How should you approach driving in fog?

When driving in fog, the most effective approach is to use low beam headlights and reduce your speed. Low beam headlights are specifically designed to provide adequate visibility without causing excessive glare that can reflect off the fog, making it difficult for you and other drivers to see. High beam headlights can create a blinding effect in foggy conditions, as the light bounces back toward the driver, reducing visibility rather than improving it.

Additionally, reducing speed is critical in fog because visibility can be severely limited. Slowing down gives you more time to react to any obstacles or changes in the road conditions that may not be immediately visible. This combination of using low beams and driving at a safer speed significantly enhances safety in foggy conditions.
