Tulyaks explained how to behave behind the wheel in a thick fog

In autumn, high humidity and sharp temperature changes lead to the formation of thick fogs. In such conditions, it is more difficult for the driver to assess the situation. About the rules of safe driving "MK in Tula" recalled in the Ministry of transport and road management of the region.

First of all, you should abandon the high beam: in the fog, its beam is reflected from water droplets and creates a “white wall”. Instead, it is recommended to include passing beams and fog lamps.

It is necessary to reduce the speed and increase the distance. At the same time, the path to a full stop should be less than the distance at which the road is visible. If the view does not exceed 20 meters, you can not go faster than 15 km / h.

You also need to monitor the purity of the glasses: due to the humidity, they quickly fog, so turn on the blowing in time and check the serviceability of the brushes. If visibility has dropped sharply, you should gradually slow down, adjust to the right row, stop in a safe place and turn on the emergency.

Earlier, “MK in Tula” reported that on October 11 in the Tula Railway Station District there may be difficulties with travel due to road works from 10:00 to 22:00. Restrictions will affect two areas - on Likbeza Street from V. Krasnoslobodskaya to Chmutov and on V. Krasnoslobodskaya Street from Vozduhoflotskaya to Chmutov.
