Default Re: Driving your golf cart when it is foggy or raining.

Please oh please do NOT get fog lights. They help your visibility and blind anyone coming towards you. The fog isn't heavy enough to require fog lights here.

Dennis, great reminder. Coming from Northern California, turning on lights if there's fog is as automatic as putting on a seltbelt. Just has to be done. Of course, when we get the tule fog, all bets are off since seeing the front end of your car is a small miracle.

What amazes me is the cars that don't turn on their headlights in the rain here even though it is a law that if the wipers are on, so are the lights.

Low cars, scooters, motor cycles, golf carts all have a greater need to be seen. Many drivers seem to be blind to anything not on the actual road and sometimes even can't see other cars. I recommend that lights be used at all times. Any advantage in these circumstances is a good advantage.
