With clouds of fog forming over Gloucestershire this morning, drivers have had to take extra precautions before heading out.
No crashes have been reported to Gloucestershire Police this morning due to the decreased visibility, which should clear by this afternoon.
However if you are still planning a Sunday afternoon road trip, here are some extra precautions to take.
Before entering the fog
Check your mirrors and slow down.
Be prepared for fog up ahead, even if it seems to be clearing.
When driving in the fog
Use lights as required.
Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
Be prepared to break well within the distance you can see in front of you.
Be aware of other drivers not using headlights.
Don’t accelerate away if a vehicle is too close behind you.
At a junction, listen for approaching vehicles and do not hesitate in a position that’s in the direct path of approaching vehicles.
