Gardaí warn drivers to use fog lights correctly amid heavy fog in Donegal

Gardaí are urging motorists in Donegal to familiarise themselves with the operation of their vehicle’s fog lights as heavy fog continues to reduce visibility on county roads.

Officers advise drivers to switch front and rear fog lights on only when dense fog or falling snow is present, and to switch them off as soon as conditions improve, in line with the Road Traffic Lighting of Vehicles Regulations.

Garda Suzanne Gordon highlighted the need for extra caution, noting that some drivers may neglect to use their headlights in poor visibility, increasing the risk of collisions.

Motorists are also reminded to keep a greater following distance and to ensure they can stop safely within the distance they can see ahead.
