Driving in the Fog

Debbie Roney Smith on

Recently, the Panhandle has seen some thick fog. Here are some tips for driving safely in thick fog.

  1. LEAVE EARLIER: Allow extra time to reach your destination so you are not rushed and driving aggressively. 
  2. LIGHTS: Make your vehicle visible to others both ahead of you and behind you by using your low-beam headlights since this means your taillights will also be on. Use fog lights if you have them. Don’t use high beams.
  3. SLOW DOWN: Don’t speed; arrive alive.
  4. DISTANCE: Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you to account for sudden stops or changes in the traffic pattern.
  5. LINES: Stay in the proper lane.
  6. FOCUS: Put down the phone.

Stay safe out there everyone!
