Jul 21, 2022
Recently, as September approaches, the pace of autumn is gradually approaching, and it will usher in one autumn rain after another. Although pickup users drive tall and mighty pickup models, the impact of rainy days and the safety hazards of driving in rainy days cannot be ignored.
The following are a few small experiences summarized.
Be sure to maintain a wide field of vision: turn on the wipers in time after it rains, and turn on the dipped beam, anti-fog lights and position lights. The double flash can not be used, because the turn signal cannot be turned on after the double flash is turned on in rainy days, which will make the driver behind you do not know your driving intention, and it is easy to rear-end.
Follow the car in the rain, keep the distance, and brake carefully. Because the ground is slippery in the rain, the grip of the tires will be reduced, and the disc brakes will also enter the water, which will reduce the braking force and increase the braking distance.
Do not occupy the road, and the inner lane is reserved for faster vehicles. Although it is necessary to drive slowly in rainy days, do not drive at a turtle speed, especially do not drive at a very low speed with the innermost lane, which is very likely to cause rear-end collision.
Slow down and drive carefully: The braking distance on muddy roads can be up to 3 times that of normal roads, so no matter the road conditions are good or bad, the speed of the pickup should be controlled within 40-60km. Especially in high-speed driving, it will cause the wheels to slip and be prone to accidents. Increase the safety distance.
Reduce fog generation: When it rains in autumn, the windshield of the pickup is very easy to condense fog and block the sight. If you are not careful, it will cause a catastrophe. At this time, it is necessary to turn on the hot air of the air conditioner and the gear of blowing the windshield to remove the fog in time. Protect your windshield: Apply a water repellant to your windshield and rain will run off quickly. In addition, in rainy days, the rearview mirror is easily stained with rainwater, which makes it difficult to see the vehicles behind, causing traffic accidents. You can install a windshield on the rearview mirror.
Frequent dodging is prohibited: In rainy days, someone frequently avoids the water on the road, which can easily cause the vehicles behind to not be able to figure out your driving route and cause rear-end collision.
