DMNG IN
FOG,
MIST
AND
HAZE
Fog
can occur with high humidity or heavy frost. It can be
so
mild that
you
can
see
through it for several hundred
feet
(meters). Or it might be
so
thick that you can see only a few feet (meters) ahead. It may come
suddenly to an otherwise clear road. And it can
be
a major hazard.
When
you
drive into
a
fog patch, your visibility will be reduced quickly.
The biggest dangers are striking
the
vehicle ahead or being struck by the
one behind.
Try
to “read” the fog density down the road.
If
the
vehicle
ahead starts to become less clear or, at night,
if
the taillights are harder to
see, the fog
is
probably thickening. Slow down to give traffic behind you a
chance
to
slow
down. 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.
une 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.
