When driving in foggy weather, you should turn on fog lights, position lights or low beam lights in time. If you are driving on the highway or in thick fog, you should turn them on. Hazard warning flashing lights.

Remember not to use high beam, because the high beam shines upward, and the light emitted is diffusely reflected by the fog, which will form a vast white field in front of the car, making it impossible to see anything while driving. In addition, you can use the wipers intermittently to wipe away the small water droplets formed by fog on the windshield to improve your visibility.

●Pay attention to the speed and distance between vehicles

When the visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights and front and rear position lights. The vehicle speed must not exceed 60 kilometers per hour. Keep a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front of you in the same lane;

When visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights and hazard warning flashers, and the vehicle speed must not exceed 40 kilometers per hour kilometers, keep a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane;

When the visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights and hazard warning flashers, and the vehicle speed must not exceed 20 kilometers per hour and take the nearest exit as quickly as possible off the highway.

● Don’t overtake blindly

If you find the vehicle in front of you parked on the right, don’t overtake blindly, because it is probably waiting for the oncoming vehicle to pass. When overtaking a vehicle parked on the roadside, after confirming that there is no intention to start and there is no oncoming vehicle, honk the horn at the appropriate time and bypass the vehicle from the left at low speed.

In addition, when driving in foggy weather, you cannot drive on the line. When driving on curves and slopes, you should slow down in advance to avoid changing speed, stopping or stalling midway.

● Do not slam on the brakes

It is impossible to tell the distance between cars in foggy weather. If you brake suddenly, the car behind you will not be able to judge the distance, leading to a rear-end collision. If you need to slow down, slowly release the accelerator and apply the brake lightly continuously to prevent collisions, scratches and rear-end collisions.

● Turn on the defogging function of the vehicle

Once fog occurs in autumn and winter, fog will easily occur in the car. Therefore, it is necessary to turn on the defogging function of the rear window and rearview mirror, and Position the air outlet toward the front windshield to prevent fog from affecting driving visibility.

● When visibility is too low, please stop and wait for the fog to clear

When encountering heavy fog, drivers must wait patiently and cannot rush into the fog area just to grab time. Because when the heavy fog first disperses, the fog along the highway is often thick and light, making it difficult to control vehicle speeds and making traffic accidents more likely to occur. Therefore, we should not take it lightly.
