Driving at night with caution is the key to mastering driving skills

Driving at night mainly refers to the process of driving a vehicle on the road after dusk to before dawn the next day. Different vehicles have different driving characteristics. However, driving at night still needs to be treated with caution. Mastering the necessary driving skills will help improve the safety of driving.

How to tell road traffic conditions

When the speed of the car automatically slows down and the engine sound becomes dull, the driving resistance has increased and the car is going uphill Or drive into a soft road; on the contrary, it means that the driving resistance is reduced or the car is going downhill.

When the lights leave the road, be aware that there may be sharp bends or large potholes ahead, or that an uphill vehicle is driving up the top of the hill.

The color of the ground can reflect the condition of the road surface. Generally speaking, white is stagnant water, black is potholes, and normal roads are mostly gray. Usually go gray instead of white, and slow down when encountering black.

Accurate judgment of traffic

When a light suddenly appears at the intersection, it means that there is a car coming.

When the current taillight changes from dark to bright, from high to low, it generally indicates that the following distance is shortening. When you can clearly see the license plate number on the rear of the car in front, it usually means that you are following the car too closely and you must keep your distance.

Usage of nighttime driving lights

Before starting, you should turn on the lights to see the road clearly, and turn off the lights after the vehicle has stopped.

On streets with street lights and suburban roads, when the driving speed is within 30km/h, you can use low beams or small lights; on streets and roads without street lights, the driving speed is more than 30km/h high beams should be used.

Driving at night on city roads

Drivers should concentrate and concentrate on driving without the slightest slack and sloppiness. Due to the rapid acceleration of the car, the driver must strictly control the speed of the car, follow the traffic signals and drive naturally along the flow of traffic, and must not overtake or change lanes at will.

Watch out for pedestrians and bicycles crossing the road. In busy urban traffic areas, pedestrians or bicycles often pass through the gaps in the fleet, and drivers must make correct judgments on the dynamics of surrounding pedestrians and vehicles.

Because of poor visibility at night, you should always pay attention to the vehicle ahead and keep your distance to avoid emergency braking of the vehicle ahead. Generally do not brake suddenly without emergency, to prevent rear-end collision.
