As the heavy rain in Beijing has just begun, there will be challenges in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory issued a blue typhoon warning signal on the morning of August 2 to require Jiangsu and Zhejiang to prevent the typhoon “Sura”, and warned that the wind power in Shanghai will increase greatly in the past two days, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rainfall in the short-term. . At 7:45, the Zhejiang Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow typhoon warning signal to further enhance the warning level.

How is the typhoon warning signal graded?

Typhoon warning signals are respectively indicated by blue, yellow, orange, and red.

The typhoon blue warning signal indicates that the tropical cyclone may be or may have been affected by the tropical cyclone within 24 hours, and the average wind strength over the coast or land reaches more than 6 levels, or gusts above the 8th level and may continue.

A typhoon yellow warning signal indicates that the tropical cyclone may be or may have been affected by the tropical cyclone within 24 hours. The average wind strength in the coast or land reaches 8 or more levels, or the gust may be more than 10 and may continue.

The typhoon orange warning signal indicates that it may have been or has been affected by a tropical cyclone within 12 hours, and the average wind strength in the coast or land reaches 10 or more levels, or gusts above 12 and may continue.

The typhoon red warning signal indicates that within 6 hours it may have been or has been affected by a tropical cyclone. The average wind force in the coast or land reaches 12 or more, or the gust may reach 14 or more and may continue.

According to the latest monitoring, at 7 o'clock on the morning of August 2, Typhoon "Sola" Center is located on the sea near 20 kilometers east of Hualien, Taiwan, about 448 kilometers southeast of Wenzhou, about 23.9 degrees north latitude, 121.8 degrees east longitude, and the center Atmospheric pressure 955 hPa, near the center of the largest wind 13 (40 m / s), 7 and wind circle radius of 480 km, 10 wind radius of 100 km, is expected to be in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi area along the coast.

Affected by this, the sea surface winds of the central and southern Zhejiang provinces on the 2nd to the 3rd will reach grades 9-11, local grades 12-13, sea levels 9-11 on the northern coast of Zhejiang, and coastal areas 8-10, accompanied by heavy rain. To heavy rain. At the same time, this year's No. 10 typhoon "Dawei" is also close at the same time. Along with the gradual emergence of the "Double Typhoon" effect, such a rare natural phenomenon in history is likely to cause unimaginable consequences.

Due to the high level of concern for typhoon warnings, we have summarized the knowledge of strong winds and heavy rainfall caused by typhoon and the related knowledge of driving and using vehicles. The following points will be divided into: driving articles and car articles to talk with everyone in this Traffic precautions under weather conditions.

Driving articles:

1, slow, slow, slow, slow...

There is no more important thing in a stormy and rainy weather than driving slowly, so I put this matter first. Heavy winds and heavy rain, the driver's sight is not good, around the pedestrians are also anxious to avoid the rain or the road will not pay attention to the road vehicles, so after this we must be slow, only the slowest to minimize the occurrence of rainstorm accidents. Do not drive more than 40 km/h at rainy days and 60 km/h at high speeds.

2. Hold the steering wheel and stay focused.

Typhoon weather is very windy and rainy, and it is easy to have a traffic accident at this time. Therefore, you should exercise caution when driving. When driving on a stormy day, the views of friends of pedestrians and cyclists will be limited because they tend to only look at the road and ignore the passing vehicles. Therefore, we must pay close attention when we drive. When driving on urban and suburban roads, try to be as close as possible to the center of the road. At the same time, pay more attention to the dynamics of the cyclists. Because they are most affected by wind and rain, they often fluctuate.

The most important thing to drive in a rainy day is to hold the steering wheel correctly. This will greatly improve our driving safety.

Highway driving, strong wind will blow to make the body slightly shake, this time you can play a small amount of steering wheel, do not be able to play a big direction, to avoid accidents.

3, to maintain a relatively long distance, slow down slowly.

In the stormy weather, the most important thing to notice is the front and rear distance. Because the rain will hit the glass very closely and the driver's eyesight will be very affected, so always pay attention to observing the distance between the front and rear vehicles and your own car and take good care of it in advance. All kinds of emergency measures are the most important thing we need to pay attention to when driving on the road.

If you are driving on a highway, you should pay attention to the electronic display of information on the highway. Strictly control the speed of the vehicle while driving, and keep driving more than twice the distance from the vehicle ahead.

4. Walk around the water to avoid flooding the car.

When the car passes through a pond with water or overpasses, tunnels, etc. where there is easy accumulation of water, it is best to choose to bypass. If you can't go, please stop at first to check the depth of water. Here are a few details for your reference:

1/ There are likely to be large rocks or other obstacles where there are waves and eddies in general;

2/ Where water is calmer, water is generally deeper;

3/ The water surface is open and there is a more uniform crushing place. Generally, the water is shallow and the bottom is mostly gravel. It is an ideal route for driving through;

4/ If the accumulated water exceeds the center mark of the wheel, do not try to wading. You should choose another route to drive around.

When wading through the water, the manual or manual self-manual vehicle should be put into a gear before entering the water; the automatic transmission needs to be put into the “L” gear; no “L” is required to be put into the “2” gear. The purpose of this is to get the slowest speed and maximum torque by using the lowest gear of the vehicle. Slow running is of course to prevent water from entering the intake pipe; if an obstacle is encountered, the maximum torque of the low gear output can cause the vehicle to overcome the obstacle.

In addition, when wading roads need to drive the vehicle speed to the slowest possible, because when the front down tilted water more easily into the intake pipe, a small intake of water into the intake pipe will cause water to adhere to the air filter, and sometimes Causes expansion to increase the intake resistance and cause the engine to stall. After entering the water, it should also keep a low speed to prevent the formation of water waves in front of the vehicle and passing through the intake pipe. Slowly stepping on the accelerator is to prevent the wheel from slipping, losing grip or even getting stuck in the car when it is underwater.

5, ground observation pedestrians

There may not be many pedestrians in the rainstorm, but if there are, then it must be an umbrella, or push the car people wearing ponchos to shelter from the rain, at this time their sight, hearing, reaction, etc. are limited, sometimes to hurry, scramble for Shifts, changeovers, crossings, and crutches often slip through the panic as the vehicle approaches, making the driver unprepared. When this happens, the driver should slow down and observe the condition of the road.

In addition, the use of horns alone during heavy rain days has been greatly weakened. Pedestrians or other vehicle drivers may not be able to hear the horn sound in time. Therefore, in heavy rain days, pedestrians can be reminded of the dual use of lights and speakers. Therefore, when encountering a pedestrian or other non-motorized vehicle, do not drive fast, slow down, and be prepared to brake at any time.

6. Obey the traffic lights and the command of the police

In the rainy days, we should comply with the traffic lights and the police's command. If we encounter a signal light failure intersection, please follow the order and obey the command of the traffic police. If the traffic police has not yet arrived, call 122 to report to the traffic police command center.

The typhoon has a greater impact on the safe driving of the expressway, so many times the road management department will choose to close the expressway when the typhoon comes. However, mastering certain typhoon high-speed driving knowledge will also greatly help the safe driving.

7, rational use of light

Just now, the role played by horns in a rainy day was too small, and the use of lights for prompting was the king. First of all, we must turn on the dipped beam, width lamp, and fog lamp when driving on a rainy day so that the front and rear cars can identify your location no matter how heavy the rain is. In addition, special reminders should not be used here during heavy rain, because the reflection effect of rain will make the line of sight in front of you with the high beam blurred.

If the rain is too great and visibility is very low, you should drive to the nearest service area or leave the main road at the nearest exit, find a safe place to stop and open a double flash warning light.

As for some friends, they would say that the rainstorm should open a warning double flash light to prompt the car. Although the national laws and regulations require that warning flashes be turned on when visibility is extremely low, we believe that the purpose of driving double flashes to inform the rear vehicle of a problem in front of the vehicle requires avoidance. In heavy rain, the line of sight is very poor, the rear car can not accurately determine the position of the front car, but double flash will lead to traffic accidents (a lot of car owners are also accustomed to open the double flash warning light when parking, so it can not judge whether the car is moving forward) Therefore, we suggest that we directly turn on the fog lights and the width of the lights in the rainy days. Remember not to open the high beam!

8. Do not overtake the same line in strong stormy weather.

Driving on a rainy day, splashes of water that are prone to splashing on the windshield of the vehicle can affect the line of sight, resulting in an instantaneous “zero” visibility. The driver must not panic, stop braking or even stop to prevent rear-end collisions. Keep the speed going. Generally, the water on the windshield will disappear in a short time.

In addition, because of bad sight on rainy days, please do not blindly overtake the line and avoid traffic accidents. At the same time, lateral winds in strong winds may also have a safety impact on you when you are in line. And my personal conclusion is that it is most important to drive a “steady” character on a strong stormy day.

9. Prerequisites for helping others to protect themselves first

If you want to help other pedestrians or vehicles on a rainy day, please be sure to first ensure your safety, take good safety precautions, and then rescue yourself. If you find that you can't help, you can evacuation with a friend who wants to help and find a safe place to call for help.

For rescue, you can contact the 4S shop that bought the car, the insurance company that purchased the insurance, or the repair shop. They will provide you with towing service.

Car articles:

1. Finding a safe parking location for the car during stormy days

The parking space in the city is particularly tense, and before the advent of typhoon rainstorms, we were somewhat aware of the relevant caution, so it is very important to find a safe parking place for the car in advance. If you don't have a private garage, you should pay attention to the following situations when you stop at the roadside.

1 It's fine to park downstairs but you look up to see if anything is on the window.

2 Do not stop at the gate of the fence

3 Do not stop under the billboard

4 Stay away from bicycles, motorcycles, construction enclosures, broken walls

5 Too big trees and old trees.

If you want to stop in the underground garage, you must stop cautiously. Be sure to check in advance if the drainage system of the garage is perfect. After the typhoon, you must go fishing from the water.

Note again that there are signs of flooding in the car parked in the parking lot or in the garage. Do not start the ignition. Finally, the most recommended parking space is the high-floor parking lot, which is the best choice to avoid flooding. Or more open places, if conditions suggest parked.

2, may consider insurance related insurance

There are two main types of vehicle damage in storms and typhoons. One is that it is damaged by falling objects and the other is flooded.

The damage caused by a general falling object can be settled through the insured car damage insurance, and can be paid through wading insurance after being flooded. Here is a special reminder that if your car is out of flame due to wading, please do not try to start a fire. This will lead to more serious engine damage. Although there is an insurance payment, it is very troublesome to repair and affect your use.

Analysis of Unmatched Claims for Second Light in Water

Many people say that engine damage caused by sparking in the water is not covered by insurance companies. However, after investigation, this is not the case. At present, it is understood that insurance companies such as PICC, Ping An, and Pacific can compensate for engine damage caused by the second spark. of. For specific information, you can view the interpretation of the insurance policy.

3, after the typhoon to the car to do a clean and maintenance

After heavy storms, we must clean the vehicles in time to check the surface of the paint for dirt, and there are no foreign objects around the wheels and brake discs/pieces. The chassis and tires are also the main inspection points of the car.

Also check the interior carefully. Some cars have poor sealing performance and may cause water to enter between the floor and the carpet. Open the window and open the window in time to eliminate the accumulation of stagnant water. Otherwise, the odor inside the vehicle will not be good for the body. In addition, if some parts of the vehicle are also damaged, it needs to be replaced in time. For detailed information, you can view the following article.

Summer auto insurance should pay attention to analysis of wading insurance and self-inflation

In addition to the above instructions for driving vehicles, we have also made articles about the safety of driving in rainy days and windy days before our car home. We will show you below and hope to provide you with reference to the safety of driving. I don't personally agree that we should not agree to go down on the typhoon and rainy weather. If you are not not necessary, you will stay at home. It will not only be safe, but will also help relatives and friends avoid the pain.
