All walks of life have more or less some so-called "rules" that have been agreed upon. In fact, these so-called "rules" may not be expressed in words, but they are generally agreed upon by everyone in the industry. In fact, there are also some "rules" in car driving. , such as the car light etiquette we are going to talk about today!
Light language one: signal light intersection urging
Some drivers often start late at intersections for some reason, causing the driver behind them to habitually press the horn! The former affects traffic efficiency, while the latter creates noise and leads to violations in some cities. These are things that should not happen.
In fact, in the early days, some experienced drivers were still used to using light signals to alert the vehicle ahead. When the signal light turns green, the car may be a newbie, nervous and slow to start. Perhaps the driver of the car in front did not pay attention to the change of the indicator light and was distracted when waiting for the red light. At this time, the car behind usually takes some measures to give the other party a hint.
When encountering this situation, we can use flashing headlights instead of rudely honking the horn. The headlights flash once to remind the car that it is time to pass the intersection. Usually, the car in front will be aware of it and flash it again if there is no movement. Do not flash the headlights continuously. This is disrespectful to people and can easily arouse the rebellious mood of the driver of the car in front.
Lantern Language 2: Meeting Cars at Night
The most troublesome thing about driving at night is keeping your high beams on when meeting oncoming vehicles! This kind of behavior of turning on the high beam is not uncommon when driving at night. It is convenient for you, but you don't know that turning on the high beam when meeting another car can easily lead to traffic accidents!
When you meet an oncoming vehicle and keep your headlights on, you can flash your headlights twice at a distance in front of the meeting to remind the other vehicle to switch lights. If the other vehicle is indifferent, you can turn on your double flashing lights to express your dissatisfaction and tell the other party that you are shaking me and please switch to low beam.
Lantern language three: parallel ceremonial lights
Vehicle merging is a very common driving behavior, and it is also a driving behavior that people complain about a lot at present. This is mainly because the current merging vehicles not only do not turn on the turn signal, but also forcefully merge and continuously change lanes. In fact, we have also popularized light language when driving on the same lane!
When encountering a merging road or a section where vehicles pass alternately, the vehicle changing lanes should turn on the turn signal in advance, wait at the intersection of traffic, and ask the vehicle behind: "Can I change lanes?" If the vehicle behind agrees, it should slow down and flash. The headlights mean: "I agree to change lanes!"; if it is inconvenient or you don't agree, flash the headlights several times to mean: "No, I don't agree"!
Light language four: Reminder of problem vehicles
During driving, you will always find some car problems, such as: the trunk is not closed properly, the door is not closed properly, the brake light is not on, etc.
If you find something wrong with the neighboring car and want to alert him/her, you can flash your headlights three times in succession to the car in front, and then flash your headlights three more times when the driver of the car ahead notices the lights. Of course, if someone flashes their headlights at you three times, you should also pay attention. Maybe there is something wrong with your car, and the car behind you is giving you a friendly reminder.
Light Language 5: Warn vehicles following too closely
Some drivers like to follow other cars when driving. Whether it is on the highway or in the city, following a car too closely can easily lead to a rear-end accident. When you find a car following you too close, you can use lights to warn him/her.
The car lights that can be used at this time are brake lights. When you find that the car behind you is too close to your car, you can lightly apply the brakes to indicate that the car behind you is too close and you should stay away. What needs to be noted is: brake lightly instead of slamming or holding the brake to avoid rear-end collisions and road rage caused by improper operation!
Summary: There are still different versions of industry rules similar to the language of lights. For example, when meeting another car, the person being courted will press the horn to express gratitude. When merging at low speed, some drivers will open the car window and give a thumbs up to express gratitude, etc., because These so-called rules are not stipulated by laws and regulations. Many of them are understood by drivers themselves. Therefore, improper use or misinterpretation can easily lead to problems! Therefore, the lantern language is only used as a driving reference during driving and is not a necessary test knowledge!
