🌫️ Driving Safely in Foggy Conditions 🌫️

With foggy weather affecting visibility across our roads, please take extra care when travelling.

✅ Slow down and allow extra distance between you and the vehicle in front.
✅ Use dipped headlights so you can be seen by other road users.
✅ If visibility drops below 100 metres (328 feet), use your front and rear fog lights.
✅ Keep windows and mirrors clear of condensation before setting off.
✅ Avoid sudden braking or sharp manoeuvres, as road surfaces may be damp and slippery.

💡 Interesting Fact: Many drivers mistakenly use full beam headlights in fog. In reality, full beam can reflect off tiny water droplets in the fog and create a "white wall" effect, reducing visibility even further. Dipped headlights, and fog lights when needed, are often much more effective.

Remember to switch off your fog lights when visibility improves. Leaving them on unnecessarily can dazzle other drivers and is an offence if used when visibility is not seriously reduced.

Please plan ahead, allow extra time for your journey, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.
