ahead starts to become less clear or, at night, if the
taillights are harder to see, the fog is probably thickening.
Slow down to give traffic behind you a chance to slow
down. Everybody then has a better chance to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead.
A patch of dense fog may extend only for a few feet
(meters) or for miles (kilometers); you can’t really tell
while you’re in it. You can only treat the situation with
extreme care.
One‘common fog condition-sometimes called mist or
ground fog-can happen in weather that seems perfect,
especially at night or
in the early morning in valley and
low, marshy areas. You can be suddenly enveloped in
thick, wet haze that may even coat your windshield. You
can often spot these fog patches or mist layers with your
headlights. But 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.
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.
If 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.
