Content Partner Weather Channel offers some great information about safe driving in Fog and Rain.

Fog can be thought of as a cloud at ground level. It forms when the temperature drops to the dew point (the temperature at which air is saturated), and invisible water vapor in the air condenses to form suspended water droplets. Fog can reduce visibility to 1/4 mile or less, creating hazardous driving conditions.
Safe Fog driving

The most important items to remember are be careful, drive slowly and offer greater stopping distance.

No cell phone texting, of waiting 9 minutes for traffic information.
