Follow these tips and tricks to stay safe while driving on UAE roads during fog
Visibility down = Slow down = Attention up = Distance up
> Increase the distance to the vehicle in front to five seconds - you must be able to stop within the distance of visibility!
> Turn on the lights: Low beam head lights, front and rear fog lights (no hazard lights!)
> Consider longer breaking distances due to wet or slippery roads
> Use your windscreen wipers (and maintain them properly!)
> Concentrate and do not get dis-tracted by your passengers, your phone or other things
> Listen to the radio for traffic updates
> Care for others, especially for weaker traffic participants like motorcycle drivers, bicycle riders and pedestrians
> Ask your passengers to help keep an eye out for oncoming cars and obstacles on the road
> Stay in your lane and don't drift - there's a natural tendency to wander into the middle of the road when visibility gets bad.
> Use right edge of the road as a guide - this can help you avoid running into oncoming traffic or being blinded by oncoming headlights.
> If you have no visibility, pull over to the side of the road, stop and turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers of where you are, or pull into petrol stations or rest areas.
> Plan your trip properly and leave earlier or try not to be on the road at all, if possible.
