Why is it not advisable to overtake in rainy weather?
1 Answers
When driving in the rain, always pay attention to the speed and direction of the vehicle in front, and never accelerate to overtake just because the vehicle ahead is moving slowly. Especially on highways, where the speed of vehicles in each lane is relatively high, the driver's field of vision narrows. Coupled with slippery road surfaces, forcibly changing lanes to overtake can easily cause the wheels to skid with just a slight turn of the steering wheel, leading to collisions with other vehicles or even rollover accidents. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Difficulty in judging distance: It becomes hard to accurately assess the distance to surrounding vehicles. 2. Poor visibility of overtaking signals: Drivers of nearby vehicles may not easily see overtaking signals. 3. Slippery roads: Vehicles are prone to skidding. 4. Other factors: It becomes difficult to promptly detect dangerous situations.
