need to accumulate experience in judging the terrain based on the changes in the headlight beams. If the light beam becomes shorter, it may be due to a curve or an uphill road; if the light beam becomes longer, it may be due to a downhill road; if there is a gap in the light beam, it may be due to potholes on the road.

7. Prepare emergency lights

In addition to preparing regular items such as spare tires, jacks, and wrenches when driving at night, you should also bring lighting equipment such as emergency lights and emergency parking warnings. Signs can create a safe area for your vehicle when emergency parking occurs.
