B- Driving Conditions

1. Driving in Fog
Providing precise rules for driving in fog is very difficult. International Standards do not give a safe
visibility distance, this is because people’s individual interpretations of visibility in fog vary greatly
and conditions can change quickly.
In case of driving in fog;
 Keep vehicle speed down (drivers must not expect to be able to drive at their normal
speed)
 Dipped headlights must be used (side lights / parking lights are not sufficient)
 Fog lights must be switched on
 Use your wipers to remove the fog from the vehicle's windscreen
 Set heater controls to ‘de-mist’
 Keep in the left hand lane while driving in fog
 Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.
 Some drivers make the mistake of relying on the driver in front and follow their every move.
This can lead to a multiple accident, because if the driver in front makes mistake, then the
ones following will not have time or space to take avoiding action
 Don’t use hazard warning lights while driving in fog. These lights should only be used to
indicate danger or a defect in the vehicle
 Apply the vehicle brakes early and gradually to avoid swerving due to excessive braking
 Use the horn (if necessary) to alert vehicles to your presence
 Take extra care while driving. Hard surfaced roads may well be slippery. Look for road
markings to show the direction
 If the vehicle must be stopped, then pull off the road and use the hazard warning lights to
indicate the vehicle's position.
 Ensure the tire pressure as per manufacturer recommendations.

2. Driving in Rain
The following are guidelines for driving in rain:
 Reduce speed and only apply brakes gently. The rain will reduce the grip between the
vehicle's tires and the road. Stopping distances are increased substantially
 Use windscreen wipers, when necessary, to keep a clear windscreen
 Keep and maintain enough distance from the vehicle in front.
 Switch on vehicle lights if visibility is poor
 Stay in your lane and avoid overtaking vehicles
 Even after it has stopped raining the road surface may still be slippery - drive with care
 Ensure the tire pressure as per manufacturer recommendations.

3. Driving on slippery surface

Road surfaces may become slippery if there is a liquid spill, if it has recently rained or is foggy. If
this occurs use the following guidelines.
 Reduce speed gently
 Do not reduce or increase speed suddenly (the grip between the vehicle's tires and the
road may be severely reduced)
 Remember that whatever has made the road surface slippery may stay on the tires after
you have passed through it. Drive with extra care and test the brakes gently.
 Ensure the tire pressure as per manufacturer recommendations.

4. Driving in desert

Great care should be taken while driving in the desert, as it is a very hazardous environment. The
following are guidelines for driving in desert:

 Whenever possible avoid mid-day travel, when the sun is directly overhead. The sand is
softest at this time of day and rocks and other potential hazards are hard to see because
of the lack of shadows
 The best time to travel is early morning, when some moisture has formed on the sand
during the night, making the going firmer
 Desert travel at night should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, because of poor
visibility and the likelihood of getting lost or having an accident
 Stick to the established route and do not take short cuts. Vehicles that are stuck or lost
away from the established routes are harder to find
 If you come across someone who has got stuck in soft sand, do not attempt to drive up to
them. Stop your vehicle on firm ground and approach on foot
 If traveling in convoy with another vehicle, do not follow too closely.
 This enables better forward vision and if the front vehicle gets stuck, the following one can
avoid also getting stuck
 If tire pressures have been adjusted for desert driving make sure that they are re-adjusted
when returning to a hard surfaced road
 Don't drive down slip-faces unless absolutely necessary, in which case use caution
 When traveling on soft sand avoid hard braking or sudden acceleration (especially in low
gears), since this will dig the tires in and the vehicle may become stuck.
 Ensure the tire pressure as per manufacturer recommendations.

5. Driving in a sand storm


In the event of being caught in a sand storm:
 Do not attempt to drive through the storm, poor visibility can easily result in an accident
 Put the vehicle hazard lights on and pull off the road

Management Date of Rev.: Mar 15, 2017
Page 23 of 29

 Park with the rear of the vehicle facing the direction of the storm, this will help to prevent
windscreen damage
 Contact your destination and inform them of your location and estimated delay time (if the
estimate turns out to be incorrect contact your destination and update them)
 Wait inside the vehicle until the storm clears

6. Driving in a dust cloud


Vehicles travelling on gravel or sand roads frequently cause dust clouds. They are usually of very
short duration. Dust clouds can be seen long before they are entered, giving plenty of time for
preparation.
 Switch on dipped headlights
 Reduce speed, and keep to the right of the track
 Keep a safe distance back from the cloud
 If visibility becomes very bad, pull off the road until the dust subsides
 Do not overtake in dust cloud conditions
 Watch out for others trying to overtake and be prepared to take avoiding action
7. Driving at night
The following are guidelines for driving at night:
 Keep speed down to a level that is appropriate to the surface being driven on and how far
can be seen ahead
 Dipped headlights must be used (side lights / parking lights are not sufficient)
 Only use headlights on full beam when there are no vehicles ahead.
 Remember to dip headlights when coming across another vehicle.
 Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.
 Some drivers make the mistake of following and relying on the tail lights of the vehicle in
front. This can lead to a multiple accident, because if the driver in front makes a mistake,
then the ones following will not have time or space to take avoiding action.
 Take extra care while driving at night. Look for road markings to show the direction and
any markings indicating road under repair.
