Brief Introduction to Safe Driving Techniques in Fog

[DeDallas]

When driving in foggy conditions, always observe the surroundings of the vehicle and use the car's lights correctly. The following are safe driving techniques in fog: 1. Turn on fog lights: When driving in fog, turn on the fog lights and low beams, but avoid using high beams. The high beams, with their elevated light, can be refracted by the dense fog and easily shine into the eyes of oncoming drivers, blurring their vision. 2. Use the horn frequently: Frequently honk the horn to alert pedestrians and other vehicles. Upon hearing another vehicle's horn, respond immediately to indicate your vehicle's position. 3. Maintain a safe distance: Drive at a low speed in fog and keep a sufficient safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 4. Stay towards the middle of the road, not the edge: Avoid driving along the roadside to guard against roadside drainage ditches. 5. Do not wipe the windshield while driving: In heavy fog, the condensation on the curved windshield can further impair your limited visibility. Consider using the windshield wipers to remove condensation from the front windshield. If you need to wipe the fog off the windshield manually, stop the car first and then wipe it. Never wipe while driving.
