Driving safely in the fog

Fog is a difficult weather condition to drive in, and should not be taken lightly. It is a visible mass consisting of cloud water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface which affects human visibility.

To drive safely in the fog, follow the below tips:
  1. Check the density of the fog before taking the car (fog appears mostly in the early morning or towards the evening). It is better not to drive in the fog if it is very dense.
  2. Allow more distance between vehicles on the road.
  3. Turn the headlights on. 
  4. Turn the Fog lights on if available.
  5. Use the hazard warning button to be more visible to others.
  6. Don't drift. Make sure you follow the right edge of the road so you don't accidentally drift toward the middle of the road.
  7. Pull over to the side of the road if you have no visibility. 
  8. You can ask passengers with you in the car to keep an eye on the road to make sure there are no obstacles on the road.
