Driving in Foggy Condition

Follow the below steps while driving in foggy condition for your safety as well as others.

• Slow down gradually and drive at a speed that suits the conditions.

• If you have fog lights on your vehicle, use them, in addition to your low beam headlights. High beams reflect off the moisture droplets in the fog, making it harder to see. As well, Don’t use emergency lights.

 

• The moisture in the air may continuously collect on the windshield. Use your defroster and wipers to maximize your vision. Keep your windows and mirrors clean.

• Be patient. Avoid passing, overtaking, changing lanes and crossing traffic.

• Use painted road markings to help guide you. Stick to the lane you are driving in and don’t try to drift and wander in the middle of the road.

• Allow more distance between vehicles.. You will need extra distance to brake safely.

• Look and listen for any hazards that may be ahead.

• Reduce the distractions in your vehicle. For example, turn off your music/radio. Your full attention is required.

• If the fog is too dense to continue, pull completely off the road and try to park your vehicle in a safe parking area. Turn on your emergency flashers, in addition to keeping your low-beam headlights on.

They probably couldn't see your angry eyes, due to the fog.

They think they are being clever by putting on their hazzard light..

Not dissimilar to the idiots who drive during normal days with their front and rear fog lights on...

You are asking too much. I have seen hundreds of lawbreakers today on the roads. They either are complete idiots (how would they indicate a direction change?) or they are typically ignorant. I wish the police would fine them on the spot. But that's only a distant dream.
