Smart Driving Tips for Smog Season

(Guidelines Verified from NDMA Smog Safety Manual + Traffic Police Lahore)

Action	Why It Helps
Check AQI before leaving (IQAir / NDMA)	Adjust travel time & route
Avoid peak smog hours	Visibility is worst before sunrise
Use low-beam headlights	Prevents blinding reflections
Keep car ventilation on Recirculation	Prevents polluted air entering cabin
Wear N95 / KN95 mask	Filters PM2.5
Keep fog lamps on in severe smog	Enhances road clarity
Maintain extra braking distance	Slower reaction time in haze
Keep windscreen & lights clean	Improves visibility

How to Protect Your Vehicle During Smog Season

1. Replace Air Filter Frequently

Recommended intervals:

Cars: 2,000–3,000 km
Bikes: 1,000 km
Rikshaws: 800–1,000 km

2. Install a Cabin Air Purifier

Hybrid cars already include ionizers.

3. Get the Engine Bay Cleaned

Looking Ahead-What Needs to Change

Pakistan must adopt long-term solutions:
