sometimes they can be waiting for you as
you
come over a
hill
or dip into a shallow
valley. Start your windshield wipers and
washer, to help clear accumulated road
dirt. Slow down carefully.
Tips
on
Driving
in
Fog
If
you get caught
in
fog, turn your
headlights on low beam, even
in
daytime.
You’ll see
-
and be seen
-
better. Use
your fog lights
if
your vehicle has them.
Don’t use your high beams. The light will
bounce off the water droplets that make
up fog and reflect back at you.
Use your defogger. In high humidity, even
a light buildup of moisture on the inside
of the glass will cut down on your already
limited visibility. Run your windshield
wipers and washer occasionally. Moisture
can build up on the outside glass, and
what seems to be fog may actually be
moisture on the outside of your
windshield.
Treat dense fog as an emergency. Try to
find a place to pull off the road. Of course
you
want to respect another’s property,
but you might need to put something
between you and moving vehicles
-
space, trees, telephone poles, a private
driveway, anything that removes you
from other traffic.
[f
visibility is near zero and you must stop
but
are unsure whether you are away from
the road,
turn
your lights on, start your
hazard warning flashers, and sound your
horn at intervals or when you hear
approaching traffic.
Pass
other vehicles
in
fog only
if
you can
see far enough ahead to pass safely. Even
then,
be prepared to delay your pass
if
you suspect
the
fog is worse up ahead. If
other vehicles try to pass you, make
it
easy for them.
