随着夜晚变长,很容易忘记驾驶条件如何随着季节而变化。在驾驶秋天时,请阅读一些提示。

低的太阳

随着夜晚变得更长的,您可能更有可能面临低阳光眩光,在匆忙时期,您倾向于发现自己在早晨和晚上驾驶。始终在您的汽车中留在车上,然后慢慢地开车。在内外,保持挡风玻璃清洁和没有污垢,也可以帮助您在这些条件下更好地看到。

Wet conditions

As Autumn settles in, some regions get more frequent or heavy rainfall, as well as the potential for fog and reduced visibility. Avoid deep puddles and high speeds when the conditions are rainy, and always keep plenty of stopping distance between you and the car in front of you.

Headlights help you be seen as well as see. Remember to use your headlights in poor weather. With the lower sun at crowded drive times, turn on your headlights to be seen by other drivers. It could save you from an accident, particularly when crossing or turning at intersections.

叶子的变化是关于秋季最美丽的东西之一。然而,叶片可能对司机带来很多问题。当它们湿透时,它们可以变得湿滑并产生危险的驾驶条件。在开车穿过它们之前,请注意湿叶的补丁并降低速度。如果他们陷入挡风玻璃之间,落叶也会造成问题,因此保持车辆清晰。

Fog

Fog can create dangerous driving conditions, becoming so thick that you cannot see beyond the hood of your car, even in daylight. This is obviously dangerous, and even more so if you happen to be caught in fog at night. If you do have some visibility, keep your speed to a minimum, keep your driving lights on, or low beams (never use high beams in fog), and keep plenty of distance between you and the car ahead. Sometimes pulling over and waiting is the best option, but make sure you are sufficiently away from the road and keep your lights on. Breezy or windy mornings tend to be fog free, which brings us to the next element of autumn weather.图象 - 在乡下公路的汽车在晚上在冬天。

Temperature changes

Autumn is a prime time for sudden change in temperature. Frosty and icy conditions can suddenly set in, causing slippery conditions and accidents. The cold weather can also bring other hidden dangers. Variations in temperature cause stress and can wreak havoc on all the systems and materials in your car. Hoses and belts can dry and crack more quickly as temperature fluctuations increase. Even metals and plastics can be affected by the constant expansion and contraction from heating and cooling. Additionally, the up-and-down temperatures can cause your windshield to expand and contract, causing distortion and sometimes cracks in the glass. It’s important to look out for changes in your windshield glass, for even the smallest chip can become a larger crack, spreading into a much bigger issue very easily.

孩子和动物

Children are back to school and animals are busy preparing for winter. Look out for them. Slow down, keep an eye out, and be nice. If you drive through wooded or rural areas, be particularly aware of deer and other animals.

In general, autumn means we need to be more careful as drivers – but not because we’re not careful to begin with. As with any season, there are just certain factors that come into play that require our attention and adjustment to our driving styles.
