DRIVING IN FOG
There are always plenty of lines of procedure for the experienced motorist to follow when he suddenly encounters a fog. He will open the screen, tram a light low down on the left side to pick out the kerb, and travel cautiously. The novice, without previous fog experience, is likely to be “ panicked ” into helplessness or to travelling “ faster than he can see ” when he is passed by other traffic which seems to be experiencing little difficulty. The secret lies in a good fog light, mounted and focused properly, a clean (or preferably open) windscreen, a forward driving position which gives a good view of the kerb,, and a cool attitude coupled with patience and discrimination. It is always worth while continuing in a fog, even at a snail’s pace, for one never knows how far the belt extends; it may be quite clear a mile away.
