AAA says fog is more common during the colder months and makes it difficult to see what’s in front of you.

Drivers are also advised to use low beams, slow down, and leave plenty of distance between themselves and the car in front of them.

They also suggest hugging the right side of the road to avoid drifting over the center line into coming traffic, according to its website.

“The white line along the edge of the road is there to, among other things, help you keep your bearings,” said AAA.

Drivers are asked to be cautious in patchy fog because they could enter thick fog and lose visibility.
