your vehicle has
them.

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 wiper 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.
