On headlights during heavy rain.

Many years ago, I was driver a black Nissan Sunny.

The rain was so heavy that my car could not be seen.

Besides the headlights, I turned on the hazard lights too.

Bro, I feel hazard lights here shd not be used. It creates confusion instead. Switching on your headlights, front and rear fog lights if you have them are good enuff for visibility to others.

Many years back, mine was a 1982 Nissan Sunny without rear fog lights.

Hazard light was the only rear lights available.

i feel many cars are following too closely to the cars infront. Yes, tailgating that is.

And when they repeat this same habit in wet weathers, there it goes..the chained crash, here and there...

 

Maybe they are drafting.

[So_nice]

wow. the sunny is as old as me..

 

but dun under-estimate it..i still see one running ard sembawang area!

I bought that Sunny from my father's mechanic.

A very good car for/at its age then.

Yesterday afternoon was pouring very very heavily.

Was driving and just do not understand why 90% of the cars on the road just refuse to turn on headlight.

 

I'm quite sure that most MCF ppl will turn on headlights (MCF ppl are simply different from ppl outside).

 

what are the reasons that ppl does not turn on headlights during heavy rain.

1) save battery

2) save petrol

3) do not want ppl to see u as "chicken"

4) what other reasons?

 

Guys, remember to on your lights. Fog lights, small light, big light, whatever. Just make sure you on some lights.

I always practise switching on Hazard light when E brake on Expressway or tight corners.

 

I think it's a good practise after I observe that the ROC military buses do it.

[Cklasse]

Agreed. There are many who dont bother to switch the headlights On.

 

For me, once it rains, no matter small or big, i'll immediately turn them On.

 

I would like to suggest to all MCF ppl to practise to step a few times on the brake-pedal,

so as to give a more obvious hint to the cars from behind, to know that u are reducing ur speed...rather than just step once on the pedal..

 

Just to be aware that during heavy downpours, our Tail-lights are not visible enough..and our brake-lights will look like the tail-lights when stepped..

 

For this blinking brake light, watch for the new C-class on the road. The new C-class brake lights blink when the driver hits the brake in an emergency stop. This is the new road standard Mercedes-Benz is pushing to set for the future.

just came back and saw 2 accidents in a space of 1 hour.

 

bukit batok road towards PIE. dunno wat accident but SCDF was there clearing the petrol off the road.

 

another is boon lay way towards upper jurong road, before speed cam. waja kiss tree on centre divider.

 

rainy days! drive slowly and remember to on headlights!(not high beam pls..)

[Viviobluerex]

for pple who typically dun even want to use their turn indicators, do you think they want to turn on their headlights? maybe they still can see others well, so they just assume pple can see them too?!

 

some drivers die die also must stick to 7pm then turn on headlights, regardless of visibility..

Indeed, many such drivers on the road. Rigid, must follow law. Law say 7pm-7am must on Headlight.

 

Other time they never on not against the law, hahaha, idiots.

 

Wait until a truck full of sand comes running to their back and can't see em.

 

Rollover@!

[So_nice]

evil..

[Vroomtattat]

Well said, brudder! The bit about MCF and other people

 

I do turn on headlights when it rains and even when driving in the MSCP or those underground carpark at shopping malls.

 

Can you imagine the shock when someone lurking in a corner suddenly appear, speeding somemore!!

Wah..even the manufacturers are going into this safety-aspect ...

[reply]

 

agreed. some jokers really even drive at a very high speed inside MSCP somemore

 

do they tink that they got enough time to react when someone or some cars suddenly appears??

[Helloworld88]

They think that "if I can see the road, why have to turn it on in daylight ?"

For me, I even turn it on in sheltered carpark.

[Wave_rider]

huh ... I dun take my eyes off at all ... I know where all the switched are without looking.

 

IMO, I think it's a better option to practise it. It has save my rear bumper a few times already.

[Wave_rider]

your comments very conficting leh ...
