Thunderstorm days driving car technical experts to help you answer doubts

With several great situations, the weather in Chengdu was really cool for many days. However, when a rainstorm strikes, it is also the easiest time to have a traffic accident on the road. In this case, the driver must be particularly careful to remind him to drive carefully, especially when the novice is driving in heavy rain.

Can thunderstorm drive ?

When I was a child, I listened to adults. I must not stand under the trees to shelter from the rain, nor should I be near metal objects. Chengdu's sudden torrential rains often punctuated with thunder and lightning, could not help but wonder if it was rainy days to drive a car. Is it safe to hide people in such a large metal object? Can I call? Can you listen to the radio?

The reporter specially consulted with the automotive technology expert Dacheng Service Director Lei Jian. Although the car is a large piece of metal objects, wet tires have become the segregation object for metal cars and the earth. The car and the earth cannot form a back-to-back body, so people are still in the car. Relatively safe. For everyone's most concerned about, thunderstorm weather is safe in the car phone, Ray said that it is best not to phone in the car. Due to the interference of thunder and lightning, the wireless frequency jump of the mobile phone is enhanced, which easily induces accidents such as lightning strike and burning. In general, thunder and lightning will only interfere with mobile phone signals. At most, it will only damage the chip and will not cause fatal harm to the human body. At the same time, it is best not to accept radios in thunderstorms because the antenna of the radio has the function of a lightning rod and will absorb lightning. Therefore, it must be collected. For the personal protection in the car, avoid touching the metal parts in the car when a lightning strike occurs, and try not to use the electronic equipment inside the car, such as GPS, car phone, CD, etc. It is also best to stop and wait for the lightning to stop by the roadside. To avoid causing problems with the car's electronic system. And if the rain is too heavy to park or rain or rain, it is best not to park the vehicle under the billboards of big trees or buildings.

Humidity more than 40 cm car can still ?

In the rainy days, it will be difficult to encounter the accumulation of stagnant water. When the accumulated water is too deep, it will be unable to pass. Otherwise, it may damage the engine.

Technical experts said that the deep-water vehicle collision is very dangerous, and often leads to serious engine damage. In severe cases, it can also lead to water in the gearbox and damage to the body's electrical equipment. Therefore, when passing through the surface of the river, it must be carefully adopted depending on the actual situation. In general, the accumulated water is less than half the height of the tire. Observe whether the other wading vehicles pass through smoothly to determine whether there are deep pits or obstacles on the ground. If the accumulated water exceeds half the height of the tire, it cannot be wading through because the car's exhaust pipe is at this height. Forcibly passing through the exhaust pipe may cause the water to enter the water, causing serious engine damage. If data are used to describe the wading safe altitude, heavy heavy trucks are 100 to 120 cm, ordinary large trucks are 45 to 80 cm, off-road jeep is 60 cm, and minibuses cannot exceed 40 cm.

When wading in the car, ensure that the engine is running normally and the steering and brake mechanism is sensitive. Hang the low speed block 1 or 2 to open the water in a smooth manner, avoid the big throttle or rush to prevent splashes from splashing into the engine and turn off the engine. To stabilize the throttle, pass through the water all at once and try to avoid mid-shift or sharp turns. Try to look at a fixed target in the distance while driving. Hold the steering wheel in both hands and go straight ahead. Don't look at the currents or waves to avoid squinting the line of sight and causing accidents when the vehicle deviates from the normal route. Another thing to keep in mind is that if there is a car wading in front of you, it is best not to follow it in order to prevent the front vehicle from stopping due to a fault, forcing you to dilemma in the water. If you are engulfing in fire, do not restart the engine.

Rainstorm days driving tips

Rainy days try not to walk near the sidewalk

In the bustling area of ​​urban transportation, traffic is crowded and, in addition to heavy rain, the line of sight will be very blurred. It should be noted that special attention should be paid to pedestrians on the roadside during heavy rain. Since there are many people taking a taxi on a rainy day, it is advisable not to approach the sidewalk when driving, and to slow down if walking on a sidewalk.

If you are driving in a dark, rainy weather, the neon lights and other lights on both sides of the road will have an impact on the owner's vision. At this time, we must follow the principle of “Let's not give way to speed,” and we must reduce the speed when passing through corners, slopes, and narrow roads. If the driver’s incoming light is dazzling and the driver cannot distinguish the road, try to slow down or stop by. Do not shoot with strong light. In the same way, they also try not to open the headlights to others and affect traffic safety. If the rain is too heavy, you can also use the double jump lights to indicate the vehicles driving around.

Let's not give way

Be careful to pass the repair section

Stormy days are generally darker, and there is no way to judge the depth of water on the road. Chengdu is currently building subways, and some of the roads have potholes. On sunny days, the pits can be avoided. Once it is raining, the pits are filled with rain, and accidentally the wheel will be injured by these traps. Therefore, in the road section, avoid crossing the mafia.

Be careful when the car slides at low speed

In the event of strong storms, even the best wipers will not be able to scrape the rain on the front windshield in time. We must reduce the speed and open the low beam and fog lights. If you are driving on the inner ring or on an elevated road, pay attention to increasing the distance with the car to avoid the risk of rear-end collision. Due to the wet and slippery surface of the rain, if the speed is too fast or overtaking at this time, the steering wheel can easily cause the wheels to slip.
