Precautions in rainy weather

Safety precautions for driving in rainy weather:

First, inspect the vehicle carefully. Before getting out of the car, you should carefully check the safety and technical condition of the vehicle, especially the vehicle brakes, lights and wipers. Make sure that the vehicle lights, windshield wipers (wipers) and braking devices are all in good technical condition to prepare for an accident. Cope with emergencies. At the same time, check whether the tires have enough air pressure to drain away rainwater on the road to prevent the tires from sliding while the vehicle is driving;

Second, the driving speed must be strictly controlled. Nine out of ten accidents happen quickly. When driving, you must strictly control the speed and keep driving at a low speed. If the speed is too fast, it is easy to cause a rear-end collision or even rollover in an emergency. At the same time, drive strictly in the prescribed lanes and avoid frequent lane changes;

Third, increase the driving distance between vehicles. On rainy days, vision is poor and visibility is low, which reduces the driver's reaction sensitivity. The water mist brought by the vehicle in front may blur the vision of the driver behind the vehicle. When driving on rainy days, you should extend the following distance so that there is enough emergency distance and time when an emergency occurs in the vehicle ahead. When using the brakes, do not apply the brakes hard, but slowly and gently to prevent the vehicle from skidding and overturning. Don't overtake blindly.

Fourth, we must put an end to fatigue driving. When driving on a rainy day, the driver's attention is highly concentrated, especially the optic nerve center, which does not dare to relax for a moment, which can easily cause fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure sufficient rest time and never drive tired for a long time.

The fifth important thing is not to occupy the emergency lane. When encountering traffic jams on the highway, never illegally occupy the emergency lane to ensure that all types of rescue and emergency response vehicles can pass smoothly.

Sixth, prepare winter clothing for your vehicle. When driving in winter, you must protect your vehicle from cold and warmth, especially in areas with lower temperatures and long-distance travel. You must prepare "winter clothing" for your vehicle: anti-skid chains, triangular blocks, thermal insulation covers, or blowtorches. Diesel vehicles should be replaced with winter diesel to prevent fuel from freezing.

Seventh, pay attention to pedestrians on the road. In winter, especially in rainy, snowy and foggy days, pedestrians and cyclists wear more clothes and cover their clothes tightly, and are slower to respond to the sound of vehicle horns. At the same time, the color of their clothes is dull, not eye-catching, and difficult to attract attention. Drivers must maintain a safe speed and pay attention to pedestrians.
