Foggy weather advice to West Sussex road users

POLICE are reminding drivers to make sure they can see and be seen as shortening daylight hours have coincided with periods of fog across Sussex.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “Motorists are urged to adjust their driving to take account of the reduced visibility caused by less daylight hours and the likelihood of fog. The potential for slippery road conditions is heightened due to wet leaves when driving near or under trees so please remain alert to the hazards of Autumn.

“Turning on your headlights, not just sidelights, when visibility is poor not only lets you see and be seen – it’s also the law. It’s a basic thing to do but many people forget, especially when they’re driving through fog.
