What should be noted when driving through a tunnel?
1 Answers
When driving through a tunnel, it is necessary to pay attention to observing traffic signs, turning on the headlights in advance, and reducing the driving speed. The following are specific explanations for the above precautions: Observing traffic signs: Trucks should pay special attention to height restrictions, and vehicles exceeding the height limit are strictly prohibited from entering the tunnel. When driving in the tunnel, do not rely on intuition to judge the speed; always confirm the driving speed through the speedometer, and also pay attention to maintaining an appropriate following distance. Turning on the headlights in advance: Due to poor visibility inside the tunnel, the headlights and width markers should be turned on in advance before entering the tunnel to clearly see the road and traffic conditions, and also to make it easier for others to identify your vehicle. Reducing the driving speed: Due to the difference in brightness inside and outside the tunnel, the human eye undergoes a dark adaptation process when entering the tunnel and a light adaptation process when exiting. During these processes, the driver's vision is impaired, so it is necessary to slow down. When driving in the tunnel, do not rely on intuition to judge the speed; always confirm the driving speed through the speedometer.
