Which Lights to Use When Driving in Fog?
1 Answers
When driving in fog, turn on the fog lights, position lights, and low beams. In heavy fog with visibility below 50 meters, additionally activate the hazard warning lights. Below are precautions for driving in foggy conditions: 1. Turn on fog lights promptly. Depending on the situation, use fog lights, low beams, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning lights to improve visibility. Importantly, avoid using high beams as they reflect off the fog, creating a blinding glare that reduces visibility. If you cannot continue driving on the highway, pull over to the emergency lane, turn on the hazard warning lights to prevent rear-end collisions. 2. Control speed and maintain distance. Drive at low speed according to visibility, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles and pedestrians. Use the horn when necessary to alert others. Avoid overtaking in fog. If a vehicle ahead is stopped on the right, do not blindly pass; consider if it is yielding to oncoming traffic. When passing parked vehicles, confirm they are not about to move and there is no oncoming traffic before honking and passing slowly from the left. 3. Extremely low visibility. If driving becomes impossible on the highway, stop in the emergency lane, activate hazard warning lights, and set up warning signs as required. Quickly move all passengers to the safety of the right shoulder to avoid the danger of being rear-ended while remaining in the vehicle or on the main road.
