How can you drive safely in bad weather? In addition to driving as little as possible, you must know some of the following driving skills in smog days!

Driving skills: how to drive safely in smog

1. Under the condition of haze, the air is seriously polluted, so it is not suitable to travel by bike or electric vehicle. You should also open the window as little as possible. At this time, you don't want to open the window to breathe. The air outside is dirtier than inside!

2. We should know the sign of a car button - elliptical return arrow, which is the internal circulation start key of the car air conditioner. The car itself has the function of air filtration and is adjusted through the internal and external circulation of the car air conditioner. When the internal circulation is not started, the air outside the car will directly enter the car to keep the air inside the car constantly exchanging with the air outside the car, which will bring in the dirty air. When the internal circulation button is turned on, the air in the vehicle will not convection with the outside of the vehicle.

The internal circulation should be turned on when driving in haze weather, but the long internal circulation time will lead to the increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the vehicle. It is not appropriate to cycle for a long time, so many vehicles are equipped with automatic internal circulation, that is, the internal circulation and external circulation will be turned on alternately. However, in such weather as fog and haze, even more carbon dioxide is stronger than breathing poison gas from the outside. Of course, if there are many people in the car, you can appropriately open the sunroof or window. As long as the vehicle is moving, the air in the car will be 'pumped out' according to the principle of hydrodynamics, so there will not be too much carbon dioxide concentration.

3. In case of frequent haze weather, the owner shall replace the air filter element and air conditioning filter element in advance and clean the body paint more. In autumn and winter with more haze weather, it is generally changed once before and after autumn and again before and after winter. If haze weather is frequent, it can be considered to be replaced in 1-2 months.

4. The paint surface is the most vulnerable part of the car body. The particulate matter floating in the haze air will wear the car paint and affect the gloss of the paint. The chemical substances in the haze will adhere to the body paint with the condensation of water vapor. If they are not treated in time, the paint will oxidize and lose luster and flower. If the paint surface is damaged and acidic substances penetrate into the inner layer of the car paint, it will also affect the car body, and the aging will be accelerated over a long time. Therefore, after the haze weather, the vehicle body needs to be cleaned in time.

5. In order to prevent misting on the inner side of the windshield and window glass caused by blindly using the hot air conditioner, turn on the cold and warm air conditioner at the same time, start the A / C device and set the temperature at 24-25 degrees. In this way, a better effect can be achieved.

6. The greater the fog, the shorter the visual distance, and the vehicle speed must be reduced. When the visibility is less than 200m and more than 100m, the speed shall not exceed 60km / h. When the visibility is less than 100m and more than 50m, the speed shall not exceed 40km / h. When the visibility is within 30m, the speed shall be controlled below 20km / h.

7. When driving in haze, you must use anti fog lights and abide by the lighting regulations: turn on the front and rear anti fog lights, tail lights, side marker lights and low beam lights, use the lights to improve visibility, see the vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions in front, and make it easy for others to see yourself.

8. Do not turn on the high beam. Because the high beam is too high, the light emitted will be reflected by the fog, forming a vast expanse of white in front of the car, and the driver can't see anything.

9. Don't step on or quickly release the accelerator, and don't make emergency braking and turn the steering wheel. If you think it is necessary to reduce the speed, first slowly loosen the accelerator, and then gently step on the brake several times in succession to control the speed and prevent rear end collision accidents.

10. If the vehicle in front is found parked on the right, do not overtake blindly, because it is likely to let the opposite vehicle pass.

11. When overtaking a vehicle parked on the side of the road, after confirming that it has no intention to start and there is no incoming vehicle from the opposite side, sound the horn in time and bypass at low speed from the left side.

12. Do not drive on the line in foggy days, otherwise there will be a risk of collision with opposite vehicles.

13. If it is one-way three lanes, try to choose the middle of the road. Because the visibility is low at this time, it is difficult to deal with any situation on both sides of the road.

14. I don't know if you have noticed. As soon as there is fog production outside, fog will be generated in the car. Therefore, when it is formed, it's best to turn on the rear window defogging and rear-view mirror defogging functions, turn the air outlet towards the forward windshield, and use all means to reduce the generation of fog in the car.

15. When you encounter foggy weather and poor visibility, the safest way is to stop and rest until the weather improves. This is God's rest time. Don't waste it.

16. When driving in fog, the fog hanging on the front windshield glass will affect the driver's line of sight. Be sure to clean it in time with a wiper.

17. The visibility is low in foggy days. If the driver uses the horn well, he can better remind other vehicles and pedestrians. When other vehicles honk, you should respond immediately to attract the attention of other vehicles and determine the location of your vehicle. Of course, if you are driving in the city, you should honk less.

18. When meeting in fog, you should whistle and turn off the anti fog light to prevent the driver opposite from dazzling. Once the opposite vehicle is fast, you'd better slow down and give way, or pull over. If there are obstacles on both sides of the road when you meet, you should make a prediction and control the speed and distance.
