Follow the 5 points， to safer driving in foggy days

In addition to reducing the speed of driving in foggy weather, these points are equally important.

1. Reduce your speed

Truck drivers need to adjust their speed according to the fog conditions that day. Usually the weather forecast will issue different levels of fog warnings. If the visibility is less than 30 meters, it is not recommended for truck drivers to drive. If the visibility is within 100 meters, the speed should not exceed 50 kilometers per hour, and if the visibility is within 200 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour.

2. Use the horn to remind the front and rear vehicles

Sometimes you will suddenly encounter heavy fog on the road. When you feel that the road conditions ahead are abnormal and you cannot judge, you must honk your horn to remind other traffic participants. The drivers of other vehicles will respond to you when they hear the horn. Of course, if you hear horns coming from other directions in a foggy day, you also need to honk the horn to let the other party judge your position and give other drivers a reminder.

3. Don't overtake

A very important point in foggy weather is not to overtake. In foggy weather, you can't tell if a vehicle or pedestrian will suddenly appear in front of you. Unless you can be 100% sure.

4. Reasonable use of lighting

Many truck drivers have a bad driving habit of using high beams on rainy, snowy, foggy days. A reasonable way to use lights in foggy weather is to turn on the headlights of the vehicle and the fog lights at the front and rear of the vehicle. In particular, the fog lights behind the vehicle act as a reminder to other vehicles. Do not use high beams on foggy days. Because the fog will refract the light, it will cause you to see nothing in front of you.

5. Pay attention to highway entrances and exits and service areas

Some experienced truck drivers think that the above 4 points are commonplace, but pay attention to the entrance and exit and service areas of the expressway, I believe that most truck drivers will ignore it. It is very easy to collide with other vehicles waiting to pass or resting at the entrance and exit of the expressway or in the service area if the speed is not controlled well. Moreover, there are frequent personnel exchanges in the service area, and the vision is unclear in foggy days, which is extremely prone to danger.
