How to drive safely in foggy weather?

In foggy days, whether it is expressway or ordinary highway, as long as the visibility is less than 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 above lights and turn on the hazard warning flash, that is, double flashing lights. Lighting is the best weapon for other vehicles to observe you better and avoid accidents, but don't turn on the high beam at this time, because the high beam will only make the line of sight more blurred.

2. Pay attention to the speed and slow down.

It is stipulated that the visibility is less than 200 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and the distance from the vehicle in front of the same lane should be greater than 100 meters; Visibility is less than 100 meters, the speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and the distance from the vehicle in front of the same lane shall be more than 50 meters; When the visibility is less than 50 meters, the speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour, and you should leave expressway from the nearest exit as soon as possible.

Keeping the distance between cars and slowing down is the key to prevent rear-end collision in foggy days. Don't make excuses to say that there are too many cars on the road. Where can we keep the distance between cars as mentioned in the traffic law? If you don't want to have an accident, please stay away from those vehicles that have to be in groups. You can follow these groups of cars from a distance, or you can look for opportunities to overtake and then leave them far behind. But if you are in these groups of cars, you can only rely on luck when the danger occurs.

Step on the brakes frequently and smoothly.

Frequent and steady braking is to control the speed. When braking, the taillight will light up, which can remind the vehicles behind to keep the distance. Don't slam on the accelerator in foggy weather, and avoid sudden braking and steering wheel. If you need to slow down, first slowly release the throttle, and then gently step on the brakes several times in a row to prevent rear-end collision.

4. Try to choose the middle lane when driving at high speed.

Try to drive in the middle in foggy days, because if you drive by the side of the road, you will accidentally scrape, touch or hit the guardrail to avoid colliding with the vehicles in the emergency lane.

5: It is best to pull over when dense fog or fog strikes.

In case of heavy fog or fog at high speed, it is best to park the vehicle on the hard shoulder, turn on the hazard warning flash at the same time, and set warning signs at the direction of coming vehicles150m. After parking, people in the car should get off from the right side, and then all of them should retreat outside the guardrail to prevent the passing vehicles from being injured. When the line of sight recovers to a certain extent, you should leave or stop in a safe area as soon as possible, and don't look back.

6. Glass demisting

In foggy days, the front windshield is prone to fog. Don't drive while driving at this time, it will distract the driver and easily lead to traffic accidents. When the glass is foggy, just turn on the air conditioner or open the window slightly.

7: Listen to all directions in foggy days.

It is very easy to have rear-end collisions in foggy days, and most of them are serial rear-end collisions. At this time, people should drive as fast as possible to ensure their own safety. If you hear the sound of a car colliding ahead, don't hesitate, immediately slow down and observe the rearview mirror to see the situation, find a safe place to park, and people get off to avoid.

8. What if there is a traffic accident?

Once a traffic accident occurs in foggy days, safety measures should be taken quickly to protect the scene and report the case in time. People in the car should stay away from the vehicle and hide outside the guardrail for the first time. The rear vehicle shall not occupy the emergency lane, and a green passage shall be reserved for the rescue, dredging and cleaning of the accident vehicle.
