Precautions for driving on foggy days
1
Slow down and avoid overtaking
Foggy weather, low visibility, and too fast speed can easily lead to inability to react in time when the car in front of you is found, resulting in bad consequences. Therefore, in foggy weather, the slower the speed of the car, the lower the visibility, the lower the speed must also be.
When the visibility is less than 200 meters and more than 100 meters, the speed must not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and the following distance should be greater than 100 meters;
When the visibility is less than 100 meters and more than 50 meters, the speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and the following distance should be greater than 50 meters;
When visibility is less than 50 meters, the speed must not exceed 20 kilometers per hour.
Special reminder: When the visibility is less than 10 meters, it is recommended to find a safe place to park and not continue driving.
02
Use lights correctly
Fog lights should be turned on when driving on foggy days, and if the fog is very large, double flashing should be turned on to make it easier for other vehicle drivers to observe themselves to avoid rear-end collisions or scratching accidents.
When the visibility is less than 200 meters and more than 100 meters, turn on the low beam, fog light, contour light and front and rear position lights;
When the visibility is less than 100 meters, in addition to turning on the low beam, fog light, marker light and front and rear position lights, it is also necessary to turn on the hazard alarm flash.
Special reminder: do not use high beams on foggy days! In foggy weather, high beams can not play a role in expanding the field of vision, but will become a "driving killer".
03
Don't slam on the brakes
Suddenly stepping on the brakes on a foggy day can easily cause the driver of the rear car to react too late and a rear-end accident.
If you need to brake, you can continuously tap the brake, one is to control the speed, and the other is to turn on the tail light when braking, which can remind the vehicle behind to pay attention to maintaining the distance.
04
Do a good job of defogging in the car
There is fog in the car, so don't drive while wiping the fog. The correct way to remove fog is to open the window to allow air to convect, so that the temperature inside and outside the car is balanced. In addition, you can also open the air conditioner's own defogging mode, there are two methods of cold air defogging and warm air defogging.
Cold air defogging speed is fast, the effect is obvious, but the use of low temperature in winter is too cold;
The warm air defogging speed is relatively slow, but the effect is better, the duration is long, the disadvantage is that the fog in the car will suddenly become larger when the warm air is just opened, and it is recommended to stop and then operate.
05
Pay attention to the choice of driving route
Driving on foggy days, if it is a one-way three-lane, try to drive in the middle lane; if it is a one-way two-lane, try to drive in the outer lane.
06
Use a horn to indicate if necessary
Foggy days have low visibility, the driver's vision is blurred, driving on the road, honking the horn in the section of the road allows to attract the attention of the opposing vehicle, and when the oncoming vehicle is heard honking, the horn should be honked in response.
