Rainstorm in summer is easy to accumulate water, so learn to drive safely by wading quickly.

With the full arrival of summer, severe weather such as heavy rain and short-term heavy precipitation will begin to appear in all parts of the north. Although there may not be a lot of serious waterlogging like this, water accumulation on roads and low-lying sections will be more common. Therefore, we must be prepared in advance, and learn safety knowledge such as safe driving, safe wading, and self-help and escape of vehicles falling into the water from now on!

Precautions for safe driving in rainy days.

Precautions for driving in rainy days

Slow down and don't slam on the brakes: the road is slippery in rainy days, keep driving at a low speed and enhance predictability. Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking during driving, otherwise it is easy to slip out of control.

Turn slowly, don't rush to hit the direction: driving in rainy days is easy to slip, so turn slowly and then return to normal speed. If you can't see the opposite corner, honk your horn to remind the oncoming car. Tap the steering wheel gently, don't slam the steering wheel, slam on the brakes.

Minimize overtaking and overtaking: It is more difficult to control vehicles in rainy days than in normal weather. Therefore, when driving, try to minimize cross-overtaking, try to follow the car, and don't fight for the road.

Increase the distance between the front and rear vehicles: the road surface is slippery in rainy days, and the braking distance is longer than that on dry roads. Please increase the distance with the car and leave yourself time and space to deal with emergencies and avoid accidents.

Ensure that the wiper works normally: check the wiper before going out to ensure that the rain can be scraped off normally.

Clear the fog on the window in time: If the window fogs during driving, you can adjust the air outlet mode to defog mode, and the air outlet is facing the windshield to disperse the fog. It should be noted that if warm air is used to remove fog, the fog will be thicker at first. Before starting the defogging operation, please pay attention to stop in a safe place and drive on the road after the vision is clear.

Proper use of lighting: When the visibility is reduced due to rainfall, you should turn on the headlights, position lights and rear position lights in time, not only for lighting, but also for other traffic participants to notice your presence. In addition, it should be noted that the rear car driving in the same direction should not use the high beam when driving close to the front car.

Safe passage through the stagnant water section

Observe the water depth before wading. If the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire, it is dangerous to wade. Try to avoid it and don't force it through.

Drive at a low speed and at a constant speed to avoid splash from the engine room or chassis entering the cab.

Don't stop, shift gears or loosen the throttle, but pass at a low speed and at a constant speed. If the engine is turned off during wading, it cannot be started again.

After wading, the brake is lightly braked several times continuously, so that the moisture on the brake pad is volatilized through friction heat, and the braking performance is not affected.

Trapped in water, save yourself and escape.

If you are trapped in the stagnant water section, you should help yourself decisively and escape according to the following methods:

Try to open the door at the first time. If the door can be opened, leave the vehicle quickly. It should be noted that most of the doors are now electronically controlled, and once the car is powered off, the doors will automatically lock. Therefore, when the car falls into the water, it is necessary to open the central locking immediately to avoid locking the door when the power is cut off.

If the external water pressure is too high to open the door, lower the window immediately. When water enters the car and the internal and external water pressures are consistent, you should immediately open the door to escape. Even if you can't open the door because of power failure, you can quickly climb out of the window to escape.

In case the doors and windows can't be opened, take decisive measures to break the window. When breaking a window, you should pay attention to the following points:

High-heeled shoes and seat headrest can't effectively break the window, so try to use tools such as safety hammer and window breaker. Therefore, there must always be a window breaker in the car!

Wrap your face and exposed skin with clothes and other fabrics to avoid scratching yourself when you break the window.

The front windshield is double-layered and not fragile. You should choose a nearby side window to break it.
