Toyota of Clermont

Drive your new Toyota in the fog like a pro with Toyota of Clermont tips!

Fall is coming, friends! We’ve noticed a drop in temperatures here in Central Florida lately, and more rain and cooler days are headed our way. Sometimes this weather can bring fog along with it, making your early morning drive time a bit more challenging. Toyota of Clermont is here to help – we’ve got all the tips you need to maneuver your new Toyota near Orlando safely through foggy weather! 

Take your new Toyota out in the fog without worries

Foggy weather can make your drive time a bit more difficult, but with the right tools and info it doesn’t have to be scary or stressful. The first thing to remember when you’re driving your new Toyota near Orlando in less-than-clear weather is to turn on your headlights! They should help you see a little bit better, but it’s mostly for the benefit of the other drivers on the road. This helps them to see your new Toyota and your movements more easily. However, don’t turn on your high-beams – they’ll reflect off the fog and make it more difficult for you to see! 
  • The next thing to remember when you take your new Toyota out in the fog is to slow down. Reduce your speed so you're comfortable driving in the limited visibility that fog creates, and don't rush to get to your destination. It'll be harder to see and therefore harder to react in a timely manner, so take our Toyota driving safety tips seriously – drop your speed and take your time! 
  • Another reason to drop the speed of your new Toyota besides visibility is the fact that the roads will be slick. After all, fog is wet, and the condensation can make surfaces slippery – including the pavement. Slow down and take your time, especially when maneuvering your car through turns or on/off ramps to the highway! 

Be sure to carefully handle your Toyota near Orlando in fog!

  • Turn on your wipers, too! This may seem silly if it's not raining, but fog can cause condensation on the windshield of your new Toyota near Orlando and make it even more difficult to see. Use your wipers to clear it away and keep your field of vision open.
  • Watch out for animals, especially in the dark. It's hard enough to see them even without the fog, so use your defensive driving skills and be proactive about it by keeping an eye out for them when you hit the road, especially in more rural areas! 
  • If it's really foggy and visibility is slim-to-none, you may want to consider pulling your car off to the side of the road until things clear a little. Make sure you leave your headlights on and turn your hazards on as well so other drivers passing you can see exactly where you are and avoid getting into a collision with your parked car.
