I believe that many novice drivers have been "flashed" by someone's headlights when they first started on the road. At this time, you must not think that the other party is also a "newbie" and, like you, accidentally performed unnecessary or wrong operations. Because this kind of light is usually a communication signal sent by "old drivers", often hinting at the other party's next behavior, or expressing a warning to you. If you cannot understand these car light codes well, you will easily cause a traffic accident.
1. The headlights flash once
Flashing your headlights is usually more common when waiting for traffic lights. When the green light is on but the car in front has no sign of starting, you can flash your headlights to alert the car in front. If it is driving, it means that the car behind thinks that the car in front is driving too slowly and is ready to overtake. Appeal situations are often accompanied by horn prompts.
2. The headlights flash twice
When meeting another car, if the high-beam headlights of the oncoming vehicle are too dazzling and cause inconvenience to your driving, you can flash the headlights twice to remind the oncoming vehicle to switch to low-beam headlights. When you receive such a light signal, you should switch from high beam to low beam as soon as possible to avoid driving danger. Because we tend to only turn on high beam lighting when the ambient light is very poor, such as at night or on rainy days. Therefore, when pedestrians and oncoming vehicles leave, it is recommended to turn the high beam lights back on immediately to ensure driving safety.
3. The headlights flash three times
When we find that there is a problem or malfunction with the car in front (the trunk is not closed properly, a certain tire is under-inflated, there is an oil leak, etc.), we can flash the lights three times in a row to kindly remind the car in front. When we receive such a signal ourselves, we should park the car in a safe location as soon as possible, then get out of the car and check.
4. Intermittent brake lights
When you find that the car behind you is following too closely, you can lightly tap the brakes intermittently to remind the car behind you to keep the distance. At the same time, do not brake suddenly to avoid rear-end collisions.
5. Turn on double flash
When your car breaks down, you can turn on the left and right turn signals and have them flash at the same time to warn others. When we find a traffic accident ahead or a breakdown of the vehicle in front while driving, we can also turn on the double flash to remind the vehicle behind to pay attention.
In addition, when the car in front of us wants to change lanes into our lane, we can express our agreement by slowing down and flashing our headlights. Two clicks means rejection.
These car light code words are not explicitly stipulated, nor are they included in the civilized lighting rules of driver's license training, but a tacit understanding formed by drivers and friends during long-term driving. In addition, there are some signals sent to us by the night environment that require our attention.
1. When the vehicle headlights illuminate the asphalt road and show a gray road, it refers to a normal road surface and you can drive on it with confidence.
2. When you see a white reflected light on the road ahead, it means there is water on the road. If you don’t know the depth, it is best to slow down and go around, or pass cautiously and slowly.
3. When the road ahead is dark, it means there are potholes on the road, the road conditions are bad, and the headlights cannot return, so it is recommended to take a detour. If you must pass, you must slow down and drive carefully to avoid scratching the chassis or sinking the wheels, causing unnecessary damage to your car.
Now, all novice car owners can understand the signals of the car lights~ Remember to learn to use them skillfully, in order to bring convenience to our driving~
