What to Do If You Can't See the Traffic Light Clearly on Rainy Days?

New traffic regulations stipulate that 'driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points.' However, not all situations will lead to a 6-point deduction. For example, violations such as making a left turn from a straight lane at an intersection will still be recorded as 'violating prohibition signs' with a 3-point deduction. Additionally, running a red light captured by cameras will only incur a fine without point deduction. Precautions for driving in the rain are as follows: 1. Slow down: Regardless of road width or condition, drive slowly in the rain, always paying attention to the distance between vehicles ahead and behind you. Be mentally prepared to take emergency measures. Visibility is low in the rain, and the vehicle's braking distance and other emergency performance may be reduced. Therefore, slow down in advance to leave enough time and space to handle situations and ensure safety. 2. Maintain distance: Driving in the rain obstructs visibility, so it's important to keep a safe distance from other vehicles, especially large trucks. Large trucks can block your view, and puddles that they can pass through may not be passable for smaller cars. Additionally, large trucks can splash water, interfering with smaller vehicles. 3. Use fog lights: Turning on fog lights in the rain is not to see others but to make other drivers notice you. Make full use of fog lights to enhance driving safety. If necessary, turn on hazard warning lights to ensure vehicles behind you are aware of your movements. Even without fog lights, use low beams. 4. Watch for pedestrians: Pedestrians holding umbrellas and cyclists wearing raincoats have limited visibility, hearing, and reaction time. Sometimes, they may rush across the road unexpectedly, causing drivers to panic. In such situations, drivers should slow down, patiently yield, and if necessary, stop at a safe location. Avoid rushing or competing with pedestrians and cyclists. 5. Do not restart after stalling: In heavy rain or storms, some roads may flood quickly. If you must drive through water, use a low gear and maintain a steady speed. If the vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it immediately, as this may cause severe engine damage.
