The visibility of driving on foggy days is low, the line of sight is not clear, the road surface is slippery, the braking performance of the vehicle becomes poor, and it is easy to slip or cause the vehicle to overturn. So, how to drive safely on foggy days?
Rational use of headlights. When driving on a foggy day, the front and rear fog lights should be turned on. If on the highway or in a very foggy situation, you also need to turn on the double flashing lights. In addition, high beams must not be used on foggy days, because when the high beams shine upwards, the light is diffusely reflected by the fog, which will form a white expanse in front of the car.
Control the speed and maintain the distance. When driving on foggy days, pay attention to controlling the speed, adjust the distance according to the size and visibility of the fog, and press the horn frequently. Visibility in 100 meters ~ 200 meters, the speed should be ≤ 60km / h, the distance should be maintained at more than 100 meters; visibility in 50 meters ~ 100 meters, the speed should be ≤ 40km / h, the distance should be maintained above 50 meters; visibility within 50 meters, the speed should be ≤ 20km / h, vehicles driving on the highway, must open fog lights, low beam lights, width lights and tail lights according to the provisions, under the principle of ensuring safety to drive away from the fog area or into the nearest service area temporarily avoid, wait for the fog to dissipate before driving.
Keep your vision clear. Driving on foggy days, when encountering fogging in the front windshield, you should turn on the air conditioner or open the window slightly, which can eliminate or avoid glass fogging.
Do not brake hard. Driving on a foggy day, it is impossible to distinguish the distance, and the emergency braking will make the rear car unable to judge the distance leading to rear-end collision. If you need to brake, you can tap the brake several times in a row, which can not only control the speed, but also play a role in reminding the rear car.
Choose lanes carefully. Driving on foggy days, if it is a one-way three-lane, try to choose the middle lane to drive; if it is a one-way two-lane, try to choose the outer lane to drive.
Try to avoid overtaking. Visibility on foggy days is too low, and the owner should try to avoid overtaking because he can't see the opposite lane and the adjacent lane.
