How to drive a car in the fog

In the fall and spring fog often causes accidents on the road. Its main feature is that it reduces the zone of visibility, so the driver is difficult to navigate on the road and generally control the car. To avoid difficult situations, consider the following guidelines:

1. 1. In fog, the distance between objects seems much larger than it actually is. The worse the visibility, the greater must be the distance between adjacent cars. For example, if the car in front of you practically does not get into your zone of visibility and it is difficult for you to determine its dimensions, in fact it may not move, but stand. Accordingly, in no case do not drive at high speeds.
2. 2. If the fog is very strong, then for the safety of your own car and the nearest car, warn with a beep when you need to change the traffic lane.
3. 3. In this case, it is best to use near headlights. If the fog is properly configured, they will help you overcome the foggy stretch of road.
4. 4. It is dangerous to drive very close to the curb, because there may be other cars or even people. If there is a line on the road that bounds the edge of the carriageway, then you can navigate along it.
5. 5. Pay attention to the color reproduction during fog. For example, at the traffic lights, yellow gives red, and green-yellow. Only red remains unchanged. Also behind the fog can hide various surprises: pits, pillars, other structures.
6. 6. To better navigate and respond to beeps in time, open the window a little.

These simple guidelines will help you move around in a high nebula and avoid a possible emergency.

Properly choose xenon and LED lamps for cars

Lighting-one of the conditions for safe trips during fog. The most common are xenon and LED lamps:

Xenon provides a bright and powerful stream of light. Able to "break through" any fog: you get the right view of the road. The term of work makes from 2 to 2,5 thousand hours. Not damaged due to strong body shaking.

LEDs -are distinguished by their efficiency, consumes only 20-30 watts of energy. Therefore, fuel consumption is also saved. No less powerful light output than xenon, while not blinding oncoming cars.

Please note that autolamps with a luminescence temperature of 4300 K provide good illumination in heavy fog conditions. Avtosvet buy in Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov with delivery in Ukraine can be 130.com.ua.
