The problems you face..
See if you agree…
• The fog affects your view!
• You are not sure where you are headed,
unless you are familiar with the road.
• You sometimes miss the turn that you were suppose to
take.
• You cannot see cars ahead or behind unless they are a
car length away.
• You don’t really know what speed to maintain or distance
you have traveled.
• You are not sure if you are driving straight and
in one lane, plus you find it difficult to maneuver.
• There is no signal light , roundabout or junction
in sight.

Here are some safety tips
• The first and most important thing to do is to review
Halliburton’s and each country’s policy on driving in foggy
conditions.
• Consider postponing your trip until the fog clears.
• Drive slowly and turn on your headlights.
• Please don’t use your emergency flashers. This should only
be used if you stop at the shoulder or if you have problems
with your vehicle.
• Don’t stop in the middle of the road or leave your vehicle
unattended. Drive it to the shoulder and put your emergency
flashers on so that other drivers can see you.
• Don’t forget to fasten your seatbelt and be aware
of drivers who don’t use their headlights.

Here are more safety tips
• Make sure others can see you. Turn on your lights and
use low beams. High beams direct the light up into
the fog, making it difficult to see you.
• Remember that other drivers are not able to see with fog
around, so signal early to let them know your intended
action.
• Use your defroster and windshield wipers for maximum
visibility.
• Be alert for slow moving vehicles and traffic stopped ahead.
• During light fogs, control your speed so that
you have sufficient visibility.
