Precautions for driving at night

Many drivers are worried about driving at night. This is because the sight distance at night is limited and the road conditions in the city are relatively easy to judge. If you drive for an outing without the help of lights, you may encounter unexpected situations. What should I pay attention to when driving at night? What are the precautions for driving at night?

Precautions for driving at night

Long-distance driving at night: keep a clear head

If it is a long-distance driving, especially driving alone at night, it will be monotonous and easy to get tired. Many people will easily fall asleep and let the steering wheel deviate, causing traffic accidents. Therefore, long-distance driving must keep a clear head and avoid fatigue driving. If you are tired from driving, stop for a walk to give your brain a rest and clear your head. If there are companions around, try to let them talk.

City driving at night: don't turn on the high beam.

When driving in the city, be careful not to turn on the high beam, which is used in the wilderness suburbs. In addition, in the alley, when there are cyclists or pedestrians coming, it is best to turn off the headlights and have a small light to see the road clearly.

If the oncoming car does not use the low beam, it should immediately slow down and send a signal to the other side by changing the high beam and the low beam. If the other person still hasn't changed, and you feel dazzled and can't see the road ahead clearly, then simply slow down or even stop on the spot and wait a little. There is no need to shoot it angrily with the high beam.

In addition, although the city road lighting equipment is very good, don't turn off the lights. Car headlights not only has the function of lighting, but more importantly, it can let others see you.

Driving in the wild at night: learn to judge the road conditions

After a day's work, driving at night is prone to visual fatigue, and it is more difficult to judge the road surface and road conditions, which is prone to traffic accidents. Therefore, driving at night should learn to judge road conditions in many ways, especially driving in the wild. For example, in the night without moonlight, the road surface is generally gray-black, and the road surface is black; It will be darker where there are puddles or potholes. Therefore, the general old driver summed up that the key point of driving at night is "gray is not black".

On the Panshan Highway, if you see a light flashing towards you in the dark mountain road, it means that there is a car coming from the opposite side. At this time, you should observe the road ahead to see if the width is enough, and make ideological and practical preparations for the meeting in advance. According to the sound of the engine, you can also judge the road conditions. For example, when you are driving normally, you suddenly feel that the engine sound becomes dull, indicating that the driving resistance is increasing, and the car may be uphill or on a soft road; If you feel that the engine sound becomes brisk, it means that the resistance is reduced during driving, and the car may be driving downhill.
