What lights should I turn on when driving in rainy weather?

Headlights or front fog lights should be turned on.

1. When the rain is relatively heavy, the rain itself will obstruct our vision, and at the same time, the water on the road will be brought up by the rolling tires of the car in front, forming a water mist, which will also have a great impact on the line of sight, so we should turn on the headlights or front fog lights.

2. Some people think that turning on the fog lights will shake the car in front, but in fact, as long as your fog lights are reasonably designed, this situation will not occur, because the fog lights themselves are not designed for lighting, and their beams are scattered, so they look bright but not dazzling.

3. Only when the rain is very, very heavy to turn on the rear fog lights, because our red tail lights themselves have very good penetration, the general heavy rain can not block its light, the brightness of the rear fog lights is very high, is used to penetrate the dense fog, in the general rainy day is easy to shake to the rear car, if the rear car driver's line of sight is affected, then our own safety can not be guaranteed. Don't use double flashing The so-called "double flash" is a hazard warning light, which every car has, and the switch is a triangle with two sets together. The abuse of double flashes is quite common in the country, but it should only be used in very dangerous situations, such as when there is an accident ahead, or if you need to stop temporarily on the main road.

We should not use it in the general driving process, if the abuse of the double flash, it is likely to send wrong information to the surrounding vehicles, leading to danger.

How do you turn on the lights when driving in the rain? Teach you the right way, novices don't understand, turn on the wrong light to harm others and yourself.

Headlights, marker lights and rear position lights should be turned on.

The most important thing when driving in rainy days is to keep other cars able to see you at all times, even if the rain is so heavy that you can't see the outline of the body clearly, but you can also judge which position is a car through the lights, which is safer for yourself and others.

Different lights are used for different rainfall:

1.Use the width indicator light when the rainfall is light:

When the rain is light or just starting to rain, marker lights can help. In the process of gradual change of rain, it is obviously incorrect to use the width indicator light from beginning to end, and the light should be switched reasonably according to the size of the rain.

2.Use headlights or front fog lamps when it rains heavily

When the rain is heavier, the rain itself will obstruct our vision, and at the same time, the water on the road will be brought up by the rolling tires of the car in front of you, forming a mist, which will also have a great impact on the line of sight, so you should turn on the headlights or front fog lights. At this time, the main function of the front branch lamp is not to illuminate, and the front accompaniment is to improve its own visibility.

3.Use the rear fog lamp during heavy rain:

The design brightness of the rear fog lamps is very high, and its dazzling degree is no less than that of the high beams, so if it is not particularly rainy, the wipers are used to the fastest gear, do not turn on casually. Its presence can make up for the lack of brightness of the taillights, improve the visibility of the vehicles behind you, and help the rear cars judge the distance. The rear fog lamps are very bright and are used to penetrate dense fog.

Driving in rainy days requires the lights to be turned on according to the amount of rainfall, which can be divided into the following three situations:

1. Width indicator lights should be used for small rainfall

When it first rains and the sky is overcast but the visibility is good, you should use a wide indicator light.

2. If the rainfall is heavy, the headlights or front fog lights should be turned on

When the rain is heavier, the rain itself will obstruct the view, and at the same time, the water on the road will be carried up by the rolling tires of the car in front, forming a mist, which will also have a great impact on the line of sight, so you should turn on the headlights or front fog lights.

3. The rear fog lamp can be turned on during heavy rain

Only turn on the rear fog lights when the rain is very heavy, because the red tail lights of the car themselves have a strong penetrating power, and the general heavy rain cannot block its light, and the brightness of the rear fog lights is very high and can be used to penetrate dense fog.

Precautions for driving in rainy weather:

1. Regardless of the width of the road and the condition of the road surface, slow down when driving in the rain, pay attention to the vehicles in front and behind, and prepare to take various emergency measures in advance.

2. If the driving vision is obstructed in rainy days, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining the distance between the vehicles on the track, observe the distance between the front and rear vehicles at any time, and increase the safety distance.

3. Pay attention to pedestrians, slow down, avoid patiently, choose a safe place to park if necessary, and rush with pedestrians and bicycles impatiently.

4. In the event of heavy rain or heavy rain, some sections of the road will be seriously waterlogged in a short period of time, if you have to wade in the water, you should use the low gear to pass at a constant speed.

If the vehicle is turned off in the middle of the journey, do not try to start again, blind start may lead to the engine scrapped, the vehicle should be turned off in time to contact the repair shop, after the maintenance personnel on-site inspection of the vehicle to determine that there is no problem before it can be started again.

Car lighting is one of the most important components of the car, and it has many functions. For example, driving on a rainy day relies on lights, so what lights should be turned on when driving on a rainy day?

What lights should I turn on when driving in the rain?

In fact, there are relevant regulations on lights used in rainy days in the traffic law: "When street lights are on at night, or when driving in foggy, rainy, snowy, dusty, hail and other conditions with low visibility, you should turn on the headlights, marker lights, and rear marker lights." "So the most important thing about driving in the rain is to let other cars see you all the time.

Even if it rains heavily and you can't see the outline of the car clearly, you can tell that there is a car in that location by the lights, which is safer for yourself and others.

1.Marker lights (or daytime running lights).

When the rain is light or just starting to rain, the marker light can work, but if the rain becomes heavier, the light intensity of the ordinary halogen marker light is not enough. However, some models now use LED daytime running lights instead of marker lights (Audi A3 below), which have good light intensity and can cope with heavier rain.

2.Headlights. When the rainfall is moderate or light, it is necessary to turn on the low beam or front fog lights at the same time, collectively known as the headlamp.

At this time, the main function of the headlights is not to illuminate, but to improve their visibility. For example, in the picture below, the vehicle in the rearview mirror has its low beam and front fog lights turned on, which is particularly conspicuous in the rearview mirror.

3.Rear fog lights.

The rear fog lamps are designed to be very bright, and the glare is no less than that of the high beams. So, if the rain is particularly heavy, the wipers will use the fastest gear and don't open it casually. Its presence can make up for the lack of brightness of the taillights, improve the visibility of the rear vehicles to you, and help the rear vehicles judge the distance.

4.About hazard warning lights (i.e. double flashing lights).

Many people drive on a rainy day and turn on the double flashing lights, and their consciousness is not bad, but in fact, the lights are wrong, and there are hidden dangers. The scientific name of the double flashing lights is "hazard warning lights", and they are only used when your car breaks down suddenly, or if there is a traffic accident ahead, or in other very dangerous situations. It is not designed for rain warnings.

On the one hand, when the dual flashing lights are turned on, the turn signals of some vehicles will not work; On the other hand, the double flashing lights have flashing intervals, and when they don't, your car goes back to "stealth", which is also very unsafe.

In fact, using lights on rainy days does not require any complicated operations, but most people do not get the correct guidance when learning to drive, and do not develop good habits after driving. The use of lights in rainy days can ensure safer driving and effectively reduce the possibility of accidents, which is even more important than safety features such as ESP, airbags, and active braking, which need to be kept in mind.

The hazards of driving without lights on rainy days.

Driving without lights on rainy days will directly affect the vehicle's judgment of the surrounding situation. If a nearby vehicle changes lanes or overtakes without your knowledge, it is likely to cause a rear-end collision.

At the same time, according to China's "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", "motor vehicles driving at night, without street lights, poor lighting, or under low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, hail, etc., should turn on the headlights, marker lights, and tail lights." ”
