Driving in a drizzle or downpour, especially on the highway, is undoubtedly a test of both driving skills and mental quality. On rainy days, slippery roads increase braking distances and obstruct vision, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Today, let's take a closer look at the taboos that can't be touched when driving at high speeds in rainy days, and make safe driving a motto for every driver.
1. Circuit inspection: A detailed inspection before departure is the first line of defense for driving in rainy days. Ensure that the vehicle circuit is not exposed, avoid short circuits caused by rain during high-speed driving, so that the car will not "strike" at critical moments.
2. Clear vision: The effectiveness of the wipers is directly related to the clarity of the driver's vision, so be sure to check the wipers before setting off to ensure that they can effectively remove rainwater from the windshield. At the same time, don't forget to wipe down the rear-view mirror, that's the eye behind you.
3. Brake Testing: The reliability of the braking system in rainy weather is crucial. Before setting off, the brakes are thoroughly tested to ensure that water ingress will not affect the braking performance, so that every light pedal can give sufficient safety guarantees.
4. Slow down with stagnant water: Don't be impatient when faced with waterlogged roads. Slow down to avoid splashing and blocking the view, and do not brake sharply to avoid losing control of the vehicle. Stabilizing the direction and moving forward smoothly is the wisdom of driving in rainy days.
5. Construction section: The line of sight is not good in rainy days, and the construction area is full of dangers. Slow down in advance, don't overtake at will, respect every warning sign, they are the patron saint of safety.
6. Changing lanes: Be more cautious when changing lanes in the rain. Carefully observe the surrounding traffic conditions through the rearview mirror and rearview mirror, ensure a safe distance before operating, and do not blindly change lanes, causing unnecessary danger.
7. Keep your distance from your car: In rainy weather, speed is the enemy of safety. Follow the principle of "reduce the speed limit by three" and keep a longer distance than on a sunny day to give yourself and others more time to react.
8. Safety first: In case of an unfortunate accident or failure, quickly implement "pull over, evacuate, and call the police" to avoid being stranded on the main line and reduce the risk of secondary accidents.
9. Peace of mind: Be aware of safety rain or shine. In a complex driving environment, it is the responsibility and mission of every driver to stay calm and respond flexibly.
Driving in the rain is not only a challenge to technology, but also a test of mentality. Obeying the above nine iron laws is not only a responsibility for yourself, but also a commitment to your family and society. In the rain curtain, I hope that every driver can become a guardian of safety, so that every trip can become a safe journey. Remember, safety is not a slogan, it's a conviction every time you get behind the wheel.
