Here are a few driving tips that everyone should follow to avoid accidents in this foggy weather:
- Ask yourself if your journey is really necessary before driving in thick fog. Avoid travelling in a car if you can.
- Make sure the headlights and the front windows of the car are clean before starting the journey.
- Reduce speed, leave enough space between vehicles and avoid overtaking.
- Do not change lanes unless necessary.
- Turn on headlights (but low beams only).
- Avoid turning on hazard lights, except in emergency cases. Using hazard lights all the time prevents a motorist from alerting other motorists to an emergency.
- Turn on the appropriate fog lights when driving.
- Make sure the window wipers work properly to constantly clean the window and have clear visibility.
- Be aware at all times for danger such as a vehicle suddenly braking in the front or another vehicle entering from a side entrance. This means not using mobile phones when driving, for example.
- Allow more time to complete a journey, especially during low visibility.
