Now the haze is really more and more serious, has seriously affected our lives, there are a lot of bacteria and viruses in the air, for a long time in the haze weather, it is very easy to cause respiratory diseases. The visibility is low in haze weather, which is easy to cause accidents. What should we pay attention to when driving in haze? What do you know about the six precautions for driving in haze weather?
Do not open the window air conditioner to set the recirculation mode.
In this haze, if you choose to drive, you should try not to open the windows for ventilation, because this is basically equivalent to direct exposure to the outdoor environment, especially on the street with more inhalable particles. Many people will say that if you don't open the window, you will feel stuffy when you are isolated in the car for a long time. In fact, in addition to the way that you open the window to directly contact with the outside air, we suggest that you set the air conditioner to the internal circulation mode, which can effectively let the air in the car circulate, and reduce the entry of inhalable particles.
Turn on the fog lights and double flash if necessary.
Now there is a big problem. Many drivers don't understand the exact function of fog lights. They think that as long as they can't see the road ahead clearly, they can turn on the high beam lights. In fact, driving in haze can't use high beam light, because the high beam light shines upward, and the light emitted is diffuse reflected by the fog, forming a white area in front of the car, which affects driving instead. The front fog lamp really works under the special weather conditions of rain, snow and fog. If it is necessary to temporarily stop at the roadside or the visibility is poor, it is also necessary to turn on the double flashing lights to bring warning to other vehicles and ensure the safety of themselves and others.
Keep the distance at a low speed.
In haze weather, traffic accidents are easy to happen because of unclear sight and too fast speed, so it is necessary to strictly abide by the traffic rules and speed limits. 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 less than 50m, the speed shall not exceed 20km / h. At this time, don't rush to drive fast or rush, try to keep enough safe distance from the car in front, so as to avoid too tight the brake of the car in front you have no time to react, causing rear end collision.
Handle accidents decisively and set up warning signs.
In case of traffic accident in foggy days, if you can evacuate the scene at the first time, you must evacuate the scene in time. Because of the poor visibility in fog, the rear vehicles are easy to cause secondary injury to the accident vehicles and personnel. If it is impossible to evacuate from the site, double flashing shall be started and warning signs shall be placed to remind the vehicles behind. Due to the poor visibility in haze weather, it is necessary to mark the warning further to ensure that the vehicles behind can avoid it earlier.
Set up GPS navigation for unfamiliar places.
If you are not familiar with the place you drive to, you can drive slowly according to the route prompts set by GPS, because it is likely that some of the 'landmark buildings' you are familiar with have disappeared in the haze, in this case, it is easy to find no destination. Avoid temporary merging or getting off the main road at some intersections. Do not suddenly slow down or turn the steering wheel in haze weather, so as to provide sufficient reaction time for the vehicles behind and prevent rear end collision and scratch accidents.
Avoid road rage.
Visibility is poor, traffic is definitely more congested than before, and people in cars will feel worse. In such a case, you must adjust your mind and do not be impatient. Honking and garseizing can only make other people feel worse, and increase the risk factor of driving. If you find that the vehicle ahead is parked on the right side, do not overtake blindly, because it is likely that it is waiting for the opposite vehicle to pass; if you are driving in the suburb without street lights, pay special attention to pedestrians and cyclists.
