Driving at night is less common and stable than during the day due to poor line of sight, so it is challenging for novice friends.
In particular, the judgment of the distance of the rear car is not accurate, the timing of the lane change is not accurate, and the lane change is not dare.
So when driving at night, how to judge the distance behind the car and grasp the timing of lane change?
Today, I will help you find the judgment method and grasp the timing of the lane change through a recorded explanation of night driving.
First of all, let's take a look at the image change of the rear car from far and near in the rearview mirror when overtaking: now in the road driving, looking at the right rearview mirror will find that the lights appear in the distant horizon of the rearview mirror.
The light is intertwined, you can't see that a few lights of several cars are shining, which means that they are still in the distance, at this time if you change lanes without any concerns, even if I am slower now, it will take some time for the rear car to catch up.
I am now driving slowly, due to the fast speed of the rear car, so the distance is gradually approaching, and now you can see the silhouette of the vehicle behind it with two lights, the outline is still relatively large,
This also shows that the light I saw was still relatively scattered, according to which it could be judged that the distance between 150 and 200 meters,
In this state, it also takes some time for the rear car to catch up, and you can safely change lanes to the right.
Continue to walk forward to pay attention to the change of the rear car in the right rearview mirror, now the rearview mirror has clearly seen the outline of the vehicle, is a car, its left and right headlights have been clearly visible,
The body between the two headlights can also be seen, while the vehicle behind it can only see the outline of the two lights.
Explain that the car behind it is about 150 meters away from me and it is about 50 meters away from me.
Can I change lanes at this point? This depends on the situation, if my speed is faster than the rear car, and there is no obstacle in front of the right lane, it is still possible to change lanes.
But my current situation is that I am slower than the rear car, and I am being chased closer and closer by the rear car, so that if I change lanes, I am in danger of being rear-ended. Sure enough, less than four seconds later, the taxi caught up with me.
Let's take a look at how the state of overtaking in the rear vehicle is judged. Through the indoor rearview mirror can see that there is a vehicle in the rear at close range, the indoor rearview mirror looks like the effect is relatively close, through the right rearview mirror vaguely see that there is a car following behind,
When you can't see the rear headlights, it means it's directly behind your car, and now you see that there is a headlight in the rear car that comes out of the rear of my car.
This shows that it is going to change lanes or change lanes in the right direction to overtake,
Soon both headlights of the rear car appeared in the rearview mirror, which indicated that the rear car had begun to change lanes and had left the state of following you vertically.
Then the rear car moves from the left side of your rearview mirror to the right,
Before it moves to the middle of my rearview mirror, I can change lanes to the right as long as we are at equal speeds, but my speed is currently slower than in the rear, so I can't change lanes. The rear car image grew larger and larger, feeling coming from the depths of the rearview mirror and continuing to move to the right, finally catching up and overtaking my car.
I was now preparing to change lanes, looking in the right rearview mirror and out of the right car window, I saw that a car was changing lanes to the right to prepare to overtake.
The two headlights are clear left and right, you can see the body between the two headlights, although it is now the inner body position of my rearview mirror, but it has accelerated because it wants to overtake, my speed is not fast, I need to let it go first. After giving way to the back of the car, hit the right turn light to observe the right rearview mirror, and there is a car driving behind, but at present, only two headlights can not see the car body,
Or that you can't see the body between the two headlights, indicating that the distance is still relatively far, you can change lanes to the right, you can see in the rearview mirror that the rear car is very fast, after seeing me change lanes, it has a significant deceleration action, but I give him a reaction distance and time enough, so it is still relatively safe.
Next, I will demonstrate the lane change after accelerating overtaking. Now prepare to overtake the car in front, speed up and hit the right turn light to continue to maintain the speed state, observe that there is no obstacle in front of the overtaken vehicle,
When you see the left headlight of the vehicle on the right side appear in the right rearview mirror, you can start to change lanes to the right. But there are two particularly important prerequisites, the first is to be overtaken by the vehicle in front of the barrier-free;
The second is that I am speeding more than 10 kilometers per hour faster than the vehicle on the right, and the rear car is in a stable state of speed.
If you are a novice friend, it is best to wait until you see two headlights in the rearview mirror before changing lanes more steadily.
For novice friends, what you need to do to drive at night is to judge the distance through the perception of the lights, although it is not as intuitive and habitual as it is seen during the day, but as long as you pay attention to observation and use it according to the method demonstrated today, I believe that you will soon be able to easily judge the distance at night and grasp the safe timing of lane change.
