(HealthDay News) -- Navigating in a car or truck during foggy weather can be difficult and downright dangerous.

If you must drive during fog, the National Weather Service offers these safety suggestions:

• Drive slowly and allow for extra time to reach your destination.
• Use your car's low-beam lights to make your vehicle more visible. Use fog lights if you have them.
• Never use your car's high beams during fog. They cause glare, making it more difficult to see what's ahead.
• Leave extra distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
• Follow road lines with your eyes.
• When visibility is very low, pull over to a safe spot, and put on the hazard lights until the fog lifts.
