Driving skills for Fence Semi Trailers in rainy season

Driving in rainy season is a headache. Vehicles are more likely to break down in rainy season, and traffic accidents are common. If you want to drive safely in rainy season, you must pay attention to the following matters. Pay attention to the driving tips for Fence Semi Trailers in rainy season to avoid accidents.

1. Drive at low speed to prevent skidding

When driving in rainy days, low speed is the key. The driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands and keep driving straight and at low speed. When turning, brake slowly to avoid tire locking and causing the vehicle to skid.

2. Keep a safe distance

On slippery roads, the braking distance of a Fence Semi Trailer is about three times that of dry roads. Therefore, it is very important to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. According to the speed, at least two car bodies should be kept away to prevent rear-end collisions. If the rear car is too close, you can turn on the double flash warning lights to remind the other party.

3. Do not take risks to overtake

When driving in rainy days, do not overtake rashly even if the front car is slow. Roads are slippery in rainy days, vision is unclear, wheels are easy to slip, and accidents are very likely to occur when overtaking.

4. Use lights correctly

During rainy days, you should turn on the low beam lights, and turn on the fog lights if necessary to increase the visible range. Due to low visibility in rainy and foggy weather, turning on the fog lights is more penetrating than the double flash. After turning on the double flash, the vehicle will lose the steering prompt, and rash steering is likely to cause traffic accidents.

5. Be careful of wading sections

When passing through waterlogged roads or roads with large water overflowing under overpasses, deep trench tunnels, etc., you should stop and check the depth of the water. If the water depth exceeds the exhaust pipe, the vehicle will stall; if the water depth exceeds the bumper, the vehicle will be flooded.

6. Do not restart the engine after water ingress

Once the engine is flooded and stalled, do not restart the vehicle again. The vehicle should be left in place and wait for towing. Water entering the combustion chamber will cause the engine to push the valve or piston connecting rod, causing serious damage.

7. Pay attention to pedestrian safety

Pedestrians hold umbrellas in the rain, and cyclists wear raincoats. Their vision, hearing, and reaction will be affected. In this case, the driver should slow down, patiently avoid, and choose a safe place to stop when necessary. Do not compete with pedestrians and bicycles.

8. Master the self-rescue method when trapped

Heavy rain may cause the vehicle to be trapped. If the door cannot be opened, you can use the sharp plug of the seat headrest to knock on the side glass to escape. Those with less strength can insert the plug between the glass and the door panel, and then push it outward with force to break the glass.

Special tips

Replace the wiper regularly: The wiper should be replaced once a year. If the wiper's ability to sweep water decreases, driving in the rain will be very difficult. When driving at high speed, the wiper blade will float up, and the sweeping effect will be worse. When driving in the rain at night, the raindrops that are not scraped clean will produce reflected light under the light, seriously affecting the vision ahead.

Check the drainage of the waterproof groove: Regularly check whether the drainage of the waterproof groove at the front windshield is unobstructed to avoid water accumulation in rainy days, which may cause water intrusion into the engine and short circuit of the on-board computer.

Tire wear precautions: Regularly check the wear of the tires and replace them in time. Excessive tire wear can easily form a water film between the tread and the water surface, causing the vehicle to run off the track, skid, and increase the braking distance. When braking in rainy days, the tires need to have enough power to drain the rainwater, and it is safer to maintain a higher tire pressure.
