Safety instructions for driving on foggy days

Please be sure to keep in mind the majority of drivers

● Correct use of lights

Driving on foggy days should turn on fog lights, marker lights or low beam lights in time, and if driving on the highway or the fog is very thick, turn on the hazard warning flash. Remember not to use high-beam lights, because the high beams are illuminated upwards, and the light emitted is diffusely reflected by the fog, which will form a white expanse in front of the car, and when driving, nothing can be seen. In addition, a wiper can be used intermittently to scrape the small droplets of water on the windshield due to fog condensation to improve the line of sight.

● Keep the speed low

When driving in the fog, it is necessary to strictly abide by the prescribed speed limit and do not drive fast cars. The larger the fog, the shorter the viewing distance, and the lower the speed of the vehicle. In case of dense fog visibility of less than 50 meters, the speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour, at which point you should exit the highway as soon as possible from the nearest exit. In particular, the fog is not the same as ordinary fog, the visibility of the previous section of the road is still 100 meters, and after a few minutes, the visibility on the road will become 10 meters, which is very dangerous for high-speed vehicles.

● Do not blindly overtake

If you find the vehicle in front of you parked on the right, don't blindly overtake, because it is likely to be waiting for the opposite car to pass. When passing a vehicle parked on the side of the road, after confirming that there is no intention to start and there is no car on the other side, honk the horn at the right time and go around at a low speed from the left side. In addition, driving on foggy days can not press the line, in the corners and ramps, should be slowed down in advance, to avoid halfway shifting, parking or stalling.

● Do not slam on the brakes

It is impossible to distinguish the distance between the cars on foggy days, and if you urgently step on the brakes, the rear car will not be able to judge the distance and lead to rear-end collisions. If you need to slow down, you should slowly relax the throttle and continuously press the brake to prevent collisions, scraping and rear-end accidents.

● In case of emergency, turn on the hazard alarm flash and set up warning signs

In the event of a traffic accident on a foggy day, a warning sign should be set up behind the vehicle, and the vehicle's hazard alarm flashing light should be turned on to alert the vehicle behind. After making a warning, the personnel on the car should immediately withdraw to a safe place, and at the same time report to the police, do not stay in the car or walk in the lane to avoid the occurrence of secondary accidents.

● Vehicle turn on the defogging function

In autumn and winter, once fog is generated, the car is also prone to fog, so it is necessary to open the rear window defogging, rearview mirror defogging function, and the air outlet towards the forward windshield to avoid fog affecting the driving line of sight. After confirming that the vehicle in front has no intention of starting and there is no car on the opposite side, honk the horn at the right time and go around at a low speed from the left side. In addition, driving on foggy days can not press the line, and should slow down in advance when driving in curves and slopes to avoid shifting, stopping or turning off the engine in the middle.

● When you can see too low, please stop and wait for the fog to dissipate

When visibility is less than 10 meters, drive to a roadside safety zone or parking lot, and then get on the road when visibility improves. If you must drive in the fog, you must choose the driving speed that can quickly stop in the face of the situation according to the visibility of the foggy day (the visual distance must be greater than the braking distance).
