How should drivers avoid accidents when driving in foggy and rainy days? Visibility is extremely low, and how to ensure driving safety in foggy days has become a concern of many drivers. Then, let's share with you how to drive safely in foggy days.

Rational use of lighting

First of all, when driving in foggy weather, you must know how to use lights reasonably. No matter in expressway or expressway, as long as the visibility is below 200 meters, it is necessary to turn on fog lights, low beam lights, position lights and front and rear position lights. When the visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on the lights above and turn on the danger warning flash, which is what we often call double flashing. However, it should be noted that driving in foggy days, never turn on the high beam, because the high beam will only make the line of sight more blurred.

Pay attention to the speed and drive smoothly.

Keeping the distance between cars and slowing down is the key to prevent rear-end collision in foggy days. China's traffic law stipulates that the visibility is less than 200 meters, the speed is not more than 60 kilometers per hour, and the distance between cars in the same lane should be greater than 100 meters; When the visibility is less than 100 meters, the speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers, and keep a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle in front of the same lane.

Frequent and smooth braking

The purpose of frequent and stable braking in foggy days is to control the vehicle speed. Turning on the taillights when braking can also remind the vehicles behind to keep their distance. But when driving in foggy weather, remember not to step on the accelerator, slam the brakes or slam the steering wheel. If you really need to slow down, first slowly release the accelerator, and then gently step on the brakes several times in a row to prevent rear-end collision.

Use the horn often.

In the case of poor eyesight in foggy days, frequent whistling can be used as a warning to pedestrians and other vehicles. When you hear other vehicles honking, you should honk in response immediately and prompt the driving position. When two cars meet, you should use the horn to remind the opposite car, and at the same time turn off the anti-fog lights to avoid giving the other side a dazzling feeling. If the opponent is faster, take the initiative to slow down and give way.
