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.
