Driving in fog, what should drivers pay attention to?

In order to avoid unnecessary accidents, the Traffic Police Department warns drivers to get into the habit of carefully checking the entire warning light system, brakes and tires before starting off. Because some vehicles are only equipped with white fog lights instead of yellow fog lights, which will not be effective when moving in dense fog conditions.

Therefore, the Traffic Police Department recommends that drivers should keep a few pieces of yellow or red plastic on their vehicles to stick on their headlights when necessary. When the fog is thick, they can turn on the hazard lights and turn signals to help other vehicles identify them. As for vehicles equipped with fog lights, turning off the headlights will help increase the effectiveness of the yellow light.

During this time in the North, it is foggy and drizzly in the early morning and evening, so drivers need to strictly comply with the regulations of the Road Traffic Law, especially the regulations on speed, pay attention, keep a safe distance, and drive in the correct lane.

In addition, drivers should get into the habit of keeping a safe distance between vehicles, driving in the correct lane, using the accelerator evenly, using the brakes appropriately, not accelerating too hard, not braking suddenly, and especially not turning the steering wheel suddenly is also a way to minimize risks when participating in traffic in foggy weather.

If you feel unconfident or inexperienced driving in fog, call for help.

At the same time, focus on observing and turn on the warning signal to let other vehicles know to avoid unsafe situations. When you can't see, listen to the sounds of traffic on the road. Open the car window a little to be able to hear better what is happening outside the car.

Always keep your speed within the allowed limit, comply with traffic safety regulations and calmly handle unusual situations. Especially, do not overtake when driving in dense fog.

While driving, drivers should take advantage of the curb and road markings as well as traffic signs to help with orientation. If you feel unconfident or inexperienced when driving in fog, call for help. Never stop in the middle of the road. If you must stop, find an open area, avoid traffic routes and don't forget to turn on your hazard lights.

According to the Traffic Police Department, during this time in the North, there is fog and drizzle in the early morning and evening, so drivers need to strictly comply with the regulations of the Road Traffic Law, especially the regulations on speed, pay attention, keep a safe distance, and drive in the correct lane.
