Driving in foggy weather
What should I pay attention to?
Use lights properly
The correct use of vehicle lights is the key to ensure driving safety in foggy days. When driving in foggy weather, the driver should turn on the low beams, front and rear fog lights, and if the fog is very large, the double flashing lights can also be turned on.
Remember not to use high beams, because the high beams are directed upwards, and the light emitted by the fog will be diffusely reflected by the fog, which will form a white expanse in front of the car, and you will not be able to see anything when driving. In addition, the windshield wipers can be used intermittently to scrape off small droplets of water condensed by fog on the windshield to improve visibility.
Pay attention to the speed and distance between vehicles
Visibility is reduced in foggy weather, and the distance between people and the distance ahead is shortened. Therefore, in addition to controlling the speed of the vehicle, it is also necessary to maintain a suitable and safe distance.
The Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulate that motor vehicles driving on highways:
When visibility < 200 meters, the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and the distance between the vehicle in front of the same lane shall be more than 100 meters;
When visibility < 100 meters, the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and the distance between the vehicle in front of the same lane shall be more than 50 meters;
When visibility < 50 meters, the vehicle exits the nearest exit or enters the service area.
Don't overtake blindly
Due to the low visibility of the fog, it is impossible to accurately distinguish the distance between vehicles, so do not change lanes and overtake at will during driving. When overtaking a vehicle, honk your horn at the right time and bypass at low speed from the left.
Use a loudspeaker to prompt
When driving in foggy weather, you can honk your horn if necessary, which helps other motor vehicles to judge your position and avoid accidents.
Road accidents, breakdowns
Keep in mind that "the car pulls over, people evacuate, and the police are called"
In the event of an accident or breakdown on the highway, you should keep in mind that "the car pulls over and the person evacues, that is, the police".
If the vehicle can move, move the car to the emergency lane as soon as possible, turn on the fog lights, marker lights and hazard warning flashing lights at the same time, and the personnel on the car quickly move to the right side of the guardrail, and then call the police for help.
