Drive like this on a rainy day
You remember
Affected by strong cold air, 2 6 days in our city.
Widespread low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather will continue.
At 14 o'clock in the afternoon, Huanggang Meteorological Disaster Emergency Headquarters.
Initiate emergency response to meteorological disasters (cold waves).
Affected by strong cold air, rainfall, sleet, freezing rain and other weather, the driver's vision is obstructed in rainy and snowy days, and the friction between tires and the ground is reduced, resulting in a great reduction in driving safety factor, which is very prone to traffic accidents.
In this regard, the Huanggang traffic police sorted out a set of necessary knowledge points for safe driving in rainy and snowy weather for the majority of drivers and friends.
There are safety hazards in speeding
When driving in rain or snow, be sure to slow down. Coupled with the fact that the road is slippery in rain and snow, driving accidents are frequent, and excessive speed will make you lose the time and space to respond to emergencies, which can easily cause traffic accidents. So, what are the potential safety hazards of speeding in rain and snow?
Increase braking distance
The higher the speed of the vehicle, the greater the braking distance required, increasing the risk of road traffic collisions.
Affects the operational stability of the vehicle
Speeding will lead to the deterioration of the stability of the vehicle's operation, especially in corners, due to the action of centrifugal force, it is easy to make the vehicle slide or tilt to the outside of the center of rotation. Excessive centrifugal force can make the vehicle extremely difficult to handle or even out of control. If you drive on a road with a small road adhesion coefficient, there is a possibility of skidding and collision; If you drive on a road with a large road adhesion coefficient, you may cause accidents such as tipping.
Aggravate the consequences of the accident
The faster the vehicle, the greater the collision energy, which doubles the speed and quadruples the collision energy. If the speed is 50 kilometers per hour, in the event of an accident, the vehicle is equivalent to falling from the height of a three-story building; If the speed is 100 kilometers per hour, in the event of an accident, the vehicle is equivalent to falling from the height of a ten-story building.
Failure to keep a safe distance is a safety hazard
Do not drive too close to the vehicle in rain or snow, and keep a safe driving distance to allow yourself and other traffic participants enough time to react. So, what are the safety risks of not keeping a safe distance in rain and snow?
Obstructed view
When the driver is driving in rain or snow, if the distance to the vehicle in front of him is too close, the view will be blockedIf you can't see directly into certain areas of the outside of the vehicle, you will have a blind spotIn case of emergencies, it is very easy to cause traffic accidents due to the driver's lack of reaction time.
Stay away from big cars
When driving on rainy and snowy daysThe mist thrown by the wheels of a large car can seriously affect the vision of the rear vehicle. In addition, the braking performance of large cars in rain and snow is attenuated more than that of small cars, which brings unpredictable traffic safety hazards to car drivers.
Be prepared to drive safely
Wipe down the windows
In rainy and foggy days, the humidity is high, and the water vapor is easy to condense on the surface of the windshield, which impairs the driver's vision and is very prone to traffic accidents.
Inspect the vehicle
Check the safety technical condition of the vehicle, especially the brakes, lights, wipers, etc. Anti-fog lamps and width indicators can play a role in identifying and warning in rainy and foggy days, wipers can sweep fog and water droplets from the windshield, and brakes can control the speed of the vehicle at critical moments to avoid collisions with other vehicles. Therefore, it is important to ensure that these devices are in working order at all times.
Turn on the heater
In winter, due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, it is easy to cause fog on the inside of the glass and affect the line of sight.
Start slowly
When driving on icy or snowy surfaces, start as slowly as possible to keep the wheels sticky. If you start with heavy fuel, the adhesion between the wheels and the icy road surface becomes smaller, and the wheels are likely to spin and slip, and the direction of travel becomes difficult to control.
Drive at a constant speed
In rainy and snowy weather, sudden braking, acceleration and deceleration, and direction of rotation may cause side skidding. Maintain a constant speed, keep the direction steady, and maintain the smoothness of the vehicle.
Make good use of your headlights
It is best to turn on the headlights when driving at night in rain or snow, and only turn on the low beams. If there is heavy rain or fog, you can also turn on the front and rear fog lights at the same time. It is convenient for you to observe the driving situation around you and alert other traffic participants.
