WELCOME
Monday was officially the first day of winter, fog is a major driving hazard in the Waikato. Fog can be one of the most dangerous weather conditions to drive in due to its ability to significantly reduce your visibility. Fog consists of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air just above the earth's surface.
It is heavily influenced by nearby bodies of water and landscape which is why the Waikato region is so affected by fog.
Tips to help with driving in the fog:
Dip your lights. If you drive with your headlights on full, the light will just reflect back to you. Use fog lights if you have them.
Slow down. With visibility reduced, you need to allow yourself enough time to react. Do not use cruise control as this also reduces your ability to react quickly.
Focus on the road. Turn down the radio and keep conversations to a minimum so you can keep your attention on driving.
Open your window. This will allow you hear other traffic on the road.
