What should I pay attention to when driving in rainy days?

Recently, there have been different degrees of rainstorm in various parts of China, and airports around the country have been forced to delay or cancel flights. This result greatly affected people's travel, and many colleagues were stranded at the airport many times because of bad weather. This not only reminds people of a song called Rain in June: a rain trapped me here. ...

At the same time, with the arrival of summer rainstorm, the problem of driving also follows. For example, what lights should be turned on in rainy days? Why do you ask this question? Because we can often see some cars driving without lights in heavy rain. Moreover, those running lights are inconsistent, some only turn on headlights or only turn on double flashes, and few people see fog lights. So what kind of lights should I turn on under the bad road conditions of rain? Maybe I'm not happy to see some old drivers here. Can't you turn on the lights after driving for so many years? Don't worry, before that, let's popularize the basic knowledge of headlights, fog lights and double flashing.

headlight

Headlights, also known as automobile headlamps and automobile LED daytime running lights, as the eyes of a car, are not only related to the external image of the owner, but also closely related to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The main purpose is to illuminate and see the road ahead. Needless to say, this is understood by everyone in the automobile industry.

fog light

Fog lamps can be divided into front fog lamps and rear fog lamps. First of all, talk about the front fog lights. The function of the front fog lamp is not to illuminate, but to provide a high-brightness scattering light source. The intensity of this light source is to penetrate the dense fog and remind the opposite driver.

Let's talk about the rear fog lights. The function of the rear fog lamp is to make it easy for the driver behind the vehicle to find his car in the environment with low visibility such as fog, snow, rain or dust.

Generally speaking, fog lights play a warning role in order to let the opposite and rear vehicles find their existence.

Double flash

The full name of the double flash is the danger warning flash, and its function is to remind other vehicles and pedestrians with signal lights that something special has happened to this car.

Double flashing, as one of the signal lights of automobile tension, can remind other vehicles and reduce the danger if used accurately. In China, double flashing is strictly regulated, and points will be deducted as punishment. Generally speaking, double flashing is not allowed on national highways and urban roads if there is no accident.

After understanding the function of these lights, the automobile industry began to talk about "the right medicine" for all kinds of rainy weather.

What light is turned on when it rains heavily?

In rainstorm weather, the speed of rain may be faster than the working frequency of wiper, which will hinder the driving sight. At this time, it is necessary to turn on the front and rear fog lights, because the red taillight itself has very good penetration, and generally heavy rain can't stop its light. The vehicle behind sees the rear fog light, determine your position, and then keep the distance between the vehicles.

What light is turned on when it rains heavily?

When the rainfall is heavy, but it is not a thunderstorm, it is not necessary to turn on the rear fog lamp. Because the speed of rain will not be faster than the working frequency of the wiper like a rainstorm, the line of sight ahead is not completely blocked, but the line of sight ahead may be a little hazy. So at this time, as long as you turn on the headlights or front fog lights, you won't shake the front car.

What light should I turn on when it rains lightly?

Generally normal light rain, just like when it begins to rain, the rainfall is small, and when it is dark, the width light is turned on.

Why not turn on the double flash?

Before explaining this problem, let's talk about several uses of double flashing: first, you can use double flashing when parking temporarily on the road; Second, double flashing can be used when the vehicle has an accident or fault on the road; Three, the highway visibility due to weather is less than 100 meters can use double flash; Fourth, when towing a faulty vehicle, the tractor and the towed vehicle can use double flashing lights; Fifth, the fleet allowed by the transportation department can use double flashing.

Only one of the above five use cases can use double flashing because of the weather, and it is still limited to high speed. Therefore, it is best not to use double flashing on national highways and urban roads in rainy days (as mentioned above). In fact, the auto industry gossip thinks that driving with double flashing can be regarded as dangerous driving to a certain extent, because after driving with double flashing, it is difficult for the next car to judge your driving intention. If you want to stop temporarily, you can just turn on the right turn signal and turn on the double flash after the vehicle stops.

As mentioned earlier, the brightness of fog lights is higher than that of double flashes; However, many car owners mistakenly think that the flashing of double flashing is easier to remind other vehicles, which is actually a misunderstanding. The effect of double flashing in rainy days is not as good as that of fog lights.

The gossip in the car industry reminds drivers that if they encounter rainy and foggy weather in the future, they must use the lights correctly, drive safely and have a safe trip.
