Dense fog in Delhi NCR and Noida.
It is dangerous to drive a car in low visibility.
It is important to know some tips for safe driving.
New Delhi. Dense fog has once again engulfed the entire North India including Delhi-NCR and Noida. In this season, people are facing the most difficulty in driving cars. Visibility has reduced so much that nothing can be seen clearly beyond 3-4 metres. The fog is so dense that even traffic signals, symbols and cuts are not visible properly on the road. Let us tell you that in such a situation the possibility of an accident on the roads increases greatly. Therefore, you should know some tips for driving a car in such a situation so that you can drive safely.
Keep headlights and blinkers on
While driving in fog, the most important thing is to keep the hazard lights or blinkers on along with the headlights. This will make other vehicles aware of your presence. Red light can be seen from some distance even in dense fog. This will increase the visibility of your vehicle and reduce the risk of accident. Apart from this, keep the headlights on low beam so that the vehicles coming from the front do not suffer. If there are fog lamps in your car then keep them on too.
drive in your lane
Do not make the mistake of changing lanes frequently while driving in dense fog. By doing this your car may collide with other vehicles. If you are driving on a single lane road then try to walk on the left side of the road. With this you will avoid colliding with vehicles coming from the front.
Keep the speed of the vehicle low in fog.
Do not drive at high speed
If you cannot see anything in the fog then avoid driving at high speed. By reducing the speed, you will be able to control your car better and will also be able to avoid collision on the road.
Keep windshield and windows clean
Keep your car’s windshield, windows and rear view mirror clean. This will make it easier to drive. With this you will be able to easily see the surrounding environment. In winter, moisture accumulates on the windshield of the car due to which one cannot see clearly in front. If this happens, use the car’s defroster or keep the windows slightly open.
Take better care of brakes and tires
In order for your car to stop at the right time when you apply the brakes, it is very important for the brakes and tires to be in good condition. If the brake is loose then the car will not stop in time when applied. At the same time, if the tires are worn then the wheels may slip when braking at high speed.
avoid overtaking
Do not rush while driving in mist or fog. Many people try to overtake the car by driving at high speed, which can be dangerous. This increases the risk of collision with nearby vehicles.
