When driving in foggy weather, you should also pay attention to the use of lightsRemember to turn on the front and rear fog lights as well as the emergency lightsIf there are no fog lights for the vehicle to turn on the low beams,Never turn on the high beams, the high beam will be reflected by the fog and you will not be able to see the road clearly.
3.The route traveled
When driving on a foggy day when you can't see the road clearly, you should pay attention to driving as close as possible to the yellow line on the road, but you can only get close to the yellow line, and if you don't have a yellow line, you can drive close to the middle of the road but you can't drive in the middle, and you must not drive on the side of the road, so as not to hit the trees or road signs on the side of the road when you can't see the road clearly.
4.Control the distance between vehicles
It is very important to keep a certain distance when driving in foggy days, and do not follow other people's vehicles because you can't see the road clearly in foggy days, which is very dangerousBe sure to distance the two cars away to prevent rear-end collisions caused by emergency braking of the car in front.
5.Overtake with caution
Due to the low visibility in foggy days, vehicles will drive at low speeds, so don't be anxious at this time, and be ready to overtake when you see the car in front of you being too slow.
6.Use of warm air
The weather is cold and the heater will be turned on, and there is heat in the car, so that a cold and a hot will cause fog on the front windshield to affect the line of sight, do not wipe it with your hands after the fog, even if it will appear again after wiping, so that the constant wipe will affect the safety of the driving vehicle. At this time, you can adjust the direction of the warm air to blow all the way to the glass in front of you, so that the fog on the glass will disappear.
7.Park carefully
If you want to pull over when driving in foggy weather, be sure to pay attentionTurn on your turn signals ahead of time and slowly approach the side of the road to park. Turn on the emergency lights after parking, stay away from the vehicle after getting out of the car, and do not stay in the vehicle to prevent the danger of rear-end collision by the rear vehicle.
