Tips from OSRAM Automotive for safe driving in fog
 
Adjust your speed, drive defensively and keep your distance. Whenever visibility is poor you need to react quickly to unexpected situations, so it’s important to reduce your speed, drive defensively and keep sufficient distance from the vehicle in front. As a rule of thumb, if visibility is 50 meters or less, then the minimum distance to the vehicle in front should correspond to your speed in kilometers per hour – in other words, 50 km/h for 50 meters, 40 km/h for 40 meters, and so on.  

Using fog lights: Fog lights are extremely useful in thick fog or snow because they illuminate the road better and improve visibility. However, they must not dazzle other road users, so they should only be used when visibility is poor due to weather conditions, otherwise you may be fined. And as soon as visibility is less than 50 meters the speed limit drops to 50 kilometers an hour or less. Only then should you also switch on your rear fog lights.
