    Precautionary/preparedness actions...
    * Slow down and allow for plenty of room between you and other
    vehicles.
    * Fog makes objects appear farther away than they are
    * Use low beams. High beams reflect back thick fog, making
    visibility worse for you and other drivers.
    * Be prepared. Keep your headlights clean. That way, you`re
    ready for low-visibility conditions
    * Don`t use cruise control. Most crashes occur because the
    driver is going too fast for weather conditions.
