Driving can be tough for women; car insurance however, is no longer a chore!
Recent studies have shown that many drivers are unaware of the correct driving procedures in different circumstances such as bad weather or on dangerous roads. Fog is one type of weather that takes many motorists by surprise and leads to many avoidable car accidents. These in turn lead to injuries, financial hardship because of damage to vehicles and of course car insurance premiums may rise because drivers may lose their no claims bonus. For women, car insurance is cheaper than it is for men, because male drivers cause more road accidents. To keep your no claims bonus and stay safe on the road, make sure you know how to drive in fog.
How to tackle fog
There are a few measures that you can take to effectively avoid car accidents when it is foggy. Primarily you should drive more slowly than normal so that you can stop in time to avoid hazards. Secondly you should make sure that you have the correct lights on so that other drivers can see you. If you are overtaken by lots of other vehicles, pay no attention. It is always best to stay on the side of caution when driving in difficult weather.
- Use dipped headlights and fog lights if your visibility is reduced. You must switch off your fog lights once the driving conditions are back to normal. Using fog lights in normal conditions is against the law as it dazzles other drivers. Good conditions are defined as visibility more than 100 metres
- If you can see less than 12 metres (40 feet) ahead then your speed needs to be reduced to less than 20 mph
- Beware of other drivers who are not taking the same precautions as you. Some drivers may choose to continue driving at normal speed and without their headlights
