While it is advisable not to drive when visibility is low, there might be situations that require you to drive regardless of the weather. As the haze condition in Malaysia can vary in a matter of hours from moderate to bad, here are some safety tips to better prepare yourself while you are on the road.

Make use of your fog lamps
  • The fog lamp lights are considerably more noticeable and can travel further in distance when compared to low-beam headlights.

Give your high beam a rest
  • Avoid using high beam headlights as it doesn’t really help in hazy conditions but hinder other drivers’ vision.
