What are the safety precautions for driving in foggy days?

1) Turn on the fog lights.

When driving in foggy weather, turn on fog lights and low beam lights, not high beam lights. The light of the high beam is relatively high, and it is easy to be refracted by the fog and then enter the eyes of the driver driving in the opposite direction, making his sight blurred.

Always honk your horn to warn pedestrians and vehicles. When you hear the horns of other cars, you should immediately whistle to indicate the position of your car.

If you find that many oncoming cars have their width lights or front fog lights on, there may be fog or heavy rain on the road ahead. If you feel that the fog affects your vision, turn on the fog lights and control the speed.

2) Drive at a low speed and pay attention to safety.

Drive as slowly as possible in the fog and keep a safe distance from the car in front. When the temperature is low and the humidity is high, the pavement is easy to form thin frost to avoid emergency braking. Pay attention to the distance from the car in front when following the car.

3) It's best to be in the middle, not along the roadside.

In fog, you can make full use of the remaining sight distance and pay attention to the lanes in the road. But be careful not to cross the line, or you will be in danger when you meet a car.

4) Don't fog while walking.

The glass must be cleaned. When encountering heavy fog, the windshield surface condensed with water vapor will cause greater damage to the driver's sight. The lights on the opposite car will be as bright as fireworks. Consider using a wiper to brush off the condensed water vapor on the front windshield.

Due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor of the cab, the inside of the windshield is often covered with a thin layer of fog, which blocks the line of sight. Using air conditioning defogging block can quickly defog; Open a slit in the window to let the air circulate inside and outside the car and keep the temperature consistent, so as to avoid the fog from condensing on the windshield; If you want to wipe off the fog on the windshield by hand, please wipe it after parking, not while walking.

5) After parking, passengers should stay away from the vehicle.

If you think the fog is too heavy and want to stop until the fog clears, you can park your car near the side of the road and turn on the fog lights, low beam lights and double jump lights. The most important thing is that after parking, everyone should get off from the right, stay away from the road as far as possible, and never sit in the car. If it is an emergency parking bay in expressway, people had better climb over the guardrail and wait outside the roadbed.
