We remind all of our fans to drive safely, especially with the current dense fog advisory; here are some helpful driving tips:
*Drive with lights on low beam. High beams will only be reflected back off the fog and actually impair visibility even more.
*Reduce your speed -- and watch your speedometer. Fog creates a
visual illusion of slow motion when you may actually be speeding.
*Listen for traffic you cannot see. Open your window a little, to hear better.
*Use wipers and defrosters as necessary for maximum visibility.
*Use the right edge of the road or painted road markings as a guide.
*Be patient. Do not pass lines of traffic.
*Do not stop on a freeway or heavily traveled road. If your
car stalls or becomes disabled, turn your vehicle's lights off, and take
your foot off of the brake pedal. People tend to follow tail lights
when driving in fog. Move away from the vehicle to avoid injury.
