[. . . ] Everybody then has a better chance to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead. A patch of dense fog may extend only for a few feet (meters) or for miles (kilometers); you can't really tell while you're in it. You can only treat the situation with extreme care. One common fog condition sometimes called mist or ground fog can happen in weather that seems perfect, especially at night or in the early morning in valley and low, marshy areas. You can be suddenly enveloped in thick, wet haze that may even coat your windshield. You can often spot these fog patches or mist layers with your headlights. But sometimes they can be waiting for you as you come over a hill or dip into a shallow valley. Start your windshield wipers and washer to help clear accumulated road dirt. Slow down carefully. Tips on Driving in Fog If you get caught in fog, turn your headlights on low beam, even in daytime. The light will bounce off the water droplets that make up fog and reflect back at you. In high humidity, even a light build-up of moisture on the inside of the glass will cut down on your already limited visibility. Moisture can build up on the outside glass, and what seems to be fog may actually be moisture on the outside of your windshield. City Driving Treat dense fog as an emergency. Of course you want to respect another's property, but you might need to put something between you and moving vehicles - space, trees, telephone poles, a private driveway, anything that removes you from other traffic. If visibility is near zero and you must stop but are unsure whether you are away from the road, turn your lights on, start your hazard flashers and sound your horn at intervals, or when you hear approaching traffic. Pass other vehicles in fog only if you can see far enough ahead to pass safely. Even then, be prepared to delay your pass if you suspect the fog is worse up ahead. One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You'll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Try not to drive around trying to pick out a familiar street or landmark. Get a city map and plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. 1 Your Driving and the Road Freeway Driving Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. (See the next section, "Freeway Driving. ', ) Treat a green light as a warnil signal. A traffic light is there oecause the corner is busy enough to need it.
