Pulling Over Safely: What to Do When the Fog Is Too Dense

Comments · 16 Views

Knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing how to drive. Learn the safe way to exit the roadway when visibility becomes zero.

Sometimes, the safest way of driving in fog is to stop driving altogether. If you feel overwhelmed or visibility drops to just a few meters, when driving in fog you should look for a safe place to pull over, such as a parking lot or a rest area. Avoid stopping on the shoulder of a highway, as other drivers may see your taillights and follow you, thinking you are still on the road, which leads to rear-end collisions.

If you must pull over on the shoulder, move as far away from the traffic lane as possible. Once stopped, turn off your lights but keep your hazard flashers on. This ensures that you aren't mistaken for a moving vehicle. KAIYI Vehicles feature high-visibility hazard lighting and emergency signal systems that are designed to cut through the haze. By choosing to wait out the worst of the weather, you are making the ultimate pro-safety move for yourself and your passengers.
