Pointers
1. How to we and be wen in fog. Don’t
try to peer through fog. You won’t be able
to see very far. And the strain will only
make you tense.
Instead, concentrate on the right-hand
side of the road. Use headlights-day or
* night. If fog is heavy, the low beam will
give you best visibility. Tap your brakes
•whenever you intend to stop or slow
down. Your taillight will flash aftd warn
the driver behind you. Most important-
crawl. When conditions are so bad' that
you can’t drive safely, pull off the road
and stop. Park in a safe place until the
weather improves.
2. How to control your car in high, gusty
winds. Most important-be careful when
meeting oncoming trucks. As they whiz
by, they momentarily shield you from the
'wind, only to leave you open to a vicious
blast a split second later. Give trucks a 5
wide berth—and keep a firm grip on your *
steering wheel. In addition, watch out for
• “wind comers’*-places where the road
suddenly breaks into the open. Slow down
as you approach these danger spots. A
powerful wind may be lurking beyond a
clump of trees. And a sudden blast could
cause your car to swerve sharply.
’* '.iv . ■ ' ■ ;
3. What to do-in heavy rain. As soon as
the first drops hit your windshield, slow
down. From, then on, proceed with cau-
tion. The road may actually he slickest
when the rain first starts to fall. That’s be-
cause there is usually a film of oil on the
paved surface. Until the ram washes that
film away, a damp road can be treacher-
ous, Your car will require more distance
to stop. So reduce speed.
If the rain is really coming down, your
brake linings may get wet. Test them reg-

Ia a rainstorm, be sure to turn on your headlights the moment it grows dark. This may
be even before the rain starts. If the rain is extremely heavy, turn on your headlights
even if it doesn’t get dark. For two other tips on what to do in heavy rain, see item #3.

Sudden braking may trigger a skid. In- to avoid skidding in the opposite direction.

at is to keep moving. Stay at least a hundred

At dusk you can rarely see-or be seen-
easily. Headlights may not help much in
illuminating the roadway, but they are a
whole lot better than parking lights at
making your car more visible toother cars
and pedestrians. Always use your low-
beam headlights at dusk, note: Ih many
parts of the U.S., it is actually illegal to
drive at dusk with just your parking
lights on.
That’s the real lowdown. You can
count on your Shell dealer for straight
facts and honest work. See him regularly.
