What to Do When Encountering Fog Banks on Highways?

[LaKeira]

Here are the solutions for encountering fog banks on highways: Slow Down: Stay calm when entering a fog bank area. If the distance and lane conditions allow, reduce speed and move into the far-right lane, then slowly exit the highway or enter a service area for a temporary stop. When visibility is less than 200 meters but greater than 100 meters, maintain a speed below 60 km/h. If visibility is less than 100 meters but greater than 50 meters, keep the speed under 40 km/h. Additionally, maintain a following distance 2 to 3 times the normal gap between vehicles. Avoid Sudden Braking: When suddenly entering a fog bank, abrupt braking can easily cause a chain-reaction collision. If you cannot exit the highway, pull over to the emergency stopping lane, immediately turn on the hazard lights to alert vehicles behind you. Use Lights Properly: Upon entering a fog bank, turn on the headlights, fog lights, and position lights. If necessary, activate the hazard warning flashers. Note: Do not use high beams, as they scatter in fog and create a blinding whiteout effect, which is extremely dangerous.
