Use the road lines: If You’re confused about where to go, we recommend you use the white/Yellow line on the road to guide you. They are visible in the fog as they have reflectors. Avoid passing, changing lanes, and crossing traffic.
Keep your GPS on for live Traffic Updates. Always take the most familiar route to your destination.
Try to Ride on the Left: Left lane is supposed to be the slowest on the road, we recommend you ride on the left-hand side of the Lane, and avoid fast-moving or overtaking vehicles. It’s better to ride on the slower side.
Keep your Hazard Lights On if there is too much fog.
Wear Clothes with Reflectors or a Reflector Vest to keep yourself visible.
Make sure you have a full tank of gas before departing.
A clear Visor is an ultimate necessity during fog. Use a defogging agent on your visor, goggles, and eyewear. Wipe and ensure your mirrors are clean when riding your motorcycle in fog.
Watch your speed. You may be going faster than you think. If so, reduce speed gradually. Remember, you want time to react. Remain calm, patient, and relaxed. Sudden movements and panic will cost you.
If the fog is too dense to ride, there is no shame in pulling off completely from the road. Try to park your vehicle in a safe parking area. Turn on your hazard lights if you have them. Wait till the roads are travelable.
