Scary Fog In Dubai Yesterday

The fog has arrived and yesterday was one of the many more fogs we will encounter here in Dubai. Yesterday's fog was scary because it was dense and descended so fast. I peeped through our bedroom window to see only flicker of lights from vehicles and the street lamps. And 5 minutes after, the fog was thick, very misty and very dangerous.

The news today warned the public of the many more fog encounters we will have these coming days because the weather is changing. We are slowly easing into fall.

Driving in a very dense fog is treacherous. Plenty of motorists decided to stay home and waited it out while others pulled on the shoulder and the side of the road for safety. Others decided to skip work or school while others drove slowly than ever because you couldn't see the curb nor the pavement on the thick fog yesterday. Even flights were diverted and delayed. That one fog which lasted for several hours in the morning caused mayhem both on the ground and off!

So if you happen to drive into another fog in the coming days, please remember to practice caution. Do not, I repeat, do not ever use hazard lights as motorists behind will not be able to anticipate your sudden change of lane or stop. Use the fog lights and maintain a low beam. Using a high beam can reflect more light to tiny moisture and can cause more visibility issues. Also, drive slowly and maintain a safe distance of about 2-3 cars apart. Be patient as everyone else is hoping and praying to get to their destinations safely and in one piece.

Drive a Hyundai

I like to drive practical cars or SUVs. I may have my dream car but my preference for an economical and easy to maintain vehicles still prevail.

I have been driving my Hyundai Tucson for 4 years now. I am satisfied with its performance. In those 4 years, I have not encountered any machine issues. It is well maintained and I make sure that I have all the components and mechanism checked. I do recommend Hyundai. If you want to test drive it, you can visit Hyundai Utah if you are in the vicinity or visit any auto dealers nearest you and feel the comfort of a compact suburban vehicle without burning a big hole in your pocket.

Driving an economical SUV like the compact Hyundai Tucson has its many positive points. It is an inexpensive vehicle that is great for city driving. Out Hyundai Tucson has 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with automatic transmission. The gas usage is very economical as we can use the full tank for almost 2 weeks if our regular drive is within the city limits. It does pack much on power like other contemporary vehicles but this is why it is so gas-efficient.

The features of other contemporary vehicles is also present in Hyundai. It has MP3/CD player, airbags for safety, sport handle bars on top, sunroof (optional), manual/automatic transmission, alloy wheels with or without mag wheels and a spacious cabin.

It can seat 5-6 people and has ample space for storage at the back. The seat at the bag can be folded as well to accommodate bulkier items.

The exterior is also something you cannot be embarrassed of even if the price is not at par with other contemporary vehicles. It has a sleek but not bulky design. You can get it painted glossy or pearlized and have other trims if necessary and it will still look beautiful without trying so hard.

Drive one now and find out why having a Hyundai is a good decision when practicality outweighs other trivial factors.
