Winters are finally here and it has already made us think twice before getting out of the bed from the cozy quilt and go to work. With work we remember driving a car. There are some days in winters where most part of the country are fogged up and makes driving difficult. Here we bring you some tips on how to drive better on a foggy winter morning.

Mist is a common problem on a winter morning, to tackle this most of us runs dry wipers to clean it. Don’t do this; instead run the wipers with fluid for better car hygiene and cleanliness.

As there is difference between the temperature outside and in your car, your windows will easily fog up and minimize visibility. Hence to clear the fog, use the front and rear defogger and switch the AC.

While sitting make sure you adjust your seat to the highest level for a clear view and keep your eyes fixed on the road.

You are advised not to drive in HIGH BEAM as it will reduce the visibility in fog and may even give you illusion of white wall. However your headlight and fog lamp will come in handy.

You will drive better if you follow the white lines on the road and by keeping the Google map in your hand for a better road idea. Bigger vehicles emit more heat and therefore tend to disperse more amount of fog around, so it is a good idea to drive behind a truck or a bus in foggy conditions, but don't forget to maintain appropriate distance.
