- Keep an appropriate following distance between your car and the car in front of you. This will allow you to react to any sudden stopping, quick turns, or other unexpected incidents.
- Before you leave, make sure you check the weather forecast. Give yourself some extra time to get to your destination if fog is expected.
- Keep an eye on the lines on the right side of the road. This will help you anticipate where the road is heading.
- Look to see if your vehicle is equipped with fog lights or driving lights. These are designed to make it much easier to see when you are driving in the fog. If you don’t have fog lights, use your low beams.
