There are many lighting systems on cars, and the main ones related to safe driving are the car's headlights and taillights. Through switching and transformation, the car lights can express a variety of effects. Basic operations such as low beam, high beam, fog lights, turn signals, etc. are something you need to master proficiently in the process of learning to drive.
However, in addition to the use of these lights, there are actually some "unwritten" default rules among car owners, which can extend more "light language" to facilitate communication between different car owners while driving. New car owners must understand the 5 default "light languages" when driving, and old car owners should also take a look
1. The headlights flash once
The flashing of the headlights once is a very obvious reminder. It can remind the car owner to pay attention. Therefore, its application scope is mainly to remind some non-emergency situations, such as when the red light in front has turned to green, but the car owner still I was still playing with my mobile phone and did not start the vehicle in time. At this time, the headlights flashed once to remind the car owner in front to "leave". If there is no response at this time, it is time to honk the horn directly.
2.Double flash
Turning on the headlights twice in a short period of time has a stronger reminder and can also express one's dissatisfaction. This situation mostly occurs when car owners abuse high beams while driving at night, in order to remind the other person to turn off the high beams. To avoid affecting the driving of other car owners, double flashes are used as a reminder. The meaning of cross-shooting is obvious, but it does not cause the other party to lose sight.
3. The headlights flash once or multiple times continuously when merging.
When overtaking and merging on the road, it is very important to fully understand the vehicle conditions, otherwise it is easy to be in danger, especially because some car owners may not agree to merge. The default rule is that if you agree, the headlights will flash once, if you disagree, the headlights will flash multiple times. If other car owners do not agree to merge, do not force the merge. An accident may occur if you encounter a bad-tempered car owner. If you agree to merge, after the merger is successful, you can double flash three times in a row to express your gratitude.
4. The brake light flashes multiple times
The brake lights are mainly used to remind vehicles behind you to pay attention to the speed and slow down to avoid danger. However, many times, the car owner in front will choose to flash the brake lights multiple times in a row, but the car in front shows no signs of braking. At this time, he should Pay attention, it is reminding you to keep distance between cars and not to get too close to prevent accidents.
5. The headlights flash three times
If you are driving in front but turn on the headlights more than three times in a row behind you, it is also a non-emergency reminder. It is likely that the trunk of your car is open, the tire pressure is low, etc. Some car owners simply keep flashing or even It is honking the horn to make you stop. At this time, you must pull over as soon as possible and check whether there is any problem with the vehicle.
