As one of the auto parts, car lights are not only a tool for illuminating the vehicle when driving at night, but also a reminder tool for sending various driving signals. To a large extent, it determines whether we can have a friendly "conversation" with other drivers. . Therefore, it is very necessary to understand and be familiar with the meaning of each car light signal. Next, lets explain to you the code words hidden behind the headlight signals.
01 The car behind you is following too closely
Whether you are driving on a highway or on a normal road, maintaining a certain distance between vehicles can effectively reduce risks. However, sometimes it is inevitable to encounter people who like to follow cars. The distance between the two vehicles is too close, which is not conducive to safe driving. At this time, the party being followed will often pay special attention to the situation of the vehicle behind, because they are worried that the vehicle behind will suddenly brake suddenly and hit itself, which greatly reduces the concentration of the driver of the vehicle in front. In this case, you need to turn on the brake lights intermittently.
Hidden code: The car is too close, keep an appropriate distance.
02 There is a problem with the car traveling next to you
There are often many uncertain factors when driving a car. The trunk and doors are not closed in time, there are abnormalities in the tires... many situations happen from time to time. Due to the difference in location and space, it is generally difficult for drivers or passengers in the car to observe these situations, but for other vehicles, they can be seen intuitively. If you encounter this situation, you can flash your headlights three times in succession to alert the vehicle in front.
Hidden code: There is something wrong with the vehicle, check it carefully.
03 When the light turns green, the car in front of you still doesnt move.
When waiting for a traffic light, if you are behind the waiting queue and there are other vehicles in front of you, sometimes the green light will turn on but the car in front will remain motionless. At this time, it may be because the driver of the car in front started slowly or did not notice that the green light was on in time. You can flash the headlights to remind you.
Hidden code: The green light is on, you can start.
04 Driving at night without turning off the high beam headlights
When driving at night, the use of lights is especially important, and the intersection of two vehicles requires lights to achieve it. If you encounter an oncoming vehicle with its headlights turned on while merging, it may be that the other party forgot to turn off its high beams. If you drive with high beams on for a long time at night, it will affect the vision of the driver on the opposite side when meeting other cars, which is a certain risk. If this happens, you can flash the headlights twice to remind you.
Hidden code: Remember to switch lights for better driving.
05 Traffic must merge when driving
In daily driving life, the vehicle lane changing is also a situation that most car owners will encounter. It should be noted that lane changing requires both parties to reach a consensus, otherwise it will easily cause the vehicle to be scratched or rear-ended. If you encounter a vehicle traveling with you that needs to change lanes, you can use your headlights to tell the other party whether you want to change lanes.
Hidden code: a flash of the headlights means "agree", a continuous flash of the headlights means "reject"
