I'm afraid everyone is familiar with car headlights, but many novice drivers think that headlights are just for lighting the road. What's there to say? But what many novice drivers don’t know is that car headlights also have light language, and understanding the light language is the biggest difference between experienced drivers and novice drivers.
So what is lantern language? Many novice drivers may find this when they first get on the road. The headlights of the car behind or on the opposite side will suddenly flash from one to three times. Could it be that the headlights also have Parkinson's disease? In fact, this is not the case. This is the driver of other vehicles signaling to you. Therefore, novice drivers must not only be able to speak the light language themselves, but also learn to read other people's light language in order to be promoted to experienced drivers.
So what are the general types of lantern language?
First, a flash, which we generally call "bounce and flash", is very fast and passes by in a flash. The appearance of this kind of light language means that you have occupied the road! Go quickly! Generally, this kind of light language appears when the red light turns green and the car in front is not moving. The light flashes to remind the car in front to move quickly.
Second, if it flashes twice, it means continuous double flashes in the city. This generally occurs when cars are meeting each other and the other party uses high beam. Everyone hates high-beam dogs, and they don’t know how to alert newbies once they find them. Just flash your headlights twice. If the other party doesn't respond, you can also turn on your headlights to flash him. In addition, if a novice finds that the other party is flashing their headlights at you twice, quickly check to see if you have turned on the high beams and turn them off quickly.
Third, flash three times. If you find a car behind you with its headlights flashing three or more times, there may be something wrong with your car. For example, water leaks, the trunk is not closed, the car door is not closed tightly, etc. At this time, it is best to pull over and check in time to see if there are any problems before starting again.
In addition, there are some flashing lights that also express the emotions of the other car owner. For example, if you change lanes at will on the road, the car behind you will definitely flash its lights continuously to show dissatisfaction. Although it will not have much impact on you, it at least means that you are driving dangerously. Be sure to pay attention in the future.
Some people may say, can’t these so-called lantern languages be told to each other through a loudspeaker? Yes, car horns also serve as warnings, but now many central urban areas are prohibited from honking them. If you are caught by the traffic police, you will be deducted points and fined. In addition, on the highway, because the windows are closed and the speed is high, many drivers cannot hear the horn (unless it is a truck type). Therefore, the light language can better and faster remind the driver to pay attention to the problem, so it is not necessary to learn the light language. Afraid of trouble.
