Forecasters are warning freezing fog across much of the East of England could cause dangerous driving conditions.

The warning's in place until 11am this morning.

The Met Office has offered this advice for road users when travelling in fog:

  • Avoid travel if possible
  • Drive very slowly with dipped headlights - full-beam lights reflect off the fog causing a 'white wall' effect
  • Keep an eye on your speed, fog can give the illusion of moving in slow motion
  • Use fog lights, but remember to turn them off when the visibility improves
  • Don't hang on the tail lights of the car in front, rear lights can give a false sense of security
  • Watch out for freezing fog which is made of water droplets that freeze on contact with objects such as the pavement, road, car, etc. It can quickly form a layer of ice
