What lights should I use to drive in foggy weather?

Reasonable use of car lights when driving in foggy days.

1. The correct use of headlights is an important factor to ensure the safety of driving in foggy days. When driving in foggy weather, the driver should turn on all the front and rear fog lights, and if the fog is heavy, he can also turn on the double flashing lights. The main function of turning on fog lights and double flashing lights is to let drivers of other vehicles observe you better and avoid rear-end collision or scraping accidents.

In particular, some drivers think it would be better to turn on the high beam. In fact, the high beam will make the line of sight worse. Therefore, it is suggested that the driver can use the high beam as a signal light to ensure that the other party can find you more easily when passing by, but the flashing time of the high beam should be extremely short, so as not to affect the other party's line of sight and cause an accident.

In addition, check whether the wiper is in good condition before going out. When the fog falls on the windshield during driving, make sure that the wiper can scrape off the water vapor smoothly to ensure a good line of sight.

Listen to all directions. Listening is very important.

Hearing is equally important to drivers when driving on the highway. Once you hear the sound of a car collision ahead, you should stop at the side of the road quickly and turn on all the lights while ensuring safety. People in the car need to climb over the guardrail and wait at the roadside, and set up warning signs behind the car150m along the outside of the road, and then quickly leave the road. Once a rear-end collision occurs on a foggy expressway, it is mostly a serial rear-end collision. At this time, people should leave the road quickly to ensure their own safety.

Step 3 pull over at the right time

It was too late to enter the nearest service area in case of sudden heavy fog. You should park your car in the emergency stop of the expressway as soon as possible, and turn on the fog lights, width lights and taillights at the same time. In addition, warning signs should be set at the direction of coming cars150m.

After parking, get off on the right and try to stay away from the road. Never sit in the car and avoid the guardrail to avoid being hit by passing cars. When the line of sight is restored to a certain extent, leave the emergency stop as soon as possible.

4. In case of heavy fog, don't drive until the sight is completely restored.

In foggy days, drivers must wait patiently, and can't rush into foggy areas in order to seize time. Because the fog along the expressway is often thick and light at the beginning of the fog, the speed is difficult to control and traffic accidents are more likely to occur, so we can't take it lightly.

In addition, the high-speed police said that if you encounter foggy weather, you should try to avoid choosing highways to avoid accidents due to low visibility in foggy days.

5. Pay attention to the speed limit.

Even in the light fog area, the driving speed should be appropriately reduced and the driving distance should be appropriately increased. When the visibility is 200 meters to 500 meters, the anti-glare low beam lamp, width indicator lamp and tail lamp must be turned on, the speed shall not exceed 80km/h, and the distance between vehicles shall be kept above150m. When the visibility is between 100m and 200m, the fog lights, anti-glare low beam lights, width indicator lights and tail lights must be turned on, the vehicle speed shall not exceed 60km, and the distance between vehicles shall be kept above 100m. When the visibility is between 50 meters and 100 meters, the vehicle speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and the distance between vehicles shall be kept above 50 meters, except turning on the above lights.

When the visibility is below 50 meters, it is extremely dense fog, and the public security organ may take traffic management measures in accordance with the regulations to close some or all highways. At this time, drivers of vehicles that have entered the expressway must turn on fog lights, anti-glare low beam lights, width lights and tail lights according to regulations, and leave the foggy area under the principle of ensuring safety, and the speed shall not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. You can also find the nearest service area to avoid temporarily until the fog clears.

6. Defogging skills of front windshield

When driving in foggy weather, the front windshield fogs easily. Don't drive while wiping the fog at this time. When encountering fog on the front windshield, turn on the air conditioner or slightly open the window to eliminate or avoid the fog on the glass.
