Slow down gradually and drive at a
speed that suits the conditions.
Make sure the full lighting system
of your vehicle is turned on.
Use your low-beam headlights. High
beams reflect off the moisture droplets in the fog, making it harder to
see.
If you have fog lights on your
vehicle, use them, in addition to your low beams.
Be patient. Avoid passing,
changing lanes and crossing traffic.
Use pavement markings to help
guide you. Use the right edge of the road as a guide, rather than the
centre line.
Increase your following distance.
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 cell phone. Your full attention is
required.
Keep looking as far ahead as
possible.
Keep your windows and mirrors
clean. Use your defroster and wipers to maximize your vision.
If the fog is too dense to
continue, pull completely off the road and try to position your vehicle in
a safe parking area. Turn on your emergency flashers, in addition to
keeping your low-beam headlights on.
DON’T:
Don’t stop on the traveled
portion of the road. You could become the first link in a chain-reaction
collision.
Don’t speed up suddenly, even if
the fog seems to be clearing. You could find yourself suddenly back in
fog.
Don’t speed up to pass a vehicle
moving slowly or to get away from a vehicle that is following too closely.
