What should be paid attention to when driving in hot weather?

Precautions for safe driving in hot weather are as follows: 1. Conduct vehicle safety inspection before departure: High temperatures in summer increase the risk of vehicle spontaneous combustion. Strengthen daily vehicle inspection and maintenance, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, do not place flammable items such as perfumes and lighters in the car, and carry a fire extinguisher. Pay attention to tire wear and tire pressure. Replace tires promptly if aging, bulging, or cracking is found. Tire pressure should not be too high or too low. In case of a tire blowout, keep the vehicle moving straight, slow down gradually, and avoid slamming on the brakes. 2. Avoid wearing sunglasses that are too dark: Dark-colored sunglasses can delay the time it takes for the eyes to send images to the brain, causing a distorted sense of speed and leading to misjudgment by the driver. 3. Never drive in slippers: In an emergency, if slippers do not stay on the feet when pressing the accelerator or brake, it may delay braking and cause a traffic accident. 4. Monitor the water temperature gauge in summer: Due to the hot weather, always pay attention to changes in the water temperature gauge while driving. Generally, it should not exceed 95°C, especially when the vehicle is loaded or driving on mountainous roads. Take extra care to prevent engine overheating and replenish the radiator with water in time.
