Driving in heavy rain

First, in rainstorms, self-driving cars should be minimized as they can easily turn off in the rapids. In the unlikely event of a flameout, they should try to avoid opening the doors and get off the bus without assistance. Quickly push the car out of the water, pull it out and wait for the repair shop to help. If the vehicle is damaged due to forced start, the insurance company may refuse to pay compensation.

Second, if you encounter heavy rain during driving, be sure to see the road conditions. Generally there are waves and vortices on the water surface where there are likely to be larger stones or obstacles, and where the water is calmer, the water is generally deeper. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire or the outlet of the submerged exhaust pipe, the passenger car cannot pass and can only go around. In the process of wading, a low gear below the second gear should be used. If possible, no parking, no gear shifting, and no acceleration are required. After exiting the stagnant area, the throttle must be increased to slow down at a low speed for a period of time. Out.

Third, drive in the storm, turn the steering wheel should be eased. Because the rain on the road is mixed with mud on the road surface, the road surface is like a layer of oil, it is very slippery, and the steering wheel is too quick to turn and cause a roll-over accident.

Another cause of accidents in heavy rain days is unclear sight. So driving in the rain not only opens the air conditioner, keeps the driver's sight clear, but also turns on the headlights and fog lights to remind other vehicles to notice you.

5. Keep away from lights and high-voltage lines in stormy weather, bypass culverts, under bridges, and pits; keep away from walls, billboards, and trees to prevent accidents.
