But on the other hand, every second you spend inside the fog puts you at risk. The safest thing you can do is clear the fog as quickly as possible.
2 7 ReplyThe safest thing you can do is pull well off the road, turn off your lights, and wait for the fog to pass.
Also get out your phone because you can sell the footage of the subsequent accident to news channels.
