What precautions should be taken when driving in rainy and foggy weather?
1. Driving in rainy days.
On rainy days, due to poor road conditions, low visibility, and abnormal traffic behavior of vehicles and pedestrians, it brings many difficulties to safe driving.
1. When the vehicle encounters an imminent rain while driving, the wipers should be checked in time, the loaded materials should be protected from moisture, the ignition system should be protected from moisture, and the brakes should be tested to see if there is any deviation.
2. When driving a vehicle on a rainy day, you must be highly concentrated, observe carefully, drive carefully, operate parts (including the steering wheel, clutch, brake, accelerator pedal) gently and slowly, and strictly control the speed of the vehicle. , be mentally prepared for anti-skid operations.
3. When encountering heavy rain or hail and unclear vision, do not risk driving. You should choose a safe location to park and turn on your wide-angle lights to attract the attention of oncoming vehicles.
4. When encountering water on the road, you should drive slowly, give way to pedestrians, and do not pass at high speed to prevent sewage from splashing and people and vehicles from hydroplaning out of control, and ensure driving safety.
5. If it rains for a long time or heavy rain, pay attention to loose roadbed and possible landslides, and choose safe roads to drive on. It is not advisable to pull over or park on mountain roads, embankment roads or along rivers.
6. If you pass through deep water, the water will enter the brake drum, making the braking effect worse, so avoid passing through deep water.
7. When driving in the rain, you should honk your horn frequently to attract the attention of pedestrians.
2. Driving in foggy weather.
1. Keep enough driving distance. In foggy days, due to the short sight distance, the driving force is low. Sometimes the road surface is slippery due to fog, the braking performance is reduced, and the vehicle is prone to sideslip, so sufficient driving distance must be maintained.
2. Turn on the anti-fog lights or the rear fog signal light to indicate the target. If the car does not turn on the anti-fog lights in foggy weather, it will be difficult for pedestrians or other vehicles to detect you. In addition, you cannot turn on the high beam, because the high beam light is strong and will be reflected by the fog into the driver's eyes, making the vision blurred.
3. Strictly abide by traffic rules, drive at the speed limit, overtaking and jostling are strictly prohibited, and never drive fast. At this time, the humidity is high in foggy days, and water vapor can easily condense on the surface of the windshield, causing unclear vision. It is very easy to cause an accident when driving fast. The greater the fog, the shorter the visual distance, and the lower your speed must be.
4. Sound the whistle at the right time. Warn pedestrians and vehicles in advance. If you hear another car honking, you should also honk in response so that you are aware of it.
5. If you find that the car behind you is too close to you, you can tap the brakes a few times to light up the brake lights to remind the car behind you to keep an appropriate distance.
