Adverse factors - visibility

key elements of the vehicle, they do realize the principle of see and be seen are:


The transparent elements of the cockpit.

Mirrors.

The lighting and signaling devices .

Transparent elements :



* Ltransparent elements you should be clean and must not distort the images through them to see. The placement of tinted or colored glass , non-approved is prohibited.

* El is called the front glass windshield, with the mission to protect us from the weather. On both sides we find the windows and in the back , we find the window moon.

* Po keep clean the windshield or rear window , we have the devices: wiper / washer and rear window / rear window.

* El device Anti-icing and anti-fog serves to prevent or break the ice and fog on the windows . Heating the vehicle is responsible for this mission, on the front glass and the heated rear window ( copper strands attached to the bezel ) on the rear

* El umbrella or parasol, these visors are placed on the position of the driver and front passenger , whose function is to prevent glare , front and side , caused by the sun.





Mirrors:





* LI mirrors mandatory for tourism , are outside left and insideAnd must carry also the right fieldWhen through interior not have enough visibility.

* Csa general rule , the mirrors are flat , reflecting an actual image in them , but some ExternalMay take the form convex reflecting those of a more limited and remote.

* De must bear always properly adjusted mirrors. Used mainly before leaving the vehicle or perform any maneuver.





Night driving :





* El main risk is night driving , glare or be dazzled by other vehicles.

* Sand must have their lights perfectly regulated , replacing the long-range for short , as soon as they appreciate the opportunity to dazzle, and adjusting our speed to space it illuminates.

* Chen two vehicles , at night , intersect in a curve , you must perform before the change of lights, take the curve to the right, which turn left .





Curves:





* Chen we vary the straight path of the vehicle generated in the same , the force centrifugal, which tends to drive us out of the track.

* Lcentrifugal force is proportional : The speed vehicle , in weight and curve radius.

* Aefore entering a corner , we must adapt our speed , adjusting our position to the right edge . In its development , we will accelerate gradually , gently turning the steering wheel .

* En a corner, we should avoid using the brake and clutch .







Meteorological factors :





* Lto meteorology, rain, snow , ice and fogAre adverse factors that cause lack of visibility and adherenceIn the circulation .

* La lack of visibility is taking the lamp corresponding addresses , using the defroster and demister , wipers ... etc .

* La lack of adhesion, by tire conditions (pressure and depth of trace) , chains (in case of snow or ice) and, above all , slow down , increasing the safety distance to anticipate braking.

* Con rain, snow , ice and fog, should be especially careful when overtaking and passing other vehicles.





Rain:





* El worse time for driving in the rain , that's when the first drops , as these by joining with dust , oil and other substances deposited on the ground, generating a mixture very slippery.

* La heavy rain can accumulate on the soil more water than the tires could leave through their drawings, and can cause slippage or loss of vehicle control, by its driver. This phenomenon is known as " aquaplaning " or" hydroplaning " and fixed with tires in moderate conditions and speed.

* Lof rain can affect the brakes , it is advisable to actuate from time to time, for verification. * Lto stopping distance in pavements in the rain is up to two times higher than in the dry .





Snow:





* As with the rain, the first flakes are the most risk involve in the circulation.

* Pcircular with snow plows , on the flat or uphill , you should do with the top gear that allows us the engine , while going down a mountain pass , we'll do with the speed shorter.

* Al start the car on snow is to put the wheels in a straight line , using gear ratios as high as possible while maintaining a smooth and constant acceleration .

* Chen after a snowfall the sun shines , its reverberations can cause glare , with tinted glasses , we can avoid. * Lto stopping distance in pavements with snow up to ten times higher than in the dry.





Ice:





* Con ice on the road , traffic is extremely dangerous. It is therefore we must provide for the existence of these plates on the road ...



If the weather is cold and wet.

In shady places, gullies , bridges , overpasses .

If we note that the address fleet.

* Lto stopping distance in pavements with ice up to ten times higher than in the dry.



Fog :





* Cthick fog on lighting should not be used long-range , as this will be reflected in it, turning against us and dazzle .

* Psubtract particular attention to road markings and signs for marking , are those , which guide us in the lane.





Wind:





* El is the most dangerous wind blowing and gusting side . If the wind blows from the right , the risk is to advance and, if it blows from the left , the risk is in passing another vehicle.
