Reminder that when you're driving and there's weather like fog, snow, or rain, turn your headlights on. It doesn't help you to see better, no, but it does help other cars to see you, preventing accidental collisions from literally just not seeing another car.
This goes for everyone but especially "neutral" colored cars like gray, silver, white, black, and even just dark colors like dark blue. Cars with those colors blend into the road whenever visibility is low. Turn your headlights on. Let other cars know where you are.
Notice the car which you can see ONLY its headlights

[ID: a photo of various cars driving in fog. One of the cars is entirely obscured by the fog, except for its active headlights. End ID]
bringing this back to remind everyone that snow is also a visibility hazard, not just a skid hazard. Please turn your lights on!
BUT DO NOT TURN YOUR HIGH-BEAMS ON.
Regular headlights should be on, day or night, regardless of weather. Makes you much more visible to others, even on sunny days. But please, please, please DO NOT TURN YOUR HIGH-BEAMS ON in rain, fog, snow, etc. They will make it HARDER to see, both for you and for everyone around you.
High-beams have one purpose: to illuminate the world in front of you when it is dark out and there are no street lights, and only when it is dry.
hazards are also good for this, possibly better bc it's also giving the car BEHIND you updates on where you are
