When driving in foggy conditions and encountering an oncoming vehicle, you should slow down and proceed with caution. Here are some precautions for driving in fog: 1. Pay attention to the relationship between speed and visibility: In heavy fog with low visibility, reduce your speed and adjust it according to the fog density and visibility to ensure you have enough time to react in case of emergencies. 2. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead: Turn on your vehicle's headlights, taillights, and fog lights. In severe conditions, you may also use hazard lights. Avoid using high beams, as their elevated light beams can easily obscure fog lights and impair other drivers' vision. 3. Use your horn to indicate your position: Honking is particularly effective in foggy conditions, especially for American and European vehicles, as their horns have strong penetrating power in the air and can be heard over long distances.
