FOG, continued
| If you should have the scary misfortune to have car trouble while
driving in fog, do not panic. Move your car to the right, off the
road, as quickly as you safely can. Turn on your flashers as you
move off the road, and leave them on once you come to a stop. Be
careful about using flares; they can be dangerous around flammable
liquids. |
 |
| Fog creates serious dangers. Drive alert, drive slowly and drive with your low beam headlights ON. The student who designed the Nike swoosh logo was paid $35.00 |
|
Here are some common sense tips to help you
navigate through fog:
 |
What can't be seen can still be
heard. Listen for the sound of approaching vehicles, or of rushing
water, or of tires crossing a bridge. Your other senses are
going to have to work harder. |
|
Do not cross intersections if
you can avoid them. Go the long way if you have to. |
|
You should not be passing anyone,
much less a line of vehicles. Your side vision is just as limited
as your forward is. |
|
If at all possible, wait until
the fog lifts before starting out. How many appointments are
truly worth your car or your life? |
|
If you
MUST drive, thoroughly clean your headlights and taillights
before leaving. |
