What to Do When Encountering Fog Banks on the Highway?
1 Answers
Here are solutions for encountering fog banks on the highway: 1. Slow down: Stay calm when entering a fog bank area. If the distance and lane conditions allow, slow down and move into the far-right lane, then exit the highway or enter a service area for a temporary stop. When visibility is less than 200 meters but greater than 100 meters, do not exceed 60 km/h. When visibility is less than 100 meters but greater than 50 meters, do not exceed 40 km/h. Additionally, maintain a distance 2 to 3 times the normal following distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Avoid sudden braking: Many drivers instinctively slam on the brakes when suddenly entering a fog bank. However, this can easily cause a chain-reaction collision. If you cannot exit the highway, pull over to the emergency stopping lane, immediately turn on your hazard lights to alert vehicles behind you, and place a warning triangle 150 meters away in the direction of oncoming traffic. Quickly move to a safe area outside the guardrail to avoid rear-end collisions.
