Hazard lights are not high intensity so the only thing they do in fog is to create confusion - the driver can't indicate to others whether he's turning or which way.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-58870656190346629302008-10-18T17:46:00.000+04:002008-10-18T17:46:00.000+04:00With reference to hazard lights during a fog, I st...With reference to hazard lights during a fog, I stumbled upon a US website that states:<BR/><BR/>If you must drive in fog, follow these safety tips:<BR/>4. Turn on all your lights-including your hazard lights. Use low beam headlights and fog lights.<BR/>6.Turn on your 4-way flashers to give vehicles approaching from behind a better opportunity to see and notice your vehicle.<BR/><BR/>Here's the <A HREF="http://www.weatherplus.com/driving-features/tips-for-driving-in-fog.php" REL="nofollow">link</A>.<BR/><BR/>The tips are attributed to the National Safety Council, the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Insurance. With holders of US driving licenses able to automatically get a UAE driving license, they would never know that the rules here are different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-22423893610375449042008-10-17T18:14:00.000+04:002008-10-17T18:14:00.000+04:00Hey...check out 'foggy pics' at my blog!!!The fog ...Hey...check out 'foggy pics' at my blog!!!<BR/><BR/>The fog was so bad that I had to pull over and park on the side of the road till the fog cleared!!Dubai Photo Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992390957821105778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-15418285796174844342008-10-17T11:54:00.000+04:002008-10-17T11:54:00.000+04:00LDU, they do, but many licenses (such as Oz, UK, U...<B>LDU</B>, they do, but many licenses (such as Oz, UK, USA) get you an automatic UAE licence, no test necessary. Others do have to take lessons and a test, but then you're up against the highly questionable standard of the instructors, and of course the driving cultures in so many different countries.<BR/>Compare the perfectly normal driving standards in, say, Cairo or Mumbai with, say, European cities, then add in the flat, straight, multi-lane highwys here and it's a recipe for disaster.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-14743098464077794162008-10-17T06:19:00.000+04:002008-10-17T06:19:00.000+04:00Sometimes I wonder whether they have driving permi...Sometimes I wonder whether they have driving permits...LDUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625937487320546155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-46911949855485737872008-10-17T05:50:00.000+04:002008-10-17T05:50:00.000+04:00THats surprising!THats surprising!Abidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042821519737093449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-21636585780608643932008-10-16T20:01:00.000+04:002008-10-16T20:01:00.000+04:00I am sooooo happy that I don't have to drive in th...I am sooooo happy that I don't have to drive in the fog in the UAE: the things I saw scared me shitless.Keefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820411415545249138noreply@blogger.com
