Many vehicles collided on the Zhengxin Yellow River Bridge in heavy fog. What should you pay attention to when driving in fog?

Science Fiction Network, December 28 (Jin Kaiyi) On December 28, a large number of vehicles collided in the north-south lane of the Zhengxin Yellow River Bridge in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Hundreds of cars were squeezed together, and the scene was horrible. According to insiders, the accident happened at about 8 o'clock in the morning. It was foggy in the morning and the ground was too slippery with ice, which caused many vehicles to rear-end. At present, 120 emergency, traffic police and fire have rushed to the scene to deal with it.

Winter is the season with the highest incidence of fog. Driving in foggy weather has low visibility and unclear sight, which can easily cause drivers to have illusions. At the same time, due to the slippery road surface, the braking performance of the vehicle deteriorates, which can easily cause the vehicle to skid or roll over. So, what should you pay attention to when driving in foggy weather?

When driving in foggy weather, you must control your speed. Due to low visibility, you cannot see pedestrians and vehicles in front of you clearly. Driving at a low speed can help you brake and stop immediately when encountering an emergency. Proper use of brakes can control your speed on the one hand, and on the other hand, the taillights will light up when you brake to remind the vehicles behind you to keep a safe distance.

Be sure to turn on the front and rear fog lights, low beam lights, and position lights , and, if necessary, the hazard warning lights . Never turn on the high beam, as it will be reflected by the fog and you will not be able to see the road clearly.

When you cannot see the road clearly in foggy weather, you should try to drive along the lane lines. On roads without lane lines, you can drive close to the middle of the road, but not in the middle. Also, do not drive close to the side of the road to avoid hitting trees or road signs on the side of the road and causing accidents.

Due to low visibility, vehicles will drive at a low speed. If you see the car in front of you is driving too slowly or parked on the side of the road, do not overtake blindly, and do not follow other vehicles just because you cannot see the road clearly, to avoid rear-end collisions when the car in front of you brakes suddenly.

Turning on the heater in the car will cause fog on the front windshield and affect your vision. When fog appears, do not wipe it with your hands. Instead, adjust the direction of the heater and let it blow on the front glass all the time. This will make the fog on the glass disappear.

Driving in fog is not easy. No matter what, you must concentrate highly, slow down, look, and then pass. Drive slowly and carefully to ensure safe travel.
