Since February,
Nanning weather is low temperature wet and cold,
During the driving process, the fogging phenomenon of the windows is frequent,
For some novice drivers
Or "Ma Daha" driver,
The front windshield is foggy
Leading to "two eyes and one gray",
It's a terrible feeling.
Some people in a panic wiped the glass with their hands,
Or simply stop by the side of the road,
Prone to accidents.
A few days ago, on the Quannan Expressway, the driver Mr. Li did not know how to deal with the glass fogging during the drive, so he simply wiped it with his hands, and hit the roadside guardrail in the process. Fogging out of the windows is a small thing, but improper handling can lead to accidents, so it is very important to master the skills of defogging. In fact, defogging the windows is very simple, the most common is to open the air conditioning system.

Foggy windows don't know how to deal with it
Accidents on the highway
On February 16, Ms. Luo, who lives on Baihualing Road in Qingxiu District, Nanning City, drove out alone, the vehicle just walked out not far, the window was foggy, Ms. Luo suddenly panicked, she tried to wipe it with her hands, but the effect was not good, and finally slowly pulled over and called her family for help. "I'm a novice driver, and I usually drive less, so I don't know what to do when I encounter this situation." Under the guidance of her family's phone, Ms. Luo turned on the air conditioner in the car, and the fog on the front windshield gradually dissipated.
Compared with Ms. Luo, Mr. Li, who is driving on the highway, is more "congested". On February 7 this year, the 13th Brigade of the Expressway Management Detachment of the Traffic Police Corps of the Guangxi District Public Security Department received an alarm that a unilateral accident involving a collision between a vehicle and a guardrail occurred at the intersection of the G80 Guangkun Expressway into the G72 Quannan Expressway Liujing B ramp (toward Nanning).

After investigation, the accident was caused by the distracted driving and operation errors of mr. Li, the driver of the red car. On the same day, Mr. Li drove the vehicle alone from Xingye County, Yulin City to Nanning, during the driving process, due to the cold weather, the car was heated, there was a large temperature difference between the vehicle and the external environment, and the front windshield of the vehicle was fogged. Mr. Li did not know how to remove the fog, he could only wipe it with his hands, so he wiped the glass while driving all the way. When driving to the road section of the incident, the fog of the car window blocked his view, but just as he leaned forward and was about to remove the fog, the result was that the body center of gravity was unstable, coupled with the large curvature in the ramp, the steering wheel of the vehicle was offset, and the vehicle lost control until it hit the guardrail on the side of the road.
Fortunately, the driver, Mr. Li, fastened his seat belt during the driving process and was not injured. In the end, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the police determined that Mr. Li was fully responsible for the accident.
Quick fog removal has tricks
Air conditioning defogging is the most common
During the interview, the reporter learned that cases of fogging in the car window are not effectively handled occasionally, although it seems to be a small thing, but improper handling may cause major incidents, so it is very important to master the defogging skills. How can I quickly remove fog from my windows? The reporter personally tested and combined with the traffic police explanation, to give everyone a support.

The most common way is to turn on the air conditioner. For most car owners, the use of air conditioning system to remove fog is the most common way, at present, basically all the car front windshield has air conditioning outlet, after opening the air conditioning, pay attention to the air conditioning to select the corresponding gear, to ensure that the air outlet in the front windshield can be.
The reporter personally tested that the current windshield fogged, and the manual air conditioner opened the A/C refrigeration + external circulation in the car for the first time. The principle is to use the refrigeration and dehumidification function of the air conditioner to let the cold wind blow the forward windshield, and the humid air condenses into water through the condenser to discharge it, which plays a dehumidification effect; at the same time, the external circulation can exchange the humid and hot air in the car, reduce the humidity in the car, and the fog will soon disappear.
Although this method works well, it is really cold, and it should be used as appropriate when it is cold. And after turning off the cold air, the fog may also appear again.
It is more convenient if the vehicle has automatic air conditioning. Vehicles usually have a "one-key defogging" button, generally located on the car's center console, when the window foggy, just press the "FRONT", the air conditioning computer will automatically adjust the best rapid defogging mode, you can remove the fog in the front windshield.
When reversing and looking behind, press the "REAR" button to remove fog from the rear windshield. After the fog dissipates, reduce the air volume and maintain the defogging mode.
Fog is not likely to open the window convection
Regular mist eliminators can be used if necessary
If the fog in the car is not large, you can open a gap (2 finger width) on both sides of the window, so that the air inside and outside the car can form convection, reduce the temperature difference, and the fog will slowly disappear. The principle of this method is the same as that of turning on the air conditioner cold air, but it does not increase fuel consumption.
Sometimes the side windows also fog, affecting the driver's observation of the rearview mirrors on both sides of the car. At this time, we can adjust the air outlet on the side of the side window on the basis of air conditioning defogging, and do not let it blow directly to the glass of the side window, which can generally solve the fog problem.
In addition to the above methods, some car owners will use soapy water and detergent sprayed on the window glass to form an oil film to achieve the effect of defogging, but this method is not effective at night. It is recommended that you still use a regular mist eliminator on the front windshield and window in advance to effectively avoid condensation of water vapor on the glass surface and avoid fog trouble.
