Semi-trailer How to Correctly Use the Light Signal When Driving at Night

Driving at night, all the most headache thing is to meet the high beam opened the driver, the other does not switch when the behavior of light in the process of driving at night, the dazzling in not only makes eyes ache, also seriously affect the line of sight, actually in urban driving at night, most of the time pavement have good lighting, there is no need to drive high beam. And on the road lighting is not very ideal, the high beam opened exactly but also the important factor of induced traffic accident.

However, no matter happened during the day or the night of the accident, there are quite a number of is not know the correct use of light signal. The most common example is when driving suddenly change lanes and not make a turn, or turn to open the turn signal at the same time, make the back of the vehicle by surprise. Therefore, to learn the importance of correct use of light signal is self-evident.

Lamp myth

Error 1: urban driving for a long time the high beam

Mr Liu once passing each other in a small path, the other opened the high beam, let him not visual distance from side to side. In the case of several dozen high beam tips fruitless, Mr Liu had to patiently waiting to pass each other. But received no reply, but, he can only get off, please first close the high beam, let him pass, it was found that the man was nervous in the sweat - is a new technology "raw".

Don't mess with light traffic has become a night by the regulation of hidden dangers. Investigate its reason, in addition to the individual driver's quality is low, the vast majority of cases is a driver don't know how to use the right light. Learned, now some driving schools teaching is just used to cope with the examination, the coach only roughly introduce before students first get on the car's switch, introduces general also relate only to turn signal lights. As a result, some people don't even get a driver's license after the proper use of car lights. In addition, there are a lot of people think that light is as bright as possible, think that as long as their own lights lit, oneself is safe.

The driver should be how to correctly use the high beam? When there is no street lamp or lamps lighting the bad roads, in order to see the road in a long distance, usually using high beam. But when passing if was still on the high beam, due to the high beam light is strong, and can according to the 150 meters, and leads to a head on the driver's vision in blind area, can't see road conditions, easily lead to traffic accidents. In addition, the fog had better not use high beam, due to the high beam irradiation Angle is easy to result in great scattering of light, it instead of penetration in the fog of the worst; Then it is best to dipped headlight, slowed down.

Error 2: fog lamps have been opened

In addition to the long-term use of high beam in urban driving, normal weather fog lamps will also be fully open will also bring to other drivers. Fog lamps to use normal weather conditions like a open high beam will make yourself look not clear before and after the traffic road conditions, accidents of risk is greatly increased.

As a driver, you should always remember as long as the one on the road, you and the other drivers and pedestrians on the road of a mobile team, using light when you are wrong, others can't see the road, might be at risk, and you will therefore not safe, light person others accident caused traffic jam make you can not reach their destination on time, the person that weigh directly make you to become a party to a traffic accident. Don't think, open all the lights, put their own front as well as everything is all right. The people around you will see clearly? Everybody see clearly the road is the most important thing, please the perspective-taking once!

Mistake 3: stop, start, don't make a turn

Speak of the turn signal correct use, if no driver don't understand. But it is not. A lot of car happening bruised, collision, cause is improper use a turn signal.

How to use a turn, the traffic regulations stated bluntly: motor vehicle starting, away from the parking lot, to change lanes, turn left when the left turn signal; To the right turn to the right to change lanes and pull over the curb, must open the right turn signal. And vehicles are clear when they turn to in advance between the old and new regulations to slow down, pay attention to the sidelines, with the help of fast and slow lane rope left turn vehicles on the road ahead into the fast lane, right turning vehicles into the slow lane, and it requires turning from crossing 100 ~ 30 meters open turn signal, signal to the car.

Some drivers ignore the rules, not in advance before turning slow, don't open a turn, adjacent intersections began to turn, turn to a screeching halt was rapid, regardless of all the car speed and the driver of the strain capacity, make the car off guard.

Mistake 4: flash headlights

At the crossroads waiting for light, green light, sometimes encounter without moving vehicles. Novice may be more nervous, slow start, may be the leading driver didn't pay attention to the change of the indicator light, waiting for the red light off. At this time, the car usually adopt some measures to give each other a little reminder. Someone riding on the horn, but not only lost demeanor this restless, still might have the opposite effect. If you have some internal heat a large anyway drive slowly, deliberately, after pressure car, result everybody loses. Meet this kind of situation, crazy the horn is clearly not appropriate, we can use the flash headlights way instead of the rough on the horn. Flash headlights, often can realize the vehicles, flash if you haven't action would be to avoid continuous flash headlights, this is not respect for people, easy to cause the vehicle driver's negative feelings.

Right way

The correct one: open headlight or fog lamps in a timely manner

In the summer from time to time there will be a torrential rainstorm raid, if it is in the daytime, the sky suddenly become very dark, with pouring rain pour down, the view is very bad. At this time many vehicles on the road opened their headlights, and fog lamps, this is a very good practice, intended to improve the visibility of own vehicle, alert other vehicles or passers-by. In a fog or heavy snow weather, if the visibility is very low, also advised to do so, permission can also be appropriate honk, alert by car or passers-by. Some people used to even open the double flash in the heavy rain, it can further increase the visibility of the car, but lost the direction of the function of the tip (some vehicles have been used for turn signal priority), so in addition to vehicle tail lamp brightness is insufficient, is generally not recommended.

Correct 2: highway parking double flash open

In urban road or highway on the emergency parking area for a short stay, more and more drivers notice to open double flash warning light, alert traffic, this also is a good habit, especially in the night effect is more obvious. Because once there is a temporary parking on the highway and do not open any light signal, do not make any warning marks, was behind the sped to the rear-end collision of tragedy.

Three: correct lights have damage repair in time

Driving at night, as a child crossing the road, such as a left out of the road, because the light is not enough, from right to left straight vehicles may be hard to find out to have a car. At this time there are many drivers would double flash flash headlights or open, for the right of the vehicle to understand to their presence, so that we can effectively reduce the occurrence of danger.

Occasionally encountered such a thing: opposite to a beam of light, at first thought it was a motorcycle, is close to that I found a car headlights broken side! If again close to it by just now! This tells us that when the lights of the vehicle was damaged, be sure to repair, as early as possible and should absolutely avoid driving lights of cars on the road in the night.

Finally, I hope you in front of the car on the road, must make clear their vehicle lighting switch, don't turn on the light and turn on the light is wrong driving habits, good traffic order is depend on every traffic participants to keep.

The use of knowledge link road lighting

"Law of road traffic safety regulations on the implementation for the use of light there are clear rules, not in accordance with the provisions, use the lights will be punish 1 minute, so please the driver friends right use of your headlights.
