Henan high-speed traffic police remind the foggy day driving essentials
"One subtraction, one plus, one opening, two cautions"
1. Slow down
Depending on the visibility, reduce the speed of the car. According to the provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", when a motor vehicle is driving on a highway and encounters low visibility meteorological conditions such as fog, rain, snow, sand and dust, hail, etc., it shall comply with the following regulations:
(1) When the visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, contour lights and front and rear position lights, and the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the car in front of the same lane;
(2) When the visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam lights, contour lights, front and rear position lights and hazard alarm flash lights, the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and the distance from the car in front of the same lane shall be more than 50 meters;
(3) When the visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, contour lights, front and rear position lights and hazard warning flash lights, the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 20 kilometers per hour, and drive away from the highway as soon as possible from the nearest exit.
2. Increase the distance between driving
To maintain a safe distance from the front car, do not follow too closely, once the front car has an emergency, you can also leave enough emergency distance and reaction time for yourself, usually the safe distance from the front car is 2 to 3 times the normal distance.
3. Turn on the front and rear fog lights or double flash lights
It should be noted that do not use high beams when driving on foggy days, because the design of high beams is a large area of illumination, which is easy to cause scattering in foggy days, and turning on high beams will cause scattered light clusters in front of the eyes of motorists, a snow white, but can not see the front.
4. Change lanes with caution
Foggy weather visibility is too low, can not see the oncoming lane and adjacent lanes, do not change lanes at will, large cars and cars go their own way. At the same time, it is especially necessary to remind some large vehicle drivers that when large vehicles are driving on the highway, they must not occupy the left lane.
5. Use brakes with caution, especially emergency brakes
Sudden emergency braking, the rear car often too late to react, resulting in rear-end collisions. If you need to brake, you can tap the brakes several times in a row, which can not only play a role in reminding the rear car, but also help control the speed.
