Keep your vehicle speed low in fog. Due to fog, visibility on the road reduces significantly, so avoid driving at high speed. Maintain proper distance from the vehicle moving ahead… For safety, this distance should be about 100 meters. If you have to apply brakes suddenly while driving at a speed of 100mph, you will have time and control over the vehicle.
2. Do not change lanes without reason
Stay in your lane when driving in fog. Changing lanes continuously can also prove to be dangerous, because sometimes the vehicle moving ahead is not visible in the fog. Change lanes only when necessary and when you have the right of way.
3. Use yellow light
Yellow light can help you to avoid fog, because white light is not very effective in fog, if you want, you can also use a yellow transparent sheet and tape it on it.
4. Keep the car on low beam
Often people drive on high beam which is wrong, and should not be done at all in fog. While driving, avoid keeping the headlights of your car or bike on high beam, by doing this you will not be able to see anything. So keep the headlights on low beam. If possible, use fog lamps.
5. Maintain proper distance
It is very important to maintain proper distance while driving in fog, this will reduce the risk of an accident. If you apply brakes suddenly your car will not hit anyone. Do not stop the vehicle in the middle of the road during fog, stop the vehicle only if necessary and park the vehicle on the roadside. Use parking and hazard lights after stopping the vehicle.
