For people who drive, in addition to having good driving skills, they must also learn how to use car lights. Especially on the road at night, our cars will have some common "light languages", so do you understand these simple "light languages"? I believe that even some experienced drivers don’t understand it very well. Today I will talk to you about the “light language” issue on cars.
For driving at night, the visibility is definitely not as good as during the day, so when driving, you need to use some "light language" to "remind" and "warn" other vehicles to ensure your own driving safety. For example, the headlights flash once, twice, or three times. In fact, the number of flashes of the headlights is different, which also represents different meanings. Let’s get to the point directly.
The first one is to flash the headlights
When you are at a traffic light intersection, you sometimes encounter this situation. The light has obviously turned green, but the car in front does not move at all. At this time, we only need to flash the headlights once. I believe that the car in front will definitely realize that it is time to leave, which can serve as a reminder.
The second type, the headlights flash twice
When driving at night, when we find that the oncoming car has its high beam on and the light is very dazzling, we only need to flash the headlight twice, believing that the other vehicle will switch to low beam. If the other party does not switch to low beam, as long as you change to high beam, and then switch to low beam after a few seconds, the opposite driver will usually realize that he has to change to low beam.
The third type, the headlights flash three times
Flashing the headlights three times is usually a warning to us from the other vehicle. If we find the headlights flashing three times from the oncoming vehicle, we need to pay attention to the problem of our own vehicle. Generally speaking, if there is an oil leak in the car, the trunk, or the door is not closed properly, you have to react quickly and deal with it in time.
The fourth type, flashing lights when merging
Under normal circumstances, when we want to overtake and merge into the lane, we usually turn on the turn signal to tell the car behind us to pay attention. If the car behind you flashes its headlights once at this time, it means that the car behind you agrees to your lane change. If the car behind you flashes its headlights continuously at this time, it is recommended not to change lanes.
The fifth type, the brake light flashes intermittently
This situation generally occurs when the vehicle in front encounters a pedestrian or obstacle and needs to slow down to avoid it. The intermittent braking is used to remind the vehicle behind that it needs to slow down and maintain a safe distance. Generally, rear-end collisions are caused by following a car too closely, braking suddenly, the braking distance is too short, or there is not enough reaction time.
So, do you also understand the above types of car "light languages"? Will it also be used? Welcome everyone to forward and learn together and popularize car knowledge, starting from you and me!
