Fog is a cloud that formed at ground level due to the temperature dropping to the dew point. Fog can significantly reduce visibility and create hazardous driving conditions. Budget Brakes has a few tips for drivers who often drive in the early morning, when fog is heaviest.
• Turn on your lights, but do not use your high beams, which will be reflected off the fog and reduce your visibility.
• Reduce your speed and keep an eye on the speedometer. Fog creates an illusion of traveling slower than you actually are.
• Open your windows to hear traffic that you cannot see.
• Use the markings on the right edge of the road as a guideline, as the white line is easier to see in foggy conditions than the yellow line.
• Pay attention to brake lights of vehicles around you, which are easier to see during heavy fog.
Following Budge Brakes’ driving tips during heavy fog can keep you and your family safe.
