DRIVE SAFELY IN FOGGY WEATHER
A fog advisory is in effect in Chicagoland until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Driving in foggy conditions can be dangerous. The Illinois Secretary of State offers the following tips for operating a vehicle in the fog:
- Slow down.
- Do not use cruise control.
- If you see headlights or tail lights, slow down even more. A driver may be driving in the center of the roadway or may be stopped or barely moving.
- Dim your headlights or use fog lights.
- Do not "overdrive" your headlights.
- You may not see the vehicle in front of you and you may have to stop suddenly.
- If the fog is too dense to safely operate your motor vehicle, pull off the roadway and stop.
- Brake early when you approach a stop to warn other drivers that you are in front of them.
