How to ride in the fog?

Has come the summer, motorists are trying to escape early from work before the weekend, that they might escape from the city to the country. But sometimes, waiting in traffic, the last few tens of kilometers to the place of rest has to go to early morning fog. To this is added driver fatigue, and together these factors translate into a dangerous ride. Specificity drive in the fog is not to speed, and accuracy. Sometimes the fog to a degree envelops the road that can not see even the hood, and this is the first reason for the stop to wait it out. Lose a few hours on the road will be better than pulling a car out of the ditch. You should not go after the other car, because at the least distance, or turn it out of sight, especially given the fact that the driver of the lead car sees no more than your front. If the road illuminated by street lamps, they can only worsen your situation, since the light from them takes the form of a huge white spot impermeable. Salvation from the fog in its natural properties - he never envelops the earth itself. Therefore, the fog lights are usually fixed to the car as low as possible, because they can illuminate a small area in front of the machine and somehow ride at speeds of 5-20 km / h depending on the density of precipitation. In no case can direct the light up - this rays are scattered, and even more dazzle the driver. The light should be directed to the road itself, particularly in the right side in time to observe and prevent falling off the track on the sidelines. Pritivotumannaya spotlight is not very good as an additional lighting, if used inappropriately (when there is no fog), but the light from it can be changed by adjusting the angle of inclination. Driving a car during a fog, not to look directly in front of the machine, it threatens to eyestrain and subsequent loss of orientation in space. During the movement is better to stay on the right side of the road. The windshield must remain clean, so it is necessary to include janitors, if the fog droplets are deposited on it. Glass does not guarantee good visibility, as also scatters light, so the driver and passengers must be desirable to stick his head into the side window to realistically assess the situation on the road. If a different side of the road, we must go to him, and if the terrain permits, a focus on poles, trees, shrubs and ground along the path. In critical cases where even if you look out of the car on the street, around do not see anything, you need to open the door and driving car with one hand, to move on foot along the edge of the road. In no case can not protrude into the oncoming lane as oncoming car headlights may appear directly in front of your hood, and it will be impossible to avoid a collision, as it happens in seconds. In the fog should be afraid of any extraneous light sources - for example, white light in front of headlights may seem like a different car, but you might find that it is a lantern on the porch of a house or any other light source, which may not be on the road. If you see a red light, it can be and not the dimensions or stoplights vperediiduschey machines and traffic lights at the railroad crossing was not equipped with a barrier, or light that indicates the road works. But even if that other car in the fog would be difficult to determine, he goes or stands on the site, in the second case it is necessary to resort to emergency braking. A trip into the mist quickly tires the driver's eyes and affects the overall fatigue. If a well-lit path can still afford to go a little bit tired, in a fog this condition can be extremely dangerous, because in such circumstances must be very careful and watch every little thing. If the driver decided to take a break or stop to rest, the car needed to squeeze the most right, and parking lights left on. Without light to go in the fog is very dangerous, although it may seem that with the light is even worse. In any case, if your lights are not used as lighting, they will serve as a good guide for oncoming traffic. It must be remembered - in the fog vperediiduschego overtaking vehicle is prohibited, even if visibility allows you to cover part of a few tens of meters. And if the car fell into the fog in the daytime, the lights do not need to include that the driver is not blinded by the scattered rays. Position but must work in order to warn other road users of your location on the road.
