If you cut in, you will get hit. Do you call this a driving school instructor?

"Why is it so miserable on the highway?" Xia Qianyi looked confused.

"Emm..." Hearing this, Gu Yin couldn't help but hold his forehead in his hand and said helplessly, "Isn't it a bit too profound for me to discuss these topics with a car newbie like you who hasn't even passed the second test?"

"...Just chat if you want to," Xia Qianyi suppressed the frown on her forehead and rolled her eyes: "Don't make personal attacks here!"

"Ha, you think too much," Gu Yin said, "I'm just stating a fact."

"...Are you going to tell it or not?!" Xia Qianyi couldn't help but raise her voice.

【Hahahaha…laughing to death.】

It's been a long time since we last saw the two bickering, and many viewers in the "Reconciliation with Life" live broadcast room found it quite fresh. The comments gradually became friendlier, and at the same time the number of people online also began to soar, and it was about to break through the 50 mark again.

"Tell me about it..."

Anyway, we were taking shelter from the rain and had nothing to do, so Gu Yin took a bottle of mineral water from the side, unscrewed it, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said:
"First of all, you have to get out of the car when an accident happens. You can't stay in the car. Because even if you put up warning signs and turn on the double flashes, the visibility is not that far in rainy days, and it is easy to cause a secondary accident. It is dangerous to sit in the car..."

"On ordinary roads, if an accident happens on a rainy day, you can just go to the roadside to find a place to take shelter from the rain. Most roads have places to take shelter on both sides of the road..."

"But on the highway, there is basically nothing on both sides of the road. You can only take shelter on the roadside. If you happen to encounter a storm with strong winds, an umbrella is useless and you don't have a raincoat, you can only stand on the roadside and get wet."

"Do you think it's miserable?"

What Gu Yin said is not without basis...

That time, when he was driving his friend's car back from another place, he encountered three accidents in the journey of more than 200 kilometers.

There was a couple like this. Their car had an accident and stopped in the middle of the road. The couple had to stand on the roadside. It seemed like it was the beginning of the new year, just like now, when the temperature was not high. The couple stood on the roadside in short sleeves and got wet. They thought that when the highway traffic police came, they would have to go to the hospital for an IV drip...

In fact, Gu Yin was curious about why the couple wore short sleeves at that time, but later he thought about it and understood...

In this world, there always seem to be people who wear short sleeves even in winter, especially many people who drive. They think there is heating at home, in the car, and in the shopping mall when they go out, so they only wear short sleeves when they are in the car.

When the accident happened, there was probably heater in the car so I didn't wear a jacket and only a short-sleeved shirt. I forgot to take my jacket when I got out of the car. When I got to the roadside, there were a lot of cars on the highway and the speed was very fast, and I didn't dare to get my jacket from the car in the middle of the road. I could only get wet in my short-sleeved shirt.

Compared to warmth, life is more important.

"Ah..." After hearing Gu Yin's story, Xia Qianyi couldn't help but hug her shoulders and said with sympathy: "Isn't that tragic?"

"So I'm glad we didn't take the highway..." Gu Yin said bluntly: "It's very dangerous to take the highway in this weather."

Some sections of the highway have some sunken roads, and water easily accumulates on rainy days. If you drive too fast and the tires lose control, you'd be in trouble.

Gu Yin has always been a person who cherishes his life. This is why he did not choose to continue walking when it was raining just now, but chose to stop on the side of the road and wait for the rain to stop.

In the north at this time of year, even if it rains, it won't be heavy. The area is dry to begin with. Gu Yin has only seen a handful of heavy rains in his life, and even if there are, they will only last for a while and then stop.

There is no need to drive during the rainiest hours.

"...For a moment I really don't know whether it is safe or dangerous to follow you." Xia Qianyi couldn't help but complain when he heard it.

Gu Yin: “???”

Gu Yin was confused by this and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

"Look at you, you..." Xia Qianyi said, holding her rosy lips with her jade hand, "I say that riding in your car is safe, but you usually have accidents on the road, if not every day. There are always people getting in your way..."

"I said it's unsafe to ride in your car. You have so many tricks. People who don't know you would think you drive very conservatively."

"So, is it safe or dangerous to follow you?"

As soon as these words came out...

Gu Yin was stunned.

【puff……】

【Hahahahaha...】

The audience watching the show next door couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the comments were crazy:
[I am dying of laughter. Xia Qianyi, your summary is so spot on! ]

[You are indeed an average little expert at summarizing things! ]

[I have to say, Xia Qianyi has become much more cheerful since she met Coach Gu. ]

……

In fact, without the audience telling him, Gu Yin could clearly feel that Xia Qianyi was much more lively this time. When he first met her and took her to the driving school, she was wearing a gray sweatshirt with her head buried in the hood, looking like she was autistic. If you didn't know her, you would think she was sick or ugly and didn't want to see people...

I never expected that she has such a lively side.

But her liveliness at this moment is based on Gu Yin's pain, okay!

"If you're worried about it being unsafe, you can just not take the ride next time!" Gu Yin couldn't help but throw in the towel: "Who wants to pick you up?"

"Haha... I was wrong, I was wrong." Xia Qianyi quickly admitted her mistake.

As the two were chattering, the rain outside the window gradually subsided. Seeing that turning on the windshield wipers would not affect the vision, Gu Yin started the car and drove back.

Try to get back before dark, otherwise it would be unnecessary to come out so early.

It is worth mentioning that when walking on the main road on the way back, Gu Yin saw many cars turning on their hazard lights.

"Why are they using double flash?" Xia Qianyi asked curiously upon seeing this.

"...Have you passed Subject 1?" Gu Yin asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Xia Qianyi replied: "I passed the exam a long time ago, but does this have anything to do with the first part of the exam?"

As far as I can remember, the first test doesn't seem to mention using the hazard lights on rainy days, right?
Aren't double flashes usually only used in emergencies, accidents, or when you temporarily pull over on the road?

"Oh yes……"

Gu Yin held his forehead silently and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He almost forgot that this thing was not taught in the first class, but was figured out by some idiots on their own.

"That's great. Let me test you." Gu Yin asked, "In Section 1, it says that if it's raining or foggy, and you're driving on a road with low visibility, what should you do?"

"Turn on the fog lights." Xia Qianyi nodded in response.

"Not bad..." Gu Yin rarely praised Xia Qianyi. Before Xia Qianyi had time to be happy, he responded, "I think I was too low~"

"what……"

Xia Qianyi didn't come to her senses at first, and thought that Gu Yin was talking about "dog eyes look down on people", but when she thought about it, it didn't seem like that was what he meant. After thinking about it carefully...

"Gu Yin!" She opened her eyes wide and gritted her teeth.

Her slender jade hand had already pinched Gu Yin's arm angrily. Seeing that Gu Yin was driving, she knew very well that one should try not to touch others while driving, otherwise it would easily cause a traffic accident, so she had to put her hand down silently.

"Just be thankful that you're driving!" She couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Haha..." Gu Yin laughed. Seeing that she didn't hit him but continued to get more aggressive, Xia Qianyi was so angry that her cheeks were swollen and she ignored him.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that he was about to get angry if he continued to make trouble, Gu Yin said with a smile: "Then let me ask you, where exactly are the fog lights?"

"The light lever..." Xia Qianyi scratched her head and said, "Isn't that a subject in the third test? I haven't learned it yet. You can't blame me for not knowing it."

She is quite defensive...

"Who said it's your fault?" Gu Yin laughed and said bluntly, "This has nothing to do with whether you have studied Subject 3 or not. Even if you tell someone who has a driver's license where the fog lights are, he may not be able to react immediately..."

The lighting test is also a content in Subject Three. It is usually conducted after walking around the car and before getting in the car during the test. But this subject... is not a very difficult subject. Because Subject Three is mainly about driving on the road, many instructors usually give a temporary teaching at the last moment of the test.

They teach it temporarily and the students just memorize it temporarily. The main purpose is to cope with the exam. It is hard to say whether they still know how to do it after the exam.

Take the students taught by Gu Yin for example. In his student group, there were some students who, after getting their driver’s licenses and buying cars, drove out at night and asked him how to turn on the lights.

[Ask him how to turn on the light…]

Listen, is this a question that a carbon-based creature can ask?

But this is the reality. Some things are not so targeted to be learned. Students and coaches are just trying to pass the exam. They will definitely not be forced to remember everything in the future.

Education is like this. Let alone learning to drive, how can it not be like this for normal schooling?
It's just to cope with the big and small exams...

When they really use them, they are all idiots.

There are many things that cannot be taught completely in driving schools. You still have to put them into practice and see the real results on the road.

"So what you mean is that they don't know how to turn on the fog lights, so..." Xia Qianyi couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard that: "So in the end, they all used the hazard lights as fog lights?"

"What else?" Gu Yin laughed and said, "Maybe not everyone uses this thing as a fog light, but once it is used, it has two uses. When others see it, they all follow suit. It's a common phenomenon wherever there are humans."

Have you heard of the Chinese way of crossing the road?

One person crosses the road, taking the lead. Seeing that he is doing fine, others follow him and start running red lights.

But is this right?
This happened, who is responsible?

Is the person who took the lead at the beginning responsible?
How can it be!

Strictly speaking, double flash is used in emergency. It is not safe to drive on rainy days when you can't see the road ahead. Using double flash is not particularly exaggerated and understandable...

But the problem is that if everyone uses the hazard lights, then the car that really needs to use the hazard lights in an emergency will easily get into an accident.

To make an analogy...

If you are on a highway section like the one Gu Yin just mentioned, and it is raining heavily, and people are driving fast and you can't see the road, and all the cars are flashing their hazard lights, then the cars behind will generally think that the ones in front are flashing their hazard lights as a warning.

So in this case, what if a car really had an accident, turned on the hazard lights, and stopped there?

Will the following car think that this stopped car with its hazard lights on is the same as other cars that turn on their hazard lights when prompted during heavy rain?

Then I didn't slow down, and only found out when I got up to it that it was a parked car with the hazard lights on?

Wouldn't that lead to an accident?

So how can the person who took the lead in using the double flashes in the beginning not be considered a black sheep?

There is a reason why fog lights were designed. There is also a reason why driving schools teach people to use fog lights instead of hazard lights in rainy and foggy days. Those who use hazard lights are either led astray or they are stupid...

"No, there are only these things in the car, is there really anything that is unclear?" Xia Qianyi couldn't help scratching her head when she saw this.

"I'm too lazy to study..." Gu Yin said helplessly.

After all, there are relatively few rainy days and heavy foggy days in the 365 days of a year, so they are not very useful. Cars are bought mainly for convenience. Not everyone deals with cars all day long. Daily life and work are already very busy. Isn't it better to have time to rest and entertain yourself than to study this broken car?
"Don't just talk about others..." Gu Yin glanced at Xia Qianyi and said, "If it were you, you probably wouldn't even know how to use the hazard lights."

"Why didn't I know?!" Xia Qianyi broke down again.

The two people in the car started chattering again, but the audience didn't listen to them. Instead, they discussed the question that Gu Yin had just mentioned:

[In fact, fog lights are more powerful than double flashes and can serve as a better warning. ]

[If you don’t use lights according to regulations, you will also be punished. I searched and found that you should use the double flashes when the visibility is less than 100 meters, but that is not the case...]

[If that situation really happens, you can just turn on all the lights. The hazard lights alone are useless.]

[There are actually no strict regulations or penalties for this, but birds eating fog lights has a greater effect...]

[The effect here does not only apply to rainy and foggy days, but also has a great effect in normal times. 】

[You mean…]

【Hehehe, I understand, brother, I understand! 】

……

I don't know if it was because of a tacit understanding with the "brothers" in the live broadcast room, but when mentioning the fog lights, Gu Yin suddenly started talking to Xia Qianyi again:
"In addition to being useful on rainy days, the fog lights also have another function on certain models. And besides being useful on rainy and foggy days, do you know when those times are?"

"When?" Xia Qianyi scratched her head: "Don't test me, I haven't finished the second subject yet..."

She couldn't help rolling her eyes as she said this. Because of Gu Yin's resignation, she hadn't even finished studying for the second subject, let alone taking the exam.

She has only learned how to park parallel, and has not yet learned how to start on a slope, make an S-turn, make a right-angle turn, etc.

When testing her, she always feels that Gu Yin is a bit of a bully...

“Haha…” Gu Yin didn’t keep the secret any longer and said with a laugh, “Fog lights are used on foggy and rainy days when visibility is low, so they have great penetrating power…”

"That is to say, from the perspective of the car behind, the fog lights are actually very bright."

"The car behind?" Gu Yin reminded her of this. Xia Qianyi subconsciously turned her head to look at the rearview mirror on the right, and then a look of enlightenment appeared on her face...

"Oh~" She suddenly realized, and said, "You mean, when the car behind us doesn't have the manners to flash at us, we can also flash at them?"

"Hey, you know what, your brain has been working a lot better lately..." Gu Yin looked at Xia Qianyi in surprise.

"..." Xia Qianyi's mouth twitched wildly. She couldn't help but raise her hand and put it on Gu Yin's arm. She pinched a handful of flesh and said threateningly, "You say that again?"

"Ha, just kidding, just kidding..." Gu Yin waved his hand and explained as if to change the subject: "You are right, the rear fog lights are brighter, especially when you brake. At night, if you encounter a car behind you with high beams, you can turn on the fog lights and then brake, which can also dazzle the eyes of the car behind you."

"There is such a saying..." Xia Qianyi nodded, muttering: "It's useless to study..."

After thinking for a moment with her head tilted up, she asked again: "? Why didn't you do this when you were driving before?"

She was talking about a time when she went out to eat with Gu Yin, and the car behind them was driving with high beams and kept trying to flash Gu Yin. Gu Yin let the car pass first, then went around behind the car and "clicked" all the way, leaving the car "facing the wind."

"Didn't I just say that..." Gu Yin said bluntly, "The fog lights I just mentioned are for certain car models. Some car models have fog lights on, which can flash the car behind you as I just said, but the car we drive is basically not very bright, and it basically can't play that role, so..."

"So you just went behind them to avoid them?" Xia Qianyi burst out laughing: "You are amazing!"

"...Isn't it because the other party got ahead of us first?" Gu Yin complained to Xia Qianyi: "Today I met a person who modified the lights..."

He recounted the incident on the way here today when he had a face-to-face encounter with the Lexus owner. This incident had been mentioned on the way here, and Xia Qianyi knew about it, but she didn't know that the other person's car headlights had also been modified in this detail.

"That's a violation, right?" Xia Qianyi asked.

"Of course." Gu Yin nodded and said, "There are regulations on the height, color, angle, and appearance of lights. Too bright or too high does not comply with the regulations. Modifications also need to be reported. Some people are just mean and deliberately make those things disgusting."

He was talking about the Lexus owner who turned up the high beam...

The height of the high beam is already blinding enough. If you raise it any higher, it will basically shine directly into people's eyes. It would be even more excessive if you change it to a high-power, particularly bright light.

Changing the lights is definitely not a rare thing in the automotive industry...

There are always some people in this world who are mean. When they drive at night, they use high beams to shine on you and disgust you, and they modify their lights just to contrast with you.

Gu Yin never expected that he would run into such a person right after he thought of this...
