There are the following precautions for driving in summer: 1. Do not drive while fatigued. The long days, short nights, and high temperatures lead to high physical exertion, especially at noon when fatigue and drowsiness are common. Ensure sufficient sleep to maintain energy; 2. Choose and use sunglasses correctly. When selecting sunglasses, avoid those with overly dark lenses and opt for polarized sunglasses; 3. Do not drive in slippers; 4. Do not sleep in a closed car; 5. Prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. High temperatures can cause glare on asphalt roads, leading to irritability and lack of concentration while driving. Additionally, the unpredictable summer weather with frequent strong winds and heavy rain increases the likelihood of traffic accidents.
In summer driving, I prioritize vehicle maintenance the most. When it's hot, the engine cooling system is most prone to problems. Before every trip, I check the coolant level and radiator condition to prevent overheating and cylinder burning. Tires are also crucial, as high temperatures can cause tire pressure to rise, even leading to blowouts, so I regularly check and adjust the tire pressure to the recommended value. Don't forget to clean the air conditioning system; accumulated dust and mold can easily cause odors or allergies, affecting health. For long trips, it's also essential to bring enough antifreeze and spare water for emergency use. Actually, developing these small habits in daily life can save a lot of trouble and money.
