FORT MYERS — Visibility can change within seconds, so use caution when driving in low visibility. Wildfires, smoke, fog and heavy rain can all lower visibility on the roads. It is important for motorist to drive as safely as possible in these conditions.
• Drive with lights on low beam. High beams will only be reflected off the fog and impair visibility even more. Your lights help other drivers see your vehicle, so be sure they all work. Keep your windshield and headlights clean, to reduce the glare and increase visibility.
• Slow down and watch your speedometer before you enter a patch of fog.
• Watch out for slow-moving and parked vehicles. Open your window a little and listen for traffic you cannot see.
