1 Answers
When unable to continue driving after an accident on the highway in foggy weather, you must turn on the hazard warning lights and taillights, and set up a warning sign approximately 150 meters behind the vehicle as required. Precautions for driving in foggy weather: Proper use of lights: In foggy weather with low visibility, fog lights and contour lights must be turned on, and high beams should be avoided. Control speed: When visibility is less than 500 meters but greater than 200 meters, the speed should not exceed 80 km/h; when visibility is less than 200 meters but greater than 100 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h; when visibility is less than 100 meters but greater than 50 meters, the speed should not exceed 40 km/h; when visibility is within 30 meters, the speed should be controlled below 20 km/h; when visibility is around 10 meters, the speed should be controlled below 5 km/h. Maintain a sufficient safe distance from the vehicle ahead: Do not follow too closely, and avoid overtaking casually. Additionally, honk the horn frequently to indicate your position. Precautions for driving on the highway: Always pay attention to the signs before service areas. When approaching a service area, merge to the right lane in advance and reduce the vehicle speed to below 100 km/h. Upon entering the service area, strictly adhere to the speed limit signs. The driving lanes within highway service areas are usually marked on the ground. After entering the service area, vehicles should strictly follow these markings to avoid traffic congestion and potential accidents. Service areas also have clearly marked parking spaces. Some drivers, however, park haphazardly for personal convenience, which is highly irresponsible and can easily lead to vehicle congestion.
