Language is a tool for communication, and this is true for the complex language of humans, as well as the simple calls of other animals that express emotions. Exchange and communication allow us to understand each other, generate trust and avoid disagreements. In fact, light language is also a commonly used communication language between drivers. Since there is no direct communication tool between two cars, the turning on and flashing of different car lights has derived special meanings. The flashing lights represent driving. Members’ kind reminders, thanks, recognition, or disapproval. Have you ever encountered other drivers’ lights while driving? Can you guess the meaning of the other party's lantern language? If the lantern language is still a riddle to you, then in this issue, we will decipher it for you.
1. The most common lantern language
Many lights on the car have prompt meanings, which are used to remind other vehicles and passers-by of the car's ongoing or upcoming actions, such as left and right turn signals, brake lights, and double flashing lights. There are also position lights, license plate lights, daytime running lights, low beam lights, high beam lights, front and rear fog lights, etc. for lighting or special purposes.
The most commonly used light language is the turn signal that must be turned on when we turn or change lanes. Note that some cities stipulate that the turn signal must light up for more than 3 seconds to fully remind nearby vehicles. You cannot change lanes immediately after turning on the light, and you cannot change continuously. road. When a moving vehicle wants to pull over, it should turn on the turn signal in the corresponding direction to prompt the vehicle behind "I'm going to pull over." When a vehicle parked on the roadside starts, it should turn on the turn signal on the other side to prompt other vehicles "My car." To leave, you need to merge."
When we press the brake pedal to brake, the brake light comes on at the rear of the car. If you are driving too fast and see in the rearview mirror that the car behind you is following too closely, and the car in front shows signs of slowing down, you can apply the brakes continuously and light up the brake lights to alert the car behind you. After the vehicle behind sees the brake light of the vehicle in front come on, it will judge the current vehicle condition on its own and take contingency measures such as slowing down and widening the distance.
Double flashing lights are also called hazard warning flashing lights. As the name suggests, they are used when a vehicle encounters an emergency. When a vehicle breaks down or encounters an accident or other dangerous situation on the road, it needs to light up its double flashing lights to alert the vehicle behind it; when it encounters extreme weather with low visibility while driving, such as heavy fog on a highway with extremely low visibility, it must Turn on the dual flash lights as a warning reminder.
In rainy and foggy weather with low visibility, you must also turn on the front and rear fog lights and position lights. Fog lights have high penetrating ability and can penetrate rain and fog. The front fog lights can help you illuminate the environment ahead, and the rear fog lights can help you illuminate the environment ahead. The light can remind the vehicle behind that "there is a car ahead, please keep a distance". Note that in extreme weather, whether you are on a highway or an ordinary road, you must slow down and drive slowly. When necessary, in addition to turning on the fog lights, you must also turn on the double flashers, and you must not turn on the high beams.
Other car lights, such as side lights, daytime running lights, and license plate lights have corresponding prompts.
2. Conventional lantern language
In addition to regular light signals, have you ever encountered reminders such as flashing headlights during the day and switching between high and low beams at night? This is mainly because the headlights play a role in reminding the vehicle in front or the opposite lane to pay attention. So what are the meanings of these light words?
1. The headlights flash once, generally indicating reminder or recognition. If the traffic light is green at an intersection and the car in front has not yet started, you can flash your headlights as a reminder. If a vehicle in the lane next to you wants to change lanes and merge into your own lane, if conditions permit, you can flash your headlights to express your agreement. The other party will change lanes after receiving the signal.
2. The headlights flash twice, which is generally used as a reminder to turn on the headlights in the oncoming lane and not switch to low beam. On road sections with insufficient lighting conditions, sparsely populated areas, and basically no cars, you can turn on high beam lighting to help you observe the surrounding environment. However, when there are other vehicles, you need to switch the high beam back to the low beam to avoid causing strong light interference to the other party's driving vision. If a car coming from the opposite lane forgets to switch to low beam, you can flash the high beam twice to remind you. If the other party still has not turned off the high beam, and the high beam has caused strong light interference to your field of vision, you should slow down and turn on the double flash as a reminder.
3. The headlights flash three times, which usually indicates that the vehicle ahead is in danger and you should pay attention to safety. For example, the door of the car in front is not closed properly, the tire is flat, etc. The editor once encountered a pickup truck carrying furniture on a secondary road. The furniture in the vehicle may have accidentally ignited a fire because the occupants of the vehicle threw cigarette butts out of the window at will. Despite our repeated reminders, the driver still didn't notice. Finally, we saw the pickup truck halfway down the road with only one frame burned out. Fortunately, no one was injured.
4. The headlights flash continuously, which generally indicates disagreement. When vehicles in the next lane are merging, if the vehicle is traveling very fast and the merging conditions are not mature, the other party's forced lane change may cause a collision. You can continuously flash your headlights to express your disagreement and allow the other vehicle to find mature conditions for merging. road.
In addition, there are also lights that flash the headlights once and honk, which means that the other party is in an emergency and ask the vehicle in front to give way; flash the headlights three times and turn on the double flash, which means that the other vehicle needs emergency help, and so on.
Light language is a tool and method for communication between cars. If you understand this, you will know what it means when you encounter light language in the future. As the saying goes, "relying on friends when going out" means that by understanding the goodwill of others, we will have an extra layer of safety and security on the road.
