What should you pay attention to when driving in hot weather?
When driving in hot weather, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Do not wear sunglasses that are too dark. The dark color of sunglasses can delay the time for the eyes to send images to the brain. This kind of The visual delay in turn causes distortion in the perception of speed, causing drivers wearing sunglasses to make incorrect judgments. Studies have shown that dark sunglasses can extend a driver's response time to an emergency by 100 milliseconds and increase the emergency braking distance by 2.2 meters.
2. Don’t drive while fatigued. The temperature is high in summer and it is easy to get tired and doze off. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain enough sleep time to ensure that you are energetic. If you feel sleepy while driving, you should stop in time, take a proper rest, and then continue driving when your mind is clear.
3. Prepare drinking water and water in water tanks. By preparing the necessary water, the driver can avoid being irritable and anxious due to lack of water on the way. Keep enough water in the car and prevent the vehicle from traveling at high speed. A high temperature failure occurred while driving.
4. Fire extinguishers and triangular warning signs should be placed in the car. In hot weather, the vehicle may spontaneously ignite or have other fires. Fire extinguishers can be used at any time. At the same time, if an accident occurs, be sure to call the fire extinguisher immediately. Warning signs are placed 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic to prevent serial accidents.
5. Beware of spontaneous car combustion and tire blowouts. Generally speaking, car spontaneous combustion is related to aging circuits and oil leakage. Therefore, in the summer, you should pay attention to check whether the high and low voltage circuits of the vehicle are short-circuited or aged. Oil leakage Whether there is oil leakage on the road, etc., daily maintenance of the car is the key, and maintenance must be done frequently. At the same time, tire blowout is also a potential traffic safety hazard. As the air temperature and road surface temperature gradually increase, the tire pressure can easily rise during high-speed or long-distance driving, causing a tire blowout. Therefore, you need to pay more attention to tire pressure in summer and choose appropriate tires. Pressure the car.
