QuestionShould I use my high beams in fog?Community AnswerYou shouldn't. The light of your high beams will be refracted and reflected by the fog, making it even more difficult to see. Many headlight assemblies include lights called fog lights, which point down toward the road out in front of the vehicle, illuminating the road in foggy conditions. If your car doesn't have these, use your low beams.

QuestionHow can I improve at driving in a fog?Community AnswerIf your vehicle has fog lights, turn them on. If not, leave your lights on low beam as the high beam setting can throw the light right back at you. Drive five under the posted speed limit to give yourself more reaction time in case of an emergency. If you need to pull over, remember to put your vehicle in park and keep your foot off the brake as your brake light will confuse those behind you, and they'll attempt to follow, thinking you're still on the road.
