The clocks going back at the end of October signify dreary nights and plummeting temperatures for Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s drivers. Fog season beckons, too. So, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Book Theory Test Today blog on fog.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test Today<\/a><\/strong> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Winter weather is not on the side of the driver, whether that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s learner or seasoned. Whatever your driving status, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve compiled some top tips on how to drive in fog.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Just last week, Britain was blanketed by a thick covering of fog, making the morning commute, school run or driving lesson exceptionally difficult for the motorist. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably too much to ask to ditch the car for public transport or cancel that driving lesson so Book Theory Test Today thought we should offer some pointers, even if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test Today tips for driving in fog<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Tip 1 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Use your lights<\/span><\/p>\n

Please don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being patronising, but at 8-9am, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not thinking about putting your lights on because you expect it to be clear. Fog doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford you that luxury, unfortunately. Visibility is the key to safe driving in fog for the safety of other road users as well as your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

It only takes one motorist on a busy road to be driving along and before you know it there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a mass car pile-up. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a law that states \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcif visibility levels hit 100 metres or less [about the length of a football pitch] then you should have your lights on.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s recommended that you use dipped headlights, fog lights too when appropriate, but avoid using full-beam as this can be hazardous to other road users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 2 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Slow & steady<\/span><\/p>\n

Speed and lack of visibility are a lethal combination, but that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop late running parents or commuters behind schedule from putting their foot down. If you value your life, the life of any passengers and other road users, Book Theory Test Today<\/a><\/strong> urges common sense. If you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t speed unless you want to wind up dead or seriously injured.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 3 – Plan ahead<\/span><\/p>\n

Poor road conditions will lead to delays as motorists will be driving slowly, as you should be, and on busier roads, such as motorways, a number of traffic control measures will be in place, including reduced speed limits. So, plan ahead and allow more time for any journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Have demisters and wipers on<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping the windscreen and rear window clear enhances your visibility. Whichever works best for your vehicle, use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 5 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Open you windows<\/span><\/p>\n

You might get a bit cold, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s better to be a bit chilly and have a better view than it is to have reduced visibility and cause an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n
