Why is it easy to have a car accident on rainy days?

Rainy days are the weather with high traffic accidents. On rainy days, the road is often slippery. Once the speed is too fast, it is not easy to brake, and the tires are even easy to slip, which is very dangerous. Here is a detailed introduction to the causes of accidents in rainy days and several tips for driving in rainy days.

I. Reasons

1. Rainwater on the windshield in rainy days affects the driver's observation of road conditions, which easily leads to traffic accidents, reduces the braking performance of vehicles, makes the brakes too heavy or too long, and easily leads to vehicle deflection, displacement or body imbalance, rollover and inertial forward collision.

2. The main parts of the car body are aging, and the anti-skid ability of the tire is reduced. Driving in rainy days is likely to cause vehicle sideslip, rollover, rotation or rear-end collision. Rain changed the driver's driving environment, and water accumulated on the road surface reduced the safety and friction of the road. When a moving vehicle is in emergency acceleration or cornering braking, inertia can easily lead to vehicle sideslip and rollover.

3. The most intuitive problem is the line of sight. Rain hits the windshield, and the fog rolled up by the front car will cause an accident. The influence of weather on roads. The rain changed the driving environment of drivers. The accumulated water on the road reduces the friction of the road. When the vehicle is braking, accelerating or turning, it is easy to have uncertainties such as sideslip, rollover and rotation.

4. Rain also has a certain influence on the brakes of motor vehicles. The braking performance is reduced, and the braking weight or distance is too long, which is easy to cause vehicle deviation, displacement, body imbalance, rollover and inertial collision. The anti-skid ability of the tire is reduced. There are also some drivers who don't have a systematic highway, don't estimate the risk of rainy days, and when they drive, they become busy and confused in case of emergency, leading to unfavorable factors for themselves.

Second, driving skills in rainy days

1. During driving, the weather conditions will affect the driving state. If the rain is not heavy, be sure to turn on the wiper and slow down. To avoid fogging the glass, turn on the cold air to blow the front windshield forward, and turn on the rear windshield if necessary.

2. Generally speaking, the rain on the rearview mirror is difficult to remove, which will affect the driver's observation of the coming car. If the rearview mirror can be opened after heating, it is very useful in the case of less rain.

3, the line of sight is not good in rainy days. Don't change lanes to overtake unless necessary. Grasp the steering wheel to prevent one side of the tire from getting out of control when rolling on stagnant water, and try to avoid taking the outermost lane. Generally speaking, the highway is high on both sides and low in the middle. There may be more water in the outermost lane, which is more dangerous when driving.

On rainy days, there will still be many pedestrians on many roads. Pedestrians wearing umbrellas and raincoats will affect their eyesight and hearing to some extent. When you meet pedestrians in front, you must slow down in advance, honk your horn to remind pedestrians, and stop if necessary.
