3. Use Low-Beam/Fog Lights

[{"selector":"#anim-215f79ed-efff-4b51-a70e-9715903386ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a3d089c0-c795-429a-9c73-2e67f028b10e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 165.70878%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] High beam light reflects off water droplets in the fog and makes it difficult to see ahead. It’s best to use low-beam headlights or fog lights in such conditions. Credits: Canva
