Under what circumstances are car lights used?
Below, the editor will summarize how to use various car lights and how to correctly operate and use car lights in special environments.
Headlight
It is often referred to as headlights, which are mainly used for driving at night and are divided into high beam and low beam. When overtaking, switch between high and low beams, and when passing another car, switch to low beams. Use headlights in a civilized manner and be responsible for others and yourself.
Turn signal
When driving and encountering turns or merging, it will be used to remind other pedestrians and vehicles to pay attention, and double flashing lights will be used in emergency situations. The turn signal should be turned on in advance to give the third party enough time to react.
brake light
The red light will illuminate as soon as the brakes are applied to remind the vehicle behind to slow down or stop to prevent rear-end collisions.
reversing light
When the reverse gear is engaged, the reversing light will automatically light up to remind third parties to pay attention to safety.
fog lights
Fog lights must be turned on in foggy weather. Due to the high penetrability of fog lights, the visibility of the vehicle to third parties on the opposite side is improved, allowing them to avoid and drive safely. Turn off the fog lights promptly after parking to prevent damage to the fog lights.
The width light
The width indicator lights are distributed at the four corners of the car body, making it easier for third parties to distinguish the outline of the car body and increasing driving safety.
People communicate by language, and cars communicate by headlights. Let’s get to know the language of these car lights~
Learn 5 commonly used light languages to politely remind riders
1. The vehicle in front does not move when the light turns green.
Light language: The headlights flash once
Many times when waiting for a car at an intersection, the light has turned green but the car in front has not moved. Although the horn is the most direct, but when encountering road sections where honking is prohibited or other situations where honking is not allowed, just flash the headlights as a reminder. If there is still no movement, flash the headlights again. Do not flash the headlights continuously. This is disrespectful to people and can easily cause the driver of the car in front to become rebellious.
2. Encountered by strong lights at night
Light language: Two headlights remind, double flashes indicate dissatisfaction
What should you do if you turn on high beam while driving at night? It's very simple. I flash my headlights twice to remind the other party that they have hit me. If the other party is indifferent, the rider can show dissatisfaction by turning on the double-bounce lights and tell the other party, "You are flashing me, please switch to low beam."
3. Merge when encountering vehicles
Light language: The headlights flashing means "Agree", the headlights flashing continuously means "Reject"
When a vehicle is forced to merge on the road, the headlights flash once to indicate agreement, and the headlights flash several times to indicate disagreement.
4. Found something wrong with the neighboring car
Light language: The headlights flash three times
When you encounter a vehicle with a breakdown or other driving hazards on the road, such as a flat tire or spilled cargo, blindly honking the horn to remind you may not be effective. At this time, it will flash three times to indicate a reminder.
5. The car behind you follows too closely
Light language: Brake lights illuminate periodically
If the vehicle behind you is following the car too closely and you feel there is a safety hazard, you can continuously apply the brakes lightly to make the rear brake lights flash continuously to remind you that the vehicle behind you is following the car too closely.
The Yangjiang Public Security Traffic Police has compiled and collected these "Light Languages" and hopes that drivers can use them as a reference to learn to use vehicle lights correctly and drive safely and civilly!
