The rainy season is coming soon. However, the rainy day is a period of high traffic accidents, and often there are accidents such as scratching, rear-end collision, and side-rolling. According to statistics, the traffic accidents in rainy days were nearly 25% higher than those in sunny weather. Among them, traffic accidents caused by driver’s mistakes and lack of attention to safe driving in rainy days accounted for more than 80%. At this time, the use of reflective materials such as batons and other means of transportation is very important, and it is safe for people to travel. So, how to reduce the traffic safety problems caused by rain weather? How should a car be flooded?

Repel water fog to improve sight

The traffic police department said that driving on a rainy day, the driver’s vision was blocked and it was easy to cause traffic accidents. In daily maintenance, it is found that the wipers are aging and should be replaced in time. In addition, when the humidity in the south is high, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car during rainy days can easily cause the front and rear windshields to fog and affect the sight. If this happens, the driver should turn on the air conditioner and switch to windshield mode.

Use lighting system rationally

In most cases, the sky is darker when it rains. Coupled with the effects of rain, driving vision is greatly affected. However, some drivers feel that they can see the road ahead and do not need to turn on the lights. Traffic policemen wearing reflective vests to direct traffic and come to the conclusion that this is a misunderstanding. Because, when driving in a rainy day, the low beam lights are turned on not only to illuminate the road in front of them, but also to make it easier for other vehicles to notice the position of your vehicle, thereby reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents such as rear-end collisions.

The traffic police reminds you that you can turn on the lights in the rainy days. If it is a heavy rain, you need to open the front and rear fog lights. However, do not turn on the high beams in the rainy and foggy days, because the high beam’s irradiation angle tends to cause the light to be scattered, and the penetrating power in the rainy and foggy days is rather poor.

Another traffic police reminds you that it’s best to wear raincoats with reflective tapes when you’re on a trip to ensure safe travel.
