Northwest Iowa For the past few days our area may have seemed like foggy old London with the amount of fog we’ve been experiencing most days, and the forecast says there is more fog to come for a few more days.
Iowa State Patrol Trooper Kevin Krull offers some advice for driving in fog.
(As above) “Fog is one of those dangerous things that we don’t think about often until we’re right there in the middle of it. One of the best things to do is slow down. I can’t say it enough…slow down and give yourself that extra distance, because you can’t see almost hardly in front of your windshield sometimes. So give yourself that extra space and that extra time by just slowing your speeds down.”
