Fog is essentially a kind of fog, but compared with the heavy fog we usually encounter, the direct feeling should be that the fog is thicker. Visibility is lower. The view outside the fog is very good. But the inside of the fog was hazy. The fog is very regional. is extremely difficult to predict. Fog is known as the highway killer. Encountering fog on the highway will cause sudden changes in visibility and easily cause serious traffic accidents.

Because fog is extremely difficult to predict, especially when it is encountered on the highway. This results in a sharp reduction in visibility. Visibility outside the fog has no effect, but once entering the fog, the field of view will be lost instantly and the visibility will be extremely reduced. When you encounter a group of fog, you have no choice but to guard against it. When you encounter a group of fog, you must not panic and keep your brain clear. Some car owners will panic when encountering a cloud of fog, causing them to subconsciously apply the brakes to stop the car. In fact, this operation is very dangerous. The speed of the car is very fast on the highway. When the car suddenly brakes hard, it is easy to cause a rear-end collision.

The correct approach when encountering fog is to slow down by applying the brakes and turn on the double flashers and fog lights to alert vehicles behind you. At this time, you can also turn on all the lights on the car to alert other vehicles. Remember not to brake suddenly, change lanes and overtake. Because the visibility of the fog is extremely low, the front and rear vision disappears, and it is impossible to check whether there are cars in the surrounding lanes, so do not take the shortcut or overtake easily. This also reminds us that we must keep a good distance between vehicles when driving, so that there is a distance buffer when encountering unexpected situations.
