Things You'll Need:
- Fog Light Kits
- Headlight Bulb
-
Step 1
Slow down. Most fog-related traffic fatalities occur because someone was driving too fast and couldn't stop in time to avoid a collision.
-
Step 2
Turn your lights on so others can see you. Don't turn on your high beams, which are directed higher and will just reflect light back at you.
-
Step 3
If you leave the road, be sure to pull off completely. Turn off your driving lights and turn on your flashers so others know you're there but won't think you are driving on the road.
-
Step 4
Think about what other drivers see when they're behind you. If you are constantly tapping your brakes, you'll likely make them nervous - and they'll be more likely to pass you.
-
Step 5
Use your wipers and defroster to keep the windows clear.
-
Step 6
Watch your speedometer. Fog scatters light and reduces the contrast between objects. Studies have found that the longer a driver is in fog, the faster he or she drives. Avoid falling into this dangerous trap.
-
Step 7
Turn off the radio and turn down the heater. Listen for other cars approaching before making a turn.
-
Step 8
Remember that other drivers have a limited sight distance and that fog makes the roads wet. Signal early, and when you use your brakes, don't stomp on them.

on 3/14/2006 If you want to install fog light on your vehicle, make your mechanic doesn't install them on the high beam switch of your car because the high beam will reflect on fog. I suggest installing it on low beam or alone with a toggle switch.

on 11/22/2005 Did you know there's a fog line on the road? It's the solid white line on the right edge of the road. This is what you guide on in the fog. Do not guide on the center line.
