Lawton, OK – Driving in fog can be hazardous, and officials are reminding drivers to take extra precautions to ensure their safety. The department shared several tips for navigating through foggy conditions:
- Slow Down: Fog reduces visibility, so drivers are advised to lower their speed to allow more time to react to obstacles or sudden traffic changes.
- Use Low-Beam Headlights: High beams can reflect off the fog, worsening visibility. Drivers should use low beams to minimize glare.
- Increase Following Distance: Drivers are urged to maintain a greater distance from the vehicle ahead, as stopping distances are longer when visibility is reduced.
The department emphasized the importance of safety for all road users and encouraged drivers to follow them on social media for additional updates and information.
