Your
Driving
and
the
Road
Besides
slowing down, allow
some
extra
following distance. And
be
especially
careful
when you
pass
another
vehicle.
Allow
yourself
more
clear room ahead, and
be
prepared
to
have
your
view
restricted by road
spray. If the
road
spray
is
so
heavy
you are actually
blinded, drop back.
Don’t
pass
until
conditions
improve.
Going
more
slowly
is
better
than
having
an
accident.
Use
your defogger
if
it
helps.
Have
good
tires
with
proper
tread
depth. (See “Tires”
in
the Index.)
Driving in
Fog,
Mist
and
Haze
Fog
can
occur
with
high
humidity or
heavy
frost. It
can
be
so
mild
that
you
can
see through
it
for
several
hundred
feet
(meters). Or
it
might be
so
thick
that
you
can see only a few
feet (meters) ahead.
It
may come
suddenly
to
an
otherwise
clear
road.
And
it
can be
a
major
hazard.
When
you drive into
a
fog patch, your
visibility
will be
reduced
quickly.
The
biggest
dangers
are
striking
the
vehicle
ahead
or
being
struck
by
the
one
behind.
Try to “read” the
fog
density
down
the
road. If the
vehicle
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
hasa 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.
