3. Driving in the fog 1. Drive slowly and use your fog lights or dipped headlights as necessary. Remember to switch them off when fog clears! 2. Don't drive to closely to the vehicle in front of you - you may be too close. 3. Don't speed up if it seems to be clearing; fog drifts rapidly and is often patchy.

5. Driving in rain In wet weather, stopping distances will be at least double those required for stopping on dry roads because your tyres have less grip on the road, always remember to keep well back from the car in front. Here are some top tips to help you drive more safely in wet weather: 1. You should keep well back from the vehicle in front. This will increase your ability to see and plan ahead. 2. If steering becomes unresponsive, it probably means the water is preventing the tyres from gripping the road. Ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually. 3. The rain and spray from vehicles may make it difficult to see and be seen.
