HOW TO RIDE IN FOG

Orientation

At any time of the day, it is necessary to adhere to the correct position of the vehicle on the road. In heavy fog or at night, road markings or restrictive posts help with this. According to the rules, these columns should glow red, orienting the driver about the road border, but they are not present on all routes.


If they are covered with snow or are absent altogether, then you will have to navigate along the edge of the asphalt or track that remains from other cars.

Layout lines and a navigator is good landmarks in the fog. Reflective signs help a lot at night. To see them better, you can turn on the main beam for a short time. Remember that some intersections do not have a centerline.

At this point, you can easily lose your way. Therefore, it is best to slow down and wait until the centerline is visible again. If during this time the car has changed, then you should return to your markup.

An excellent assistant when driving in fog is a satellite navigator. The picture is clearly displayed on its screen, and you can understand in which direction you should continue to move. This thing will be especially useful at large junctions and intersections.

Visibility

Fog is a kind of sediment that reduces the visibility of the road through the windshield. Therefore, do not forget about the wipers. With a long ride, the windows begin to fog up and they need to be cleaned, both in the cabin and on the back.

It is worth noting that this effect occurs earlier in vehicles that do not have a cabin air filter. You can get rid of this phenomenon by turning on the stove or air conditioner. The main thing is to direct the airflow to the windshield, then it will not fog up.

In order to improve visibility in fog, from time to time you can flash a high beam or use an alarm. If it becomes necessary to stop, it is advisable to do it as far as possible from the roadside. It is best to move completely off the road.

While driving, you need to concentrate your attention not only on the oncoming traffic but also on your own, since another car can drive slowly in front.

Speed

In foggy weather, special attention should be paid to the speed limit. The speed of the vehicle must be such that when an obstacle occurs, the vehicle can stop without colliding with it. At the same time, it should be remembered that on our roads you can very often find old cars, in which the sidelights are practically invisible.

For this reason, the safest speed in foggy weather is considered to be 30-50 km / h. You should not rely on your skill and knowledge of the road, since in foggy weather it is impossible to see everything that is happening around you. Moving at such a high-speed mode, you can instantly stop at almost any visibility.

The speed of movement in such weather should be at least twice as low as usual. The visible 40 meters may not be enough to stop the car completely, especially in the winter season. On long journeys, you must constantly monitor the speed limit.
