What's the harm of driving without turning off the lights?

The most direct impact is to shorten the service life of the battery. Generally, the original battery of a new car can be used for more than 3 years under normal circumstances. But if you often forget to turn off the headlights, the battery will be gone and scrapped in about 3 months.

The damage caused by power exhaustion is irreparable. After excessive use of electricity, the owner thinks that he can continue to use it with little impact, but in fact, his life may have been halved. If the positive plate becomes soft, the battery can't be repaired, so we have to replace it with a new one.

In addition, the constant light of the car lamp will also cause loss to the light bulb. Therefore, everyone should develop good car habits, otherwise it will not only hurt the car but also cost money.

Extended data:

1, the position light, as the name implies, is used to show the position of a stationary car in the dark, so you can't use the position light when driving in the dark.

2. Low beam lights, the low beam lights must be turned on in the following situations: driving in dark areas without street lights, and driving in the evening when the sky is dark or dawn breaks; If you catch up with fog, heavy snow or heavy rain and your sight is blocked, you must turn on the low beam even during the day; Although some road sections have lighting devices, the brightness is not enough. At this time, the low beam lamp should also be turned on.

3, high beam, only when there is no other lighting equipment on the road and there is no traffic on the opposite side, you can use the high beam. Otherwise, it will seriously interfere with the other party's sight and even cause traffic accidents. Be careful not to mistake the high beam for the low beam.

4, fog lights, when encountering fog, rain, snow weather, the line of sight is not clear, be sure to turn on the front fog lights, and daytime is no exception. Many models are designed to use fog lights with position lights or low beam lights. Also pay attention to the rear fog lamp: the rear fog lamp can only be used when the sight distance is less than 50 meters. Usually, some drivers use the rear fog lamp as a position light, completely ignoring the eyes of the driver behind them.
