It looks as though the foggy and wet weather is set to be in for the rest of the week. The wet weather will be coming in from the south-west and south of England. This does mean the risk of having a driving accident increases, due to the reduced visibility. Complete Claim Solutions have some helpful advice to make sure you are safer when driving in these conditions:
- Dipped headlights should be used when visibility is reduced to 100 meters (around 328 feet).
- Fog lights are not a must, but if you have an accident in the fog and they were not on, it may be questioned. If the fog is dense, use your fog lights and stay slower, but try not to dazzle other drivers.
- Windscreen wipers and demisters are helpful in increasing visibility, to use them often.
- We often get accidents where drivers were within the stopping distance, in these conditions, stay much further back from the car in front. Judge how long it will take you to stop by judging the distance you can see clearly.
- Check your mirrors more often and do not accelerate from other cars behind you.
We hope this information is enough to stop you from having an accident, but you cannot control the action of other drivers, so it is helpful to have a number at hand in that situation.
