There are many ways to communicate between people, such as using voice, letters, body movements, expressions, etc. Only if the communication is sufficient, there will be less misunderstandings and conflicts; cars also need to communicate with each other. In the rolling traffic, Only by informing other cars of your intentions can you effectively avoid scratch accidents.
There are two ways to communicate between cars: horns and lights. Let’s not talk about horns. Try not to use such annoying things. If someone uses them, it will definitely convey a reminder, warning or dissatisfaction. New and experienced drivers It's easy to understand. Relatively speaking, light language is richer and can express more meanings. Many of them are not understood by new and old drivers and are not usually taught in driving schools, but they are often encountered in real life and are considered to be established customs. A tacit understanding, similar to the gestures of traffic police, is a silent language universally used around the world.
Scenario 1: Flashing or strobing headlights directly behind you
While driving, if a car is very close to you and flashes you with its high beams from time to time, 99% of the time the reason is that your car is too slow and is blocking other people's roads. The harder it flashes, the more it dislikes you. If you really are not running fast in the fast lane, you should speed up or switch to the slow lane, or move slightly to the right to let the car behind you go first. If it is on a narrow curved road where it is difficult to avoid and you cannot drive fast, and the lights are flashing from behind to urge you, then it is either sick or of poor quality. I wonder what you would do if you encountered this situation. What to do?
Scenario 2: In the lane adjacent to you, flash your headlights from the side and rear
Most experienced drivers understand this light language, especially those who often drive at night. When the line of sight is not ideal, the car behind wants to overtake the car in front. At this time, the car behind will flash its high beam once or twice, which means that I am about to pass. , don’t change lanes for the car in front of you. In this case, the car in front also needs to understand the meaning of this light language, and do not think that the car behind is provoking and making unfriendly behaviors such as deliberately blocking the road.
Scenario 3: Oncoming cars flash your high beams once or twice
When driving at night, if you find a car coming from the opposite direction and flashing its high beam at you once or twice, you should pay attention to your instrument to see if you have turned on the high beam and hurt someone's eyes. In fact, when walking at night, you will encounter some cars. When you meet the car, you feel that the lights of the oncoming car are too bright from a distance, which makes you unable to open your eyes. That is because the oncoming car has its high beam on. At this time, you can also pull the turn signal lever closer to the steering wheel and release it, repeating it twice to give a signal to the oncoming vehicle: you turned on the high beam and quickly change to the low beam. I was afraid that the other party was a novice and did not understand the meaning of the lights and the dangers of high beam lights on safety, so I drove past amidst the sounds of greetings to the ancestors.
Scenario 4: Turn on the hazard warning lights and double flash
While driving, if your car breaks down and you slow down or stop, you should turn on your double flashing lights to warn the cars behind you to pay attention or go around. Everyone knows this light language. It should be noted that in a place where the road is not wide, if the front is clear and you need to slow down or stop to get on or off passengers, you must give a signal to the car behind you, that is, don't follow me if I have something to do. Regardless of whether you are a new or old driver, everyone should know that the road is a public resource and you cannot just care about yourself. At this time, you should try to pull your car over and turn on the double flashing lights. The car behind will understand what you mean and it will choose the opportunity to overtake instead of being caught. You block the traffic behind.
