On the afternoon of July 31, there was a large-scale rainstorm in Beijing. In a short time, the day turned into the night and the rain poured down. Under the influence of the strong wind, the vehicles on the road could not see the road ahead clearly.

    In the case of a sudden rainstorm, how should the owner drive?What's the safest thing to do?

1. Turn on fog lamps when necessary

    Heavy rain is likely to produce fog, low visibility in the rainstorm weather, turn on double flash and high beam are unscientific.At this time the owner should turn on the near-light and profile-light, if the rain is heavy, visibility reduced, you need to turn on the fog lights.In case of heavy rain, fog lamps can greatly improve the safety of driving.Even if there is not a lot of rain on the highway, because of the speed, it is easy to blur the line of sight.In addition to turning on the vehicle profile lights, vehicle headlights and front and rear fog lights should also be turned on in a timely manner.We should also turn on the double flash and drive slowly to the right when it rains too much.

2, the front baffle glass fog should be defogging

    During the rainstorm, due to the decrease of temperature, fog will be generated on the front and rear windshields, which will affect the driver's visual field and pose a certain threat to traffic safety.If this is the case, the owner should turn on the cool air to remove the fog from the front windshield, and the rear windshield can be removed by turning on the heater.

3, appropriately increase the distance with the car ahead

    Novice drivers should increase the distance between themselves and the car ahead when driving on rainy days.The line of sight is lower on rainy days than on sunny days, the grip of the tyres is lower, and the braking distance is longer in an emergency.New drivers have no such experience and should give themselves more room to cope.In the meantime, try to avoid buses or trucks.First, their blind spot is too big, and second, the road water splashed onto the front windshield, the novice "blind" will become panic.

4, if you want to wade, how to operate?

    Walk the sand, walk the water.Whether you are driving with manual or automatic transmission, be sure to switch to lower gear before crossing the water, one breath, do not stop halfway, change gear or turn sharply, to avoid the exhaust pipe backflow into water.This is not only to control the speed, but also to increase the engine torque, which can be used to offset the driving resistance caused by water.In addition, if you can sense the location of the water is too deep, do not force wading.

5. Don't start the engine again when the car gets soaked

      stopped when there is a heavy rain weather, road area of the depth of the water in low areas of cars might be the risk on the bubble, if the car is made, the owner first to calm down, don't try to start the engine, because once you start the engine, the interior of the car parts may be damaged by water, then the owner should do is to take pictures and contact insurance to the trailer.

    In a word, in stormy weather, we can not drive as far as possible not to drive, can not wade as far as possible not to wade, always put safety in the first place.
