Precautions for Driving in Rainy Weather
1 Answers
Precautions for driving in rainy weather include turning on indicators and wipers, reducing speed, and maintaining a certain driving distance. The following are detailed explanations: Turning on indicators and wipers: While driving, in addition to maintaining a corresponding low gear speed, you should promptly turn on the wipers to ensure the front windshield, blurred by rain, remains clearly visible. Reducing speed: When driving in the rain, the gap between the rainwater on the road and the tires forms a "water film," which reduces the car's braking performance and increases the braking distance. Also, avoid making sudden steering wheel movements. Maintaining a certain driving distance: Keeping a safe driving distance is particularly crucial in rainy conditions. Increase the following distance, judge the road conditions ahead in advance, and slow down early, as the braking distance will significantly increase in the rain. All braking should be gentle and smooth. When changing lanes in the rain, do it slowly and observe carefully. Driving in the rain with rearview mirrors covered in water droplets obstructs visibility, so extra caution is needed when changing lanes or turning. Signal your intention 50-100 meters in advance to alert vehicles behind, then steer slowly to change lanes gradually, giving the following vehicles time to react and voluntarily slow down to yield. Confirm safety before slowly changing lanes.
