• Distractions can be deadly in foggy conditions. To avoid temptation, silence your cell phone and stereo and focus solely on the road and your surroundings.  
• Visibility is drastically reduced in fog, making it hard to see the road and other vehicles. Lower your speed to give yourself more time to react to any obstacles or sudden changes in traffic.  
• Opening your window allows you to listen to other vehicles and emergency sirens. Sound travels further in fog, which can be a crucial method to detect hazards you might not see.  
• Roadside reflectors and markings can help you navigate twists and turns in dense fog. These visual aids are designed to guide drivers in low-visibility conditions.  
• Cruise control can reduce your ability to react quickly to sudden changes. Turn off cruise control when driving in fog to maintain complete control of your vehicle.  
• Fog often increases moisture on your windshield. Use wipers and defrosters to keep your view as clear as possible and reduce glare.  
• High beams can reflect off the fog, making visibility worse. Use low beams and fog lights to improve your ability to see and be seen by others.  
• Following the right edge of the road can help you stay in your lane and avoid drifting into other lanes. It is particularly useful in dense fog where lane markings may be hard to see.
