What should you do in lighter fog while driving?

In lighter fog, it is crucial to adjust your driving approach for safety. The correct response involves slowing down to maintain better control of the vehicle and using low beam headlights along with windshield wipers.

Low beam headlights are specifically designed for use in foggy conditions as they produce a flatter beam of light that minimizes the glare reflected back to the driver by the fog. Using high beams in fog can actually create a more dangerous situation by reflecting light off the moisture in the fog, impairing visibility. Additionally, turning on your wipers helps maintain a clear view of the road ahead by removing any moisture accumulated on the windshield, further improving visibility.

This combination of actions ensures that you are driving cautiously and can react properly to any changes in the road or surrounding conditions.
