Assam Police Releases Advisory Video For Picnic Season And Foggy Weather Driving

GUWAHATI: Assam Police has released an instructional video emphasizing the need for road safety in view of the joyous picnic season and the difficulties caused by winter fog. Important safety measures for leisure travel and driving in bad weather are highlighted in the advisory.

The video advises that a sober driver be assigned for every trip. Travelers are encouraged to ensure that driving responsibility is assigned to a non-drinking individual so that all members are safe during the outings. Travel planning based on weather forecasts is also encouraged, with a strong recommendation against traveling when it is raining heavily or is foggy.

The police added that journeys should be restricted to daylight hours, beginning after sunrise and ending before sunset, in order to reduce risks associated with low visibility.

The advisory also provides tips on how to handle foggy roads, including how to drive in such conditions. Slowing down is emphasized as an important action since high speeds in foggy conditions may cause accidents.

Drivers are warned against using high beams since the light may reflect off the fog and obscure visibility. Instead, low beams and fog lights are recommended to illuminate the road effectively.

Another key message is to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles because fog can create hazardous braking situations. Drivers are also instructed to check their vehicles before leaving to ensure lights, wipers, and fog lights are in good condition.

The video campaign by Assam Police urges everyone to be vigilant and make safety paramount, and a safe and enjoyable season should reign for all.
