When driving in foggy weather, you should pay attention to these things (1)

1. Slow down and keep distance between cars

During foggy weather, visibility is low, so slow down, strictly abide by traffic regulations and drive at speed limits, and never drive fast. The shorter the visual distance, the lower the vehicle speed must be.

In addition, it is also very important to maintain a reasonable distance between vehicles. In hazy weather, the reasonable distance between vehicles should be adjusted at any time depending on the size of the haze. Especially when turning or overtaking, you should pay attention to observation and judgment to prevent being caught off guard when an emergency occurs.

2. Fog lights must be used correctly

Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. When the visibility is less than 30 meters, they can often play a strong warning role. Generally, fog lights are bright and penetrating, allowing other vehicles approaching or behind you to observe your position. However, usually strong light will make other vehicles feel uncomfortable and affect the driver's vision.

3. Apply the brakes frequently and gently while driving

When driving in heavy fog, apply the brakes frequently and gently. Firstly, you can control the speed of the vehicle. Secondly, the taillights will brighten when braking. Remind vehicles behind you to keep your distance.

When driving in a foggy area, generally do not step on or release the accelerator quickly, let alone emergency braking or turning the steering wheel. If you think you really need to reduce the vehicle speed, first slowly relax the accelerator, and then lightly apply the brakes several times to control the vehicle speed.

4. Honk the horn frequently

When driving in foggy weather, honk the horn frequently to warn vehicles and pedestrians. Especially when passing through a traffic intersection, honking the horn can alert vehicles that are turning or going straight. Give way to pedestrians to prevent traffic accidents.
