Some time ago, after a traffic accident occurred on the Xuguang Expressway in Changsha, Hunan, I went to visit the scene. To be honest, I felt really sad.
I remember when I was on the road, I saw many drivers unable to use lights correctly, especially basically, very few can use fog lights correctly, so today Brother Meow wants to talk about this matter.
All cars have fog lights
Don't tell me that your car doesn't have fog lights. I saw in the comment area that some people still said that their cars don't have fog lights.
Let me tell you, your car does not have front fog lights, but it must have rear fog lights, because our country has clear laws and regulations that cars without rear fog lights cannot be driven on the road.
So stop looking for excuses. This reason is no excuse at all. All cars that can go on the road must have fog lights.
Too many fog lights are on
The second thing is that I still can't figure it out. I looked at the fog lights of different cars, and as far as I know so far, there are no less than ten ways to turn on the fog lights.
Different cars, different brands, different models, and even different models of the same brand, have different fog lamp opening methods.
Some have a one-button type like my car, and the two buttons are separate, front fog lights and rear fog lights.
Some are lever-type, some are buttons, half are lever-type and half are knob-type.
Especially like most people, after spinning, you have to pull it out, and you have exhausted all the tricks. I was confused, for such an important light, which needs to be used especially in rainy and foggy weather, you actually gave me so many tricks?
And if a driver wants to learn to turn on fog lights, he has to learn a lot. The most important thing is that when I saw the comment section, a friend said it directly, Brother Miao, when I first bought my car, I knew how to turn on the fog lights and read the manual to learn it.
But it doesn’t rain very much and there are very few foggy days in our area. I can’t use this thing twice a year. I later forget it and won’t use it anymore.
Fog light design is too weird
I understood. The key is that the design of the fog lights is too weird. I really can't figure it out. Can't the designers who make cars make some changes? If you can't make it simple, why make it so complicated?
For such an important light that involves life safety, you put it next to the double flash like a double flash.
One on each side, the front fog light next to the rear fog light, or the upper front fog light, and the rear lower fog light. Wouldn't this solve the problem?
When we are next to each other with Double Flash, I believe both Double Flash will hit. Why? Because of the double flash, it is placed in the middle of the center console of the car, the most conspicuous place.
Because it is very important, it is an emergency light. In fact, fog lights are also very important. Its role in rainy and foggy weather is sometimes no less than double flash. At this time, it would be convenient if you use it.
Another thing, I found that the fog lights need to be turned on to be small, so that they can be useful.
If your small light is not turned on and you turn on the fog light, it is useless, but the double flash can be used anytime and anywhere.
Fog lights can be matched with smart devices
You don’t need to turn on any lights, you can use double flash, so in terms of design, I think it is still unreasonable at present.
Because fog lights are really important, and as cars are getting smarter and smarter, many cars with cameras and radar sensors, including domestic cars with less than 10 W, are equipped with them.
Is it difficult to identify a rain fog? Is it difficult to identify visibility? It's not difficult at all.
At this time, can the fog lights be linked together, just like automatic headlights, so that they can be smarter than automatic headlights?
For example, if you encounter fog ahead, it can even be combined with navigation and road conditions to automatically turn it on for you, or prompt the driver to turn it on.
For example, if fog is detected in the front, there will be a light on the central control screen or the instrument panel. The light will flash to tell you that you need to turn on that light.
Even if you don’t use it once a year, or even once in three years, when you see this reminder, you should know it’s time to turn on the light, right?
Summarize
So in the final analysis, I think good design does not mean that people think that your thing is well hidden, that you need to learn this thing, or that your thing is designed to be really unique.
All safety-related places should not have any personality. What should be simple, fast, and able to be found in time can reduce the learning cost of using it.
I don’t want to learn it. You can use it as soon as you see it. This is a good thing, and the most important thing is that for many people who don’t know how to use it, you can even make it smart.
In this case, if fog lights can be used correctly, I believe it can reduce many traffic accidents on highways.
Therefore, in Brother Miao's view, the most important thing in the car now is the design of the fog lamps. It is not some messy intelligence. You fix the fog lamps first, and then fix the other things. Do you think what Brother Meow said makes sense?
