Make sure you know what to do
During fog
- Avoid travel if possible.
- Drive very slowly with dipped headlights, full-beam
lights reflect off the fog causing a 'white wall' effect.
- Keep an eye on your speed, fog can give the illusion
of moving in slow motion.
- Use fog lights, but remember to turn them off when the
visibility improves.
- Don't hang on the tail lights of the car in front, rear
lights can give a false sense of security.
- Watch out for freezing fog which is made of water droplets
that freeze on contact with objects such as the pavement,
road, car, etc. It can quickly form a layer of ice. Advice
for when conditions are icy.
