Safe Driving in the Fog

safe-driving-in-fogPrint a Sign-In SheetSpanish Version 

As cooler weather begins, driving can become more hazardous due to foggy conditions. Keep the following in mind when driving in foggy weather to keep you and your family safe:

  • Drive with your lights on LOW beam. High beams will reflect off the fog, creating a “white wall” effect.
  • Reduce your speed and watch your speedometer. Fog creates a visual illusion of slow motion when you may actually be speeding.
  • Avoid crossing traffic lanes.
  • Travel with the driver’s window partially open and listen for traffic.
  • If your car is disabled or you can’t continue, pull well onto the shoulder and turn off lights. Move away from your vehicle.
  • Consider postponing your trip until the fog lifts.
