Nanjing, Jiangsu Province issued a blue rainstorm warning. What safety issues should I pay attention to when driving in rainstorm weather?

Try not to go out, heavy rain may lead to landslides, so it is safest not to go out. For many people, these two years are undoubtedly very helpless and painful, because of the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, many uncontrollable phenomena have appeared frequently. Recently, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province issued a blue rainstorm warning, which safety issues should be paid attention to when driving in rainstorm weather. This news has attracted the attention of many friends and even surprised many people. After learning the news, many friends speculated. Besides the above explanation, are there any other explanations?

As an old driver, after learning that there is a rainstorm, it is best to find a place to stop and shelter from the rain, and avoid the overpass that is easy to accumulate water when driving, because when encountering a rainstorm, you must turn on the hands of the car. If the road surface is covered with water, when the water reaches the ground or the exhaust pipe in the car or exceeds the center line of the tire, the engine should be put out for fire rescue, and attention should also be paid to the protection of electrical components in the engine room. After all, driving in heavy rain is a very dangerous and normal thing.

Any wading should be slow, and special attention should be paid to protecting the engine of the vehicle, because after the vehicle is soaked, water enters the engine under the action of high temperature, which will accelerate the corrosion of motor parts inside the engine, and the water entering the engine is too easy to be deformed or even scrapped. In addition, excessive water entering the vehicle may endanger the electrical appliances of the vehicle, resulting in the failure or damage of the electronic control system.

When the car is driving in the water, you should also pay attention to keeping one or two gears, and don't turn the gears from high to low. In addition, don't step on the accelerator hard to make the engine load surge for a short time, otherwise it will increase the water resistance and the tire will slip. It is also possible that the engine intake surge absorbs water, because the ignition will be turned off immediately if the water level is too high, so don't start it again.

The above questions are my personal thoughts. If you have other ideas, you can comment or discuss them below.
