Driving safety precautions in heavy rainfall weather
Reminder: It is best not to travel by car in rainstorm weather, in the city, just after heavy rain, the road surface is relatively slippery, the city is easy to accumulate water, and it is easy to have traffic accidents when driving. If you must travel, please keep abreast of road conditions and detour in advance to waterlogged roads and sections prone to flash floods and mudslides. Let's take a look at the following precautions for driving in rainy days.
1. Slow down when driving in rainy weather
When driving in rainy weather, your vision is blurry, so it's best to slow down and try to keep a certain distance from the car in front of you, don't get too close to the car, and don't overtake frequently. In addition, the road becomes slippery due to rain, which causes the adhesion of the tires to decrease. If the speed of the vehicle is too fast, the braking distance in case of emergency is 20%-40% longer than that of good weather, the braking effect is significantly reduced, and the chance of accidents increases.
2. Pay attention to increasing the driving distance
In rainy days, it is necessary to pay attention to increasing the distance between vehicles, and the road surface is slippery in rainy days, the adhesion of the road surface decreases, and the braking distance increases, which is prone to accidents. Keep a distance of more than twice as much as the vehicle in front of you, reduce your speed, pay attention to the driving situation of the vehicle in front at any time, and prepare for emergency measures in advance.
3. Pay attention to avoid pedestrians
When driving in rainy weather, you need to pay special attention to pedestrians on the road. Pedestrians will have their sight and hearing affected to a certain extent after wearing umbrellas and raincoats, and accidents are likely to occur if they are not careful. Therefore, when encountering pedestrians, be patient and avoid them.
4. The depth of the water should not be stronger
When passing through waterlogged roads, drivers should slow down and observe the road ahead before deciding whether to move forward. Check the depth of the water and the width of the water entering and exiting the water before wading. If the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tires, it is not advisable to risk wading into the water, and you should try to detour as much as possible and do not force your way through.
5. Turn off the fire in the water and do not start again
If the vehicle fails to stall during wading, the engine cannot be restarted, as restarting will cause the cylinder that has been flooded to be affected by the compressed water, causing serious damage to the engine; At this time, the personnel should leave the vehicle and wait for rescue or contact repair to deal with it at the scene in a safe area.
