Manmeet Singh GillTribune News ServiceAmritsar, November 21The absence of driver-friendly road infrastructure, coupled with negligence on part of drivers, results in many accidents during fog. While the shortcomings in road infrastructure, especially on links roads connecting rural areas to the city, are a cause of concern, the absence of tail lights, fog lights and the lack of knowledge about safety guidelines are a few faults on the part of drivers. As the fog consists of tiny droplets of water, high beam lights get reflected and visibility gets decreased. He said most of the time, people hit wooden carts, trolleys and other vehicles from behind as these do not have tail lights. All vehicles may not have front fog lights but reflectors at the tail are a must, so that drivers coming behind could spot these vehicles,” he said..
