In the face of a sudden rain storm on Highway, we must first keep calm. Because only in a calm state can we make correct judgments and decisions. Do not panic because the rain is too large, which may lead to operational errors and increase the risk of accidents !
1. Timely turn on rain fog light and profile light In heavy rain weather, visibility will be greatly reduced, so timely turn on rain fog light and profile light is very necessary. Rain fog lights have strong penetration and can help other vehicles better identify your vehicle and avoid accidents such as rear-end collisions. At the same time, the profile lights can also allow other vehicles to see the outline of your vehicle more clearly, increasing the safety of driving. Control the speed and maintain a safe distance. In rainstorm weather, the road is slippery, and the braking distance of the vehicle will be greatly increased. Therefore, we should properly reduce the speed and maintain a safe distance from the car in front of us. This way, even in the event of an emergency, there is enough time and space to react and avoid accidents.
2. Avoid frequent lane changes and overtaking during stormy weather, frequent lane changes and overtaking increase the risk of accidents due to poor visibility and slippery roads. Therefore, we should minimize the number of lane changes and overtaking and maintain a stable driving trajectory. If you need to change lanes or overtake, be sure to use the turn signal in advance and observe it clearly before proceeding. Pay attention to observe the road conditions, and avoid the water in time. In the rainstorm weather, it is easy to have water on the road. These water will not only affect the stability of the vehicle, but also may hide some unknown dangers, such as road collapse, manhole cover loss. Therefore, we should always pay attention to observe the road conditions during the driving process and avoid the water in time. If it is impossible to avoid the need to pass through the waterlogged section, be sure to slow down and avoid splashing affecting the safety of other vehicles !
3. Plan your route in advance and avoid areas prone to waterlogging Before you leave, you can plan your route in advance through weather forecasts and traffic information, and try to avoid areas prone to waterlogging. If you must pass through these areas, you can make preparations in advance, such as carrying rain gear, spare tires, etc., in case of emergency !
