Moeti Mmusi from the Mpumalanga Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison advised that if there is a heavy fog, motorists should always pull off and wait for it to clear.
“If you must really drive, you have to be extra cautious and make sure that you are visible and that you can also see other vehicles,” he said. “That is why we always encourage people to put on their hazards and be careful, also about the use of heaters because sometimes they can make you fall asleep, leading to accidents.”
