The article "Frequent Heavy Rainfall in South China" Learn about rainstorm and Self rescue Guide Car | rainstorm | Self rescue
The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a blue rainstorm warning on the 20th. In the next three days, heavy rainfall will still occur frequently in Jiangnan, South China and other places, and the risk of secondary disasters such as flash floods and debris flows in the local area is high. What adverse effects will heavy rainfall have on transportation? Once encountering rainstorm weather, how should we avoid risks scientifically? Let's learn together.
Driving without slowing down on rainy days, the car slips and loses control, crashing into the guardrail
Recently, continuous rainy weather has occurred in many places in southern China. How to avoid danger when driving in rainstorm? Let's first take a look at two thrilling scene scenes. On the section of the Shanghai Kunming Expressway in Fuzhou, Jiangxi, a white car suddenly slipped while driving, lost control, and collided with the central guardrail before spinning, causing damage to the car that was originally driving normally on the fast lane.
The traffic police have determined that the driver of the white car, Wang, did not reduce his speed on rainy days and caused an accident due to improper operation, and he shall bear full responsibility. Similarly, a similar accident occurred on the Shaoyang section of the Dongcheng Expressway in Hunan. At the time of the incident, the car was driving at a fast speed on the lane when it suddenly lost control and shifted to the left, then collided with the central guardrail and caused an accident.
Frequent rainfall in the south, traffic police remind to slow down and drive slowly
When the car driver Chen passed through the accident section, it was raining, but he did not slow down, causing the vehicle to slip and lose control, leading to the accident. Traffic police remind that on rainy days, the road surface is wet and slippery, and a layer of water film will form between the road surface and the tires. The friction of the tires will decrease, and if the vehicle speed is too fast, it will easily cause the phenomenon of "floating on water", which is called the "water film effect". Therefore, the best preventive measure for driving on highways on rainy days is to slow down the speed and control it at around 80 kilometers per hour, which is relatively safe.
Dongguan, Guangdong: The delivery boy was washed away in the rainstorm, and the police and the people worked together to rescue him
Heavy rainfall during the flood season not only brings inconvenience to high-speed driving, but also increases safety hazards on the road surface. How should people scientifically avoid risks when traveling? This video shows that a rainstorm on the afternoon of June 13 caused many streets in Dongguan, Guangdong to be flooded. In the afternoon of that day, a delivery rider persisted in going upstream despite the obstruction of duty personnel in order to deliver orders. As a result, during the journey, the rider was violently impacted by the water flow, losing balance and being washed away by the water, including both the rider and the bike. At the critical moment, fortunately, the on-site patrol officers and another delivery man took action in a timely manner, working together to hold the delivery rider and prevent the tragedy from happening.
Do not move forward recklessly due to deep water on the road surface
Professionals remind that once there is deep water accumulation on the road surface, there is a risk of being washed over if rushed into the water. At this point, once a fall occurs, the human body is subjected to greater impact from water, and due to increased buoyancy, friction decreases, increasing the likelihood of being washed away. At this point, if encountering a vortex or fountain again, the consequences of falling into it would be unimaginable.
If you need to wade in the water, you should line up and move horizontally
Professionals remind that once you need to wade in water, do not act alone. Line up in a vertical line facing the direction of the water flow, move horizontally, and have the strongest person stand at the beginning of the line, with girls or skinny people in the middle. If possible, it's best to bring a long stick and explore while walking.
When encountering rainstorm, you should go to higher terrain to avoid danger
In addition, professionals also emphasize that when rainstorm strikes suddenly, you should go to a higher place to avoid danger, and climb trees, walls and roofs nearby in case of emergency; If it is difficult to protect oneself in the temporary shelter, one should promptly use the prepared escape equipment to evacuate, or use nearby floating items such as driftwood and door panels to escape danger.
