What to Do When Encountering Patchy Fog on the Highway?

[AbelDella]

Here are the solutions for encountering patchy fog on the highway: 1. Slow down: Stay calm when entering a patchy fog area. If the distance and lane conditions allow, slow down and move to 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, 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 distance 2 to 3 times the normal following distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Avoid sudden braking: When suddenly entering a patchy fog area, abrupt 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 vehicles behind you. 3. Use proper lighting: When entering a patchy fog area, turn on your headlights, fog lights, and position lights. If necessary, activate your hazard warning lights. Note: Do not use high beams, as they scatter in fog, creating a blinding whiteout effect that is extremely dangerous.
