What Lights Should Be Turned on When Driving in the Rain?
1 Answers
When driving in the rain, the lights to be turned on depend on the intensity of the rainfall: for light to moderate rain, turn on the low beam headlights; for heavy rain, use the low beam headlights and front fog lights; for torrential rain, use the low beam headlights along with both front and rear fog lights. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Regardless of the road width or condition, slow down and drive cautiously in the rain, always observing vehicles ahead and behind, and be prepared to take emergency measures if necessary; 2. Reduced visibility during rain requires maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles; 3. Be mindful of pedestrians, slow down, and yield patiently when needed. If necessary, choose a safe spot to stop rather than rushing past pedestrians and cyclists; 4. In heavy or torrential rain, some road sections may flood quickly. If you must drive through water, do so steadily in a low gear. If the vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it immediately—doing so blindly could severely damage the engine. After stalling, contact a professional repair shop promptly. Only restart the vehicle after a technician has inspected it on-site and confirmed no issues exist.
