What are the precautions for safe driving in summer rain?
1 Answers
When driving in summer rain, pay attention to your visibility and the vehicles ahead. Details are as follows: Maintain good visibility: In addition to driving cautiously, promptly turn on the windshield wipers when driving in the rain. When the weather is dim, also turn on the low beams and fog lights. If there is frost on the front windshield, turn on the air conditioning and direct the cold air toward the front windshield. If there is frost on the rear windshield, turn on the rear windshield heater to quickly eliminate the frost and avoid obstructing the view of vehicles behind. Pay attention to following distance: Especially avoid following large vehicles too closely. First, they can block your view, as the water splashed by the large vehicle's wheels can blur the windshield of the following car, making it difficult for the driver to see the road conditions clearly in a short time, which can be dangerous. Second, large vehicles may pass through waterlogged areas that smaller cars cannot, and large vehicles are more likely to splash water, potentially affecting smaller cars. Watch out for pedestrians: Pedestrians holding umbrellas and cyclists wearing raincoats have limited visibility, hearing, and reaction time due to the rain. Sometimes, they may rush across the road abruptly, causing them to panic and slip when vehicles approach, leaving drivers unprepared. In such situations, drivers should slow down, patiently yield, and if necessary, choose a safe spot to stop. Avoid rushing or competing with pedestrians and cyclists.
