Safety measures when driving in hot weather
Below are some safety measures to help drivers feel secure when driving in hot weather.
Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces are experiencing a prolonged heat wave. Many provinces and cities have recorded the highest temperature of over 37 degrees Celsius. The meteorological agency has warned that the heat wave in the southern region is likely to last for many days to come.
Driving in this weather is also difficult. Driving in hot weather will cause harm to your health, especially your eyes and skin.
Below are some safety measures for drivers when driving in hot weather like today.
Wear sunglasses
Wearing sunglasses is one of the most common measures to prevent glare when driving in hot weather... This type of glasses plays a role in protecting the eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays (UV rays). Therefore, wearing sunglasses while driving will help protect the eyes from the harmful effects of UV rays.
Use sunscreen
Many modern, new car models will be equipped with sunshades that come with the car. When opened, this shade combined with the black dot strip on the upper corner of the front windshield helps front seat passengers easily reduce the range of sunlight.
Heat insulation film
Heat-insulating film is the choice of many car owners in Vietnam. Car manufacturers even regularly launch film promotion packages for customers buying new cars.
Heat-insulating film on glass has the effect of reducing glare, reducing the temperature radiation inside the cabin, minimizing the harmful effects of UV rays... However, users also need to calculate and carefully consider the technical parameters, especially the brightness when choosing heat-insulating film because this directly affects the visibility and light in the car.
Wear a baseball cap
Wearing a hat can help limit direct sunlight to the eyes, especially in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is often low in the sky and creates a high risk of glare. In addition, users should also wear a jacket when the sun shines directly on the sitting position to limit UV exposure to the skin.
