come over a

windshield wipers and

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.
Use
your
fog lights
if
your vehicle has them.
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.
[f
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.
