What should we pay attention to when driving light trucks in rainy weather?

How much weight can the vehicle be considered to be lightweight? The "light" as defined by China's vehicle specifications is less than or equal to 6000kg in total mass. So some drivers say that light trucks are as good as cars, so when they encounter rain, then they are. Everyone knows that rainy days are a season prone to accidents, especially for novice drivers. When driving a light truck , it is necessary to pay more attention to details in the rainy days so as to ensure the safety of people on the road.

One: Real-time weather forecast and climate change before going out, so that it is convenient and timely to prepare for rain protection, but also remember to prepare anti-skid equipment. Check the brakes, wipers, lights, horns, steering gear and other parts before leaving the car. Confirm that the technical conditions are in order to get out of the car and drive.

Two: The largest “natural enemies” of the engine and the oil road can be water except for the fire. If it is a vehicle that has been soaked by rain and a vehicle that is turned off in stagnant water, if it turns off when wading, do not try to start the fire again. . Pay attention to check the hood for leaks and prevent the rain from intruding into the electrical equipment. Trucks also have to check the cargo coverage.

Three: The weapon in the rain is a wiper, which can improve the visual conditions. However, if your wiper just fails, it should be stopped and repaired. If it cannot be repaired for a while, it should be controlled within a safe range or during parking. And the wiper is best changed every year!

Four: In rainy days, the speed of the vehicle should be slowed down as appropriate, and the distance between the front and the rear should be increased more than normal. It is best not to overtake. In case of circumstances, it is necessary to take timely measures, not to turn and emergency brake to prevent the vehicle from sliding sideways.

Five: In the long rain weather, it should be noted that the looseness and collapse of the road base may occur on a solid road surface. Do not pass water gutters or puddles at high speed. This will cause splashes, which will increase the depth of actual wading, and will easily lead to engine flooding. It is not advisable to drive or park on the side of Laoshan Road, Dike Road or along the river.

Sixth: Thunderstorm days should pay close attention to the dynamics of pedestrians. We must guard against pedestrians running around and cyclists suddenly slipping.

Seven: Check the road before flooding and confirm that there is no danger to pass. Check the braking performance after passing the water. If the braking efficiency is low, the speed should be slowed down and the road should be dry for one hour with braking.

Eight: Some drivers said that it was raining just to help the car wash the car, but also save the cost of car wash, although the dust on the surface of the vehicle was washed by the rain, but if the car is not washed in time after the rain, it will cause great damage to the paint. Rainwater often contains impurities and acidic substances. After the vehicle is wetted by rain, it will not be washed for a long time. Acidic substances will corrode the glossy film on the exterior of the paint. The paint will become overshadowed. In addition, some fine asphalt particles, gravel dirt, etc., are also easily absorbed in the rain paint. A long time will leave indelible scars on the paint surface. Therefore, it is recommended that the riders must clean the vehicle in time after the rain.

Light-duty trucks are vehicles that some people choose to initially load, not only at reasonable prices but also at a reasonable price. Therefore, when you are driving in rainy weather, you must pay more attention to prevent vehicles from entering the maintenance period.
