When temporarily parking a vehicle in rainy weather, the hazard warning lights (double flash lights) should be turned on. Reason for turning on the hazard warning lights: Because the braking distance of a car in rainy weather is longer than on a sunny day, to prevent rear-end collisions, it is necessary to inform the following vehicles in advance, hence the hazard warning lights should be activated. Use rear fog lights cautiously: In very heavy rain, rear fog lights can be turned on because the red tail lights themselves have excellent penetration, and general heavy rain cannot block their light. Rear fog lights are very bright and can be used to penetrate thick fog, but using them in ordinary rainy weather can easily dazzle the following vehicles. If the vision of the following driver is affected, the safety of the leading vehicle cannot be guaranteed. Hazard warning lights are the highest level of warning lights, so many people instinctively turn them on in heavy fog. However, this practice is prohibited in some countries because it can make it difficult for following vehicles to judge the direction of the leading vehicle. It is especially important to note that you should never change lanes with hazard warning lights on. Try to avoid changing lanes in foggy weather. If you need to change lanes, turn off the hazard warning lights and turn on the turn signals. If driving on a highway, it is recommended that drivers turn on the turn signals 500 meters before changing lanes or exiting the ramp.
