What should you do when driving in the fog?

What should you do when driving in the fog?

Always headlights, never brights. Avoid using high-beam headlights in fog as fog consists of tiny water droplets that spread and reflect light. While your high beams are not useful in the fog, remember to turn on your low-beam headlights to help other drivers see you.

How can I see through fog while driving?

Use your low beams. The visibility in front of you will sharply decrease in a fog, so use the vehicle's low beam lights (if the vehicle does not have fog lights or driving lights). Heavy fog conditions prohibit use of high beam headlights. The light from high beam headlights will be reflected back by thick fog.

Is it dangerous to drive in fog?

Driving in fog is considered to be the most dangerous weather hazard, especially if it is exceptionally dense fog or combined with other adverse weather conditions. Foggy conditions are the number one cause of large multi-car pile ups. However, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk of a crash.

What speed should you drive in fog?

Slow down Driving along a road at 120km/h in fog is dangerous and irresponsible. Reduce your speed to no more than 50km/h and stay in the inside lane. If the fog is very thick, slow down to 40km/h. Be on guard at all times.
