• Fog is more characteristic and common in autumn
  and winter, especially in the valleys and river
  valleys. Fog is one of the natural factors that
  have a negative impact on traffic safety on the
  roads. Because of bad weather conditions lots of
  injuries happen on the road, which is why the
  personal injury lawyer Richmond Hill is here for
  you.
• According to the regulations it is considered
  that the fog is present when the driver cannot
  clearly see the other road users at a distance of
  at least 200 meters on an opened road.

• Regardless of the intensity and density, fog is
  always an obstacle to the visibility of the road
  narrows the field of view of the driver, reduces
  visual acuity and has a negative impact on the
  psycho-physical ability of the driver (causing
  fatigue, tension, nervousness, impatience,
  insecurity, fear, a feeling of anxiety,
  uneasiness etc.).
• Fog represents a separate obstacle and threat to
  traffic safety when accompanied by simultaneous
  occurrence of frost, black ice or wet roads along
  the way, when there are extremely unfavorable
  conditions for successful and safe operation of
  the vehicle on the road.

• Such conditions created by the fog on the roads,
  are responsible for the occurrence of many
  accidents with severe consequences. The
  successful and safe management of the vehicle on
  the road in conditions of fog depends on the
  intensity of the density of the fog, and the
  condition of the road (frost, ice, dry or wet
  pavement, etc.), The type of vehicle, from its
  technical features and equipment, especially the
  ability of the driver (physical, psychological,
  vocational, etc.), and rules for driving in these
  conditions.

• In case of a fog a driver of a motor vehicle
  shall be obliged to have dipped lit lights, road
  lights or fog lights, or both simultaneously.
• It should be borne in mind that separate fog
  lights for vehicles are not required, but can be
  built, from the front in white or yellow and red
  on the back.
• If built, these lights are is desirable to usein
  foggy conditions, but also in case of low
  visibility and fog when their use is permitted.

6

• The use of positional lights in foggy conditions,
  not only is wrong for safety reasons because they
  are weak and have no performance, but is also
  contrary to the legal provision because these
  lights are used for marking the vehicle in
  conditions when stopped or parked on some part of
  the road.
• The speed of the vehicle must be reduced or
  adjusted according to the length of the field,
  depending on the distance needed for keeping the
  required distance between vehicles when moving
  for safe stopping of the vehicle.

• Do not travel if you do not have a need. Fog is
  very bad for drivers especially if it is
  accompanied with frost. In that case you should
  cancel all your scheduled appointments and wait
  for the weather conditions to get better. Drive
  safely.
