Tips for driving in rainy days How to avoid car skidding

Precautions for driving in rainy weather:

1. Maintain a good and broad vision.

In addition to driving cautiously when driving on the road in rainy weather, it is necessary to turn on the wipers in time, and turn on the low beam and anti-fog lights when the weather is dark. If there is frost on the front windshield, turn on the air conditioner and blow the cold air into the front windshield; If there is frost on the rear windshield, turn on the rear windshield heater to eliminate the frost as soon as possible so that you can't see the vehicle behind you clearly.

2. Prevent the wheels from slipping.

When driving in the rain, a "lubricant" is formed between the rain on the road surface and the tires, which makes the braking performance of the car worse and prone to side skidding. Therefore, the driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands in a balanced manner, keep driving in a straight line and at a low speed, and when it is necessary to turn, he should slowly apply the brakes to prevent the tires from locking up and causing the vehicle to slip sideways.

3. Drive slowly in low gear.

Experienced drivers know that no matter how wide or narrow the road is, good or bad road conditions, try to use second or third gear when driving in the rain, and the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers or 40 kilometers per hour. When you need to stop, try to slow down and brake lightly about 100 meters in advance, so that the oncoming vehicles behind have enough emergency preparation time.

Fourth, prevent wading and trapping.

When the car passes through the road surface with water accumulation or overpass, deep groove tunnel, etc., it should first stop to check the depth of the water, the water depth exceeds the exhaust pipe, which is easy to cause the vehicle to stall; The water depth exceeds the bumper and it is easy to get water. Do not cross ditches and puddles at high speed. This will cause splashing, which will increase the actual wading depth, which can easily cause water ingress into the engine.

5. Do not start the vehicle again after turning off the engine.

Once the engine is flooded and stalled, never start the vehicle again, and should leave the car in place and wait to be towed away. The most feared thing in the operation of the car is to suck water into the combustion chamber, because once the water enters the combustion chamber, due to the incompressibility of the water, it will cause the fatal hazard of the top valve or top piston connecting rod of the engine in the work; At this time, the damage caused is very serious, and the engine overhaul is no longer inevitable.

6. Pay attention to following the car and keep the distance between the cars.

In particular, don't follow the big car too closely, first, it will block the line of sight; The second is that the large car can pass the stagnant water and the small car may not be able to pass, and the large car is easy to splash the water waves, so that the small car will suffer.

7. Pay attention to the pedestrians around you.

Due to the fact that pedestrians hold umbrellas in the rain and cyclists wear ponchos, their vision, hearing, and reaction are restricted, and sometimes they turn sharply in order to rush across the road, and often panic and slip when the vehicle is approaching, which catches the driver off guard. In this case, the driver should slow down, be patient and avoid, and choose a safe place to stop if necessary, and do not rush to pedestrians and bicycles.

8. Turn on the lights in a timely and accurate manner.

In the event of a rainstorm, the headlights, marker lights and rear position lights should be turned on, and the vehicle should be driven off the road or parked in a safe place.

According to the data survey, the probability of driving a vehicle in rainy days is nearly 5 times higher than usual.

Why do cars skid on rainy days?

In the process of driving, the tires will be in contact with the road surface to produce friction, which has a certain economic impact on the fuel consumption of the car, and is also the guarantee to ensure the safe driving of the car. The greater the frictional contact between the tire and the road surface, the greater the adsorption force of the tire on the ground from the side, ensuring the grip of the car on the ground.

On rainy days, there is a layer of water stains on the ground that reduces the friction between the tires and the ground, thus reducing the grip of the car. When the tires reach their limit, it causes the car tires to slip and lose control of the direction.

How to prevent car tires from slipping?

1.Keep your distance and control your speed.

Controlling the safe distance between cars allows you to react even if you slip, and controlling your speed can prevent your tires from skidding to the limit.

2.Try to avoid overtaking, control the steering wheel .

Because the sail is slippery on rainy days, high-speed driving will accelerate the tires to the limit, so try to avoid frequent lane changes and rapid lane changes, which will increase the probability of tire slippage.

3.Don't press the accelerator too hard.

Pressing the throttle lightly and accelerating hard can also cause the tires to quickly reach the limit and slip.

Handling of skidding: When encountering skidding, slow down the throttle and control the direction in time. In general, tires regain grip after 1-2 seconds of slipping.

Install snow chains. If you don't open it again, you open it slowly.

1. If you are driving a rear-wheel drive rock slide car, don't be busy braking when the turn occurs when the side slip occurs, continue to play the wheels in the direction you want to go, and at the same time release the accelerator, see the direction of the front of the car slowly turn around, and then follow the body to swing back to the straight direction.

2. If the car can't turn when it should turn, you can still use the handbrake to adjust, while maintaining the direction you should play when turning, step on the accelerator, the body will naturally turn over, immediately put down the handbrake, turn the throttle light, and at the same time return to the steering wheel, and your car can move forward smoothly.
