The Jinchang Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning signal for thunder and lightning at 12:10 on June 30: It is expected that from noon to night today, there will be thunder and lightning activities in our city, accompanied by thundershowers and gusty winds, and short-term heavy precipitation locally.
The first and second brigades of the highway of the traffic police detachment of the Jinchang Municipal Public Security Bureau remind the majority of drivers to grasp the weather changes and real-time road condition information in advance when traveling, drive cautiously when traveling, slow down and slow down, always pay attention to the movements of other people and vehicles on the road, and take precautions in advance to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
Three treasures for driving on rainy days
"Slowdown, Distance, Tail"
Speed reduction is a prerequisite for safety!
Distance control is the foundation of safety!
Bright tail is a guarantee of safety!
After rainfall, due to the slippery road, the adhesion between the vehicle tires and the ground will be reduced, and the braking distance of the vehicle will increase; At the same time, coupled with factors such as the impact of line of sight, if the driver is slightly careless during driving, the risk of accidents such as runaway vehicle sliding and rear-end collision will increase, especially in highways, bridges, downhill and other road sections, the vehicle is more prone to "hydroplaning" phenomenon in the state of high-speed driving.
☛ The vehicle's tires skidded and collided with the central barrier and caused a loss of control.
☛ The road was slippery in the rain, and the two cars slid out of control at the bend of the bridge.
☛ The bus lost control on the slippery road and was shocked to see a "serpentine position".
☛ Tips for traveling in rainy weather:
◆ Drive slowly and keep a distance between vehicles. When driving in rainy weather, remember to slow down and keep an effective braking distance from the vehicle in front.
◆ Slow apply the brakes. When driving in rainy weather, avoid slamming on the brakes, and choose to brake by stepping on and downshifting.
◆ Turn slowly. In rainy days, the friction of the road surface is greatly reduced, reduce the speed in advance when turning, slow down the direction, and then slowly accelerate after the corner.
◆ Turn on ABS and EPS functions. When driving in rainy weather, turn on the vehicle's ABS (anti-lock braking system) and EPS (electric steering system) functions, which can greatly help you control the balance and direction of the vehicle.
◆ Countermeasures against uncontrolled skidding. Once the vehicle is out of control and skidding, you should immediately release the brakes, turn the steering wheel in a small way in the direction of the offset, and then gently step on the brakes and brake slowly after the direction of the body is corrected.
