The Road Safety Authority has this advice:

For Motorists

  • Slow down and increase the distance from the vehicle in front.
  • Use dipped headlights and front and rear fog lights, if fitted.
  • Open your window a little so you can hear other road users approaching, particularly at junctions.
  • Remember to switch off fog lights when visibility improves.
  • Keep a sharp lookout for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
  • Do not blindly follow the vehicle in front – it may leave the road for whatever reason.
  • If you have to stop, activate your hazard warning lights.

For Pedestrians

  • Be Seen to Be Safe! Visibility is reduced in poor weather conditions so wear high visibility clothing  or carry a torch. As children often journey to school in the  dark, make sure your child can be seen.
  •  Be extremely careful in the vicinity of open water, canals, lakes, ponds or coastal piers etc.
