Driving mnemonic: Turn on fog lights, reduce speed, and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles. Precautions for driving in fog: 1. Control speed: When visibility is between 200 and 500 meters, speed should be kept below 80 km/h; when visibility is between 100 and 200 meters, speed should be kept below 60 km/h, etc. 2. Take decisive action: If a traffic accident occurs in foggy conditions, if you can leave the scene immediately, you should evacuate the accident site promptly and avoid lingering in the foggy area. If evacuation is not possible, turn on the vehicle's hazard warning lights, width markers, etc., and place warning signs more than 150 meters in the direction of oncoming traffic to alert other drivers.

I remember the visibility mnemonic for foggy conditions in Subject 4 was '261, 145, 520'—this thing was a huge help when learning to drive. It outlines driving rules for different visibility levels in fog: '261' means when visibility is below 200 meters, speed must not exceed 60 km/h, and you should keep a distance of over 100 meters from the car ahead; '145' means visibility below 100 meters limits speed to 40 km/h with a minimum gap of 50 meters; '520' means if visibility drops below 50 meters, reduce speed to under 20 km/h and quickly find a safe place to stop. Having driven for over a decade, I often use this mnemonic in heavy fog to control my speed while turning on fog lights and hazard lights to alert other drivers and avoid rear-end collisions. The rhyme is easy to remember, but the key lies in action—don’t risk speed for safety. Driving in fog requires extra caution.

I'm currently taking my driver's license test, and for Subject 4, I memorized this foggy weather mnemonic: '261, 145, 520'. It teaches how to control speed and distance in foggy conditions: 261 means when visibility is below 200 meters, drive under 60 km/h and keep 100 meters from the car ahead; 145 means when visibility is below 100 meters, drive under 40 km/h and keep 50 meters; 520 means when visibility is below 50 meters, reduce speed to under 20 km/h and try to stop as soon as possible. During practice, I treated it like a catchy rhyme and combined it with examples from the textbook, like how foggy conditions with blurred vision can easily lead to accidents, and sticking to the mnemonic can help pass the test safely. On the actual road, I also learned to check the weather forecast in advance and minimize trips when the fog is heavy, making my review more effective.

The '261, 145, 520' rule for foggy conditions in Subject 4 is simple and practical. For 261, when visibility is under 200 meters, speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and maintain a distance of over 100 meters; for 145, when visibility is under 100 meters, limit speed to 40 km/h with a 50-meter distance; for 520, when visibility is under 50 meters, reduce speed below 20 km/h and quickly pull over. I've taught this rule to many—it helps control risks. In fog, low visibility means losing control easily if speeding. It's advisable to use front fog lights and rear position lights to enhance visibility. The key is practice to develop safe habits.

What documents are required after purchasing a car?

After buying a car, you must obtain the following documents: a vehicle license, purchase invoice, insurance policy, motor vehicle registration certificate, purchase tax certificate, annual inspection label, compulsory traffic insurance label, and environmental protection label. New vehicles must pass the inspection at the vehicle testing center before license plates can be issued. Precautions for new cars are as follows: 1. Taxation: The taxation process is essential for car purchases. Generally, the tax payment window does not accept cash, so prepare a bank card in advance. Usually, the vehicle management office also has a tax payment window, so you can pay at the dedicated window there. 2. Choosing the model and configuration: The first step in buying a car is selecting the model and the desired configuration. When determining the model, be sure to consider your budget. The principle of car selection is to first decide the type of vehicle you want, such as a sedan or SUV, and then consider your sensitivity to certain parameters, such as fuel consumption, maintenance costs, space, noise level, and loading capacity.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking While Parking?

When you hear abnormal sounds while braking during parking, the possible causes are as follows: 1. Normal ABS Operation: The ABS system works in a cycle of locking and releasing the brakes, keeping the vehicle in a state of near-lock. When you brake hard and trigger the ABS, it produces a clicking sound, which is normal. In this case, you should press the brake pedal firmly all the way down. 2. Safety Reminder: If you hear a clicking sound between the transmission and the gear lever when pressing the brake pedal, the main reason could be the electronic linkage between the braking system and the automatic transmission. Pressing the brake activates the transmission solenoid valve, producing the sound. This serves as a safety reminder, as you need to press the gear lever lock button to shift gears. 3. Loose Chassis Components: If the clicking sound occurs even with light braking, or if your vehicle lacks an automatic transmission lock button, or if the sound is continuous or recurring, it may indicate a fault in the braking system or loose connections in the chassis. 4. Uneven Brake Discs: Warped or uneven brake discs can also cause abnormal sounds when braking.

What should you do when encountering a patch of fog while driving?

When encountering a patch of fog, you should slow down, avoid sudden braking, use your lights, and exit the highway as soon as possible. Here are some additional details: 1. Slow down: If the distance and lane conditions allow, reduce your speed and move into the rightmost lane, then exit the highway or enter a service area to wait it out. When visibility is less than 20000mm but greater than 10000mm, do not exceed 60 km/h. When visibility is less than 10000mm but greater than 5000mm, do not exceed 40 km/h. Additionally, maintain a distance of 2 to 3 times the normal following distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Avoid sudden braking: Sudden braking can easily cause a chain-reaction collision. If you cannot exit the highway, pull over to the emergency stopping lane, turn on your hazard lights immediately to alert other drivers, and place a warning triangle at least 15000mm away from your vehicle in the direction of oncoming traffic. Then, quickly move to a safe area outside the guardrail. 3. Use your lights: Turn on your headlights, fog lights, and side marker lights. If necessary, also turn on your hazard warning lights. Note: Do not use high beams, as they scatter in the fog, creating a blinding whiteout effect that is very dangerous. 4. Exit the highway as soon as possible: If you encounter a patch of fog on the highway, try to stay to the side and proceed slowly. As soon as you see an exit or service area, enter it or exit the highway immediately.

What is Honda CMBS?

Honda CMBS is the Collision Mitigation Braking System. Below is a related introduction to the Collision Mitigation Braking System: 1. Principle: When the millimeter-wave radar detects a risk of rear-ending the vehicle ahead, it alerts the driver with a warning sound. If the vehicle continues to approach the preceding car, it applies light braking to warn the driver through physical sensation. 2. Function: When it is determined that a rear-end collision is unavoidable, CMBS will apply strong braking measures, working in conjunction with the driver's own braking to reduce the rear-end collision speed, effectively helping the driver avoid or minimize damage in the event of a collision.

What to Do When You Have 2 Cars but Only 1 Parking Space at Home?

When you have 2 cars but only 1 parking space at home, you need to pay an additional fee. Here are the details about the parking space: 1. Payment Details: You need to pay an extra fee to bring both cars in, provided that you do not occupy other parking spaces. As a homeowner, with one parking space already, you must pay an additional fee to accommodate both vehicles. 2. Notes: After paying the additional fee, you must input the designated license plate information into the system. The system will automatically recognize and read the license plates of passing vehicles and query the internal database. For vehicles that require automatic passage, the system will drive the electronic gate or barrier gate to let them pass.
