Features: Driving in Fog
1) When visibility is less than 1 kilometer in fog, headlights and rear fog lights must be turned on. Using headlights is not only to see the car ahead but more importantly to alert the car ahead. Otherwise, the car behind may not be noticed before merging, easily causing a rear-end collision.
2) Do not use high beams at night in fog. High beams are designed to illuminate a large area, which can cause scattering in fog, creating scattered light clusters in the driver's field of vision, making it difficult to see ahead.
3) If the fog continues to worsen, switch to front fog lights. There are two types of front fog lights: one is a yellow-illuminating type, which primarily uses the strong penetration of yellow light to see ahead; the other is a downward-projecting type, which primarily illuminates the ground in front of the car, also very effective.
4) When visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on the hazard lights while reducing speed. The yellow light has strong penetration, and the flashing light strongly stimulates the eyes of the driver behind, serving as a warning.
5) When visibility is within 30 meters, the speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour.
6) When dense fog reduces visibility to less than 5 meters, stop in a safe location by the roadside, turn on the headlights, taillights, and side markers, and wait until the fog clears before continuing to drive.
7) If driving on a highway in dense fog, do not slow down too much, as this makes the car more vulnerable to rear-end collisions. If you are too frightened to continue, pull over to the emergency lane, turn on the hazard lights, and place a glowing object 50 to 100 meters behind the car. Additionally, passengers must get out of the car, cross the roadside barrier, and wait outside the road. It is important to know that many tragedies on highways occur when people stop their cars and remain inside, only to be rear-ended by oncoming vehicles.
Driving in Snow After heavy snowfall, clear all snow from the windshield, headlights, and mirrors of the car before starting to ensure clear visibility while driving. Having a cloth on hand is helpful to wipe the inside of the windshield and mirrors during the journey to maintain good visibility.
Snow-covered roads make starting the car difficult. To smoothly merge into traffic, shift the car slightly forward or backward, or use a snow shovel to clear snow in front of the car. After starting the engine, gently press the accelerator without letting the wheels spin, or the car may sink deeper into the snow.
While driving, always be alert to surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. Maintain a sufficient distance from the car ahead and be ready to brake early. If you notice the distance to the car ahead is decreasing, regardless of the reason, immediately reduce speed by lifting off the accelerator and placing your foot on the brake pedal.
Unless you are stopping, never disengage the gear while braking, whether or not you have ABS. Braking in a lower gear can use the engine's deceleration to help reduce speed more quickly. For cars without ABS, disengaging the gear while braking can easily cause wheel lockup. If the front wheels lock up, you lose control of the steering direction, and the car will slide in the direction of inertia, making the steering wheel useless. If the rear wheels lock up, the car will swerve sideways, making steering even more difficult.
Even when braking with the gear engaged, do not slam on the brake pedal unless there is an emergency. Apply gradual pressure. If you need to brake quickly at high speeds, you can directly...
