To avoid temptation, silence your cell phone and stereo and focus solely on the road and your surroundings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Visibility is drastically reduced in fog, making it hard to see the road and other vehicles.&nbsp;Lower your speed to give yourself&nbsp;more time to react to any obstacles or sudden changes in&nbsp;traffic.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Roadside reflectors and markings can help you navigate twists and turns in dense fog. These visual aids&nbsp;are designed&nbsp;to guide drivers in low-visibility conditions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Fog often increases moisture on your windshield. Use wipers and defrosters to keep your view as&nbsp;clear&nbsp;as possible and reduce glare.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>High beams can reflect off the fog, making visibility worse.&nbsp;Use low beams and fog lights to improve your ability to see and be seen by others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Following the right edge of the road can&nbsp;help you stay in your lane and avoid drifting into&nbsp;other lanes.
