Car lights tell you to drive safely. How much do you understand the language of these car lights?

During daily driving, the most direct way for vehicles to communicate with each other and express their emotions is through lights and horns. Correct and reasonable use can serve as a reminder and communication, but misuse can cause emotional fluctuations in other drivers and indirectly create safety hazards. Common "car talk": ●Change the high beam to low beam when meeting another car: "Be careful when meeting another car!" ●Flash your headlights twice for the car ahead: "Quickly give way, let me go first!" ●The car ahead of you Flashing the lights rapidly or even honking the horn: "There is something wrong with your car, stop and check it quickly!" ● Turn on the brake lights frequently while driving: "You are too close to me, you should stay away." ● The horn is long when meeting cars going up or downhill. Honking: "Please give way, I can't stop!" ●You don't need to stop when you see an acquaintance, just press the horn "Beep": "Hello! Goodbye!" ●When there are pedestrians, bicycles, etc. in front of you, press twice in succession "Beep": "A car is coming, please give way!" ●Intermittently honk the horn "Beep", "Beep", "Beep": "Please slow down and keep to the right, I want to overtake!"● Give way to the car in front of you, and when you are parallel to the car in front, press the horn to "beep": "Thank you." ●When two cars meet on a narrow road, they lightly honk the horn: "Be careful! Slow down and keep to the right." 1 Car Light Language When driving on the road, some people only know how to turn on and off the lights, but do not understand under what circumstances Which lights to use. When driving at night, the visibility is poor. If you use lights indiscriminately or do not turn on the corresponding lights, it will increase the chance of accidents, which is not a good thing for yourself and others. 1.1 What are the car lights? What is the function? Car lights include position lights, headlights, turn signals, hazard warning lights, license plate lights, brake lights, reversing lights and anti-fog lights. 1.1.1 Position lights (commonly known as small lights, with front and rear yellow and rear lights, used to indicate the length and width of the car at night, also called width lights): This light should be turned on on rainy days, dark weather or in underground parking lots. . The profile lights are on, and the tail lights at the back are used to signal vehicles behind you to keep a distance; the lights at the front remind oncoming vehicles to pay attention to the lateral distance. 1.1.2 Headlights (high and low beams are also called headlights): They are used to illuminate the road when driving at night. Switch between high and low beam lights as the road surface and vehicle speed change. Generally, in urban areas or on roads with better lighting, only low beam lights are used when the vehicle speed is not fast. In the suburbs, on roads with poor lighting, As the car speeds up, high beams can be used, but when encountering another car, pedestrians, or cyclists, they should switch to low beams. Vehicles with high beams turned on should switch to low beams 150 meters before meeting another car. 1.1.3 Turn signal: (1) Left turn signal; if the vehicle in front is parked on the roadside and turned on, it means it is preparing to start; if a moving vehicle turns on the left turn signal, it may want to use the left lane; If you are in front of an intersection, you may have to turn left or make a U-turn; (2) Right turn signal: Park on the right; turn right; pass the car and return to your own lane. 1.1.4 Hazard warning lights are also called "double flashing lights": when a vehicle emergency occurs, this light should be turned on through the corresponding switch. When a vehicle breaks down and is parked on the side of the road, in addition to turning on the hazard warning lights, a triangular reflector is also set up about 150 meters behind the vehicle to warn oncoming vehicles to avoid rear-end collisions. The turn signal flashing at the same time indicates several situations: (1) Towing a faulty car, breaking down or in poor condition (driving slowly or parked on the side of the road); (2) There is an emergency mission, telling everyone to pay attention and avoid it; (3) ) The convoy is driving together, pay attention to give way; (4) Signal the passing vehicles and open the door and get off. (5) When making a short stop on the side of a city road or in an emergency parking zone on a highway, more and more drivers have noticed that they need to turn on their double-flash warning lights to remind passing vehicles to pay attention. This is also a good habit, especially The effect is more obvious at night. 1.1.5 License plate light: It is convenient to identify the car at night. 1.1.6 Brake light (brake light): The brake light is red, dazzling, and more attention-grabbing.

When you step on the brake (brake) pedal, the brake (brake) light at the rear of the car will light up to attract the attention of the car behind you, indicating that the car in front is decelerating. Please note that the car behind you should also take corresponding deceleration measures (step on the brake pedal). brake pedal). 1.1.7 Reversing lights: The reversing lights are white, one on each side is symmetrical. They are used for reversing at night to help observe the situation behind the car and prompt people next to you to avoid it. 1.1.8 Anti-fog lights (both front and rear): Fog lights are generally used in foggy, heavy rainy weather, or when road visibility is poor. The penetrating power of fog lights is much stronger than that of driving lights. In foggy days, heavy rain, heavy snow and sandstorms, we should turn on the front and rear fog lights of the vehicle so that other vehicles can see you from a farther distance. car. When there is no fog, turning on fog lights will not only fail to serve as a warning, but will also affect the visibility of other traffic participants due to their brightness being too bright, affecting traffic safety. ?
