Your truck's headlights can talk

Driving at night requires turning on the car lights, and the language of lights is the most convenient way for drivers to communicate. But do you really know how to use lights and communicate with others using lights? 

First of all, let's talk about the aspects to pay attention to in the daily use of lighting. When driving on highways or other poorly lit roads, it is necessary to use high beam headlights. On highways with single lanes, there is no need to switch to low beam when meeting other vehicles, but high beam headlights should be turned off when following another vehicle.

When overtaking, turn on the left turn signal, change lanes after confirming safety, flash your high beams once to remind the car in front of you that you are about to be overtaken, then overtake quickly, and then turn on the right turn signal to change lanes when you reach a safe distance. 

When driving on urban roads, there are usually street lights. As long as the lighting conditions are good, you should use low beam headlights. Urban roads have heavy traffic flow, with a high density of cars, pedestrians, and non-motorized vehicles. Using high beam headlights will make it difficult for oncoming drivers to see the road, and many serious traffic accidents are caused by high beam headlights.

In addition to the above mentioned driving lights need to pay attention to the norms, light language is also a way of communication between drivers, but nowadays many drivers do not know how to use the light language, today we will organize:

Flash the headlights once: It's a reminder for the vehicle in front to start moving, usually used at traffic light intersections or in traffic jams. The honking of a truck's air horn is too loud, and in addition, honking is prohibited on urban roads, so flashing the headlights is a more civilized approach.

The headlights flash twice to remind the oncoming vehicles to turn off their high beams, as we have previously mentioned. If the oncoming vehicles still refuse to dim their high beams, or if the vehicles behind are driving with their high beams on, you can use the hazard lights to express dissatisfaction.

Flash the headlights three times: If you see a vehicle traveling in the same direction as you with its door not properly closed, flat tire, or insecurely tied cargo, you can flash your headlights three times to alert the driver of the vehicle. If the driver of the neighboring vehicle does not notice, you can flash your headlights three more times. If a vehicle flashes its headlights at you three times, you should also pay attention to see if there is an issue with your own vehicle. 

When changing lanes, if the car behind you flashes its lights once, it means they agree for you to change lanes. If they flash their lights continuously, you should stop changing lanes as they are refusing you. Similarly, when someone merges into your lane, you also need to flash your lights to remind them.

If you feel that the car behind you is too close, you can repeatedly turn on the brake lights to remind the car behind to keep a distance. When you are following a car, if the car in front does this, you also need to slow down and keep a distance.

Switching between high and low beams is required when entering a bend, to alert vehicles on the other side of the bend to be aware of oncoming traffic.
