Delhi Traffic Police Issues Safety Tips As Dense Fog Reduces Visibility; Check Do's And Don'ts

Delhi-NCR have witnessed dense fog since late December 2023. The visibility in the national capital ranged from 200m to 500m on Thursday morning.

To avoid road accidents, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory for safe driving. Following are some do's and don'ts:

Don'ts:

• Do not overtake during foggy weather.
• Do not rush or speed up in fog. Wait for some time to let the thick fog clear.
• Do not change lanes to avoid hitting other vehicles.
