How do drivers communicate with each other when driving a vehicle on the road? In fact, in addition to honking the horn, you can also use "code words" such as headlights. So how much do you know about the "headlight code words" commonly used by experienced drivers? Veteran drivers said that novices will not suffer any loss after learning the skill.
First, the headlights flash once; this light language is often only used as a reminder. To give a simple example, if you need to overtake the vehicle in front, you usually have two options at this time. The first is to blow the horn. If the car in front is more airtight, or there is a loud DJ playing in the car, it may be difficult for the car in front to notice it just by honking the horn. At this time, we can flash the headlights once to let the vehicle in front notice that a vehicle behind is overtaking. Or it can be used to remind the car in front that the light is green when the car in front is distracted while waiting for a red light.
Second, the headlights flash twice; this kind of light language also has a strong communication effect, and you must learn it, otherwise you may suffer a loss. The headlights flash twice, which is often used when meeting cars. If you are meeting at night and the other vehicle has its high beams on, you can flash the headlights twice to remind the other car owner to turn off the high beams. If you are driving on a narrow road during the day, you can also flash your headlights twice to tell the other person "I go first." Of course, if you see the other vehicle's two headlights flashing, it is still recommended that you stop and wait, denying that there is a message transmission error, and a close contact will be tragic.
Third, the headlights flash three times; the code word for the headlights flashing three times does not appear often, but if you encounter it on the road, don’t panic. This is a kind reminder from other car owners. Because the headlights flash three times, it often reminds you that there is something wrong with the vehicle, such as the trunk is not closed properly, or the tire is flat. And if you encounter a vehicle that flashes its headlights three times at you, it is best to pull over, check the condition of the vehicle, and then continue driving after confirming that it is correct. Otherwise, driving a vehicle with potential safety hazards on the road is likely to cause a traffic accident, resulting in casualties and property losses. Okay, this is the secret code of the headlights, has everyone learned it?
