Outline lights
Outline lights are also called width lights, commonly known as small lights. They are a kind of warning lights used to alert other vehicles and do not have lighting functions.
Correct use of outline lights:
Outline lights are generally not used alone. They are mainly turned on at night and in rainy and foggy days when visibility is low.
Turn lights
Turn lights are important indicator lights that are turned on when a motor vehicle turns to alert vehicles in front, behind, left and right and pedestrians.
⚠️ Before changing lanes, turning, or parking by the roadside, you must use the turn signal in accordance with regulations!
Correct use of turn signals:
1. When a car reaches a general flat intersection, it should turn on the turn signal in advance according to the direction of the turn at a distance of 10-30 meters from the intersection, based on the width of the road, the size of the traffic flow, and the current driving speed.
2. When turning into an intersection with a guide lane, the turn signal should be turned on before entering the guide lane; when a car enters or exits a roundabout, the corresponding turn signal should be turned on according to the driving direction.
3. When changing lanes while driving, the driver should use the rearview mirror to check whether the adjacent lane is free. If it is safe, the driver should turn on the corresponding turn signal before changing lanes.
4. When turning around, the driver should turn on the left turn signal and pay attention to whether there are oncoming vehicles in front and behind the car. The driver should make a U-turn only after ensuring safety.
5. When overtaking on a road section without a solid center line, the driver should turn on the left turn signal and honk the horn (except for sections where honking is prohibited). If the driver is overtaken, the driver should give way to the right.
6. When pulling over while driving, the driver should turn on the right turn signal in advance and pay attention to the traffic dynamics behind the right side of the car. The driver should pull over only after ensuring safety.
7. When leaving the parking place, the driver should turn on the left turn signal in advance and pay attention to the traffic dynamics behind the left side of the car. The driver should drive to the driving lane only after ensuring safety.
Double flash lights
Double flash lights, also known as hazard warning flash lights, are mainly used to alert other vehicles and pedestrians to special situations of this vehicle
Correct use of double flash lights:
1. When a motor vehicle is difficult to move after a breakdown or a traffic accident on the road, the double flash lights should be turned on in accordance with regulations, and a warning sign should be set up 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle.
2. When towing a faulty motor vehicle, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on the double flash lights to remind their own vehicles that they are in an abnormal state.
3. When temporarily parking on the driving lane, the double flash lights need to be turned on to alert other vehicles.
4. When driving in bad weather and visibility is less than 50 meters, fog lights, low beam lights, clearance lights, front and rear position lights and double flash lights need to be turned on.
Learning to use car lights correctly is not only responsible for the safety of others, but also for yourself. I believe it is a small case for everyone
