PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER CARS. YOU CAN OVERTAKE
ANOTHER VEHICLE QUICKLY IN POOR VISIBILITIES...SO SLOW DOWN AND
DRIVE DEFENSIVELY.
My Input: Today was quite a day for north Houston...it reminded me more of San Francisco. We had an ALL DAY fog and temperatures in the lower 60s. Tonight though, this fog has become extremely dense with visibilities down to half a mile ALREADY (at 9pm) at Hooks. Many places will probably see near 0 mile visibilities tomorrow morning. Be careful on the roads!
